Is this an insane asylum and someone forgot to tell me?

[lls_mutant]

Hey guys-

Guess what? Except for snorkackcatcher, a_t_rain, poolman, rinelk, and theregoesyamum, most of the rest of us have mental problems! My f-list is insane! Insane, I tell you! Any of you all shrinks?

I already reported it, just because it's a flame war begging to happen and all that. But Toby just finished an hour long crying spree because the poor little guy was majorly congested (I've never been so glad to see spit-up in my life), and I'm feeling bitchy.

And curses on Girl Scouts. Must they come selling me cookies? Especially when they're the two girls that live next door? Not only are they nice girls (REALLY nice girls), they're Harry Potter fanatics to boot. And I used to be a Girl Scout.

Unfortunately, Girl Scout cookies have calories. :P Stupid cookies.

must...not...flame...uh...
this is really hard *scratches head* I have to do something! must...kill...

[lls-mutant.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I do understand that people believe homosexuality is wrong. As long as they just believe that and leave people alone, hey, I'll accept that. And I am TOTALLY fine with people who believe Lupin is straight. (Especially since one of those people is JKR.) But to say people have "mental problems" for thinking he's gay.... ::shakes head::

[lady-nimua.livejournal.com]

I have absolutely no patience for narrow minded people.
I'M NOT MENTAL, YOU ARE YOU BITCH. yes, and she's just looking for trouble going to that thread and saying she is 'anti gay and anti lesbian' well good for you for being a stupid bitch, have a cookie, NO ONE CARES.

I know that I have mental problems, all right, just not mental problems that have anything to do with the sexuality of fictional characters.

*uses R/S icon, just for fun*

Also, I have the perfect way to justify buying (and eating!) Girl Scout cookies: just remind yourself, as your devour box after box, that you would be a much, much more terrible person if you were eating actual Girl Scouts.


Right. Like I said. Mental problems.

I'm as big a Remus fan as the next person, but where is it even explicitly stated that Remus looks anything other than sick and tired? *facepalm*

[a-t-rain.livejournal.com]

:: slaps forehead :: Oy, I think I need a "Get off of my side, you're making us look stupid" icon.

[lls-mutant.livejournal.com]

Yes! Batshit R/T for a change! :)

Hey, why should we get all the crazies? :)

[lls-mutant.livejournal.com]

Excellent point, but Girl Scouts have far more calories, so I'd eat the cookies anyway. Self-serving, you know :)

And there's so many ways that could just go wrong.

[lls-mutant.livejournal.com]

In 9 out of 10 fanfics written about Remus Lupin, I suppose? And since when can't cute guys be gay? (Thus the phrase "all the good ones are taken or gay"?) People alternately scare and amuse me.

[instantramen]

Possibly even nine and a half, with the half being fanfics where he WAS hot stuff before he went and scratched his face up somehow.

If I weren't playing Sudoku right now I'd be worried about my brain cell count going down just from observing people like that.

[medicinal-mirth.livejournal.com]

I don't actually mind being accused of mental problems. It would probably bother me only if I did have mental problems. :P

What bothers me is someone thinking there's no way a character could possibly be gay just because he/she is anti-gay. That would be a lot like standing in front of a gay bar and telling the first person who came out -- no pun intended -- "I don't like gay people, so you're not gay." So, wait a minute -- who's supposed to have the mental problems?

[thistlerose.livejournal.com]

*snort*

I'm sort of amused that she's "making new friends on the train" according to her info thingy. Because...she's really not.

[sasha-davidovna.livejournal.com]

Mental problems. ~mutters~

That whole thread is pretty wanky, but wow. She does take the cake. Time to go crack out the popcorn. ;)

[momebie.livejournal.com]

I am most definitely used to being called crazy. ;)

And I have the hardest time with girlscouts. I was a girlscout until I was about 13. I was even one of those over achiever ones that sold the most cookies and got the prizes. But on the flip side, when I sold them they weren't $3.50. :p I was also living at home and could afford them. Hehe.

[thistlerose.livejournal.com]

Also, according to her, he's what you would call "hot" and "cute" so he obviously can't be gay.

Because of course there are no hot gay people.

*rolls eyes*

[lls-mutant.livejournal.com]

Don't forget Sir Ian McKellen, who is REALLY hot for an old guy. (And the arm candy the guy brings to Oscar ceremonies. Wow.)

[lls-mutant.livejournal.com]

I noticed that too. It's nice to have a little irony in the day.

[thistlerose.livejournal.com]

Ah! I forgot about him.

Actually, I was having trouble finding women. Anne and Portia were the only ones I could think of off the top of my head.

[lls-mutant.livejournal.com]

GREAT icon!

Yeah, the whole thread is just... ::sigh:: been there done that. But I just get amused at how stupid some people can be.

[lls-mutant.livejournal.com]

I was a GS too, which is another reason I feel obligated to buy the cookies.

