			protecting your sanity through the careful application of porn I may look bored, but there's Due South porn going on in my head.

Friends only as of December 1st, 2007.

Sometimes I crosspost my various witty remarks - such as they are - over here at InsaneJournal. If you have an account at InsaneJournal, please feel free to add me there.

If not, then the fabulous

marginalia has created a feed that will allow you to get a truncated post on your LJ flist when I post over at IJ. You can add that feed here.

If you are George Clooney or Brad Pitt, please let me know!

	Fic: Love Him or Hate Him... -- Sports Night, Dan/Casey (for sportsbackinsn)
	Title: Love Him or Hate Him... Author: starfishchick Notes Part One: For the 2008 sportsbackinsn (Putting the Sports Back in Sports Night) challenge. The prompt was: Tony Joiner kisses Tim Tebow on the sidelines. (More notes at the end.) Length: ~1600 words Disclaimer: I own nothing, Sports Night belongs to people far more talented than me. Tim Tebow and Tony Joiner belong to themselves. I am absolutely not able to refer to Tim Tebow by only his first or last name. He is "Tim Tebow". ( Love him or hate him, the Tim Tebow incident gives the crew something to think about. ) How you feeling?: hopeful
