My meme stalker has taken to posting ENTIRE POSTS, IN THEIR ENTIRETY on the meme. It makes a change from the commentless links, I suppose. In this case, I think the idea was to have everyone pile in and say how wrong I am to say that people having casual sex is just that, people having casual sex. Which happens, A LOT, so take your moral superiority and shove it up your arse, because some people actually enjoy having safe and consensual sex, dudes. Really! It didn't really work in this case, because most people seem to agree with me, apart from those who enjoy calling other people skanks for what those other people do with their pussies which is none of their fucking business. Yo, meme, your prudish Yank is showing. Put it away, already.

For the record: I don't think the meme is beneath me. I'm just not terribly interested in posting there. I fully support anyone who likes the anonymity of the meme, and I can totally understand why people like that aspect of it, I'm sure it's very liberating. I just have a terrible time talking to people I can't identify and who can't identify me, I need some sort of context. It makes me really uncomfortable for some reason, probably for the same reasons that other people find it comforting. Sure I read it, I've more or less always read it, how would I find out about sinkwank otherwise? You gotta go somewhere, and truth be told, on a fannish level, I hardly venture off LiveJournal nowadays, there's not much else to my fannish world, I've never read TWOP and only rarely read Digital Spy, I didn't like the old OG much and I haven't even signed up for the new one, all I ever did there was argue with old men anyway. I still get pissed that I get linked to so often on the meme, simply because I don't really think I have that fascinating or controversial an opinion on anything, so I fail to see the point. But just like sink sex, whatever floats your boat is fine with me, link away, take the piss, do whatever makes you happy. In your pants.

Yeah, I know, I said I'd do a picspam. But first I'll do a post about love. All this will happen after I've cleaned the carpet, today's the last day of warmness when it might actually dry and it needs attention after the kiddie party. There was spillage. lots of it.

I use my Sheldon icon because dudes, Big Bang's nearly on again.

ETA: Also, I HAVE FISH. Dudes, if you think having fish means buying an aquarium, filling it with water and bunging some fish in, you'd be SORELY MISTAKEN. I think we've spent well over 50 euros on additives and testing kits alone. Fuck me, they're more work that a dog.

Oh come on people, you don't snog 'over a sink', you just snog. This girl is making an attempt at damage limitation. See through it! Embrace the gossip!

I wondered too if there was back-pedalling going on. Though perching on a sink allows for snogging, groping and digital manipulation (and i DON'T mean Photoshop!)

*sigh* whateve's. (sorry, been away & it's late in San Fran, & i've not been privy to the OMFG GDL SMEX stuff)

Honestly?!? ITS A CON! Anyone remember The Two Captain's ST NYC Con in '91? Let's just say PS REALLY likes my hair & leave it at that.

Given a chance and the right party/vibe I woulda tapped GDL on a sink too. AND? He's an adult, so was she.

for fuck's sake, grow up.....

Case in point from the non-celeb world. About 15 years ago I was at a friends 21st BDay party as a surprise guest. After the reveal (it was a "This is your life" style thing) i was chatting to this handsome man (i'm a man too), i'd had a few vodka/cranberries, and he said i looked good, and i got flirty with him and all we had was a snog.

Little did i know that his girlfriend was across the room!!! Bloke tried to explain to GF that it didn't mean anything bcos it was a bloke he snogged. GF said it didn't matter who, because he snogged someone that wasn't her - they split up not long after.

I was embarrassed for a while, thinking that i'd caused them to split up. But then i realised, it was his choice and his responsibility. I went on the information available at the time.

So strong drink, plus handsome men can lead to snogging and more. But if handsome men don't say no to vodka-fuelled lustbuckets, then that's their own look out!

Ah, nice. I've found generally that if you've got live plants cycling isn't as critical as it is if you don't (they bring in the right sorts of bacteria on their roots from the store), so your fish should be cool. :)

I went through a phase of wanting to be the next Takashi Amano (http://www.amanotakashi.net/portfolio/nature_aquarium/index.html) with my tank. It didn't work out that amazing, but it's still alive and green downstairs. Apparently I kill fish, but not plants. (Except Java Moss; I am quite possibly the only person in the world to have killed Java Moss.) ^^"

I was directed to your LJ by [livejournal.com profile] bandgeek01 last night after the onset of 'sinkgate.' LOL! I love your point of view on the entire thing and agree 100%. It's going to be an interesting at the cons he's attending the rest of the year.

