litoteaseHousehold conversation between me and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
c8h10n4o2junkie:
Me: ::Looking at what's open on the browser:: Your reading my from del.icio.us page!
Her: Yeah. You have good taste*. And I haven't read some of these.
Me: Thanks! Do you like the Jess warnings?
Her: There are warnings?
Me: Only on a few of them. Big capital letters at the beginning of the notes. JESS, WARNING.
Her: Oh my God, I love you.
Because she, you see, doesn't want to read any story, in any fandom, in which her OTP doesn't live happily ever after, thank you very much, no matter how poignant and human and well-written it may be. I knew she'd get to my del.icio.us eventually, so making sure that the sad slash stories are marked there is me taking care of her as her mother.
*facepalm* We are so weird.
*Her. Actual. Words. I don't get that very often. Usually, what I get is, "You're not going to wear that are you?"

Date: 2008-01-07 11:05 pm (UTC)I always feel so bad for fans who feel they have to actively hide this part of themselves from their families. Or any part of their sexual identity.
Oh no you don't!
Date: 2008-02-21 01:22 pm (UTC)You hear "Oh my god I love you" waaaay more than you hear "You're not going to wear that are you?" You get me coffee, wonderful wonderful coffee, and fix it just right and when you have time you even set up the pot to brew so when I wake up I just have to hit 'on' AND you go to the store for creamer at 5am so I'll can have coffee the instant I wake up -- you definitely hear "oh my god I love you" then! And you get me food. And you let me sleep on the couch for a whole week in a row without complaining even though it's a pain in the booty because our schedules are opposite and I'm totally in your way.
Besides, not only am I no longer 16, but also I have (mostly) effectively helped to get your wardrobe to the point where it accurately reflects your hotassness and no longer needs my guidance. Well, still on the rare occasion I do still utter those words (and by utter, I mean loudly protest, you understand) but I never claimed you never hear it.
But it's nice to know what comes to mind when you think of me, bitch. =)
I love you!
