1. Comment with any relationship from a fandom that you know I have some knowledge about.
2. I will rant about the aforementioned relationship. This may be incoherent gushing or exclamations of disgust, depending on what it is.
3. Put this on your LJ, if you are so inclined.

I thought, considering the sheer amount of fandoms and pairings I know about, that you folks could have a good ole time with this one.

Also, I owe a tootsie pop rant to someone so here you go:



A couple of years ago, I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia, which meant that I had low blood sugar. Now, to handle low blood sugar, I had to basically give up sugar completely. So I did. And I gave up a shit load of candy goodness with it.

I had to give up Tootsie Pops.
I love Tootsie Pops.

And it made me wonder why Tootsie Pop never came out with a sugar free version of itself. Even now, when the low-carb craze is still freaking ridiculous, you can't get a sugar-free Tootsie Pop. You can get sugar-free gummi bears, sugar-free jelly beans, sugar-free chocolate, and sugar-free soda. You can get sugar-free Reese's Peanut Butter cups [another favorite], but Tootsie Pop [and Tootsie Roll] never answered the call for the sugar-free candy.

What the fuck, I ask you.
What. The. Fuck.

I think there'd be a huge market out there for sugar-free Tootsie Pops. I had a grandfather who adored them and couldn't have them because he was diabetic. I love them. Who *doesn't* love a Tootsie Pop? They're a slice of childhood, and they're chemically delicious.

And before anyone starts to argue that a sugar-free Tootsie Pop would taste weird, I have but one word for you: Splende. It is the sugar substitute that saved my sorry ass during my hypoglycemic years. You can't taste a difference.

I've just recently found out that my hypoglycemia was misdiagnosed. I actually have a gluten allergy. But can I have Tootsie Pops now? Nope. Damned Caramel coloring.

But that's a rant for a different time.

Awww, that makes me want to get rid of your gluten allergy and send you a whole box of Tootsie Pops.

And as far as the rant thing goes, how about Woody/Nigel?

How about Danny and Martin from Without A Trace?

How about Woody/Jordan, that one irks me. If i see another fic with the summary of Woody and jordan separate for a few years and now she's back with a baby and whose is it, i'll puke. My favorite pairing(bug/nigel) don't get enough notice with that crappy stuff floating around.