Just wanted to know I friended you.....

"Sinkwank" is my new favorite word. I'm hard-pressed to think of a way I could use it in regular conversation, but I will certainly try my best.

Good luck with the fish. As for them being more work than a dog, at least you don't have to walk fish.

I suppose those tweets didn't actually say anything explicit, they did say she snogged him and split his lip, and the girl said that her friend was "doing" him in the bathroom (so classy) but how would she know exactly what was being done anyhow, unless they were watching.

I was actually thinking about this, yes I'm that sad, and it did occur to me that GDL's gf does have a right to be really bloody cross about it. to have it all over the internet like this is mortifying. It's that thing that people say about how you may well have all kinds of arrangements in your private life, but you don't want the neighbours and your granny and your grannies neighbours to know. So it will be awful for her, and now it's out, well I'm sure she will have been told by now. Even if they don't personally read the forums, the people around them do. As JB says, his sister does, and even he looks on twitter.

Still won't somebody think of the ponies?

Huh. Yes, I saw that "but I meant kissing" backpedaling thing, since people were talking about it on twitter. I don't know or care what actors do when they're not being paid to entertain me on screen, as long as they're not doing anything criminal.

What I found funny was the thought that some people who hate on a fictional character for cheating on her fiance are probably now confused about how they're supposed to feel about the possibility of someone they actually like doing it.

If the story is true, I think I'd need oven gloves to handle that hilarious chunk of hot irony.

ETA: Sorry, that's kind of harsh. Hmm. Ah. Well. Double standard things are a peeve for me in general. :/

Oh yeah, we all have faves and not-so-fave and :P characters. It's the random bashing in areas not designed for just that (which fans can avoid) which irritate me.

It's a fan downer.

Surely it's different though? I don't know, but it seems to me that he isn't the character, just a person with his own "issues" whatever they happen to be. As I said above, if it's true I just feel awful for the fact that it has gotten out everywhere. Just awful for his family, he seems to have all these sweet older relatives he speaks about, not to mention how embarrassing for the gf (no matter what she thinks privately, you wouldn't want your mum to know as it were) I never thought he would be so silly as this sort of thing is such a bad idea, tacky and bad for the reputation.

I don't think you mean it as schadenfreude, but I do think it is different, and gosh I hope that there aren't some poor kids upset by it, but I don't really think that they hold him up as a moral guide or anything, especially with all the band stuff. I suspect any that are that into him have tried to flash their boobs to him themselves.

Yeah, I don't even think it's TRUE, actually. Anyone can say they did anything with a celebrity, really. I was there and we totally... um, did nothing. :) I got his autograph and he was pleasant to speak with, just like the other actors at the con.

He mentioned in the first panel that he'd been talking to a Scott Gill impersonator on Facebook for MONTHS. O_o

Actors and creators really need to think about the realities of social networking and fandom. It's a drag for them, but rumors spread very quickly these days, even if they're just bogus things people joke about.

Yes I just think it's very suspicious that on her twitter profile it says she is an out of work actress. I don't think it's true either as it reads too bizarrely, all this "some dude from Torchwood" Also when he was actually single the only con rumours were the odd snog, in public, of fan girls at the evening do, generally even when he has drunk heroic amounts he still seems to conduct himself well with fans. I think that their handlers/managers keep more of an eye on them than that to be honest, as they still are working, get paid shedloads for cons, and don't want to ruin chances of more of them.

As I said though, horrid that it would have spread like wildfire to his loved ones, even more so if it isn't true, as no one deserves that, but even if it is true, still horrid.

That's the problem with Twitter, Facebook et al. There's no line between public and private. If people think what they eat for breakfast is of interest to the world at large, then naughty with real actor, oh my!

But GDL's a big boy - if he didn't realize the problem with snogging, doing, sexing, a groupie in the age of instant communication - he does now.

Sometimes equiring minds don't really want to know.
