thebratqueenI think I'm coming to the inescapable conclusion that I have fish fear. I say this after catching up on Snopes during my lunch break wherein they have this HUGE ass picture of a catfish, like "people have owned cars this size" huge and my one thought upon seeing it in mere photo form is, and I quote, "Eep".
Quite possibly I should amend this to say that it's big fish fear. I do not, as for example, hyperventilate at the sight of your average or even honors student style goldfish. I successfully kept an illegal alien betta fish for years, until his subsequent death and burial at the Hudson, which was the closest I could get to sea. Elder Brother once owned pirhanas - and I'm sure I'm spelling that wrong - and I managed a happy tra la. Also I liked their names of Fascist Bully Boy and Bacon Sandwich, and there's a shiny nickel in it for anyone who recognizes the subreference there.
But big fish - nope. It's just wrong. They're all, you know, big and stuff. I can't cope. Clearly they are coming and they are coming to eat me.
Whether or not this ties in to my fear, as a child, that a shark was going to come eat me while I was in my carpeted living room I have no idea. And, ironically, sharks don't bug me that much. I wouldn't want to go swimming with a great white anytime soon but pictures of them do not scare me. Blue whales, on the other hand, do. And yes I know that whales are mammals.

lucifrix has found me a pattern for a Gryffindor scarf, so I look forward to trying to learn to knit sometime in the next month or so. I forsee this as a happy way to while away spare time while waiting for, oh, I dunno, RPG tags and the like. That I will be doing this during summer hours makes no never mind to me.
I've also been trying to indulge my HP withdrawal by reading stories, most of which I'm finding via recs, and I've come to the conclusion that while I fully support anyone's right to write and enjoy twincest, I am not one of those people. Quite possibly this is my bullet attracting kink - or whatever the opposite of bulletproof is. Something that so throws me out of a story I can't keep reading no matter how good the story might have been otherwise.
Other items that appear on that list are, of course, the worlds "childe" and "childre". Also, quite possibly, the phrase "skin like moonstone" when not being used ironically or to describe someone other than human.
Things that are always good, though? Naturally, Wes in a priest's outfit. There's no wrong to be found there.
