Our cable and internet went out today. When we called our ISP, they said they were surprised we had it at all, since lightning storms have been a pretty big problem in our state, as well as Ohio and Illinois.

So I may lose the internet at any moment for an undetermined amount of time - just so you all know!

ETA: HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY EVERYONE! May you have a fantastic day :D

I'm taking the quiet approach. I have parrots and the noise scares the crap out of them unless I’m here to hide behind. Flock leader be me!

Food must always be a part of the cowering behind. Pet parents must provide protection and snacks!

My genius knows no bounds. Today, power. Tomorrow, world hunger. After that, THE WORLD.

*claps* Now all I have to do is decided if I want to take over the world with a fanatical cult or through my cunning wiles.

God, now I need to find a Wiley E Coyote icon.

Fangirl priorities. Seriously, that's why I bought a Nook. So I'd never get caught in a fanfiction dry season. ;)

Be safe with that bad weather!

I'm in the same boat! Whenever somebody asks to borrow mine, I have to think: How explicit is the McShep fic I'm presently reading?

Oh man, which -- this story: before this reader, I had another reader and that reader got trampled by somebody who wasn't me (it's still a mystery who did it). Anyway, so I took the reader in to the store to ask the sales guy if there was any kind of warranty, repair house, whatever. So he takes it from me and starts looking at it and, of COURSE, the only button still working was the "Reading Now" button, which he pressed. And it opened straight to a really, really NC-17 scene... It was a little awkward.

But there are so many Reverse bangs I haven't read yet, and I can't stand the thought of having to wait to read them :P

I know. I think I'm still halfway through. I STILL haven't read everything from last year's McShep Match. :\

So far things have been well~

Keep on keeping on, as they say. ;)

Whenever someone asks to borrow mine, I always say, "Sure. But can I see it for a second?" and then take it to the home page. And then tell them that I just didn't want them to have to deal with getting out of what I'm reading :P

LOL, wise. Very wise.

Oh my god, how did you not melt into a puddle of embarrassment? Did the guy say anything or noticeably react? I'm turning red just thinking about it. You are so, so brave for making it through all that :P

It was pretty funny. The weird thing was how nonplussed he was about it. Like he was totally used to porn being the first thing on people's readers... Or I can hope anyway.

Haha, I devoured those as they were posted. I have a list of Reverse Bangs to get through - five more to go, including the second fic posted by kay_greatness

You're awesome. I'm the slowest reader, I've got to tell you.

lol yes - the only way to live!

;P

Damn it, sorry. My sister was using my computer earlier tonight and she was still logged in when I commented, so last comment's from me and not her. uggghh...

Hahaha, at least he didn't start freaking out and drawing attention. Maybe he *is* used to seeing porn on people's readers? Or maybe he purposely didn't look closely at the words, lol...

He had to do the Just Keep Swimming thing. Just Keep Smiling, Just Keep Smiling... Do not let on that you've seen the porn! ;)

Being a slow reader isn't a bad thing - it gives you time to savor the fic?

Maybe? Always look on the bright side, right? ;P

I think so. :D

nihilvanum's words:

my dear
the problem is that
you love him so much
you would allow him
to drag you all the way to hell
if it meant you could
hold his hand
on the way down
