Prepare for randomness

For I am high on exercise, and I'm trying to avert a case of module choice "argh panic"'s. This is due to me having chosen modules I like for next year, but they are not in the subject areas that I'm best in so I don't know if I should change them or what.

Unfortunately this is nothing new, I go through the same thing every time I make a decision. I hate making them for a reason.

I also have a reason to actively despise Simon Cowell and the entire Pop Idol thing rather than just the usual indie kid hatred. The grandson of the daughter of a friend of my Nan's was involved in the latest variation (the X-Factor with Cowell, Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne) and didn't get through.

And the worst of it is it's not because he can't sing, it's because he's utterly unmarketable. This is not fair.

I hope the programme is a huge dud.

Then we get to the question of whether I should write Kidman fic based on the present storyline or not.

Part of me says no, it's bad to make something of a bad thing i.e. Chavo's concussion.

But part of me says go for it because it's one of the few times where I can understand things which are happening from personal experience.

When I was a little younger, I accidentally fractured the arm of a friend while we were playing rugby. Which was bad, especially as it was her writing arm. And even though this was six or seven years ago, I still feel guilty which I know sounds crazy.

Also, and at roughly the same time, in ju-jitsu we were learning a move called a corner throw, which was kind of like a cross between a vertical suplex and a monkey flip. My problem wasn't doing it, it was taking it because there was a certain velocity needed to complete it and since I was heavier than the rest of them they found in hard to throw me hard enough and I couldn't get myself over so I tended to land on them. So I used to hate having to do it and weaseled out of it as often as I could. Thankfully they took it off the syllabus not much later so I didn't have to do it.

So I kind of understand the thoughts that the situation provokes. But I'm still stuck at write what you know v avoid controversy.

On the writing front I'm writing Ric/Randy but not the Ric/Randy I want to write mainly because that fic, as with every other vaguely experimental fic I try to write, has descended into utter dreadfulness. Not helped by the OMC looking like an unnerving cross between Ric Flair and Paul London.

That and I have no idea what sort of accent the OMC has and it's bothering me. Can any of you North Americans suggest a suitable counterpoint to North Carolina? Otherwise I'll just have to make him from thereabouts.
