Okay, I'm Done

[crossover_chick]

Watched all the current videos compromising Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series. I get the feeling this is a freaking WEIRD show.
-M2: Like most of the anime we know anything about ISN'T?-
Fair enough.
-OD: *Tommy* Come on, Victoria, you promised us another chapter before you left.-
I know, I know! I'm doing some editing work now, I swear. <--*ironic turn of phrase, considering what I just did was cut down on the swearing*
-OD: Pardon?-
I didn't want to up the rating, so I cut some "fucks" out of Chapter 6. I may restore them for the website version -- jury's out at the moment. I know the Trilogy itself never gets past PG-13 with "bitch" and "shit." Then again, Chapter 6 is an intro to Hill Valley -- might be the only appropriate place for a "fuck."
-VuM: Who's saying it?-
Gang members. Not you guys. I'll think about it. I also got a page and a half done on "There's Always Tomorrow."
-DW: Have you fixed your "not entirely sure where I'm going" problem yet?-
Sort of. There's definitely one thing I could do a chapter on, but I don't know if anyone would be interested in reading it.
-MF: Dare we ask?-
Well, it involves the fact that there's all three of you in the Old West.
-VuM: So?-
And this occurred to me at the beginning of the month. Jennifer's a girl.
-AJ: Oh, yay, you realized I'm the same sex as you --
*it hits her* OH MY GOD.-
Yeah, do I dare do at least part of a chapter on Jennifer's first PERIOD back then?
-VuM: Ew! Uh, no offense --
-AJ: None taken! How did people even deal with that back then?-
I assume they did what some people even do now -- use reusable thick cotton inserts.
-AJ: . . . . HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT??-
I Wikied it once, don't you remember? The Always Clean campaign got me curious.
-J: Who would want to WASH -- just EW!-
To be fair, disposable pads are relatively new.
-J2: We don't care! Who wants to touch crotch blood?-
-M2: I feel bad for you girls sometimes. Leaking once a month. . . .-
Yeah. I suppose it's kind of a tradeoff -- we leak and get hormonal, while your naughty bits are out in the open for anyone to kick.
-Boys: *automatically cross legs*-
You know, that's kind of a stupid move if you think about it. If I were in charge of evolution or what-have-you, I would have made some sort of shell or something. Of course, that becomes a problem when you insert Tab A into Slot B --
-TTV: *brilliant red* Can we talk about ANYTHING ELSE???-
Well, I went clothes-shopping today.
-TTV: *nodnod* Clothes. Clothes are good.-
Have to get new bras--
-TTV: CLOTHES ARE NOT GOOD!-
-D: You're doing this deliberately.-
I'm not! I seriously need new bras! Not that I can FIND any -- my boobs are too big and my ribcage is too small. I'm almost ready to actually TRY a corset, just to see if it would work better. Seems to work well for Agatha.
-TTV: *hands over ears, singing* Oh say can you see-
-M: You're English. Shouldn't you be singing "God Save the Queen" or something?-
-TD: *threatens me with a raygun of some sort* Talk about something UNRELATED to female anatomy!-
Okiedokie.
EVERY Monday should start this way :D
-TD: DAMN IT, GIL!-
-VD: If we hear ONE word about cheese or chocolate--
Is beef okay? As in beefcake?
-VD2: The cake is a LIE.-
But -- it's right --
-VD2: LIE.-
-HD: *eyeing everyone* Mad people. I'm surrounded by mad people. *pulls out a hanky and ties it around his face*-
-RPD: *hurriedly* Didn't you recently take some pictures with your camera?-
Yeah! I finally got around to cleaning out my bookshelf and getting rid of some old books I don't want/read anymore. That freed up some space, so I rearranged my BTTF collection a bit:

As full a picture of the complete collection (well, almost) as I could get. Had to stand on my bed for it.
Very top shelf. Stuck my McDonalds BTTF toys up here, along with the two versions of the BTTF.com business cards. (Yes, I am THAT nerdy) Also, a pair of "futurey" sunglasses I picked up somewhere.
One shelf down. Here we have my Ride magnet and penny, my Polar Lights DeLorean model (I put the Mr. Fusion on it, the pole assembly is next to it), my Micro Action Hoverport and Hovercars, and my three old Ride watches from BTTF.com. (All broken now -- they're kinda fragile) Also, here I've posed my SpideyMates, on top of the last of my Marx Brothers stuff.
One more shelf down. We have a binder full of BTTF-themed magazines (official fanmag, Starlogs, all of that), the BTTF storybook, and the Official Trilogy book. Also my novelizations, stacked because otherwise they'd take up too much room. I have two copies of Part II, yes -- one's censored, one's not. There's also postcards, more business cards (in my defense these actually have pictures on the backs), DeLorean toys, the Johnny Lighting diorama thing -- and of course the Kubricks and Minimates. My hope is eventually to give those guys their own shelf.
And the last shelf. Contains my set of BTTF comics, my collection of Part II cards (well, the ones that weren't stuck on my wall), my Ride OUTATIME plate, and my BTTF pens.
Here's my Einies, chilling on my bed and wrapped up in my Alice blanket. There's actually other stuffed animals under there, but only the Einies are visible.

Aaand a close-up on the Minimates, staring in horror at 1955 Doc's disembodied head.
Not featured: My wallpaper border of BTTF cards, my mirror frame of BTTF cards, my Japanese Ride Watch, my BTTF pocket watch, and my BTTF keychain. I'll see about getting pics of those later.

-D: That was amazingly thorough.-
Hey, I like showing off my stuff. :D Incidentally, the new memory card I got for my camera allows 836 pictures. I think I'm set for Florida.
-M: *dreamily* I still can't believe we're going.-
Frankly, neither can I. *fangirlish giggle*
Okay, I gotta go do something on the writing front.

You know, I think that was the reason women back then wore so many layers. I Wikied it, too. ^^ *runs from muses*

[docsgirl.livejournal.com]

LOL, yeah, I bet.

I've done research into the period matter back then (since one of my main characters in my book series lives in the mid-1800s) and I've decided a long time ago that I just would not get into that whole thing! I think it would gross people out...hell, it grosses me out just thinking about it, and I'm a girl! I also think that Meg would die ten billion and one deaths if I ever wrote about that kind of problem with her.

(Besides, women didn't start to actually menstrate until their middle or late teens back then. The whole onset of puberty for girls has moved up many years since the 19th century.)

Jennifer qualifies for the age thing -- given the birthdays I use for them, both should turn 18 back there.

But yeah, I can see how it could gross someone out. I was horrified when I learned about reusable pads. Just -- ewwwww.
