castaliePutain de merde, je le crois pas! I just wrote one huge entry and LJ decided to have its database unavailable right at the moment when I was going to post it and I lost it! Bloody browser which doesn't allow me to get it back - okay so let's do it again *sigh* LJ sometimes lulls me into a false sense of complacency and I forget to write my entries in a mail or notetab first.
Babycakes just left for her seminars and I'm about to leave for the uni, which means that a) we're being separated for, like, four hours and b) we won't be able to watch Lost before at least 5.00 pm *wails*
Because we already downloaded Tabula Rasa, yes oh yes! The whole process was quite hectic if you want to know. Let's picture the scene, shall we? Babycakes was checking her LJ and I was snuggled under the blanket on the couch, watching TV :

B: *frantically scans flist* Wait, I need to find Our Savior's post first.
M: *bounces* Oh man oh man. Hurry, Babycakes *whimper*
B: I can't find it - bloody posts all over my flist!
M: For God's sake, go to your info page, you'll find her there!
B: That's what I'm doing! *goes to info page, clicks on the right LJ* OMG the file is there, loook! *looks up* Sooo do I click?
M: Are you out of your mind? Don't tease me, woman, click, cliiiiiiiiick!
My best friend? Is evil.
She's also strong enough to resist the irresistible, though she had her moment of doubt. She almost didn't go to the first seminar because she wanted to see the episode right now lol But she was strong and decided to leave... pouting and all. I'm usually the best pouter but wow she beat me today! I wasn't exactly happy myself, mind, because hey Lost is right there waiting for us, and we have to wait a whole afternoon before watching it? Talk about torture!
But well, we'll watch it this afternoon. And we'll watch it once and maybe twice and maybe more -chances are we'll also re-watch 1x01 and 1x02... and afterward, there're some QAF episodes that are waiting too. So all in all, a nice program awaits us both lol
For tomorrow... hmm a movie and a restaurant might have been planned. Well, the restaurant is for sure, but I'm thinking we'll have time to go the movies after I come back from the uni and before we go the Chinese restaurant I've been dreaming of bringing her - it should do *g*
Anyway...
So how good is it to have her home? Well, it's even better than that. When I saw her at the station, I sorta ran to her - like in the movies and everything lol But it was so good!
You know one of the many things I love so much about her is how synch we are on so many levels. We're different on many things but so similar on others, it's like a perfect match. Case in point, last night? We didn't exactly do anything. We came home and went straight to the computer to have a LJ/TV/girl talk session for a couple of hours - we stopped to have dinner with the parental unit --they both love her and sometimes you have to fight to stop them from stealing the Babycakes lol-- and came back to our geeky activities. It's all cosy and stuff. One is sitting on the comfy armchair in front of Clark, checking LJ and surfing, while the other is snuggled under a blanket on the couch, watching TV or knitting in her case. We talk about everything and nothing for hours and hours and we're just... being together while doing something we love. So it's nothing extraordinary per se, but it's still special, know what I mean? *g*
Though, speaking of extraordinary things? I want it publicly said that Mrs Babycakes watched an entire episode of Star Academy [French version of Fame Academy]. So okay she didn't have a choice at first but she could have left, ya know? In particular during the commercials - at this point, she was literally falling asleep on the couch but when I asked her whether she wouldn't be better in bed, she said, and I'm not making that up : No, I want to see the fight between Enrique and Lucie. Babycakes refused to go to bed because she wanted to see the announced fight between two of the participants! And I know you don't realise how big a deal it is, but you need to know that she usually forbids me to even mention that show in her presence, so that was just hilarious for me lol
And finally, I'm joining the bandwagon. This is the meme where I make a list of the first lines of some of my fanfics and then people who want to play write drabbles in the comments with the same first line. Oh and guys? Slash, gen or femmeslash, but no het, please? Thanks *kisses*
As I watch him sleep, I can't help thinking about our last case.
Excuse me?!
I had Blair exactly where I wanted him.
Flesh meeting flesh in a frantic rhythm.
I didn’t know what scene I was going to witness when I entered the loft, but I had enough experience in my line of work to realize it wouldn’t be pretty.
In the silence of the room, the quiet sobs sounded like screams of agony to Jim's sensitive ears.
I’m not gay.
I said no, Sandburg.
You smell of them, Daniel.
Things hadn’t gone as planned; but then, Jack was used to it.
I always thought it was funny how the simplest, the most mundane things could bring back the most repressed memories.
I had a bad feeling about those people.
I? Like long sentences as first lines apparently. Then again, I sometimes go for short and concise. So yeah, I don't follow any rule, all right lol

“Excuse me?”
Charlie looks up at the words, acknowledging them with a curt nod, before staring down once more. He tries to concentrate on Sayid’s question, but the shakes make it impossible.
Clenching his fists, short jagged nails dig into soft skin and he focuses on the sting, a focal point in a body that’s beginning to betray him.
When the first spasm hits he falls, curling up tight, moaning against the sand that feels gritty against his lips. Lost in a sea of pain, his only anchor to the real world the feel of Sayid’s hand against his back.

