The older sister comes home tonight. I...am not sure how I feel about this.

On the one hand: it'll be nice to have the whole family together. Given that the freakishly tall boy didn't go with us to her apartment for Thanksgiving, that means that the whole family hasn't been together since...uh...I don't remember. Sometime over the summer, probably. (Did she come home at all this summer? I don't remember. Probably.)

On the other hand: We don't get along terribly well. We get along a lot better than we did when we were kids and hated each other's guts, and we have actually managed to have civil conversations in the past year or so. But we don't have anything in common and it always ends up being awkward and uncomfortable.

I don't know.


Last night I dreamed that I was at Logan Airport trying to catch my flight to Virginia, but I misplaced my ticket so I didn't know what time my flight was, and having forgotten my cell phone and lost my watch I didn't know what time it was, so I missed it. Does this mean something? I would say it's just anxiety except I'm not flying again for another month, so it seems a bit early for anxiety dreams about flying.


In fandom news:

Lost finally has a Midsummer Night's Dream AU! Every fandom needs a MND AU. This one's not done yet, but the first half is hilarious and brilliant and makes me smile hugely. Was written for [livejournal.com profile] hiatus_stories, which is turning out some awesome fics and still has a couple months to go.

There's a rumor going around that the Lost premier might be pushed back to January, which would be six kinds of awesome because the hiatus is murder and I wanna know about slightlypsychic!Desmond.

[livejournal.com profile] lost_hohoho is in full swing, with several of the fics posted already. Mostly Jack/Sawyer, but there's also Othersfic, and Clairefic, and Desmondfic, and a truly awesome Shannonfic...etc. I WANNA KNOW WHO WROTE FOR ME. *cough* And which prompt they chose. And so on.

Army of Ghosts/Doomsday finally aired in the States, and as was expected American fandom is doing the same thing British fandom did last spring...the Rose fangirls are imploding from their loss. WHY IS NOBODY MOURNING MICKEY. I want to know. I watched it on SciFi just so I could cry over losing Mickey again. And Jackie. And Jake.

And I spent the Cybermen-invasion scenes giggling and trying to figure out where Lisa and Ianto might have been during them. 'Cause I'm a geek like that.

And finally, to all of the Andromeda fen on my flist:

What are your favorite Harper moments? I'm trying desperately to finish my essay, and I want to make sure I get all the best, defining Harper moments in it.

MICKEY WAS SO, SO WONDERFUL. I think his little arc was my favourite thing about the entire second series. ♥

Mickey was one of the Best Sci-Fi Characters Ever, no joke. I love him too, too much. &hearts

Heh, I paid my daily visit to [livejournal.com profile] time_and_chips and clicked the back button when I saw all the post-Doomsday mourning.

I had enough of that with the Doctor Who fandom the first time around and it's happening again, though on a smaller scale. But still...guh. Even when I first started watching the show, I knew that it was a show where characters died/regenerated/left. It bugs me when some fans act so shocked and devestated when someone leaves.

It's like LOST. We learned early on that this is a show where main characters can and will die. So even though I'm really attached to some characters and would be gutted if they left, I wouldn't make a twat out of myself over it. Not even if it was Sawyer

It drives me crazy. Okay, I whine...I whine at the loss of Mickey in DW, I whine at losing Shannon in Lost, but I understand that that's what I was getting into when I fell in love with these fandoms. It really shocks me when I see people who are completely shocked and betrayed at losing someone in a fandom that's established itself as one that cuts characters with fair regularity.

Especially when it was the actor's choice to leave...

You know if you don't have anything in common with your sister, try finding out if there is anything you both hate (yes because that sentence made sooo much sense). I have nothing in common with my sister, but we both fear spiders and hate the other sisters messiness and hogging of the shower. Our entire ability to live with each other is based on those 3 things.

*hug*

Haha, we've wound up bonding over our mutual hate of A Christmas Story. We had to threaten our mother to keep her from turning TBS on. It's kind of amusing. ;D

Hey Chica! I know how you feel about sibling stuff. I have three older bothers and when we were kids we hated each other. I'm very close with them now, but I'm 31 and they are 35, 36 and 36 now. O_o OMG...we're old!! *runs off crying*

:P Happy Holidays!

My baby brother (or as I call him, the freakishly tall kid) and I get along a lot better now than we did when we were kids. To be honest, so do the sister and I, but still, it's awkward between us than it is with my brother.

*hugs* Happy Holidays! ;D
