Jul. 28th, 2009 09:11 pmargggh why does my dad always blame it on everyone else but him?
also, what the heck? he cannot put the baseball game on here and not allow me to play my music or watch anything and then work on his own computer, which has sound! like the one in the schoolroom i normally have to work on does not!
basically, he wanted me to put on the radio mlb.tv for the yankee game, i got it up and firefox immediately slowed to a freakin' crawl. he said 'well your stuff often does slow down the computer.' which, no, what slows down the computer is him saving hundreds of pictures of baseball pitchers and also downloading every derek price sermon ever! that is what slows a computer down. i had word and firefox up. in firefox i had yahoo, songza and a poem up. that is all! and it was going more or less fine before. the mlb radio thing said 'error, cannot process your request'. firefox was barely moving, i had to get out of everything and quit and reboot it to get it to work at all and when i told him this his basic reaction was 'this is obviously your fault! mlb radio takes up no space at all!'
damn it i'm the one who was there and watching!
oh, look, he's back to be a jerk again.
fuck this shit. that is all. fuck. this. shit.
*furious*

Date: 2009-07-29 01:48 am (UTC)my brother too, come to think of it. Say, if a chair that had been broken and rewelded (REALLY shoddily) -twice- happens to break -again-, it's obviously because -my- fat arse was jumping up and down on it like a demented 5-year-old! because nobody else in this house sits in chairs!
*pours us both a drink* Double Scotch on the rocks, for me. et tu?

Date: 2009-07-30 10:18 pm (UTC)It is me! Mostly I'm not around, because I forget to check forums every day, but I saw them recently and was like 'PROBLEM OF SUSAN OMG YAY!' It is always enough to make me post. ALWAYS.

Date: 2009-07-30 11:16 pm (UTC)Hmmmm. What's it like on there? I poked around and some of their recced stories are AWESOME and some are...not, and it seems very het-oriented. Is it femslash friendly? What are the people like?
no subject
Date: 2009-07-31 12:37 am (UTC)The people are really nice! I think the people on there tend to be much more the purist Narnian fans - y'know, Aslan is wonderful and it's all idyllic, which I tend to not hold to much, mostly because I associate Aslan with God and I have all sorts of issues in that direction. Also, uh, Aslan's a bit of a bastard, really. So I tend to have about the opposite of opinions on some things as them, but they are really nice people. Femslash, uh. I kind of doubt that. They seem very het-oriented. (Which reminds me! I keep wanting to write some sort of Golden Age Lucy-centered fic and I just have so many problems with her character!)
no subject
Date: 2009-08-01 05:44 am (UTC)I agree--I tend to think of Aslan as a good guy, but I tend to also think of him as non-omnipotent too. Very wise but very limited. Because otherwise? He's a BASTARD.
(Omg, write it! What kind of problems???)
no subject
Date: 2009-08-02 05:56 pm (UTC)a) it's Lucy. I just find writing Lucy so hard. b) It would be femslash, definitely (I see Lucy as bi tending strongly towards girls), and not Susan/Lucy, so I'd have to come up with an OC. Narnian OC's are difficult for me. c) Golden Age! d) no. mustn't. start. another. story. *dies*
Hopefully sometime once I've gotten a lot of other things done I'll give her a go, though. *crosses fingers*

Date: 2009-08-02 10:35 pm (UTC)WHAT. Do you have a link? I would love to read your comments. But a lot of that is Lewis's spin on things too--he cuts LWW after a week and then shoves them back home. And then the Professor gives them such unhelpful advice because he doesn't get it either. :/
OMG THAT ALL SOUNDS AWESOME. DOOOOO IT.

Date: 2009-08-03 12:05 am (UTC)Not quite omnipotent but not very willing to let people know that Aslan is kind of awesome. XD Exactly! A 100 years into the Witch's reign, how far into the Telmarine's? He can't be omnipotent.
I shall try sometime!

Date: 2009-08-03 01:21 am (UTC)Also, it irritates me when people try to put all of the Susan Problem onto her vanity* without recognizing the bigger patterns in Narnia re: women and women's agency, sexuality, and adulthood.
*which totally makes no sense because she wasn't vain until LB