As I watch him sleep, I can't help thinking about our last case. We had been told to find some drugs for the wounded - I had volunteered, of course. I'm not insane, I know my personal reserve won't be enough to cover me until the rescue team arrives (as Sayid says, we mustn't lose hope, and if he says so, well, I'm more than inclined to do as he says). We found some amphetamines in that last case (there must have been more than one doctor aboard after all - good thing at least one survived). Hurley warned Jack, but he didn't need them anymore. So he stored them in the 'hospital tent'. As soon as Sayid falls asleep, I'll go and get some of it. If I'm careful enough, no one will notice the disappearance of it... I just have to wait for Sayid's breathing to get even, then I'll go for it - and pray for him never to find out I'm a drug addict. I'm pretty sure he would be able to make me quit - I just don't want him to see me like this.
***
Voilà - it's unbetaed (obviously) but at least you have Charlie, Sayid and drugs. This being done, I'd just like to say to everyone that yes, the dialogue really happened. And yes, I watched Star Academy *facepalm*
Love you, babe *smootches* I can't tell you how happy I am to be here :D

And then I had Blair on the floor in front of the fireplace.
And then I had Blair in the shower.
And then I had Blair on the dining table with some of that hot fudge sauce he usually dosen't let me indulge in dribbled across his delectable ass.
And then I had Blair bent over the back of the couch.
And then I had Blair on the futon, but that was kinda cramped so…
Then I had Blair in my bed, which is way roomier.

Date: 2004-10-07 07:00 pm (UTC)The girl smiled at him unpleasantly. "Well, according to half the school you are!"
"Oh bollocks, stop this drivel, will you", Stuart quipped from where he was leaning against the wall.
Vince had always known Stuart was not an easy person to be around. He wasn’t sure whether to be proud, happy, or anxious, as Stuart strode over and clamped his lips over Vince’s in a passionate kiss.
"Only half the school? Not nearly good enough", Stuart grinned.

Hee. Spent some time hunting for an inspiration about a pairing that you might actually like, and seeing as QAF(UK) is on your interests list... :D
Re: QAF(UK), Stuart/Vince
Date: 2004-10-08 01:46 pm (UTC)And that was just so Stuart and Vince! Spot on, girl *g*
I surprised myself...
Date: 2004-10-07 07:32 pm (UTC)I had an idea immediately. But then it switched on me (started out Jim-voice, changed to Blair-voice), and then it went over a drabble, so I figured to go for a double-drabble. Man, that's hard; this is the first time I've tried to match an exact word-count, and I had to keep adjusting and refining. But here you go; hope you like.
As I watch him sleep, I can't help thinking about our last case. He was incredible, using his senses like I always knew he could. But I didn't get to see it; I had to hear about it second-hand. I'm told he was in the groove, hitting on all eight cylinders; he found the tiniest bits of evidence with ease, and wove the pieces into the pattern that led the gang to the perp. Our friends are amazed and baffled, but willing to overlook the mystery, because when they found the perp, they found -- me.
He didn't sleep for three days. Now, he needs me in his senses and... I need him. When I startle awake from the memories, it's a comfort to see him so close. That's how tired he is -- my waking doesn't wake him, though I know that if I whispered his name, he'd be with me in an instant. So I watch him in the sleeping bag next to my bed, and listen to his quiet little snores, and I hold on to the certainty that kept me balanced for those terrible days. He found me. He'll always find me.
I love you, Jim.

Re: I surprised myself...
Date: 2004-10-08 01:52 pm (UTC)The love Blair has for Jim is palpable in this story of yours, as his Jim's love for him and dedication - it's really beautiful to see. The description of Jim is just so... so perfect. It's like I'm seeing him, right here right now. It's so full of love and admiration that it's pretty humbling too. Also love how Blair knows he just has to whisper Jim's name to have the Sentinel takes care of him in spite of his obvious exhaustion.
You are so good for my ego...
Date: 2004-10-08 08:43 pm (UTC)You see a greater depth in the story than I did when I wrote it! I'm not actually sure it's there in all the detail you envision, but I'm glad that it speaks to you so clearly. Thanks for letting me know.

Jim demanded equal time.
Date: 2004-10-08 12:21 am (UTC)As I watch him sleep, I can't help thinking about our last case. I was afraid I'd lose him forever. Thank God the senses worked like he always said they could -- feeding me all the information I needed, no zones or spikes however hard I pushed. The rest of Major Crimes helped, providing backup for the senses as well as more mundane detective work. There weren't too few clues, but too many; the man was masterful at planting red herrings. But we did it; unraveled the threads and followed them to the end. To Blair.
I don't want to let him farther away than arm's length; I can barely let him take a piss by himself. So here I am. The sleeping bag is comfortable enough, and I only have to open my eyes to see his face, battered but whole. Even before I look, I can hear him, scent him; his presence is the safety net for my very being. As I am his. I'll never forget the look of trust in his eyes, underlying the relief that we had arrived. He knew I'd find him. I'll always find him. The alternative is unthinkable.
I love you, Blair.

Re: Jim demanded equal time.
Date: 2004-10-08 01:54 pm (UTC)Thank you for playing, I mean... I'm loving those two drabbles like you wouldn't believe *g* It's just... I can't get enough of stories that tell the love those two men share, and you wrote it beautifully. I'm re-reading the second paragraph over and over lol
Re: Jim demanded equal time.
Date: 2004-10-08 08:52 pm (UTC)>>>Thank you for playing<<<
What can I say? The moment I read that first line, my muse jumped up and started demanding a story. She kept me up late, too, to write both parts.
>>>I'm loving those two drabbles like you wouldn't believe *g*<<<
Ah, gee. Wiggling like a puppy, here.
>>>It's just... I can't get enough of stories that tell the love those two men share, and you wrote it beautifully.<<<
I feel the same; I'm touched that my words show it to you so clearly. Thanks for letting me know.
