Wonderfalls

I *love* Jay's dad on Wonderfalls. (That's her name, right? I feel so stupid). He's jsut... such a dad. Devoted to his family, a good man to the core, not a stupid stereotype of "masculinity", not full of meaningless platitudes, and he's *not* resentful when he has to bend his principals for family. Like he tells her in the 5th episode, "Family is my first principal" (or however he said it).

He's what Jonathan Kent should be. A really good man.

It's funny how protective I get of my characters in COTW. First, I was defensive of Clark when the one feedbacker said he was being unreasonable to Lex in the last fic, and now I'm super-protective of Lana who was just called whiny, perfect, and annoying. *sigh* She's a little whiny, but no moreso than, say, *LEX* and *CLARK* and the last time I checked, she wasn't pefect.

*cuddles Lana protectively*

I need serious help. (Not that I don't feel the person who wrote the feedback isn't entitled to her feelings, etc., but this is *my* baby she's talking about in some ways, and I just get... protective. Do others feel like this? Like, try to "fix" a character naturally in a fic only to have people react to that character as if they're no different from on the show and then get protective of them? Anyone? Buller?)

In other news, my fic got mentioned today over a ship_manifesto. And that's all I need to have a happy day. :P

Poem query

Does anyone know either how wrote this poem or how I might find out who did?

people so seldom say
i love you and then
it's either too late
or loves goes, so when i tell
you i love you, it
doesn't mean i know
you'll never go, only
that i wish you didn't have to

Damn

I'm *so* glad I didn't buy Incubus Dreams. I got frustrated by all the inturruptions (for sex) from just the summary.

It's like, every ten pages, if Anita doesn't either a. fuck a brand new person or b. fuck people she's fucked before in a new combination, she'll die.

Oh. If only she would.

I'm a heffalump!

Why is it called a heffalump? I mean, what's the connection between a heffalump and an elephant besides syllables? There's a clear connection between weasles and woozles. But heffalump?

I'M A HEFFALUMP!!!!!!!!!!

Why did they cancel Wonderfalls? It's such a *good* show. Right up there with House. Just think, with Wonderfalls and House and the OC, Fox could have some good shows.
