*Yawn* *Blink*

Feeling somewhat better this morning.

Have huge zits erupting on face. Will probably still have them when I go to see Man-Raze next week. *Grrr* Stupid hormones.

EddieFic going well. Although I did realise last night that I've called the damn thing the same as Kelpie's Eddiefic. Oh well. No rule to say that you can't have more than one fic with the same title, although if I'd realised I would have called it something else. I'm not sure whether I'm more alarmed that I'm writing this sort of vengeful violence so easily, or that people like it so much. Hmmm.

BIL kept texting me last night. He has a day off and would like to come over and... er... well, I don't think he wants to drink tea and chat. If he weren't married to my sister I'd take him up on his offer. Trouble is I'm a terrible liar, and it would be sure to get out - and as much as my sister drives me up the pole, I wouldn't do that to her.

Just my luck that my husband is a libido-less lump, and my BIL is oversexed. *Sigh*

I was really evil in my past life, I reckon.

I think that the reason people like it so much is probably because most of your readers are women, and the plot appeals to an atavistic sense of outrage in them all. Okay, so maybe that's a generalization. Truth is, rape is a touchy subject. It's a very real threat that, on some level, constrains who we are and how we behave. Justice is rarely served in such cases, particularly in a case of date rape, so to see the perpetrators, even in fiction, dealt with so deliciously well, is very satisfying. Who wouldn't want to see Justice served so well, if they were attacked in such a brutal fashion? There are not many people who would be forgiving of such a violation, though granted, some of us might have evolved enough not to wish it done so violently. That any of us can feel like that is disturbing but it doesn't make us any less human. It is what happens when whole groups are made to feel that Justice will always be qualified when it comes to crimes committed against them.

Still, it would be interesting to hear a guy's perspective.

I wholly agree with Rhi. 100%. I think rapists should be dealt with slowly and painfully, in the most degredating fashion possible. Then have their balls and dick cut off and made to eat them raw.

And...and...can you tuck me into your pocket when you go see Man-Raze?

*sniffle*

Neither he nor his Celtic partner in crime are coming anywhere near me...

*sobsniffle*

I definitely need an Eddie icon. ;) Will have to look into that. And I admit it, I've been saving your Eddiefic for reading when I'm not totally exhausted, at work, or multitasking... and, um, when it's daylight lol. But I'm looking forward to reading it this weekend!

Hugs to you regarding hubby, BIL and zits. But Man-Raze concert is good!
