Hello, flist! It's good to be home. It's very pleasant and chilly and holidaylike, which is a pleasant change from the FREEZING COLD. I took the train on my way back, and it was only seven hours late (that makes it a 22 hour trip. the fog, apparently.), but I managed, thanks to the combination of books, music, Very Cute Guy, Very Cute Baby and looking out of the window (it was a good thing the train was travelling through some of my favourite parts of the country). It is very unlikely that the vacation will be anywhere near relaxing - I just made a list of Things I'm Supposed to Do, and it goes like this:

- meet up with friends. a number of them.
- meet up with extended family. ditto.
- spend time with family.
- catch up on BSG S1 and House S4.
- finish some fannish things I'm supposed to finish
- appear for an irritating public examination type thing
- study. at least a little bit. for the said examination.
- take Important Decisions on Life, the Universe, and everything.

But. It's good to be back. How are you?

Did you set your journal to adult concepts??? On purpose? Because I was reading without being signed in and it asked me whether I was over 14 before it would let me view this post!

- finish some fannish things I'm supposed to finish

Errr, yeah. I'm in that same boat, aren't I? LOL.

- catch up on BSG S1 and House S4

Oh, you *must* catch up! First because I want you squeeing over BSG with me, and second because I have a new OTC in House! *Flails*

I did. Because I have no intention on cutting down on porn-related squeeage, and this made sense. Er, are we supposed to mark individual pages as explicitly adult if they contain something like NC-17 fic? This is confusing.

Psst. Don't tell anyone. It's our secret.

I'm upto 4.7 now. Then I'll rewatch and post obsessive squeeage. With caps. It's CTB, isn't it? I know what happens, and it broke my heart in tiny little pieces. CTB/13 is my new OTP. CTB/13/Kutner is my new OT3. I'll also catch up on BSG now, because I want to see how Kara does not die (yes, the last ep I watched was a cliffhanger).

We think the new adult content flags are stupid and are ignoring them, if we = me. *g*

The one thing you should know is that the "WARNING ADULT CONTENT HERE" cut replaces any cut-tags you have in your post, so if your cut tags contain information about things like spoilers or fic ratings, anyone seeing the adult content filter won't see that information. If that makes any sense. You can always count on LJ to confuse something up.

Hmm. I followed some of the links you posted and metafandom and thought it was the best course of action. But this is all extraordinarily confusing. Maybe I will go and set it back, because a moment ago I was not logged in and it asked *me* if I was above 14. *shakes fist at stoopid LJ*

[jaybee65.livejournal.com]

I'm going to say ditto to what nestra said: if you use headers above your cut tags to give information/spoiler warnings, etc., all of that gets obliterated by the LJ-imposed cut tag. LJ says that they realize that this is a problem, but they have no solution for it.

[jaybee65.livejournal.com]

I think the whole concept of "adult concepts" is ridiculously vague, so I refuse to cooperate with any of it. Let people flag my stuff if they want.

And yes, it's CTB! I *love* CTB/13 sooooooo much! I actually even had a dream about House on the night after watching the episode where you-know-what happens: CTB decided to lodge a protest by, uh, moving into the elevator (she had a little hammock strung up, and a bag full of belongings) and refusing to be dislodged, and Thirteen supported her by bringing her food from the cafeteria, and it was just so cute, and then I woke up and thought WTF, JayBee?? LOL.

That would be AWESOME and I would like you to write it.

[jaybee65.livejournal.com]

Oh God, don't enable me! I have enough crackfic urges in this fandom as it is! ;-)

[swatkat24.livejournal.com]

I second nestra. YOU HAVE TO WRITE IT. PLEASE.

[msgenevieve.livejournal.com]

Hellooooooooo!

Yes, please do catch up with BSG.

I also have something happening in my LJ that I can unlock for you if you want some interesting reading. *g*

[swatkat24.livejournal.com]

HEY!

Yes, yes, I will. I saw upto 1.6. Or was it seven? I liked what I saw. *g*

What is it???? I want to see! *stamps foot*

[msgenevieve.livejournal.com]

Go check my LJ, my dear!

[swatkat24.livejournal.com]

Silky has a twin in PB fandom? That one?

[msgenevieve.livejournal.com]

That's the one!

[plazmah.livejournal.com]

Just FYI, imho S4 House = laaaaame. *sadface*

[swatkat24.livejournal.com]

I don't know, I've enjoyed what I've seen so far!

[plazmah.livejournal.com]

It's only my opinion; unlike me my sister is completely and utterly in love with S4, totally squeeing over everything! So there is hope. ;)

[swatkat24.livejournal.com]

It's... different. I miss the old formula, but I'm enjoying what they're doing with this so far. There's still a lot of show left! Maybe you'll enjoy it again later. I hope. *crosses fingers*
