BSG, BSC, and social activity

Woo. Battlestar Galactica season one disc one and two arrived from Netflix. I'm on 1.02 right now, and still enjoying it very much, the sketchy morality (purposeful, but interesting), the fear, the characters. I am absolutely in love with Starbuck, still. Also the quote about never lending books, that made me happy. I am going to have to buy this show, because I want to watch it a lot, and try to understand it more. I don't think I'll want to write fic for it, but maybe. I have a hard time writing in sci-fi worlds, because I don't read a lot of sci-fi (or watch, for that matter), but the characters may overwhelm that for me.

Earlier, when lounging in bed and enjoying a day with no plans, the first in ages, I read a Baby-Sitter's Club book, Claudia and the Bad Joke (or something like that), and, well, I have femslashy thoughts, enough I might have to write a story.



Claudia and Dawn all the way in this. I've already forgotten all the little things (look, I was half asleep, okay?), but the two big ones are: Claudia talks about how Dawn often stays for dinner instead of being alone at her house and Dawn sneaks junk food into the hospital for Claudia. Let's think about this for a second. Dawn sneaks junk food into the hospital for Claudia. Dawn who hates junk food and almost always says something about it when the others eat it. Dawn, junk food, Claudia. It's true love when she goes against her ideals just to make Claudia happy.

Was social again last night, first with some of my coworkers and then with my sister K., one of my coworkers, and a friend of his from out of town and then with my sister visit brother T.'s house (even though he wasn't there, J., his girlfriend, was, and we had a good political discussion). This socialness included me drinking almost twelve bottles of Corona, which kind of made up for the dearth of beer in my life recently, but which is also kind of ridiculous. It was spread out over approximately nine hours or so, but still. K. and I also watched The Lords of Dogtown (again), which continues to make me love it and want to run away to California in a van. Good times.

I love Starbuck so, so, so much. So much. I need icons, Starbuck and BSG.

I definitely remember that odd vibe in Bad Joke even when I wasn't tuned femslashily. I mean, they never seemed that close, Claud and Dawn, so for Dawn to do something that extreme... hooo.

I say go for it. Their love is so canon.

I know. Up until that point (and after it), it's always Claudia and Stacey are close and Dawn and Mary Anne. Except here, when Dawn stays after meetings, stays for dinner, goes against everything she believes in order to make Claudia happy--yeah, once I get this femslash 06 mailed off tonight, I think the next story I write is definitely going to be Dawn/Claudia.

I'm also rather fond of Mary Anne/Stacey, even though I've never seen fic for it. After their Sea City trips, they seem a lot closer.

I could generally go for Mary Anne/Anyone. I love that girl *that* much. *pets her*

I've never really liked the Claudia/Stacey pairing-dynamic... I guess I just never really cared for either character, so the pairing just doesn't do anything for me either. Alternatives are nice.
