1. Okay, Smartbitches shared something fun..Fanfic Trope Venn Diagram and OTP Podcast. I didn't listen to the podcasts because I'm really NOT a fan of podcasts or the radio or anything purely audio. I was discussing this with a co-worker, and we agreed, we sort of required audio and visual for it to work. We both read aloud at various points to get into our heads. I need to hear and see it in my head. When I write -- I hear and see it, and often will have to speak it aloud first or go off and work it through like a movie reel in my head. I need to interact with it -- to be able to grab hold of it. I'm an interactive or hands on learner.

Anyhow, enough about me. Sorry for the side-bar.







And... OTP - the One True Podcast for fanfiction readers, lovers, and writers".

Hee.

I thought President Obama's eulogy was especially touching.

[wendelah1]

I did, too.

I was rather touched by it as well. I miss Obama. A President that I respected, voted for twice and would again, and could say his full name without wanting to vomit. Such a rarity.

Oh my god, that diagram is a work of art.

I know, right? Could not resist sharing. I just love it.
