Jake/Adrien - yet another OTP

[castalie]

Just watched the man's team epée final and it was great - the match was beautiful, sure enough, but the comments were totally brilliant too, man they cracked me up! lol And I know, it didn't hurt that we won *eg*

Hey, I prettied up my info page a bit this evening. I changed one of the pics - I went from a Daniel pic to a Jack/Daniel one, which you'll agree is a worthy change *g* I did it with my little hands, too! And I added a brand new banner, made by babycakesin this time, which is just beautiful. It's a QAF one and boy does it look good *sigh* yami_tai made me a 'This Journal is NOT Friends Only' gorgeous banner some time ago too, and I'll keep it for later use - having talented friends is really nice lol

*peeks at the telly* Ohhh c'est le podium! *waits until the medals have been given away and -* Et La Marseillaise, woohoo.

Yeah okay so uh where was I? Ah yes, my info page! Is all pretty and I'm a happy camper *proud*

I wasn't such a happy camper today though, since I actually caught a cold and it made me feel icky all day. We even know the exact place where I caught it; ie the hospital. Yes, my sister caught it too and more serious, my granddad as well - we're hoping it's not going to be a repeat of last month but it didn't start well, there's nothing we can do though, apart from hoping it won't get too bad and the antibiotics will kick in soon *sigh*

I also thought it was pretty typical that the cold decided to show its annoying head today. I mean, I was so impatient to get the house back to myself - Godmother and Co left early this morning - and surf all day, and in the end? I had to stay a big part of the day snuggled in bed, typical! lol But I'm not complaining because a) I love being all snuggled up in my bed and b) I had A Dangerous Thing to read which I'm enjoying like you wouldn't believe *g*

I think I found another character I like as much as Daniel Hood, namely Adrien English. He's a little pain in the ass and he's sweet and smart and funny and geeky and witty and assertive too and yes, I just love him to pieces *g* Something else I love in this book? The Jake/Adrien storyline. Oh yes did I forget to mention it was queer lit? Jake Riordan is a great character too, really interesting. Reminds me a bit of both Jack and Jim - only a Jack who wouldn't do his dumb routine all the time, yes the dumb act that gets on my nerves so much. So yeah, I really love this Jake tough guy ;-)

Anyway, I'm glad I picked this series even though I'm going to have to order Fatal Shadows - the first volume - again because the Caiman store 'forgot' to mention they were out of stock *sigh* And now? I really need to read the prequel because I want to see when Jake and Adrien met!

Okay I'll stop the cryptic comments, though wait, are there some Adrien English fans over here?

*frowns* I thought I had something purely fannish to say but it apparently left my mind... typical - though that was fannish enough when you think of it, just a different type of fannish. Oh well.

You're welcome, love - I'm so happy you like it! And as said in previous mail, your Jack/Daniel new pic is *perfect*! :D

can't comment on the Olympics cause I couldn't care less :P

I was really hoping I'd be able to use your original banner, so you can imagine how thrilled I was when you re-made it *g* And thanks, I'm glad you like the new look *beams*

We're really into it - winter or summer, we always end up watching them as much as we can. And during the holiday, well it's pretty much all the time lol

:D

well, the olympics without a TV is pretty much useless lol

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Seriously? I was going to mention how without a TV I wouldn't be into it either, and then I had the feeling you would say something like 'even with a TV, I wouldn't be into it, honey, the Olympics just don't do it for me', and I thought, what the point? lol

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

*high fives* me? Oh no, I love seeing the national anthems and everything! I love seeing them happy after winning and crying when they get the medal - it's just that I haven't had the occasion to see it, therefore it's hard keeping track... see, with the Euro 2004 I cared about the results and I liked listening to the game on the radio (seeing the emotions of the journalist) - but for the Olympics, if you can't see the athletes' emotions, what's the point? Some day I'll get back into it, just not this year ;)

*grins* I really like the new pics you have added to your info page, very pretty! Don't worry about not using my banner, personally I prefer babycakesin's ^_~!

I hope you, your sis and your grandpa feel much better soon *hugs*!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

You like, too? *g* And you know how I like your banner, it was gorgeous *looks at banner safely saved on its QAF US folder*

And thanks, I hope so too *hugs back*

Gah, I keep missing the fencing...That could be because I don't have cable, though...

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Too bad, it was really good. Don't they air the Olympics elsewhere than the cable? I mean, free networks and everything? Or was fencing just aired over there and you get to see the rest?

[wolfwoodglomper.livejournal.com]

They air them on broadcast, but I think they've only been airing fencing on cable...=(
