Strange latenight thoughts...

[windandwater]

Yes, I keep an ongoing monologue in my head. We amuse ourselves in here.

-- Writing isn't just about what you say, but also how you say it. Sure, I could write, "his hot throbbing manmeat". I'd have to commit seppuku directly afterwards, but I could write that.

-- The world might be a better place if God would just smite people, like he did in the Bible. Wouldn't you act nicer if you lived in fear of being smote?

-- 'Penii' is not the plural of 'penis'; it's 'penises.' But that just looks silly.

-- Dammit, it's after the 4th! Those stupid boys next door need to stop setting off firecrackers! Or maybe they'll get a hand blown off... that would show them. Oh damn, that was a bad thought.

-- Country music is invasive and evil.

Writing isn't just about what you say, but also how you say it. Sure, I could write, "his hot throbbing manmeat". I'd have to commit seppuku directly afterwards, but I could write that.

Part of the reason why I usually don't write smut (though that may be changing soon... >.>;). I cringe at all the slang for man and femme bits.

'Penii' is not the plural of 'penis'; it's 'penises.' But that just looks silly.

I agree. XD

And thanks to you, I slip penii into casual everyday conversation. *snicker*

Oh, and... *pokepoke* You mentioned something about a psycho!noin fic?

*eggs you on* Do it! Take the plunge! Write some smut!

[yochimmm12.livejournal.com]

I'm getting there; I'm getting there.

I just need to think up a decent setting first. It wasn't until I read that fic-bit you sent that I realized duh, I so could have done that angle myself. ^_^;

*watches as Asher's plotbunny keeps humping my leg*

Yeah. And it looks like it's going to be alt. pairing too, thus adding onto the difficulty of making it real and non-contrived.

You should write smut! Join the dark side! Every fanfic writer should attempt the most overdone types in fanfiction at least once! Do it! Do it! You know you want to!

... and penii should be slipped into casual, everyday conversation. It makes them happy.

Oh, and the psycho!Noin fic is... ^_^;; Yes, she's obsessed with Zechs, but that's not the creepy scary part.

*nods* I do.

It's just a matter of getting started.

And securing the proper materials for - *cough* - "research purposes."

... and penii should be slipped into casual, everyday conversation. It makes them happy.

Not to mention that it's an instant attention-grabber!

"Oh my god, I'm drowning in penii!"

Oh, and the psycho!Noin fic is... ^_^;; Yes, she's obsessed with Zechs, but that's not the creepy scary part.

Oooh. And just what would be the creepy scary part? The fact that she's shacked up with Septem? Or the fact that her Taurus is fitted with the Purple Prowling Dildo™? XD

Sure, I could write, "his hot throbbing manmeat".

I dare you to. :p

...in a non-parody type fic.

Oh damn, that was a bad thought.

*points and 'ooohs' like an elementry school student* You're gonna get smote!

... damn you! Don't give me challenges like that!

*bats slobbering plotbunnies away*

I'm rubber and you're glue! Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks on you! Neener-neener-neener!

Note to self: Watch what I say at all times so I don't trigger Pond's Happy Fun Button and get myself caught into such a challenge.

Wouldn't you act nicer if you lived in fear of being smote?

i think its smitten.... i spent several days stressing over what the past tense of smite is..... yes i know i have no life

[skyblueandblack.livejournal.com]

Well, but isn't "smitten" what someone is when they're crushing? You know... "he was completely smitten with her..."

Plus there's two different forms of past tense -- past and present perfect. Observe:

I smote.

I have smitten.

The difference is that one implies your smiting days are over, while the other suggests you could still be throwing lightning bolts down on unsuspecting mortals. It's just coloquialism that's given them two different conversational meanings.

And then there's past perfect tense, which would be "I had smitten," which is useful in telling stories.

... Please don't look at me like that...

[kodalai.livejournal.com]

Are you sure it's not "I have smited?"

[windandwater.livejournal.com]

Smited doesn't even come up as a proper tense. But we don't care about such things, do we?

Re:

[skyblueandblack.livejournal.com]

Hm, you've got a point... But then would the past perfect tense be "I had smited"?

I dunno. In present and past perfect, "smitten" does sound better than "smited," but I'm not sure.

Well, that's like the question, "Do you still beat your wife?" If you say 'yes', you beat your wife... but if you say 'no' it implies that you've beaten her in the past.

Anyway, in the interests of keeping ANYONE from being smote/smitten/smit...

Please reference my above statement where I prefer 'penii' to 'penises' because it sounds cooler.
