Follow up to the 50 Shades of Grey post…

So, MIND BLOWN. “50 shades” is really a Twilight fanfic written by the same author who decided to publish the story, but because the Twilight universe is copyrighted (obviously) she just changed the names. I read that fic a year a go. It’s called “Master of the Universe.” I’ve just searched for it online, and it has been removed presumably because it’s now a published work people have to pay money for. I feel like I’m in some kind of private club… haha I’m sure hundreds of people have read the same fic. (Hense the brilliant idea to change the names and publish it as a real book for lonely housewives to enjoy while their husbands aren’t home.) In any case, there we are. My brain is freaking out.

I swear to God 50 Shades of Grey is EXACTLY like this Twilight fanfic I read about a year ago. Clearly, the fanfic author used the story because the characters in the book lend themselves very well to canon pairings in Twilight. (Edward/Bella and Rosalie/Emmet, etc). Anyway, I did not know this when I bought 50 Shades and I’m reading it now knowing exactly what happens and feeling weird because the characters aren’t the same. What a bizarre feeling that only nerds would have the danger of feeling. C’est La Vie.

She’s pretty much perfect as Ygritte. I was so happy this week when she finally said “You know nothing Jon snow.”

These are all the clothes I’ve gained too much weight to wear. I am going to keep them until I can wear them again. Hopefully, I can sport them again soon.

Makes me sick. knowhomo: (following from Washington Post) North Carolina passes gay marriage ban Amendment One Posted by Rachel Weiner at 09:17 PM ET, 05/08/2012 North Carolina voters have passed a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage today via a statewide ballot measure, according the Associated Press. North Carolina already had a statute banning gay marriage. Amendment One declares that “marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this state” — vague language that opponents say could threaten domestic partnership protections for all couples while closing the door to any sort of same-sex unions. Twenty-eight states have constitutional amendments that ban gay marriage; another ten ban it by statute. Until today, North Carolina was the only state in the South did not have a constitutional ban. While the country is about evenly split on gay marriage in polls, supporters have yet to succeed at the ballot box. Statewide ballot measures on gay marriage have come up 31 times since 1998. Advocates for gay marriage lost each time. Amendment One opponents were better funded than Amendment One rivals. But Jeremy Kennedy, campaign manager for the anti-amendment Coalition to Protect North Carolina’s Families, told The Fixbefore the results came in that too much of that money came late in the race.

Makes me sick.
