My brain seems to have shut down most of its function right now. Come back later for an introspective ramble on the money laundering that may be going in an anti-Muslim "non-profit" trying to shut down a mosque before it's built, and why I'm so much less surprised when conservatives pull this shit than when liberals do. And double standards in politics. And I'm exhausted just thinking about that.

Instead you get: Marry, Shag, Cliff.

inkandalchemy gave me: Jareth, Sherlock Holmes, John Constantine. There are no good choices there.
Marry - Sherlock Holmes. He, at least, is calm and stable enough to treat marriage as a social contract. We would negotiate terms, draw up a list of responsibilities, and conduct ourselves in a rational manner. When his bipolarism and drug addiction permit, but I expect he'd make a very civilized husband. Which is more than I can expect from the other two.

Shag - Jareth. He's hot. And we all know what his most famous feature is. Plus, out of the three of those, he would be the easiest to leave behind, being largely restricted to his own little pocket dimension or chaos realm or whatever it is. I'd just have to watch what I say.

Cliff - John Constantine. I wouldn't mind a shag with him, either, and I wouldn't mind too much being friends with him, but I like life. And his loved ones, or even people he brushes up against in passing some of the time, have a nasty tendency to end up dead. As badass as I can be, I harbor no illusions that sleeping with him would be a one-night or one-weekend stand as far as the forces around him are concerned. And marrying John Constantine is tantamount to mental and emotional suicide.

kikibug13 gave me: Caleb Danvers, Drustan, and Crowley (SPN or Good Omens) Argh.
Marry - Strange as it is to say, I think I'd marry Caleb. He's not so bad with the Sorcery that I'd be constantly minding him, I think. He's obviously well off, so I can write all I want. And I could deal with the magic heritage thing. And with New England. Massachusetts isn't a bad state. Also, dude. He's freaking hot.

Shag - Um. Um um. My Mark Sheppard fixation is winning here, sorry Drustan, that means you get the

Cliff - Bye bye, Drustan.

I seriously haven't had a day off since last Monday, and last week was insane at work enough. I really, really hope this week is quieter. I'm not getting a weekend this weekend either, because the my mother's former Welshman is going to be in town and wants to hang out. Oh joy. All I want to do is curl up in the apartment and sleep, and read. I have things I could be reading! And probably prep and spin, too. Maybe I'll get sick or something.

... I also might kill my mother for giving him my cell phone number and saying they would be happy to hear from you, but I might not. I don't answer my phone half the time anyway. Still. MOTHER. I was looking forward to ALL THE SLEEP. And all the spinning and reading. Maybe I'll get really lucky and he won't be able to do anything. Maybe. (OR, you know, I could remember that saying no is also permitted.)
