marguerite_kruxSpeaking of that, though, is it true that you can fatally overdose on Panadol?
This kid at- for a change, neither my old high school nor my mother's school [between us, we've had six attempts in the past year, that I know of]- my aunt's school was hospitalized after she swallowed a heckload of Panadol. This naturally became dinner conversation, and Bec suggested that it was just a cry for attention, that if she'd really wanted to kill herself, it wouldn't be with that, but I'm pretty sure an old acquaintance of mine, doing nursing, said that you really could kill yourself through Panadol overdose. I think. And this girl back in my high school days was taken to the nurse and then to counselling after she started gulping them down like candy.
Mother and Ma were discussing the old Samoan method of choice- weed killer. Mmm. Not. I just watched Juno and felt sickened at the sight of her downing a liter or more of orange juice, so the idea of weed killer...ugh. But apparently they don't sell that brand of weed killer here anyway, so it's a moot point. I don't think kids these days would put themselves out that much, though- either they go for the pills, or they go for the dramatic method of driving into oncoming traffic. Yah. Still not understood that.

Health.
I'm determined not to be a hypochondriac, therefore I will not flail over the potentially life-threatening skin disease I've come down with, but calmly mention in a casual aside this oh-so-inconvenient rash I've developed on my finger tips. It's quite disgusting-
My skin's peeling off- not like, the little flakes you get from not moisturizing enough [and hey, I'm a moisturizing freak, I hit that Olay bottle each time after I've washed my hands, and a dozen times besides that] but the whole tip of three of my fingers on my left hand have been de-skinned, one after the other. I had to wear bandaids, it squicked me out so much. Don't worry, the skin re-grew but god, I was worried I was turning into a living zombie [ha, oxymoron, no?] except I haven't developed a taste for brains. Yet.
In addition to what I'm attempting not to think of as some strain of leprosy, I've had a blast from the past with a few of these little- skin bubbles. I don't know what to call them. They're not pussy- gross!- just clear little bubbles filled with some sort of clear watery substance. I had them a lot when I was a kid, the doctor suggested they were caused by, get this, chocolate. I hated his guts. My parents put me on a strict chocolate diet, any hint of swelling and they'd institute a chocolate ban.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not some walking disease carrier. Like I said, the skin-peeling was only happening on a finger at a time on the left hand, and I wasn't overwhelmed with the bubbles, they're teeny little things and only a few of them developed, but yeah. I don't know what message my body's trying to send me. If it's cut down on chocolate consumption, though, it can go to hell. I refuse to heed that quack's dubious medical advice, all right? This was over a decade ago in Fiji, FFS, what did he know, right?
I don't mean to be disparaging, but it's either mock his diagnosis or give up chocolate. Hmm. Tough call, that. Look, if I had to go on a life-long chocolate ban [or god forfend, eat it in moderation] or di young...well, I'd choose to die happy. I eat at least two family size bars of Cadbury a week, I'm not giving that up.

Is anyone having trouble with Photobucket? I had the most miserable time last week, I came into uni early on Thursday and Friday to try and upload my photos, and the frakking site refused to co-operate. Each time I tried to upload a photo, it'd inform me that the process was complete, despite the glaring absence of the bloody photo. Then when I protested, it would simply freeze ominously- and shut down. Niiice. Real mature. I registered a new account and tried again, but the same non-result. *bashes head against wall repeatedly* WHY?
So I found a new site- snapfish, which I keep reading as snapEfish, lol, um, no, I don't have Snape on the brain, not at aaaalll- and finally managed to upload my photos. I then triumphantly made my way over here to LJ to post about my awesome convention experience- except WHAT DO YOU KNOW? IT WON'T LET ME. *breaks down into tears* You know how when you overload it with photos, it gives you that nasty error message about having a too-large post, indicating you need to delete some crap to make room? LJ did that to me, over and over and over, even though my post wasn't as large as some of my previous picspams, even though I kept deleting more and more photos til all I had was TEXT and it STILL REFUSED ME.
Why is the world against me? *woes*
I was already having the most irritating day possible and then I got a message from Katherine saying she had to cancel our weekend sleepover. Last week she told me that she had this whole week available to me, except she kept putting it off later and later til it was the weekend- and then at the last minute, she decides to go in to work. So. Yeah. I was feeling quite crappy.
But then! The silver lining in the cloud! I drag my sorry ass over to my grandmother's place for some TLC and lo! A shiny package in the mail! I check her mail for her as I head on in, and usually it's just junk ads or bills and such, but on Friday, the day I most desperately needed something to cheer me up? My season 1 Castle dvds from the amazing carolune04 arrived. I cannot tell you how ecstatic I was feeling, my mood swung dramatically from 'I want to step in front of a car and let all my worries get smushed into nothing' to 'zomg, the awesomeness! This calls for a marathon and lots of junk food, whee!' *snuggles carolune* Thank you, sweetie! Saying you made my day? Total understatement. You redeemed what was otherwise a terrible waste of oxygen and made it worth getting out of bed at all. ;D

