May is not very gay
I have been hiding from real life by reading massive quantities of Magnificent Seven fic. Some of it was deeply, deeply bad, but I cannot stop myself.
However, I have a compelling list of reasons for hiding.
1) On Wednesday, a student at my school was shot and killed at her job in the campus bookstore. The shooter was at large until late last night, and the campus was on lockdown because they thought he might go after more Wesleyan students. I didn't know her, and I really don't know how I feel right now - it's still so surreal. I've barely left the house for a week.
2) I have three papers left to write. One is days late, and the other two are due on Monday. I have not written a single page. I am soooo fucked, and I'm having trouble caring.
3) I am graduating from college. My only current solid plan is going to the Bahamas for two weeks in June.
Some things that have made me smile recently:
1) Ryan Ross playing with animal horns (not like that!) and Brendon Urie quoting 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover
2) Maine legalizing same-sex marriage. If New Hampshire joins, we'll have New England almost covered. Let's hope it spreads, like a zombie plague of awesome.
3) The shenanigans over at XKCD. I am frequently irked at how media and fiction portray fans as crazy in a bad way; Randall Munroe is one of us, and pokes fun at Firefly/general fandom in a way that neatly avoids any irkage on my part. Plus, there's a perfect dig at FOX, which I ALWAYS love.
4) Picturing the ATF-verse Mag7 meeting the Leverage gang. I mean, aside from imagining Ezra and Sophie's delightful verbal duels when they meet undercover, or how badly Parker would scare Buck, I like to picture Vin and Eliot in the same room, and all the separated-at-birth jokes that might follow.

I have read so much bad Mag7 fic this last 2 weeks my eyes might be about to fall out of my head.

and bitch about their kids.Why why why why are all the Ezra characterizations so bad? Like, if he's a central character, all his complexities go right out the door and all the soppy, overly-loquacious, poor-pitiful-Ezra crap takes over. Most of the really good Ezra bits are supporting roles. People do *slightly* better with Vin, at least, who's my second favorite.
The real problem is that I've started saving fics that I know I'm going to re-read in a month and go "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING, PAST SELF, THIS IS TERRIBLE." All my standards are corrupted.

1) Not to mention when Brendon turned a Bill Murray movie reference into a Coen Brothers reference and compared himself to Frances McDormand at the same time. :)

Wait, he did what?!? How did I miss that? He's such a dorkface, seriously, and his exchanges with his girl are so cute.
