almost branded a communist 'cause i'm lefthanded...

In the WTF! moment of the week, a lady in the coffeeshop asked me where I was from. This is not unusual. I said Canada, which is also not unusual, though sometimes I say New Zealand just to screw with people's minds. In response, she said, and I quote exactly: "I hear a lot about Canada when I watch Bill O'Reilly". I goggled at her, wanting to say something like "Oh, yes, we're all gay communist lumberjacks up there, m'am". But I refrained, and after a few moments of strained silence, she added "But Canada is a nice place" and walked off.

*shakes head* I'm still kinda laughing about it now.

Had a nice long talk with my mom today, and I'm feeling guardly optimistic about the future and generally kinda happy and forward-looking now, which is good. And in so in spirit of spreading happiness, here's a meme I gacked from missandrony and aishuu:

Want someone new on your flist? Well this is the friends connection meme. Comment, and I'll rec you someone to add. I won't necessarily match up fandoms, either. Because inter-fandom love is love. Got it? Comment, and this do this on your LJ so you can rec me, and everyone on your friendslist something.

Hmmm...I think daegaer. She writes insanely good - and often hilarious - fic that is worth reading even if you don't know the fandom. She also posts good semi-political and/or funny links sometimes.

For you, I think prillalar. She's into a lot of the same animes that you are and has some interesting thoughts on fandom. *g*
