How do you repel a guy without being totally rude about it? I feel like such a shrew, but this guy at the library keeps talking to me and it's driving me nuts!

RL issues:
I've never kept much of a division between my LJ and my real life. My identity is so interwined with the life I lead on the internet that trying to keep the two apart would be a headache. I know some people fiercely guard their identities in case their journals are exposed and it undermines their credibility in their everyday lives, but that never even occurred to me, and it's probably a little to worry about it now. [It'll suck if I want to run for Prime Minister in the future, lol, and something I said here torpedoes my campaign]
I considered the issue of online life affecting RL with a whole new perspective after Age columnist Catherine Deveny was fired because of some offensive and tasteless tweets she posted.
( Jeez, people, you have to be more careful! )-
Crazy Cabbie
While the public's shredding Catherine Deveny to bits for her tacky tweets, it's amazing to me that there's an equal amount of support for the taxi driver that had a 'brain snap' that resulting in him chasing a car of teens, ramming it once it blew a tire and then getting out to smash it to bits with a change dispenser and tyre lever.
Seriously, there's pages of letters in the newspaper hailing him a hero! WTF?!
( He's a frakking psycho, he should be locked up! )-
Ban the Burqua?
The main camps of opinion seem to be:
a) Do it now before someone uses the burqua to conceal a bomb and people get hurt or killed.
b) It's hardly like we have burqa-clad gangs roaming the country, whereas thugs in trackies and hoodies seem to make a weekly appearance on Crime Stoppers- should we ban those, too?
c) The burquas are better at Hungry Jack's.
*gigglesnort* Irreverent, but hee...!

Re: the Deathly Hallows movie- please check any fandom!wank at the door.
This is old news, but I was just snickering to myself about it.
( I shouldn't find this so amusing, but I do... )

Shows I just started watching.
Season 2 of True Blood. [Didn't care to sit through season 1]
Can I just say how much I love Jessica?! She's so gorgeous and adorable!
( 'To your room, please. Tru Blood.'/'You are going to be *so* sorry when I get an eating disorder!' )
Also! The award for Most Self-Aware Vampire goes to Bill Compton!
Sookie: I think, deep down, you don’t like vampires, even though you are one.
Bill: So?
Sookie: Well, hating yourself is a bad thing.
Bill: I am a vampire, I am supposed to be tormented.
LMAO, the writers were having too much fun, paying out the vampire cliche there! *gigglefit*

10 Things I Hate About You
( Snippet from 'I Want You to Want Me' )
It's so rare to have a good father/daughter bond in these shows, it's great. *squishes them*

Glee flail!
Unexpectedly, I am awash with renewed love for this show. I know I came down hard on it last week, but The Power of Madonna improved matters immensely.
( 'When I pulled my hamstring, I went to a misogynist...' )
PS. Damn picture, with its Rachel/Will vibes! Stop trying to make me ship them, universe! Your evil plot is doomed to fail! *flees*

Fill in the blank with analogies describing our relationship. (ie., 'you're the pb to my j' or 'you're the yellow to my blue')
You're the ____ to my ___.

Day 02 - A show that you wish more people were watching.
Fringe!
I am so in love with this show! It has intelligent, fascinating plots [I know, me watching for plot, ridiculous, right?! But it's true!] and charismatic, talented actors that breathe life into these wonderful, interesting, compelling characters [especially Walter, with his bizarre remarks and quirky foibles, hee].
And omg, it treats the audience like smart people, dropping little clues to allow us to develop theories about what's going on, hints about what happened to Olivia in her childhood, what happened to Peter in his childhood. They created a trail of breadcrumbs but weren't cruel and keeping us hanging for seasons on end, oh no! TPTB here think we deserve some reward for the time and emotional investment we make in the show. The last few episodes of the second season have just blown my mind, it is absolutely brilliant what they've been doing, the payoff in that resolution of the arc they built is so emotional and heart-wrenching and perfect.
And I cannot tell you how much I love Nina. The way she's her own person, this full-developed, three-dimensional character with her own agenda and motives. So many times, we get cardboard cut-outs as the plot dictates [someone for the protagonist to clash with, someone to provide them with assistance, blah blah blah], bland paper-dolls that prop up the storyline but not Nina! You could take away Olivia and the others and she would still exist in her own world, complete with a history and goals in life separate from providing a foil for the main characters, it's awesome.
