Flist - I'm going to fire some of you! So last night I followed a link provided by [livejournal.com profile] aswanargent - and okay, I could have been watching Farscape instead of going clickety-click but I do have a good explanation, which I'll spare you because man, I'm already digressing right this second and this could turn into a novel before you even realise I had a point to make! - and I found myself - yes, I'm back to the original sentence, now - over at [livejournal.com profile] cesperanza's LJ where I decided to spend some time. So I'm going through her posts, minding her my own business when WAIT A MINUTE, what the hell is that? What? I'll tell you what - or else I wouldn't be writing this entry. That was a brand new Dead Zone story! And not any kind of DZ story, guys - which would have been beautiful in and of itself already btw, because, like, the DZ fandom? Doesn't exactly crawls under fics, you know *hugs [livejournal.com profile] scifiroots some for her own contribution* No, it was another Walt/Johnny - my second OTP in that series - and it was 200k long! I thought I was gonna cry.

Actually, I did think I was gonna cry because turns out it was also het - read, not in flashback but as part of the main storyline - and I'm afraid I'm quite single-minded as far as DZ threesome is concerned, ie I'm all for the Bruce/Johnny/Walt hotness but replace Bruce by Sarah and it doesn't have the same flavour. So when it's a sorta ménage à trois with Sarah, well, it just wasn't the same. I do like her character - and actually like her with Walt in canon - but fanon my Johnny only belong to a) Bruce, b) Walt or c) both. But anyway, the story was good, the sex was hot and there were all those DZ themes I enjoy so much, so it was okay ;-) But it still reminded me how much I like knowing beforehand what pairings the story will play with *nodnod*

Oh and a little meme I found amusing - blaired from [livejournal.com profile] wisdomeagle, I think:

1. Number One OTP that is truly THE ONE TRUE PAIRING - withstanding the test of time and fandom whoring: Alright, well I have to go with Jim/Blair here. I'm trying something new, ie really trying to answer the question and pick one OTP over the other - so I won't mention Jack/Daniel. See me not mentioning Jack/Daniel. Though no, to be honest, even though they're close - the almost-sitting-on-each-other's-lap kind - Jim/Blair is #1a.
2. Your OTP today: Jim/Blair
3. Baby’s first OTP: *scratches head* As in, the OTP that I started with? Duncan/Methos
4. That Rare Pairing that you Love: Bruce/Johnny or Walt/Johnny. What? I know I said I was trying something new and picking one answer instead of two and all. Well, I did. Try, I mean. Where were you when I answered #1?
5. Character you pair off with almost anyone: *thinks* Wesley for FPS and David Wenham for RPS.

And for honesty's sake, the meme originally had seven questions but I deleted #5 and #6 because I thought they were lame, I mean, they weren't fun.

And more Mafalda quotes for those who enjoyed them yesterday *g*

Notes: Miguelito et Susanita sont deux autres amis de Mafalda - pour information, le but premier de Susanita c'est de se marier et d'avoir des enfants - et Guille est le petit frère de Mafalda.

Miguelito: *allongé par terre*
Mafalda: *approche* Ca te reprend? Te voilà de nouveau allongé à attendre que la vie t'apporte quelque chose, Miguelito?
Mi: Non, Mafalda, cette fois, j'ai songé à toutes les usines, les routes, les fermes, les barrage, les boutiques, les hôpitaux, les bibliothèques, les musées, les laboratoires, les bureaux, les theâtres...
Ma: Et alors?
Mi: J'en conclus que tout a été fait et que pour le moment, je peux me reposer.

Mafalda: *vient de se réveiller* Bonjour maman. Sais-tu s'ils ont fini par interdire les armes nucléaires?
Raquel: J'ai peur que non, Mafalda, pourquoi?
Ma: Oh pour rien, pour rien.. mais ce serait bien agréable de se lever un matin et de découvrir qu'enfin sa vie ne dépend que de soi.

Susanita: *habillée comme une dame, assise à une petite table* Aie, aie ,aie, on a bien papoté! Il est excellent votre thé Madame Mafalda.
Mafalda: Merci Madame Susanita.
S: Mais dites moi donc, auriez-vous quelque idée de ce que la mode nous réserve pour cette saison?
M: Et bien à ce que j'ai lu, il parait que l'injustice se portera encore bien, avec quelquess atrocités croquignolettes pour l'agrémenter.
S: *se lève en colère et quitte la table* Il y en a, je ne sais pas pourquoi elles veulent jouer à la dame si elles ne sont pas capables de décoller du réel!