Season 2 of Merlin makes me sad.
Because of this.

I won’t begrudge other shippers their joy at having their pairing made canon- if I can’t be happy, at least someone else is. [Not like the epic fail of SGA which shot down two main ships and made nobody happy, except for Keller!obsessives]
I had a dream that the dvd for the entire season was already out here in Australia [lol, considering it takes months, if not years for a dvd to come out round here] and I was tempted to buy it but then I remembered that it went from the promising multi-shipping aspect of the amazing season 1, which catered to Morgana/Arthur [original!ship], Morgana/Merlin, Morgana/Gwen AND Morgana/Uther [guilty!ship], as well as a gazillion other permutations, to the new and historically-approved Arthur/Gwen. *criz into pillow*
I cannot bring myself to watch it and see the new direction without feeling bitter at what I’ve lost, you know? I’ll pretend it ended at season 1 and just relive the earlier glory. *nodnod*

Date: 2009-10-26 01:24 am (UTC)OMG, I hate when a pairing you're not into goes canon. Firstly, the people who are who you dont like will never shut up about it. Secondly, it ruins all your happy fantasies and fic writing opportunities. Third, TV show writers should know by now that the way to go is to make everyone have chemistry with everyone. Nothing like a shipper's all you can eat buffet to send the ratings through the roof. Even if there are some ships on some shows I find patently unbelievable, like JJ/Emily, I'm happy those shippers get their moments just as much as I get mine.
You need to be around more......I miss you like woah *tacklehugs*
(no subject)
Date: 2009-10-29 11:57 pm (UTC)And d'aww, you always know just how to bring on the warm 'n fuzzies. *hugglesquish* I don't disappear on purpose just to make people notice I'm gone, but it is nice to know that you do notice, y'know?
And omg, dude, with that dermatologist remark? You just made me realize what an enormous idiot I am- that reminded me of the Roaccutane I'm on; I think the flakiness was due to these acne pills I'm taking. It has certain side-effects, like oh, cracked lips, sensitivity to sunlight, nose bleeds....and totally insignificantly, dry skin. *facepalm*
Can't believe I didn't put the pieces together earlier. It's just I have naturally dry hands and I'm always moisturizing so I never had the pills affect my fingers before, but I think I'm just having a larger reaction than normal for some reason. Probably to offset the fact I haven't had a nose bleed in ages, can't let me get too complacent, right?
But gah! Talk about hearing hoof-beats and thinking zebras rather than horses, lol. Jumping straight to the gruesome, life-threatening conditions without considering the mundane, probable reason...*sighs* Yep, just like the time I was convinced someone had snuck into my room and pinched my tracksuit pants because I couldn't find them after half an hour of fruitless searching- only to realize I was WEARING THEM. *headdesk*
I hate when a pairing you're not into goes canon
*nodnod* It hurts. It feels like a slap in the face considering that the writers emphasized that ship in the first season and then promptly did an about-face and suddenly kowtowed to the legends after deviating so much from established canon- I mean, making Guinevere a black maidservant? I don't recall that one...
I feel for the JJ/Reid people, that pairing wasn't one I shipped, but they were cute and I wouldn't have minded- but writing JJ pregnant and having her marry Will? Wow, that really torpedoed the ship. It's funny how many CM summaries I've read where Will mysteriously dies or becomes abusive and is thus written out of the picture, allowing the partner-of-choice to console JJ and be there as a shoulder to lean on in her time of need, naturally leading to romance. *g*
Nothing like a shipper's all you can eat buffet to send the ratings through the roof. Even if there are some ships on some shows I find patently unbelievable, like JJ/Emily, I'm happy those shippers get their moments just as much as I get mine.
I hold CM up as a shining example of making every camp happy. Okay, the show gives a lot more screen-time to Hotch/Rossi rather than our ship, but at least they try to give a little something to everyone.
JJ/Emily? I don't find that any more implausible than several other ships on the show- most of the slash ships seem implausible to me, but especially the Hotch ones. Call me naive, but if the dude's had a wife and kid, been married for how many years, I'm pretty sure he's straight but that could be me being narrow-minded. *shrugs* Rossi's always been a playa, several ex-wives, I'm not buying him with any other dude on the show, either.
^_^ *feels light-hearted and bouncy* ♥