The problem is, Girl Scout cookies taste even BETTER frozen. So there goes that diet technique!

[medicinal-mirth.livejournal.com]

Oh, nice pictures! I had no idea that Chad Allen was gay.

Because of course there are no hot gay people.

Ah! Of course! And by the same reasoning, there aren't any ugly straight people either. (I'd put up a picture too, but then someone would of course disagree with my definition of ugly. :P)

[lls-mutant.livejournal.com]

Jodie Foster. (Much to my husband's dismay.) The only other one I can think of at this hour is Melissa Ethridge, but I've never really considered her traditionally hot.

[thistlerose.livejournal.com]

Jodie's gay? I was never sure. I remember her denying it - did she ever come out of the closet?

[cryingyofaceout.livejournal.com]

She's not an R/T shipper, is she? The ship she seems to like the most is Draco/Hermione, and I never see her mention R/T.

[gunderpants.livejournal.com]

Come on, how was I not supposed to respond to that? That's what happens when you don't smack your kids when they're being dumbasses: their dumbassery grows into some kind of disease that takes over their whole person. They'll then think they have the right to be assholes for the rest of their lives.

[maglors-finch.livejournal.com]

Hah! I'm mental without even being on your friendslist. How's that?

[aome.livejournal.com]

Buy the cookies and donate them somewhere - give them to Howard to share at work, take them to a Senior Center, give as a present to your hairdresser, something. That way you can support the cause and not eat the calories.

*enjoys her mental problems* :-P

[pfrsue.livejournal.com]

Heh, I don't even write for this fandom and I'm pegged as insane by someone who calls themself MALFOY?

That does it. Me and all of my multiple personalities are going to go stage a protest now. ;)

[lls-mutant.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think she did. Howard was rather disappointed, until he was reminded that it wasn't like he had a chance with her anyway :) (Although I've always been proud she was one of his top drool fixations. She IS gorgeous, but not stereotypically, and she comes off at least as VERY intelligent.)

[lls-mutant.livejournal.com]

Oh. Damn. That's too bad. (Especially since I don't understand the attraction of Draco/Hermione personally :P)

[lls-mutant.livejournal.com]

I was having a fit of maturity the other night, so I just reported it. :P The constant stupidity of members of the human race just amazes me.

[snorkackcatcher]

Join the Cult of Sane, baby. All the cool kids are doing it. :D

[lls-mutant.livejournal.com]

Magic! After all, it is the HP universe! :)

[lls-mutant.livejournal.com]

I should. What I should really do is find a senior citizen's center or something (where the people are still active) and buy cookies for them. What I used to do any time I got caught in the mall was I gave the girls the money and said the next time a family with kids came by to buy cookies, they got a box from me. That's harder to do when they're at the door.

Of course, I've already opened the box of said cookies :) but still.

[lls-mutant.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I never said the source was all that reliable or sane herself! :)

[lls-mutant.livejournal.com]

NEVER! :) Even if JKR IS a member. If I didn't have the voices in my head, who would I talk to all day????

[lykophile.livejournal.com]

Personally, I think Sheryl Swoopes is pretty hot. And Amy Ray. And let's not forget that Angelina Jolie has admitted to being bi.

[topaz7.livejournal.com]

Ugh. What a twit. I just wish the ignorant people didn't have to be so proud of it!

[pinkfinity.livejournal.com]

I'm not *suggesting* anyone send her screencaps of the snog scenes between David and Leo from Total Eclipse, no I am not.

[sasha-davidovna.livejournal.com]

Must. Resist. Temptation.

:D

[rinelk.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...not sure how I feel about this whole Jodie-Foster-being-gay thing. On the one hand, she is not only high on the list, she IS the list of actresses who come to mind when I think of hot. Not saying there aren't any others who should qualify, but once I start thinking about Jodie Foster I tend to lose sight of making lists. So I feel Howard's pain.

On the other hand, I have the impression that a sudden conversion to bisexuality when exposed to my presence is no more far-fetched than wanting me in the first place, and more fun. So I think I'd make the same argument you did to Howard, but take it the other direction. Rather than emphasizing the impossibility of the dream, I'm more inclined to emphasize the improved goodness of the (impossible) dream.

I suspect this is part of the reason I tend to be such a happy guy.

The good news with the cookies is that, at least for the clearly superior caramel de-lites (or samoas, or whatever they're calling them this year), a box seems to include fewer cookies each year. I sometimes wonder, once they've taken that trend to the logical extreme of a single cookie, whether they'll begin increasing the size of the box each year in order to keep the cookie-to-space ratio on its downward trend. :-)

[thistlerose.livejournal.com]

THAT was her name! I was trying to remember last night, and I don't follow sports, so...yeah.

She's totally hot.

[thistlerose.livejournal.com]

I didn't either until some crazies made a stink about him playing the straight son of a missionary in The End of the Spear or whatever it was called.

*facepalm*
