Sweetness and Light

In which I resume my curmudgeon role

If you haven’t been following the Nick Douglas scandale, this may not make sense to you. But karion’s advice is real sound, and I encourage all (and perhaps a specific few) to take note of the oversharey obsessy self-absorbed sex stuff. 

karion:

Dear pocketnovel:

I am going to tell you something earth-shattering and heretical, and at first, you are going to resist it, not unlike Miranda in SATC, when she was given the immortal words of “he’s just not that into you.”

Well, there is that, too, but I digress.

Absolutely no one but you is obsessing about your sex life and absolutely no one but you is giving it a second meaningful thought.  You aren’t enlightening our virginal ears with tales of how good he looks naked and you aren’t empowering otherwise frigid girls to suddenly give head.  What you have become is the kind of girl who just won’t shut the fuck up to her friends, only you’ve confused tumblr followers for friends.  

You know who likes hanging out with that girl?  No one, least of all the guy.  Discretion is a virtue and demonstrates integrity, especially if you had the sad sense to crush on Nick Douglas. 

I am all for the home team and note that you are a Seattle transplant, which is why this is so gentle and measured.  You seem like a bright, motivated girl who can appreciate that surrendering your privacy necessarily compromises that of others and invites a level of scrutiny and commentary that is just entirely too distracting and taxing.  While you are traveling, I want you to give the concepts of privacy and discretion some serious consideration.  Don’t blog about it, just think about it, and what its value might add to your life.  When you get back, I’ll buy you a few glasses of wine and see what you came up with.

Travel safe,

karion

I am fucking pissed, at myself, at the boy, at the rest of fucking Tumblr. I just want to clear something up, for all you fucktards that think you know me and what my feelings are based on one or two goddamn Tumblr posts.

Battlestar Galactica

dearconbon:

Baltar is annoyed because Adama tells him to test Ellen in front of everyone else, then Roslin overrides Adama, then Roslin reverses her order when she finds out more about Ellen. Also you are probably a Cylon if you don’t like this show.

Yes, but the scene where he gets frustrated about the hours of testing takes place before all those hijinks happen. It’s got to be an error. I know everyone loves it but I can’t stand 90% of the characters. The President was growing on me til this episode. Starbuck is off her gourd. Adama and Apollo= boring. Tigh= kind of cool. Sharon, I like. That guy she’s seeing = like, but refuses to act on anything. No.6 = die. Billy = good. 

I just have a problem when I feel the writing staff doesn’t want a story to progress naturally, and when people don’t ask proper questions. Like on Lost. But I still watch that. So who knows, maybe this is my next Lost.

P.S. Did I reblog this too fast? Is that as creepy as writing back on someone’s Facebook wall like a minute after they write?