Date: 2009-10-30 12:16 am (UTC)Mundane explanations definitely beat the worse case death scenarios, which I have plenty of cuz I'm a hypochondriac. I found out recently that I am even a hypochondriac when it comes to my cat. I am surely not ready to be a mother as every sneeze would send me running to the nearest ER. Use more moisturizer and let me know how it goes.
The vast amount of CM icons I have is a little ridiculous, and I want more. If I could have all 110 to fit a mood or situation and be CM, I would. I am prud of the 30something I have that arent CM, though the CM ones are cooler.
I know you're not gone cuz you wanna be....when are you getting laptop privileges back? How is uni going? Did you think about changing your major? I still say you would be a hell of a communications or mass media majot, if they have something like that. Your social commentary is witty as hell......the world needs to be exposed to your genius. People get paid six figures and they arent half as witty or observant as you. The world needs more of you.
I need more screentime on my ship like woah. Season 5 has been good to me but more would never ever hurt. I write fic to fill in the blanks.
*snuggles*
(no subject)
Date: 2009-10-30 01:03 am (UTC)And besides, 'ships are in the eye of the beholder', that's my belief. Something might be utterly blatant and undeniable to one person and completely incomprehensible to another. I've never understood shipper wars, it seems pointless and a waste of energy that could be spent enthusing over the couple you love.
'k, personally, I hated Jordan- I'm watching her eps with Netty right now and she started off so cool and then just dipped steadily in my estimation. I couldn't help comparing her to Emily- people weren't super friendly to her when she arrived, they were still in shock over the whole Elle debacle and pretty aloof with her, but she dug in her heels and was determined to prove her worth and assimilate into the team. Jordan? Everybody's bending over backwards to accommodate her and she just snipes and snarls at everyone- I wanted to smack her so hard when she snapped at Emily, who was just trying to be friendly and welcoming. *glares at the ungrateful wretch*
That said, dude, the ep with Viper? Sooo much tension between them two. I don't need to ship it to see it. *nodnod* But I do prefer JJ- she may be bland, but I like her calmness, she's got this lovely tranquil air about her.
Hotch/JJ! Talk about making mountains out of mole-hills, I don't get that one at all, but more power to them for sticking to their guns, despite the show giving barely anything to support that pairing!
Lol, I didn't realize hypochondria related to other people and even other species as well! You're a special case, you are. ;D I hear you on not being ready for kids, but for totally different reasons. They're so- messy and icky. I see mothers wiping their kids' snot off their faces and cleaning up after them when they're eating and that's not even counting the grossness of nappy-changing when they're still infants. *shudders* Yet people insist on telling me that someday, I'll change my mind and yearn to bear spawn. *eyeroll*
You are dedicated to your CM! My userpics change to reflect whatever's curerntly occupying the largest portion of my heart- namely Hermione and Snape atm. I'm currently struggling with uploading selections from this Emma Watson moodtheme and it's taking me bloody forever since photobucket won't co-operate STILL and I'm having to go through image shack. Hmm.
My laptop privileges are- fluid. Since we moved house and don't have as much cupboard space, my laptop's been sitting in my room- I don't know what the official policy is, but I'm making use of the shiny lock on my door and using my laptop every evening, closing it quickly if mama wants to come in. I love the hibernation function, makes it so much easier, heh.
But the thing is, I can't access the internet on my laptop, I have to come to uni, which is why sometimes I miss a few days because I'm busy with other stuff and don't get time to catch the bus over here. I have two online classes over trimester three, so hopefully I'll be in more often and get to spend more time chatting with people. *squishes*
*g* You are so sweet, what an ego boost that is. ^_^ Your words always make me feel good about myself, like I've contributed something worthwhile. I do so love you. *clings*
I need more screentime on my ship like woah. Season 5 has been good to me but more would never ever hurt.
Right on. S5 has given more than I'd hoped for, but it's still a far cry from what I'd like. I'm getting greedy, lol. I think it's because writers openly support my ships in other shows like Mentalist and Castle, so I get a little disappointed when it comes to CM and they're sooo stingy! I get happy just seeing Em and Hotch standing together in the same scene, that's how desperate I am, lol. They are such a stunningly attractive couple, them two. Oh, my heart...

