Hardcore J2 shippers scare me!

I'm not talking about people who write and read the fic. Jensen's hot. Jared is hot. If you like boys who dig boys, the idea of them together is damn hot. I've read a bit of J2, and I worked out it's not my thing, but if it's yours more power to you.

It's the people that are SO invested in them wanting to be together in real life that worry me. Analysing every photo and interview (OMG - did you see how Jared borrowed Jensen's pen??? You don't use the pen of someone you're not totally comfortable with!!! Teh luv is so real!!!) and slagging off their wives for absolutely no reason. Why? It doesn't affect the quality of your fantasy life for them to be married - just pretend they're not. And your fantasy life is the only thing that's affected by this.

If the hardcore J2 shippers are right, then their two favourite actors are so deeply conflicted over their sexuality that they've roped two innocent women into sham marriages for the sake of preserving their public images, even though it's now extremely possible for popular actors to come out of the closet and remain popular. I, personally, LIKE these actors, and I don't want to believe they're so deeply unhappy. If they are, I'm sorry for them and I hope they get help. But until then, I'm going to believe they're the happy, well-adjusted, dear friends they appear to be.

They really are. Today was one of those days when I just love my job.

Two of the other English teachers are going to have a baby. One little girl in my class asked if the baby would be Japanese. I said no, the parents need to be Japanese to have a Japanese baby. Their baby will be white. Her face went all wrinkled up and she said, "ooooh. Poor baby." It was so cute!

Then, one of my boys asked if I had a baby, would it be Japanese (they know my husband is from Japan). I said half. Naturally, the response was "What half?"

It reminds me of when one of the teachers went on mat leave a few years ago. One of the students signed her card with "I hope it's a boy or a girl." She burst out laughing when she read it: "God. Me too!"
