The important questions.

THIRD try because LJ didn't like my poll. *tear*

siriaeve siriaeve siriaeve! Guess who's in my history tutorial? It's Orlando Momoa!

Yeah, so siriaeve and I keep seeing this guy around the Trinity campus who, I swear to God, looks like the secret love child of Jason Momoa and Orlando Bloom. He's got the Ronon dreads but he's kind of babyfaced and the combination is just...hee. And now I have a class with him! And--watch, it gets better--it turns out that he's French! His name is Jean! *dies*

Ahh, it almost made up for the tutor writing the following on the board when we were talking about reading primary documents:

Important! Who its by + who for

I couldn't concentrate for the rest of the tutorial; I kept wanting to make a mad dash for the chalk and add the missing apostrophe. Yes, for want of an apostrophe, I will have difficulty respecting this tutor for the rest of the term. *is a snob and a bitch*

So while I'm busy feeling superior in my mad grammar skillz (she said, at which point anyone who had read more than one or two entries in this journal burst into painful, side-splitting laughter), I was wondering if someone could help me with an area in which I have considerably less expertise? We're talkin' science. SGA fandom is tough for me in this way, but so far I think I've been able to fake it reasonably well. (Er...right?) Now, though, I'm stuck dealing with a story that, annoyingly, has an actual PLOT, and the plot involves genetics just enough that it's making me feel uncomfortable. Basically, I have a somewhat outrageous sci-fi premise, and I need to make it sound scientifically plausible--not actually scientifically plausible, but I'm aiming for at least the level of plausibility as most of the stuff they spit out on the show. (Not a very high aim, from what I've been told.) Would someone with a bit of sciencey knowledge be willing to e-mail with me a bit about this? I'd discuss it more here, but I don't want to give away my OH-SO-EXCITING PLOT TWIST, OMG!!! So yeah: trinityofone@livejournal.com should get it to me. Thank you!

And because this post is BORING, and the last thing the world needs is another BORING POST, I'll provide you instead with another:

[Poll #651589]

Please feel free to further explicate your decisions. I have my theories, but I suspect they are based entirely on conjecture and personal preference. Like I said: science!

as with most fans of the non-scary variety I like them to go back and forth, but for any given scene it depends what mood I'm in--usually I have a preference for rodney on top but then some days you just want to see an astrophysicist totally lose it, you know? *g* they each--mostly my mental entry point to the pairing is john's issues and vulnerabilities and exposing that, so mostly that's where i go, but it all depends really. and that dynamic is more about the--well, dynamic, than the actual sex act, so it might not be 'topping' per se--FANDOM NEEDS MORE HANDJOBS--but yeah. that.

really i am wary of the whole BUTTSEX SUPREMACY thing, because it's just so...any sexuality that is ALL ABOUT PENIS-IN-GROINAL-SOCKET makes me wary, and it's totally limiting as faras the million things which are so very hot. ...but I LOVE THE BUTTSEX, i cannot lie, so my dream sex scene would have the fucking, i just don't want to be one of THOSE FANS and turn buttsex into THE CULMINATION OF LOVE AND ANGELS SINGING FROM HEAVEN. you know.

boy, i think too much about this stuff.

Wait, it's NOT? Then what's this angelic choir doing in here? The leave their harps everywhere and I'm always tripping over their robes.

I have no idea what this comment is even about anymore.

Oh, right: buttsex. You know, I used to really dislike the buttsex? When I first blushingly read slash at 14, I was all like, "Ew! OMG Krycek why are you doing that to Mulder?! Ouchy!" I was fine for handjobs and blowjobs and frottage (though I did not know that term, natch) but I always skimmed the buttsex. What can I say? I was a foolish, foolish child.

And now, as with all things that initially freak me out, I really, really like it. It's just. Well, it's very, very intense. Other types of sex can be, too, when they're done (written) correctly, but there's a built-in intensity to, um, anything that involves penetration. Which may also be why I really like blowjobs.

Oh, whatever. I just like porn, okay? PORN. Sing for that, angels, sing!

...And I'm back to having no idea what I'm talking about.

boy, i think too much about this stuff.

Nah.