Date: 2009-10-30 03:23 am (UTC)I dont mind diapers and such, its snot and spit that gets me but I like kids a lot. I just know I get so paranoid and if my kid ever got sick I know I would lose it. So motherhood wont be right for me until I get a little better with things like that.
I loved Jordan, I just didnt like the writers' treatment of her. She went from badass and smartass to punkass in like 3 episodes. But there was major chemistry between her and Emily....I have been tempted to explore it recently. I am all about shipping Emily with people and playing off that. I already did Hotch, Gideon, and Morgan, now here comes Jordan. Nah, I'm not offended by the Rossi thing, I never thought I would write slash in this fandom but Hotch and Rossi are right there, it practically writes itself. I dont get the Hotch/Reid people and even though I see lots of Hotch/Morgan bromance, I dont see them being in a relationship. Mostly I just see that for Hotch/Prentiss but I have such fun exploring, its the beauty of fanfiction. I dont know if you know but I have my own writing comm now where I house all my CM fic,
I boost you up because you are made of win. I love your outlook on life, even when you're down you're never out and of course as I said, your commentary lays me.....I look forward to every post, even if I dont watch half the shows you're talking about.
I used to have majority West Wing icons because that was my show. Then when I joined the CM fandom last summer, I had been watching since Season 1, I wanted more icons to reflect that. I wish LJ would give us like 200 so I wouldnt have to delete some when I get into something else. Losing them is like trying to pick which pair of shoes to keep or which jeans to buy.......its soooooooo hard.
Fluid laptop use FTW!!!!!! And yay to being at uni more next trimester since you dont have internet at home....Hope that gets fixed soon.

Well (not to give you ideas) it is as easy as deciding to die. You make the choice to stop living and can off yourself in any number of ways. HOWEVER that said, suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Even I've thought about suicide, but there's just no way I could do that to my 'rents, nieces or nephews as well as my friends. I'm just saying. Not that I think you'd really do that.

Date: 2009-10-30 12:31 am (UTC)I know, me too...*pouts* I felt a little disloyal, but when Joe was talking about SGA and how it sucked that it got canceled with that cliffhanger of an ending and how it deserved to get wrapped up properly, well, I agreed in the sense that I felt for him and thought it was unfair that his show got screwed over, so on his behalf, I was moved, but personally? I couldn't care less about the fate of the show. I felt it was as good as over after Weir was written out in that crappy, disrespectful manner. She'll always be the true leader of Atlantis to me. *nodnod*

Date: 2009-10-30 12:38 am (UTC)started with Weir, then Carson and I kept wondering who would get the axe next.
It was not 'broke'. It was fine from the time Rising hit the little screen so they
should have left it alone.......If they wanted more depth and darker fine, but you don't trash something because it could use some rework.
I also thought they had run the Wraith and Replicator theme into the ground.
Surely in a galaxy size of Pegasus there was something more malevolent

