We don't really talk anymore

basildestinySo I've been called out of my livejournal hiatus...well spurred out of it by a meme. Not one of those tag things either. Of all memes it was a commenters meme. I was stunned to find myself in the top 10 and I haven't posted in ages and ages. So feeling guilty, I thought maybe I ought to make a post.
Firstly, I know it is late, but I was quite saddened by the news of Heath Ledger. I wasn't a fan of Brokeback Mountain. I know a lot of folks on my flist enjoyed it. I'm just not convinced a woman is the best person to write about the romance of gay men. Moreover, I wouldn't have seen it if a gay man had written it. Though I feel this comment is more of a PSA than something I would write in normal conversation, people are free to make their choices. I just like to steer clear of watching some of them. However, Michelle Williams is Jen Lindley and who doesn't love Dawson's Creek. And now Matilda doesn't have a father. So it's just sad all around.
More importantly, I realized last night that I do not have a single ship going at the moment. That saddens me. Horatio and Calleigh are so far dead I can't even read fanfic to pretend there is a spark anymore. They did share a scene this season; however, they didn't even TALK to each other. Just the suspect. The last time they spoke to one another was probably in Season 5 when she nearly drowned. I think that was Season 5. I have enjoyed the whole son storyline which is funny because I predicted it would be stupid. It is stupid, but it takes my mind off of the Calleigh thing. And I should add here that the show has gotten to be so horrible for the ships that I have actually started watching Vegas which previously I have shunned. Weir is gone for now. I'm hoping that she isn't dead and that was just a Replicator Urban Legend. I hope she comes back soon because Shep really isn't the same without her. I miss her quips about his immaturity. Sam is awesome and I want her on the show. I just also want Weir. Teyla has gone and ruined my Ronin ship, but that's ok. I was fine with that. Mostly I had that ship because they both deserved someone, but it seems that problem has been fixed. I was ready to ship Rodney and Botany girl, but that's irreparably broken now. Which was really sad, but I guess people don't want to see marriage. So that leaves me with a writer's strike and no new shows. LOCI is in repeats and it hasn't been very nice to my ship this year either with a lot of talk of Eames' husband and Bobby being labeled the depraved guy again. A nonshippery note, I do like the new detective, Alicia Witt is a blast to watch on off weeks. I don't have a ship for Heroes or Lost. Eureka killed my ship last season and is on its hiatus. BSG has been gone for a long time and I don't know what I would ship at this point anymore.
I've been clucky lately. 2008 is my 10 year high school reunion. A friend of mine had the gastric bypass surgery. Which is adding up to losing weight in 2008! My brother is going to Iraq with some company... I really should ask him the name of the company. And we're working on becoming debt free. So all in all, it is a horrible year to be clucky, but I am. It will happen when it happens, but I can't help but be hopeful when I shouldn't be wanting it at all. Did I mention I'm going to be 28 this year?!
Also a note to myself that I need to start keeping up with journaling. I'm missing out on a lot by not keeping any kind of record of it.
