it's a rainy school night, we've got to fight the elements

Feb 28, 2005 01:00

Actually, temperatures are dropping like gravity outside and it's supposed to snow again tomorrow. Last time, only a few days ago, it snowed all day and I went to class and walked the pretty way to Georgetown to buy papers, down by the riverfront where I set the final scene of the first slash story I ever finished ( Read more... )

Damn. Just, day-um, stretch it out into two syllables like the Deep South because goddamn if I hadn't been waiting for that threesome for, like, ever.

Yeah, I'll just go to bed now. Suddenly the hockey slash thing I've been poking away at depresses me. Literally I can type just fine, but metaphorically I'm two-finger-hunt-and-pecking compared to you, dude. *genuflects*

Too stalker to get one and give it to the boy in Phoenix?

Nah. I gave him a SpongeBob lipbalm in '03. SpongeBob was surfing on the label. Too perfect! He liked it. It sparked a quick conversation about pineapple (that was the balm flavor) and he said that he likes the smell but doesn't eat them. Which then sparked some funny banter with my friends later as we pondered this tidbit in relation to Samantha Jones' "Sex and the City" commentary on funky spunk. Ah, good times. :-D

Cool. :-) He's totally a grown-up kid, loving to get gifts and such. :-P Another time I gave him some jelly bracelets because the ones he had didn't glow in the dark, which bummed him out. lol So I found some that did. Woo-hoo! The lipbalm was totally random luck - thank you, Avon! :-P

You know what I think about the awesomeness of the threesome fic -- the last little bit of sentence at the end of section 2 is bugging me on the re-reading since it feels like voice-shift, but I'm not sure if there's stuff earlier in the paragraph that I'm missing because I've apparently turned into you with the insomnia but not with the working brain part.

Also, man. There is not enough necking in baseball fic. There is something really, really appealing about baseball players just necking with each other like crazy like they're back in middle school and at a makeout party that just happens to take place at a stadium, so yes. Thoroughly appreciate the necking. I also appreciate that we get follow through the whole arch of the story/season/relationship from beginning to end. It's nice to see narrative structure.

Keri theorizes that Mulder has adopted his new hairstyle, by the way, with the tiny, fine little spikes because his hair is thinning. Moral of the story? Billy only wants pitchers who can keep a full head of hair.

feelya on the necking. i think regression is key. the mental ages of all of them has to be in teh realm of fourteen years old, it's the best way to be.

and okay, if mulder isn't doing the spiky deal because his hair is thinning, he will be soon enough. that shit is burning his hair to the root, i am, like, pained to see it.

harden barely has hair. i am beginning to think crosby has the widow's peak from hell and followed huddy's example. haren and zito more than make up for everyone, though. vision of an AU set in the early sixties, with haren and zito the nascent hippies and all the rest of them the straight-laced traditional types.

My future husband definitely has the Tim Hudson special, and it could be TOTALLY UNFORTUNATE in combination with the pattern baldness thing that men in my family have, but I'm sure that the kids will be able to deal. It's not like they're going to be able to COMPLAIN or anything.

"Just borrow some from Uncle Danny, OK? He has plenty to share."

Have you heard about Zito's new protege? The surfer SoCal lefty who also has the changeup-curve-hahafastball mix? Audrey gave me the heads-up on him, and the dude sounds totally nice, but I read that he is a Rule 5 claim from ST. LOUIS OR SOMETHING and now all I can think is Iago, Iago, Iago, Iago.

PS: I am, at the moment, DL'ing a bootleg of an Aracde Fire show. Sadly, it is the Philly one you went to, and I don't think it includes any of the encore tracks, but it's sti -- OK no good trying to pretend that I have gotten over my rampant jealousy.

zito has a protege? that's just not right. like, his advice: 'just pitch, like. better that you're pitching now. okay, smoke break!' what's the kid's name, though? i feel like the rotation is probably pretty set, or close to being so, so prolls we won't see too much of the prot.

ps, did i tell you that me adn a friend of mine have a fantasy team now? which i was skeptical about, because, like, the obsession has kinda reachced fever pitch already, and maybe i don't need to aggravate that. anyway, we drafted a fucking good team. pujols, sheffield, matsui (the good one), crosby and kotsay to represent the west coast, and our one-two is jason schmidt and a certain tim hudson (which is going to be trouble for me, considering i still have to root against the braves), and then john smoltz in teh back of the rotation.

and, like, other players too that i can't remember right now. anyway, it should be exciting.

ahahahah BURN WITH JEALOUSY.

Damn. I don't even know where to start.

He kept trying to call Mulder and eventually Zito left a decidedly unapologetic message, “Dude, fucking chill, it’s not like he cares,” but that was the problem, that was the only problem that Bobby Crosby had ever had.

So, like, ooowwwww. I mean, this, the Mulder and Crosby thing, it's all kinds of heartbreaking, and heartbreakingly perfect at the same time. I really liked the part where Crosby's drunk and falling apart at Zito's, and yeah, like Rhod said, the necking was really nice, too. And Mulder jerking him off with Zito right the fuck next to him and carrying on a conversation? Okay, so basically I pretty much loved all of it, you get the picture.

And then there's the threesome thing. Which is like, ten shades of awesome and amazing. That kind of left me speechless, like, I don't know what to say. But you cannot be ashamed, because that does a disservice to the fucking brilliance of it. Really, that threesome is just too perfect and it had to be written sometime. At first when you said ( ... )

dude! i feel all better about writing threesome filth now. if i ever do it again (which i doubt), prolls it would take place right after, but it was very painful as is, i wasn't trying to make the thing worse.

anyway thanks. you're fantastic.

Oh fercrissakes, you hadda go and hurt Bobby Crosby, huh? *cuddles Crosby* S'OK kiddo, the mean Mulder isn't there anymore, you can do nice things with that nice Harden boy and everyone will be alright.

Mulder was thinking that whoever had invented a liquor that tasted like candy might as well have just named it ‘To Get Barry Zito Hammered.’

Oh, too awesome.

Also, threesome? Most perfectest thing ever in, like, concept. It Was Meant to Be, but of course they'd be awkward about it and of course they'd have to be entirely hammered and of course it would just be that once. Unless they got entirely hammered again, in which case, hey, more stories? *hopes*

i had to hurt bobby crosby. had to! he just asks for it, with his rookie ways.

and, ps, you seriously hit hte theory behind the threesome on the head. i see, like, no way in which they would be able to deal with the repercussions.

but thanks, man.

Which is true, but unfortunate, because all three of them? Is maybe the hottest thing ever. Unless, no, wait... no, pretty much the hottest thing ever. Pity they have to be all stodgy about it.
