Several things I've been thinking about.

1. Thanks so much to spock74! I really appreciate the vgift, it just made my day! You just gotta love hugging teddie bears. : )

2a. Is a civil war in the SGA fandom inevitable? I mean, I still consider myself a n00b in the tortuous (GRE vocab) ways of fandom. I've been around Stargate for a little over a year and a half. Before that I flirted with Star Wars RotS but didn't really get involved in online politics. I'm just fascinated by all the goings on since we found out Sam was moving over to SGA. I'm pretty much a live and let live gal, but I'm just wondering if f-lists will be torn asunder over whether a person likes or dislikes Sam/Tapping.

Honestly, I've always preferred SG-1 to SGA even though I do enjoy SGA. On the other hand, I know that a lot of SGA fans don't like SG-1. I'm just curious if how a person came into the SGA fandom will predetermine some level of craziness in the OMG! SAM CARTER RUINED MY SHOW vs WTF? SHE'S WAY TOO GOOD FOR THAT DRIVEL fight.

This is a Sam friendly zone, but if Rodney doesn't stop being an idiot soon I'm gonna have to watch the show by peeking through my fingers while yelling "La, la, la, McKay's just in denial over how much in lust he is with Sheppard!"

3. I realized I'm going to miss Doppelganger on Friday and all the squee!again until I get home on Sunday. Geeze, why didn't I consult the SGA episode schedule before making my GRE appointment? I am obviously the dumbest human being in the world. : (

4. Did I tell y'all how much I enjoyed the movie The Game Plan? Cause I did. The Rock Dwayne Johnson is made of awesome, I don't care if the plotline is the most over-used ever. He did ballet, that's all I need to know.



5. Have any of you ever had an online arch-nemesis? Of course, it's actually all in my head - I'm nearly sure. I know how hard it is to get over a bad first impression in person let alone online, but I can't help me teeth going on edge every time I see a certain person post/comment. It's like no matter what it is, I always assume the worst of them. I was just wondering if I'm a freak or if this happens to other people too.

3) I know when I was studying for the GREs an eon ago, I found the "how do math again for the GRE's" book very helpful. It re-taught math for someone who hadn't looked at in a very, very long time. How to make graphs, how to calculate angels and the like. I ended up doing better on the Math than the verbal which made me laugh.

Regardless - good luck!

5) There are some people who can be a bit angry so I tend to avoid them. And I do try to temper my own posts/comments because dry senses of humor/sarcasm does not translate well on-line.

(Also an unabashed Sam fan. However, I found her interactions with Ronon on reunion odd and a bit out of character for both - but I guess its part of the whole "establish tension" mechanism that, for me, failed just as much as the "foreshadowing with a baseball bat" about Ronon's friends being evil. As for the whole Rodney/Sam interactions - I tend to find he reacts that way around all women (ie Duet with Katie) so I tend to ignore it.)

Same thing happened to me. : ) It's way easier to bone up on some math skills, but it's hard to learn tons of new vocab words that have no place in most actual business.

Thank you!

5. Yeah, it's not anger per se, but an odd sense of personal entitlement that I see dripping from every word they type. It's just amazing to me how someone could hit a nerve and then keep pushing without actually meaning to. At least, I assume they don't mean to.

"foreshadowing with a baseball bat"

Ha! Never has a truer statement been made about the SGA writers. : )
