A few thoughts...

A few random thoughts I had lately and couldn't help but share - mostly on random acronyms...

FML - When I first saw FML, I thought it meant f*** myself laughing, and didn't get it. Then I thought maybe it was a reference to situations where you laugh because the only other option is crying. (I still think this kind of makes sense, but I know what it actually means now. :P)

OTP (One True Pairing) - This one's more a question, relating to people talking about their OTP(s) in fandom.* Can you only ever have one OTP, or at least, only one at a time? Or can you have different OTPs for different things? (Because wouldn't the latter defeat the purpose of having a ONE true pair?)**

I have to confess, I kind of love acronyms, although there are only a few I use, and sometimes just for fun. My favourite one currently is TMI (too much information).


* I really like the word "fandom" - I think it's because it could be the name of some faraway land. (I maybe perhaps should be in bed...)
**This point may or may not have been influenced by Prince Henry's ramblings about fate and true love in Ever After...

Random Cheese

And this has nothing to do with Captain Hammer, if anyone was wondering :P (I'm sorry for the inevitable disappointment!). Lately I seem to have developed an obsession with cheese. I'm always examining cheese in the supermarket, and wanting to have cheese with everything. :P As a result, I'm also loving toasted sandwiches - they just make everything taste so much better - a plain cheese and tomato sandwich is infinitely awesome toasted!

This leads to my next point - has anyone got any good cheese recommendations? (Not just for in toasted sandwiches!)

BTW, is this reminding anyone else of the random cheese guy in the Restless episode of Buffy? :P

My Migratory Kettle

I keep my electric kettle on the floor in the loungeroom, when I'm not using it. Not only that, but I move it around, so in the course of a week it might move around the room: from the middle of the floor; to underneath the clotheshorse; to over near the TV cabinet; then back to the middle of the floor. Now, before you decide I’m crazy, I guess I should explain WHY I do this! =D It’s a “game” I play, called Evade the Ants. There’s another name for it, but it’s not quite as polite... *looks shifty* We have a problem with ants – we just can’t get rid of them. And the ants LOVE the kettle, and have an incredible ability to find it, no matter where I put it. I clearly can’t leave it on the bench, but they even found it in the cupboard, and on top of the bookcase! So I eventually came up with the plan of making it a migratory kettle! =D
