So, apparently there is an *actual* freak cold snap hitting Wellington, snow on the Desert Road and all. I feel slightly less faily about the fridge-like state of g/t day 2. :-D
It was so damn cold the other night that house guest erilyn and I (who had spent the past two nights sleeping the respectful distance of two good friends in a king size bed apart) actually had this conversation:
erilyn Now that stickmarionette and blademistress are gone, I can sleep in the spare bed, and you can have your own back.
arysteia Um... I think we may have to make like fanfic and conserve body heat.
erilyn Huddle together for warmth?
arysteia Uhuh.
An hour later... We're lying that respectful distance apart...
erilyn SPOON ME!
arysteia *inches cautiously closer*
erilyn Seriously.
arysteia *huddles in, drapes arm lightly*
arysteia *begins to thaw out, cuddles more tightly*
erilyn So remember that one fanfic...
Cue an hour and a half of concrit and meta on the best fanfics of the last decade, while close spooning. After which, finally warm and toasty, we drifted off to sleep, visions of sugarplums Clark, Lex, Conner, John, Rodney et al dancing in our heads.
Then, the next day, my builder finally arrived to fix the monstrous languishing WIP that has been my apartment. I left him to it, so I could accompany the Aussies to the airport. Imagine my shock when I returned to find him *vacuuming*! I complimented the work he'd done already, and then there followed this conversation:
Builder: Wow you've got some cool stuff!
arysteia *embarrassed* *what the hell can he mean???*
Builder: Your dvd collection. All my favourite shows.
arysteia Huh.
Builder: And your action figures.
arysteia Glances over at Clark and Lex, who stand a *little* close to each other in the shadow box...
Builder: And your pictures, they're the best.
arysteia *dies* *what now???*
Builder: I can't believe you've hugged Tealc! And John and Rodney too. That is so cool! Oh, and General Hammond too!!! I love Stargate!
arysteia Huh. Well you may as well see the rest too, the ones I haven't got around to mounting... *shows*
Builder: This is the best job ever. I will do an awesome job on the bathroom too.
arysteia *God has smiled on me!* *Geeks of the world unite!* *dances and twirls*
