I've quoted it before. And I've quoted it again. And again. And again. And a few months from now, I'll probably quote it again.

So here it is.

Actor Ian McKellen, who plays Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings films, says on his Web site: "I find nothing harmful in sharing fantasies about favourite characters or their interpreters even real person stories seem unobjectional as they are clearly fictional."

and that's all I have to say about that.

lol is he from Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter? If so, then that's probably why. :\

you've never seen any of the Lord of the Rings movies? Gandalf? (among 21342359234234 more projects, srsly) da vinci code too, 'sa recentish one :D

[laurondo.livejournal.com]

Never seen Lord of the Rings, lol. I never really had any interest in them. I have seen Da Vinci Code though!

[deutschtard.livejournal.com]

also magneto in X-men ;)

Ian is made of awesome :D

[laurondo.livejournal.com]

OH! I know who he is now! Thanks. :D

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

He is but he's from other things to ... which I can't think of off the top of my head but more importantly he's SIR IAN MCKELLEN. *nods*

[deutschtard.livejournal.com]

Best Week Ever is one of the few shows on VH1 that I'll actually watch (when/if I get the chance).
and they apparently have their own website: BWE. it appears they have full eps of the show on there...maybe only the most recent...not sure.
and there's a slew of clips and stuff on youtube. my favorite clip being this one of John Mayer doing a 'Chocolate Rain' remix.
don't know if it's still as funny as when it first came on, seeing as I haven't seen it in a while...

As long as you like it :)

i read most of it. i so want to go to her journal and comment. 'cause like she said in hers, calling hers "my little corner of the internet." ....well, i'm not into the supernatural RPS fandom, but i'm in others(as I currently roleplay Finnish metal band RPS slash >:3), and that's in OUR little corner of the internet. we, mostly, don't go into hers and tell her "EW HET SUX" or anything else she's doing, so she doesn't need to do the same. she don't like it? s'fine. she can go to her own little corner of the internet and whine about how we're all sick disgusting perverts because pretty men having sex is pretty and we like it. -foofs and grumbles- i personally think that "straight porn" as she referenced, is mostly demeaning to women, especially the high amount of porn that features the dirty talking, like "oh yeah fuck my pussy do that hard, i'm a whore" etcetera etcetera... women are treated so terribly in most porns, it's much more fun to watch guys going at it -beams- and if they happen to play brothers on screen? love between brothers can be beautiful and breathtaking. there's a difference between the incest of
older brother: -comes into room at night and rapes-
younger brother: -traumatized for life, and now has a flawed view of "love"-

and

older brother: -honestly loves his brother and would do anything for him-
younger brother: idolizes older brother and is glad that he can share such a deep connection with him-

i believe miss "i think it makes me vomit" has not even thought that we like the second kind, and that we all write the first kind. sure it's wrong morally, but its FICTION! -quotes eddie izzard- It is a myth! it is not true! ...well it's fiction, but same thing :P

-/rant-

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

HEAR HEAR!

People annoy me. *nods*

[deutschtard.livejournal.com]

-beams- I should word it more eloquently and actually go post that to her, and hell, i'm not even INTO the fandom(not because i think they're ugly or anything, i just have no time T_T). shows how much i understand lmao


especially such closed-minded people.

[tabularassa.livejournal.com]

Amen.

[snuffkin.livejournal.com]

That's because Ian's slashing Gandalf/Saruman :X he's made of awesome ♥

[jeyhawk.livejournal.com]

I'm all in favor of blockquotes. They look very pretty with my new layout. :0P

Sir Ian is the bestest. I bet he reads slash before bedtime. ;0P

Hey Smidge! I have a favor to ask you, because you have become my go-to icon maker extraordinaire! (I know it's totally obnoxious to just come to your journal and ask, so if you would like to resign from the icon maker extraordinaire position, have your people contact my people.) I suck at making icons, mostly because... I suck at making all graphics? If you knew how many hours went into making the awful jagged edged unattractive lines on my layout, you would laugh for a week.

I was wondering if pooooossibly you wouldn't mind making me an icon that says "Jensen Ackles has had a hard life," or something along those lines? It doesn't have to have a picture, and I don't have a preference or anything if it DOES have a picture. I just... need this icon, very very badly.

[pippilottah.livejournal.com]

Huh, I didn't even know there was wank until I read this post. I'm really slow, lol.

Ian McKellen is awesome :D

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Nah, probably just busy. :)

Hello and goodnight.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I can do that and I really don't mind doing that, but it'll have to be later cos it's my bedtime. Also, are you really sure you would like me to do that because while my icons are sometimes okay, there are a helluva lot of better icon makers out there who would be happy to make you one ...

[pause for break]

okay. did these. if you're not happy let me know and I'll try something else.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Hee.

I bet he does too

[pippilottah.livejournal.com]

You're up late.

Sweet dreams, darling <3

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Hell yeah he is

[winterweathered.livejournal.com]

The second one is perfect and hilarious!

I LOVE your icons, dude, usually better than anyone else's. The pictures are always clean and beautifully cropped and I love the font you like to use and I always think they look so balanced. It's really, really rare that I ever keep an icon with text on it (I'm a big fan of pictures speak louder) but yours I always love.

TOTALLY STEALING THAT SECOND ICON and I'm telling everyone they're NOT ALLOWED TO SNAG IT.

uh. i'm dumb

I'm so tired. And want to go to bed. Sorta. But then I don't cos I might miss stuff and I could totally fall asleep here but when I go to bed? I'll just lay there for a while thinking, 'boy. wish I could fall asleep here.' wah. wah. wah.
