Sorry these took me a few days. I just can't seem to get back in the groove! ARGH. I'll get there though...I will doggone it!!

Well, cause I can't seem to write anything else at the moment (the muse must be on vacation in Fiji or something cause she sure as heck isn't working with me at all), I thought I'd just ramble on a bit and have a little convo with the flist. Fun, right?
So, first off, for you McDonalds fans...I tried the new Southern Style Chicken sandwich tonight for dinner. They should have just said "The exactly like Chick-Fil-A Sandwich" and called it done. But if you like Chick-Fil-A, which I do, then you'll like it. I rarely eat out cause really...expensive much?..but really wanted some French Fries for some reason. *shrugs*
Also realized recently that I know *nothing* about politics. It's disappointing really. But how the heck to you decide what party you are or who to vote for? I have no idea. Honestly. Am embarrassed to admit it to tell you the truth. The democratic primary is coming to Indiana next and we've been getting slammed with ads and such on the candidates. It's very confusing. But I guess the only way to learn is by doing so that's what I've decided to do. Will just have to give it a go and see what I think about it I suppose.
Um...how weird is it that I just mentioned McDonalds and politics next to each other? I'm so weird.
Anyhoo, so with the muse on vacation and all, you'd think I have lots more time on my hands. Alas, no. I've been babysitting the niece and nephews for the past week while my brother is in Wisconsin training for his new job. I'm reading a bit (loving "Subspace" by![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
toobusy2write) but mainly just dinking around. Add to that the fact that I've had a really crappy time of it lately (my mother has suggested that I'm cursed and I'm beginning to agree...but I won't curse myself further with one of those what else could possibly questions cause if I've learned anything from watching Buffy, it's not to say that! Oh, and not to make wishes! And not to invite strangers inside cause they might be vampires. *snicker*
And since I'm rambling, I have a few fandom type questions I'd like to pose to the flist.
First, what's the deal with the Five things fics? I see them all over the place. Is there a reason why so many people write them? Not that I'm opposed or anything. I've read several and they're fabulous. But just wondering the why-fors about them. Clue me in, would ya?
Second, just a random weirdness type question... Do you guys have a certain person that you secretly (or not so secretly?) hope comments on your posts? I must confess that I do. No names or anything, but when this one person comments, it makes my day. And I'm still hoping to get a comment from this other person who probably doesn't even know that I exist. Weird right? Is it just me?
Third, just for curiousities sake, do you only read fic with pairings that you love or do you give them all a try? I'm a read everything gal. I find that these days I especially enjoy reading rare pairings cause there's a been there, read that feel to so many things. Not to say that I don't read those still as well, but I see a rare pairing and I jump on it. Course, that's probably why purps and I startedrogue_slashercause we both wanted to see "the other guys".
I'd also like to know who your favorite character from BtVS/AtS is and why. I can honestly say that I don't have an absolute favorite. No really! I don't!! Some of you might think it's Oz or Xander, but it's just that I like writing them more. Heck, I am Xander (notice the babbling that is this post and you'll have to agree) and I'd like to be Oz. He was just so *cool*. I am not now, nor have I ever been, cool. I mean, my nephews think I'm cool but they're 8 and 5 and I spoil them rotten so...
Let's see...what else? I know! What would you like to see me write that I haven't already? I want *someone* out there to write more stuff with Oz and Riley. I love reading fics with those two. Not necessarily as a pairing, although I soooo wouldn't be opposed to that, but just more fics that feature them.
Okay. Shutting up now. Would love to hear what you think...
