1.  People who do not use their blinkers to signal their intentions on the freeway during rush hour.

2.  People who tailgate when you are already going 5 mph over the speed limit and there is NO ONE in the passing lane, conditions are good, and they still will not pass you.

3.  People who pass you and then proceed to slow down to 5 mph slower than the speed limit.

4.  People that pass a semi-truck (lorry for you Brits) and do not give them enough room so that they have to slam on their brakes and fishtail, risking every other life on the freeway.

5.  People entering traffic who are supposed to yield but refuse to.


Can you tell I had to drive on the freeway today?

Also, to not leave things on a totally negative note, seen on a t-shirt in the high school parking lot:

Haikus are easy
But they don't always make sense
Refrigerator


I will be glad when school is out.


I appear to be over my writer's block (or perhaps canon cockblock is a better term).  Things are coming along slowly but surely.


I am rewatching Fringe.  It's funny how many details they put into season one that I didn't catch the first time around that led to the parallel worlds storyline.  I love watching the evolution of Peter's realtionship with Walter and his relationship with Olivia.  I love the emotional depth Anna Torv can show with just the minutest changes in facial expressions.  I forgot how much I adored Charlie and the evolution of Broyles from ass to the best guy to have in your corner.  Although I did get to episode 2x11 today and would really like to know why the heck Charlie is in it when he was killed earlier in the season.  I remember that being done when it aired, too.  Pretty big screw up to air them out of order like that when a character is dead.

Why are there not more Fringe/Doctor Who Pete's World crossover fics?  The setup is perfect, much better than some of the ones I've seen for other shows.

YOU need to write a Fringe/DW Pete's World crossover. Please? Pretty please? Seriously. I've been hoping someone with serious writing chops (like you) would take this on in a significant, epic, 35 chapter sort of way.

Every time I watch Fringe, I see similarities, nods and winks to DW. The LSD episode (with the animation) reminded me so much of AOS/ROTC. So, what do you say? Will you do it? Or at least add it to your queue? I can just see Ten2 and Rose (working for Torchwood) having to collaborate on a case with Charlie, Fauxlivia and Lincoln... All kinds of fantastic!

I'm with you on the bad driver rant... I hate, hate, HATE going to Walmart. Had to go today. Why is it that drivers lose all common sense in the Walmart parking lot?

I completely agree with you on all those pet peeves. Drivers, in general, SUCK.

Agreed on all the traffic things. It definitely makes me turn into a cliche driver: aka "swearing in a box with wheels."

As to the thing with Charlie, that was a s01 episode, but they had no time to air it, and they figured that as they had filmed it, they might as well show it. So, they aired it on a special night, but they only noted online that it was a missing s01 ep, so everyone except for the totally obsessed, checking Fringe's news page every five minutes people missed said announcement. Sadly (or thankfully, depending on how you look at it), I was in the "obsessed, checking every five mins" category, and knew what was up.

And I don't know why there aren't more xovers. If it's any consolation, I'm currently writing a 3 chapter over with Pete's World again (a sequel to the last one I did). It'll hopefully be up within the net week or so (or the first chapter will anyway). Maybe that will ease the lack of stories a bit?...

I had a white van man up my backside most of my way to pick my brother up from college. This was on a single carrageway road, so there was nowhere for me to go. But I like to irritate them by going dead on the speed limit. They try their best to goad you into breaking the speed limit, but I don't give them the satifaction.
They are what I hate most above people who don't indicate and people doing 30 mph in a derestricted zone (60-70 mph dependant on the type of road).
