Drifting so long...

So, I'm currently working on my analysis of Teacher's Pet. But it keeps turning into OMG! I love B/X so much, they are the bestest never-quite-a-couple ever! Which, while fun for me, is not so much analysing as it is just plain squeeing. It's the virgin thing. It really does tickle me pink that Buffy assumes that Xander's not a virgin, because he's so very a virgin, you know? And then I go off on the entire B/X thing and how Buffy's view of Xander is actually almost as pedestal-y as his view of her, just in a completely different way. Because it's respect and admiration that lasts through fights and loss and pain and even betrayal.

You know, I think I've figured out why I, personally, am so drawn to that kind of dynamic. Curious people are fascinated by what they don't understand. The sheer bravery involved in being that kind of a friend just amazes me on so many levels. Sexualizing it almost makes it easier to deal with. It takes it out of the realm of the spiritual and makes it earthy and understandable.

Because I started not needing the sex in stories so much once I got a friend like that in person. Because I'm starting to understand how friendship works (yes, wonderful that I'm finally getting this at twenty-two... still, better than never learning). Because I'll just say this here -- my childhood taught me that nothing is stable.
( and we get very personal again... (does contain extensive mention of the recent Jossverse wank, but it's about my childhood and personal issues) )

It took me until today to find out that House is a medical show. And it was only last week that I learned that House is, apparently, the name of the main character.

So, it's a show about someone called Doctor House. For some reason, this really amuses me.

Mental image: A building holding a scalpel and leaning over to cut open this tiny person in front of it.
