Australia is OOC

Dude, what's with the cold, rainy Christmas? I don't mind bushwalking in the rain (though it's not ideal), but if I don't get to hang out by the pool one last time when I go home, I'm going to be pissed.

Finished my Christmas shopping (or at least, the part I needed to get done before Christmas). I still need something to get for my mum, and Jeremy's parents, and I wanted to buy Jeremy more gifts, but I'm broke. And I feel like I have a million things I have to get done before we leave tomorrow, though technically I can do some of them up in Sydney, as long as I can get computer time.

Mightygodking posted a rant about so-called "nice guys," which is definitely worth reading. My favourite part of the original diatribe came in the middle, and he answers it far more succinctly than I could:

You ignored the nice guy. You used him for emotional intimacy without reciprocating, in kind, with physical intimacy.

See, this is the part where I went “holy shit,” because normally in “I Used To Be A Nice Guy” type rants, this sentiment is only implied, a nasty little undercurrent of malicious envy and spite. But this guy comes right out and says it: if a guy acts friendly towards a girl, the girl has a moral duty to fuck him.

Seriously. All of which makes me very glad I found a good guy, not a Nice Guy. And also sums up the problem I have with a few characters in various fandoms, aka. Why Landry Kinda Creeps Me Out (though I haven't seen most of FNL S2 yet, so that could change).

Anyway, Merry Margaritamukkah, and good luck under the mistletoe :D