Susanita: *en train de rêver* Des enfants! C'est tout ce que je demande à la vie *se tourne vers Mafalda* Parce que l'appartement, la voiture, le frigidaire, la machine à laver, la télé, je les demanderai à mon mari. Je ne suis pas idiote.

La Maitresse: *pose question à la classe* Notre pays est un des principaux producteurs de...?
Mafalfa: Pessimistes.
Plus tard:
M: *rentre à la maison* J'ai eu un zéro de sincérité!

Susanita: *assise sur un banc avec Mafalda* Hier soir, ma mère a voulu brancher la télévision, rien à faire! Alors tout le dîner et toute la soirée jusqu'à l'heure d'aller au lit, sans télé *machonne une feuille* Hier soir, j'ai compris combien mes parents sont ennuyeux!

Miguelito: *en train de jouer avec un petit avion* Je n'arrive vraiment pas à comprendre qu'il y ait des types capables de monter à bord d'un bombardier et de liquider de milliers de gens d'un seul coup!
Mafalda: *en train de faire de la peinture* Si seulement tout le monde pensait comme toi, Miguelito!
Mi: *pense*
Ma: *peint*
Mi: Parce qu'avec un fusil bon... au moins, ça a le mérite du travail artisanal.

Celle là parce que j'adore le petit frère de Mafalda:

Raquel: *vient de voir une tache sur le rideau* Guille!
Guille: *approche*
R: Guille. Peux-tu me dire d'où vient cette tache?
G: Comment? Tu zais pas? Les taches, c'est les grands zéant qui les font! Zé vrai! C'est un zéant très, très grand, tout zale qui l'a apportée izi.
R: *prend la main toute tachée de Guille dans la sienne*
G: Za? Za c'est en lui donnant le pouboire.

PS: I have tomorrow off! And then It's The Weekend. And then it's Bank Holiday - so that makes four, count 'em four days off work, wheee!

j'adore tes citations Mafalda! Trop chou!

that being said, I honestly thought you had been watching Farscape for a loooong time, so yesterday I was a bit surprised lol

J'adore Mafalda, sérieusement, les perso me font mourir de rire et ils sont trop adorables!

I honestly thought you had been watching Farscape for a loooong time, so yesterday I was a bit surprised lol

Well, I can't fault you for thinking that - I'm sorta famous for watching pretty much every single show under the sun, admittedly lol

it's kinda disappointing in a way... I dunno... it just always seems like you've seen everything before everyone, and NOW other people on my flist have seen Farscape way before you... This is... unsettling...

I think I'll erase that information from my personal HD - I want you to remain pure in your geekdom. then again it's not like you erased the LJ creation incident to preserve my 'good friend' image

That sounded a little too easy is all, but when it comes down to it, yeah, you were definitely just being yourself lol

Aaaaaaaaah Guille is very cute! And I also have Monday off. Cool huh? And w00t! I HAVE BROADBAND. Finally.

From: [identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com
I adore Guille. Mafalda, Miguelito and Guille are my favourites among the Mafalda crowd *g* Though the others crack me up a lot too. Susanita in particular with her wifey obsession lol

Actually, Guille reminds me a bit of both Linus and Rerun... and considering they're my favourite characters in the Peanuts, well, that's saying a lot *g*

And enjoy your Monday off - as well as your broadhand, yay! How did you live without it for so long?

How did you live without it for so long? I didn't. (See recent post).

Date: 2005-08-11 09:29 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com
I didn't.

That's the kind of answer I was expecting from a true internet addict *cheers*

(See recent post)

And I'm slowly getting there, yay!

I couldn't agree more, and I also like warnings too because I don't like deathfics ^^;!

From: [identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com
I'm all about warnings myself. Put behind a space for people who don't like them eventually, but included somewhere. I mean, they're either a warning not to read the fic - usually deathfic, too - or an incentive - usually non-con and dark stuff *cough*

lol Trop fort! Les grands esprits se rencontrent! I read Dirigo yesterday before going to bed! It was great even with the het and, coming from me, that's saying something.
Have you read The Big Picture also by Speranza? I love it!

Love the mafalda quotes, btw! *g*

Whoa, you answered a meme in the correct manner and without cheating. Are you feeling okay? ;)

Have a good weekend, four days off, woo!

From: [identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com
Well, I did have a headache for most of the day yesterday, so I'm wondering if I didn't sorta strain myself too much with the whole non-cheating thing *nodnod*

And I'm enjoying my looooooong weekend tremendously, thanks *beams*
