Jun. 9th, 2005 01:55 amIts a fact. X-Men 3 is going to be a bad movie. *tear*
just kinda got home from work. We close at midnight now!!! wooo! best idea ever!! uhh..no. an extra hour to sit around and twiddle our thumbs. Or listen to Loveline! :) :) well, i didn't miss Bravery on Loveline. but wasn't that big of a deal...since the guests on that show don't ever really do much but mumble a couple things every once in a while.
Rant: Fanfiction: Slashy
I was asked an interesting question today.
Why do so many people want to see Green Day have sex with each other? Or something very similar to that. In other words...why do so many people write slash fanfiction where bands/people/movie stars have sex with each other. Good question. I really tried to come up with a good answer. Its hard to say. Other then I guess a basic fantasy kinda porn thing. because I love Metallica but none of them are very attractive but still something draws me to those guys and I've written some stuff with them. and I've always been a fan of Green Day. Loved them for their music. Just recently started reading and writing fanfiction with them. Why? I don't know. They aren't the most attractive men in the world either. And why take real people and put them unrealistic or just fantasized scenerios? Is it another step in idolization? Is using real people just an easy way to picture written stories? I can't quite explain why these certain "celebrities" draw my attention or why I move past the line of just loving their music and putting them in a fanfic. Its a strange line that gets crossed. Is it too far into "obsession" or is it just another way to express ones self? ehhh.
and another question. Is it an unhealthy line to cross? Or is fanfiction a perfectly legitimate way to excercise creativity or just have some fun? or is it sick and invading into these people's personal space by putting them fictionally in these circumstances.
I don't know. I like fanfiction. I'm a fan. but its a hard question to answer without sounding strange or insane.

I just lost the memory of everything else that's happened today now. so I'll stop. Oh! Katie! thanks for letting me know the time. :) and I don't know how to change the number of ring on the phone.
