Still Don't Get It
After I feed the dog, it's off to the store for garbage bags! I've been relatively okay walking to the store on my early monthlies before, so.... *fingers crossed*
Eh, I was gonna write up a whole thing about how I still don't get the rabid OTP spewing ship wars thing, but then I realized 'eh, preaching to the choir' and it's not like I haven't gone off on the subject many times before. It's just that now I get the OTP thing. In the sense of having that couple that you will not separate. But I still don't see what the big deal is if other people aren't into it, or write other pairings with the same characters, or whatever.
I always kind of figured if I ever did finally discover a pairing that was It for me - since even my previous ultimate pairings like Scar/Lust and Snape/Remus or Henry/Eileen got shuffled around to whoever I felt like sticking them with at the time - maybe I would finally see what the big deal is. Especially considering how into characters I get, and how I tend to draw parallels with real life relationships. (I think the two former girlfriends who are still around can attest to this!)
But I don't. At all.
(Which is damn good, since otherwise, I'm pretty sure my roommate would kick me out. Bless her heart for putting up with all my crazy fantasy crap, but I think the day I started preaching about the holy ultimate OTP or some crap, I'd come home to my stuff on the curb. And I wouldn't blame her in the least.)
And yes, that is the terribly condensed version. I've still got to feed the dog and go out for garbage bags!
