Kate: Everything is so great and stressful all at once Meg

ALSO

CA fans are all "How will we stay in touch after this?"

Meg: UM

Kate: Because obviously it's impossible to meet someone in a fandom and stay friends.

Meg: YOU'RE ON THE INTERNET?????

wow kids these days

Kate: RIGHT?

Really you are probably the person I've been continuously friends with the longest at this point, other than like cousins.

BUT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO TALK TO PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF FANDOM

Meg: w o w

Kate: You and Rachel, I guess, but I talk to her less.

Kate: Oh god we've been friends since before some of these kids were born.

Meg: you trip them with your cane, I'll beat them with my walker

also this is going on tumblr

FXX is a channel that already exists, so you could check now to see if you have it, just so you'd know in advance!

No, that’s right, it’s on a different channel. FXX. Should be easily accessible, though. It’s a younger and comedy-skewing channel.

I could! Macha can vouch for my betaing ability.

Aha! I’ve spent a lot of time in Danbury. :) (I grew up near there.)

I don’t know if you care about using a real town, but I’m pretty sure there’s no Danvers in CT, fwiw. (The famous one is in MA.)

Ha ha ha, did I put a question mark after that? I should have. I was trying to remember the name of the place - I meant Danbury, which came to me this morning.

A piece of advice for all my followers:  Getting older is actually really nice.

My blog/s: Teen Librarian Toolbox.

@uchidachi tagged me in some thing or other, I have no idea.  The rules are apparently 

Rule 1: Always post the rules. 
Rule 2: Answer questions that are given to you and then write 11 new ones.
Rule 3: Tag 11 people. 
Rule 4: Let them know you tagged them.
Rule 5: Don’t change the rules.

So she gave me the following questions:

1. If you could only wear one t-shirt for the rest of your life which would you choose?

Probably my Zefram Cochrane Memorial Library one, because it summarizes my life.

2. What is your favorite thing about Tumblr?

Way easier to waste time here than on LJ.

3. What is your Least favorite thing about tumblr?

Oh my god, I waste so much time here

4. What is your favorite flavor of fanfic?

Long, plotty, good characterization, with some nice h/c in there somewhere.  Jim Kirk is a plus.  Steve Rogers coping being dragged across most of a century without so much as a by-your-leave also a plus, but only if it's written accurately.  (You may note that these are basically what I write, when I do.)

5. How cute is my cat on a scale of 1 - 10?

20.

6. What song absolutely positively must be included on a mix tape made for you?

Anything by Vienna Teng, really. Lately I am all about Level Up, from her latest album Aims which is amazing and you should totally buy it.

7. If you were a robot what kind of robot would you be?

I would be a space-traveling robot.

8. Which kind of cheese is best?

You mean after the cheese I am eating right now? Well, you can't go wrong with an extra-sharp aged cheddar.

9. If you could rewrite the ending of one movie, which would it be and what would you change?

I WOULD REWRITE ALL OF STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS.  I WOULD STOP WRITING JIM AS A MANWHORE. I WOULD GIVE SPOCK SOMETHING BESIDES MANPAIN (spock is so much richer than that jesus christ). ALSO I WOULD FIX THE HIDEOUS UNDERUSE OF SULU, CHEKOV, AND ESPECIALLY MCCOY BECAUSE THAT IS JUST FUCKING CRIMINAL.  I WOULD STOP USING FEMALE CHARACTERS AS PLOT ADVANCEMENT DEVICES AND GIVE THEM ACTUAL CHARACTERIZATION BECAUSE THEY ARE FUCKING CHARACTERS AND MARCUS AND UHURA BOTH DESERVE BETTER THAN THAT.  SURAK FUCKING WEPT. AND AFTER i WAS FINISHED LECTURING SIMON PEGG ON HOW NOT TO BE A DOUCHEYACHT TO YOUR FANS I WOULD MAYBE - MAYBE - ALLOW HIM BACK ON SET.

I WOULD WRITE A SCRIPT ABOUT THE AFTERMATH OF TARSUS, BECAUSE I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A STAR TREK THAT EXAMINES QUESTIONS OF WAR CRIMES AND JURISDICTION BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT TO BE A FAR MORE TOPICAL QUESTION THAN YET ANOTHER CASE OF 9/11 PORN REMINDING ME THAT ORCI IS A TRUTHER WHO DOESN'T UNDERSTAND BASIC FUCKING PHYSICS.

CUMBERBATCH CAN STAY, BUT ONLY IF HE PLAYS KODOS. I WANT TO HEAR HIM READ THE SPEECH.

FUCKING A, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN SO EASY, YOU GODDAMN ASSHOLES.  YOU WANT MANPAIN? I WILL GIVE YOU BEAUTIFUL MANPAIN.

So I have thought deeply about this.

10. What cheers you up the most when you are sad?

You mean besides screaming my hatred of STID to a cold uncaring universe?

Knitting, especialy in the company of my LSG ladies.  Imma tag you, ha! 

But in all seriousness, knitting soothes my soul both in the physical actions and in the amazing women it has brought into my life.

11. (uchidachi forgot to write an eleven.  fool.)

OK.  So my questions.

Which deceased historical figure would you most like to bang? Be honest.

Grilled cheese or toasted cheese?

Apparently the new Batman v. Superman movie is going to be SO superserious that there will be no jokes.  How much did you laugh reading that statement?

Favorite libation?

If you had to go back to college, right now, and had to pick a different major than the one you originally studied, what would it be?

Who would win in a cagefight, Neil degrasse Tyson or Chris Hadfield?

Describe your dream vacation.

Favorite flavor of Star Trek?

Since I'm tagging knitters:  favorite dyer/line yarn?

Also, favorite designer?

If I was holding you at needlepoint forcing you to pick a Stephen West pattern, which one would you pick?