Date: 2009-10-26 07:35 am (UTC)I've been thinking about why LJ keeps stopping you from posting, I have an idea about that, can you try going through the code and check and see if there's any errors in it? It's a long shot, but I don't know why else it wouldn't be working..
(no subject)
Date: 2009-10-28 12:11 am (UTC)Seriously, LJ is super hormonal this month or something, it's so damn moody, gah! I tried to edit and add just a few extra lines and that got rejected for making the post too large! So I was just like, 'oookay, stepping back sloooowly, no sudden movements, please don't crap up again, nice LJ, very nice LJ...'
It wasn't anything to do with the code, though. I just did exactly what I did last week, except I did Joe and Chris' section first- and when that worked, I edited the entry and added Paul and Jason's. I tried this approach last week and it didn't work then, but apparently I caught LJ in a good mood. *eyeroll* Relatively speaking, anyhow.
Okay, re: my zombie!fication. Not happening, bb, I swear! Trust me, the minute I get the slightest inkling I'm hankering for human flesh, I will race off to the nearest hospital, but it's really not that bad. I'm overdoing the Olay and it seems to be reducing the peeling, about damn time, too. *sniffs*
(no subject)
Date: 2009-10-26 09:04 am (UTC)Yay, glad to see you're back! Even if yucky things are happening to your body. Dude, the Panadol overdose thing? A friend of mine was a total drama queen in high school and one night at a party (read between the lines: attention seeking) she swallowed a bunch of Panadol in an effort to "kill herself". Now, if it was me and I was really serious about killing myself, I'd choose something slightly more hardcore than Panadol, but whatever floats your boat. Anyway, long story short, she got rushed to the hospital and they had to forcefeed her liquified (am I spelling that right? Probably not) CHARCOAL. Freaking CHARCOAL MILKSHAKE. Disturbing. Moral of the story? Don't overdose on anything because they feed you charcoal.
Eeek about your hands! What's up with that? That's just wrong and nasty! Did it hurt? It seemsl ike it would hurt. And no way can chocolate cause little skin bubbles. Chocolate is a beautiful, pure, wonderful thing that God (or Satan) has gifted us, and that doctor should not have taken its name in vain. *worships chocolate* I'm seriously addicted to Freckles at the moment.
(no subject)
Date: 2009-10-29 11:41 pm (UTC)Yeah, see, in the case of the girl I knew at high school? Totally attention-seeking. To be fair, she did have reason. Abusive father, toxic home life, one skeeze-ball boyfriend after another. Blech. Girl at my aunt's school? Well, who knows what her deal was.
Now, if it was me and I was really serious about killing myself, I'd choose something slightly more hardcore than Panadol
But that's the thing- an old acquaintance of mine tried to off herself by overdosing on sleeping pills, a standard favorite in crime novels everywhere, but that still wasn't enough to do her in. The average person doesn't have access to something like sleeping pills, let alone more hardcore drugs that stand a good chance of fulfilling their wishes. Where the hell would I find something guaranteed to kill myself, anyway? I don't do drugs, so it's not like I have connections to any dealers or nothing. Conundrum, indeed.
And holy crap, CHARCOAL MILKSHAKE?
Yes, that deserved to be repeated in capslock. Gross, much?
[And I'm pretty sure it's actually 'liquefied'...]
*pouts* I need to emphasize that I don't actually resemble a hideous, grotesque monster of any sort. I am capable of passing among ordinary mortals without shrieks of horror and disgust...my hands are actually a lot better now. It's been messed up for a few weeks and then the week I finally give in and post an entry whingeing, it starts clearing up! The flakiness has stopped advancing on my right hand, it's just the left and even that's beginning to resemble normal skin again on most fingers. [I kinda felt a bit like Dumbledore there for a bit, with his cursed withered hand, y'know?]
And no way can chocolate cause little skin bubbles. Chocolate is a beautiful, pure, wonderful thing that God (or Satan) has gifted us, and that doctor should not have taken its name in vain.
*high fives* Sing it, sister. Nasty doctor should'a kept his fool mouth shut.
Lol, I'm part of the whole school of 'thou shalt worship nothing before chocolate, the beginning, the end and everything in between'. *nodnod* It makes life worth living, I tell ya. A million kisses to whoever invented it!
I'm slightly ashamed of myself that I needed to google Freckles to work out what you were talking about. *facepalm* Yeah, I'm more a Cadbury family-block girl myself, but each to her own. ;P

Date: 2009-10-26 01:34 pm (UTC)I'm good about pairings other than mine being canon, unless I hate one of the characters from the canon pairing, that's the only thing that makes me hate a pairing, not not having mine being canon. As long as I like both characters involved I won't care if I don't get my ship.

Mmm, well, that's a good attitude to have, one I can't mirror unfortunately. I don't HATE Arthur/Gwen [not with the all-consuming vituperative force with which I hated, say, Chakotay/Seven *head!splodes*] but it does mean I can't watch the show anymore. Not right now, anyway. Arthur/Morgana wasn't one of my fiercest shipped couples, although I loved them dearly, so maybe later I can go back to Merlin, but right now- it'd be more 'a chore than a prospect for having fun', as you said re: TBBT. Just don't have the mindset to appreciate it atm.

