I'm a spotted horse, and neither the leopards or the zebras want me.

So, I tried to go to the opening College Republicans meeting tonight and made it as far as the poster that was set up to attract the unwary. There in big block letters – "Pro-Life" "Defend Marriage" "Support the Troops!" (not that I don't support the troops, because I do, but why should that be a republican come-on?) – and I got kinda angry. I had a vision of handing out McCain bumper stickers, and realized that I wouldn't be able to live with myself. Then, I accidentally checked out the chick (which I do occasionally though never in much seriousness) walking up the escalator and knew I was in the wrong place.

I still think I'm a republican, I can't quite give away the label yet because there's just as many things the dems do that I don't agree with. I'm just sick of party politics. Maybe I'll try to check out the Young Dems next week and see if I do any better.

Regarding Stargate: Universe, I am cautiously optimistic. I really enjoyed ST: VOY, and I always thought that SGA was more compelling, in canon and fic, when they were cut off from Earth. I think I'll enjoy a younger cast and influences into the story arcs. JoeF, Ben, Michael, and David are all very nice to look at, but I do like 'em a little closer to my own age too.

I am not really behind amireal's advert campaign. Instead, I like what liviapenn had to say here. Defriend me if you need to, but I don't plan to make a big deal out of anything. I'd like to be fannish about the new series, but it's a long way away.



I'm still drowning under a pile of papers and readings. I would really like an August redo. Please?

McKay and Sheppard are awesome characters. I'll probably always read fic about them. Fans shouldn't have to be exclusive, I just saw so much hate for SGU last week that I got a little sad. What if it's awesome? Or if it's not, what if fandom could write awesome fic to fix it? I'd hate for people to miss out on that.

Right, exactly! I'm willing to try pretty much everything (er, in terms of fannish activities) at least once to see if it is awesome. I'd hate to miss out if it was, and if it's not, well, that's why there are buttons on the remote, and back buttons on internet browsers. I don't think we have to love SGU but we could, and I'd rather check it out before condemning it.
