So I like to think I'm a polite driver, and maybe it's just me but when someone does something nice/polite on the road for me I acknowledge, a shaka, a nod or a thank you in the mirror if it's a close nice thing. It annoyed me today, I was caught in a traffic snarl on the highway ad becuase I like to think that the whole pay it forward thing will happen (or people treat you the way you treat them) I always let a car or two in at the on ramps. It doesn't hurt since you're both at a creawl anyway right? Well by the time I got to my exit I had let 11 cars into the traffic in front of me. What did I get for my troubles? One hand wave and one flipped bird.

I was seriously like What the Hell, it doesn't cost you anything to wave a thank you.

Do y'all expect a nod or some acknowledgement of good deeds done?

I want to love you honestly I do, you're good and you're pacy and witty and you have characters that make me care but OMG every time that bleached barbie is on screen I grind even more enamel off.

I haven't read anyone's reviews, I haven't clicked on a comm, I don't want to because it usually just gets my blood pressure up, but I know things are going to come up. Two things before we start.

* Have you never lied to a partner/spouse/booty calls parent/sibling/room mate about going to work just so you don't have to chew your arm off to get out of the interrogation morning of awkward? I know I have.

* She's not on Five-0 she's not working cases, she's doing favors for Steve. And I don't think he's using her that's how the pair of them phrase it in their own language. It works for them. I'm sure if Cath had 'favors' to ask of Steve he'd do them just as rapidly as she does for him. Thats what friends do.

All that said? What did I think of this episode?

Cath is made of Awesome.

that is about all.

ETA: FYI because I know this is going to come up, Steve wasn't being sexist or wtf else he's going to be accused of for calling Danny a Girl. Deal with it people thats what men do In fact in the real world he would have called him a pussy. Again, not sexist, just.what. men. do. Hell not even men. My sister bitches at me in just that tone, in fact almost that exact conversation all the time. What? It's alright for us to do because we're female and not for blokes. Those double standards are coming back out again.

I may have committed Steve/Cath, Steve/Danny fic, follow the link if you're of a mind to Behind Every Good Man...

Oh and just in case you're concerned, the Steve/Cath is Gen/PG, I've not delved into het fic territory just yet.

I don't write Het, but with every time there is a pissy little bitchfight about the appearance of Cath I really really wish that I did.

However, I'd love to see what they would do if they found this as a spoiler somewhere on the net.

"Cath, I've been thinking. Something Danny said to me while we were out there has been bothering me and I know now what I need to do. " He takes hold of Catherine's hands and sinks to one knee...Danny asked me why i dont call you my girlfriend and... well i cant really say other than that i know that doesnt feel right. It doesnt feel like enough. "

I can almost hear the batshit crazy's head exploding from here.

Sometimes this fandom makes me ashamed to say that I'm a fan.

So most of you don't know this but I like to knit. As a result I'm on a local yahoo group email list that knits for the needy/homeless in our city. Most of the people on the list are elderly, in fact a good deal of them are nuns. Adventurous, some of them have other hobbies, like snorkelling, cycling, hiking, camping, as i found out today one of them, an 82 year old nun goes scuba diving.

Anyways, I'm digressing, there was a new member today (or if she's been there for a while I've never noticed her, and trust me I would - you would too).

Her yahoo name is MaryMuffdiver. After I'd finished choking on my Coke because I received an email from her, I had a chat with her in the groups chat room. She's an 82 year old nun, her passion outside of the church is knitting and scuba diving with the youth group attached to her church, and she knits what she calls muff's for the homeless (knitted tubelike things they can slip their hands into for warmth).

I'm not sure she realises that her name is - problematic, and im not sure if Yahoo gave it to her or one of the 'well meaning' kids in the youth group helped her, but I didn't have the heart or the expertise to explain to her why she should change it.

Lookie, I may have committed Coda to 3.03 and it's not my usual fare, it may be Chin & Steve.

Also on a random note? The Steve in my icon always reminds me of Speed Keanu, am I right?