My eyes got swollen and I couldn't breathe.
It could also be latex gloves, but I'm inclined to think it's the soap. Have you noticed a rash?
We all have our reasons, for instance, the one thing that can get me to stop watching a t.v show is my favorite character being treated badly by the writers, or as with SGA, written out. I may love a t.v show to death but if my favorite character is gone I don't care, I will drop it.
Oh, TBBT is an example of my fav being treated badly, Sheldon just didn't feel like himself anymore, I saw him and it was like a pod person, same body and face but a completely different personality.
If you don't enjoy it anymore, if the one aspect that made the show interesting for you is gone then why should you keep watching? It's supposed to entertain you and it doesn't anymore, you don't owe them any loyalty.

Date: 2009-11-01 11:03 pm (UTC)It's almost amusing how often her hairstyle changes in the first season- in fact, there's a pretty drastic change just from the pilot to the next ep, I believe. She does the Elizabeth thing, lol, from almost dead-straight hair to slightly wavy and then it's anyone's guess from there. I'm trying to work out whether it's something that her character does- although personally, I'm not convinced she's all that girly about it- or just, you know, the stylist people wanting to change it up.
[I shouldn't tell you this, because I may never actually do it and then I'll feel ashamed when I talk to you because I totally fail- but I'm challenging myself to write out that little snippet I threw out as a joke a while back, about the time Jane snapped a photo of Lisbon for his phone. And I'm paralyzing myself by fixating on this one teensy detail about her hair. So. Yeah.]
Dude, I've been such an idiot- I think it's the pills I'm taking for my acne [not that it's that bad anymore, seriously, check out my convention pics if you don't believe me] which make my skin sensitive- yeah, you'd THINK that'd be the FIRST option that leaps to mind, wouldn't you, but it's only ever manifested as cracked lips and nose-bleeds, so I didn't immediately connect it with my hands. Damn pills are so toxic, I tell you. I haven't had a nose-bleed in ages, so it finds a new outlet to announce its presence in my body. Gee, thanks. *eyeroll*
That's sucky about TBBT. *huggles* I think that's probably the worst case scenario- it hurt when Elizabeth was ditched, but at least that meant I could drop SGA with a sense of relief. But when your fave is still around and they're pulling weird crap with them, that's way worse. That's where I am with Merlin- I love Morgana, she's so cool and fierce, but I hate the direction they're taking her in.
It's supposed to entertain you and it doesn't anymore, you don't owe them any loyalty.
Y'know- I hadn't quite thought of it that way? So, thank you. A lot. Because I was thinking 'I love Morgana, but I'm not watching the show anymore, I'm a terrible fangirl' and now I'm recasting that as 'the writers suck, they're not treating her right the way I think she deserves, so it's their fault, not mine'. *nodnod* It's not disloyalty when they break faith with the fans first. Okay, then. *deep breath*

Date: 2009-10-27 05:44 am (UTC)MERLIN. O.M.G. I'm a shipper slut, and also, freaking OLD ass legend, we know how it's supposed to go so not so much disappointment in my camp. That being said, OMG!WTF?! all that Arthur/Morgana build up in series one and then BAM! abandoned with in the first five eps of s2??? Seriously, WTF? I hate that they sacrificed character/relationship moments of EVERYBODY for actiony effects. That. Sucks. Ass. *sigh* But I'm good at living in denial.

I knew how the legend went but all of season 1 was geared towards Arthur/Morgana! At least as far as het went, because everyone knows the show's pimping Arthur/Merlin for all its worth, lol, what with the Slash Dragon nattering on about their intertwined destinies and two sides of the same coin and so on.
I figured the show was disregarding historical canon, given how far it'd already deviated from the accepted path, or that they'd keep merrily multi-shipping everyone instead of delineating the main ship so soon. I wanted them to keep juggling all those balls instead of dropping so many by the wayside this early in the game. *sighs*

WORD. *snuggles* And btw? I am an official citizen of denial!land. Where all my dreams continue to flourish and expand. *nodnod*

*iz giddy* Indeedy-do! I've started on s2! *bounces* Love love love! At least with this and Mentalist, I know the writers are on the same page as me as far as main ships go!
