I Am Using My Zombie-Killing Time To...Dance.

[dodger_sister]

Listen, menel - I saw what you did on your journal. I hear you, outside my window, calling out MY UBER-AWESOME ZOMBIE-KILLING-DANCE-TEAM!! Okay?

I know, you're all, "My CIA-Zombie-Killing-Team is better because they are so pretty and my boyfriend is Scottish. And my team can only kill zombies with guns instead of their awesome athletic bodies.

Heh, heh. I was wondering about that, namely, the fact that my journal is f-locked so that your f-list is probably scratching their heads thinking, What the fuck is going on?

I'm also highly amused that you think our conversations have degenerated from 'intellectual' to a stand-off over Zombie-Killing Teams. (Have we ever had intellectual conversations? They seem to revolve around porn, unless you're suggesting that we've 'intellectualized' porn. Erm . . . no.) And the best bit about this post? The sheer logic behind the line, "Mine is better, mostly because it's mine."

ROFL.

How am I going to compete with that? *g*

Listen to Kevin, dammit! The number of comments that you've sent my way in the past 48 hours given your (supposed to be) limited internet time tells me two things:

1) You love me even more than I thought and

2) Apparently we can't live without zombies in our lives. How many more months until The Walking Dead returns

Knowing me the way they do, I think my Flist probably was just rolling with The Crazy in this post. lol

Well, there was a time, years ago, when we talked about character development and story arcs and...why Legolas is the slut of Middle-Earth. But Zombies are total serious business - I hear people can get a PHD in Zombie-Study now, so this still counts as intellectual. Right?

MINE IS BETTER!!! I think I may go see Mine perform live in person. Do you get to see Yours perform live in person? I thought not. 8p

Listen to Kevin, dammit! The number of comments that you've sent my way in the past 48 hours given your (supposed to be) limited internet time tells me two things:You are assuming I did anything else with my time-limit besides respond to your bazillion replies/comments/posts about how pretty your TV-boyfriend is!! (is this what it is like for you when I talk about Enrique? Or Jeffrey

Well, there was a time, years ago, when we talked about character development and story arcs and...why Legolas is the slut of Middle-Earth.

Legolas is still the slut of Middle-Earth but I love him anyway. I remember one of my earliest fandom goals was to plausibly slash the Elven Prince with every hot man I could find. (It's still a goal, I reckon.)

Which reminds me, are you ever going to send me our cracked correspondence that I lost when my hard drive died? Don't you have like 11 pages of that shit? Share the nostalgia! You have my email now. (And big girls like us don't cry.)

(is this what it is like for you when I talk about Enrique? Or Jeffrey Dean Morgan? Or Scott Caan? Or...yeah, you get the point).

Finally, a dose of your own medicine. My TV boyfriends are so limited compared to yours. If Legolas is the slut of Middle-Earth, then you're the slut of TV land . . . but I love you too. *g*

I posted about CHAOS earlier today. Read it 'cos I need your help!

[dodger_sister]

lol Legolas will always be the Slut of Middle-Earth! Which reminds me of a wallpaper I have in my folder from years and years ago, that still randomly rotates across my screen - so I emailed it to you. I think you'll find it funny.

I sent the email of our nostalgia on to you - now, no crying! We are punk rock and shit, remember? I skimmed through it a little before I sent it out and...

a) It looks like you had just gotten your LJ right then and you were pointing me towards it. It also looks like I have no idea what an LJ is.

b) We discovered the other one liked the X-Files and seemed to be discussing Krycek and Mulder/Krycek. Didn't we just have that discussion a few months ago too? Are we just replaying all our old conversations via LJ?

c) I was going through my Faculty phase.

d) We had both just seen the Pirates movies. The first one. And, it is still true today, that my sister thinks Jack Sparrow/Monkey is the best pairing of the whole movie

That wallpaper cracked me up! I loved how there were even objects on it (because Legolas would obviously know what to do with the Horn of Gondor). Of course, Gimli was perched on the Prince's shoulder but the irony is that Legolas/Gimli has always been a squick for me. Those two have a bromance . . . without the sex! *g*

You will be so proud of me. I read through all of that correspondence and didn't even get choked up . . . once! Ha! My reputation is intact. *preens*

I did, however, grin like an idiot the entire time and now my face muscles are a little sore. Hmm . . .

I think what amazed me about reading all that is how little we've changed. I mean, of course, we've each had major life experiences that have shaped us as people, but those emails are still recognizably us. Don't you think?

And it's bizarre (in a wonderful way) how a little correspondence can bring back memories so clearly. Like my wallet getting stolen? I remember that! And how I'd just begun teaching because I'd quit my previous job? Wow. And I'm still

It’s the Horn of Gondor, for fuck’s sake. Even I know how to fuck that! (remember the tshirts back in the day that said “I blew the Horn of Gondor? lol) You know I’ll slash anything so Legolas/Gimli was never off-limits for me - but if you ask me like what I really think beyond “Give Me More Slash!” and I would agree with you - bromance but not slashy-chemistry going on there. They are totally each other’s wingmen. Like, okay, do you watch Psych? I can’t remember. Anyway, I have actually written Shawn/Gus and I can see why people slash them but to me, they are so brother-type of thing - it’s weird how some pairings that you would think would be obviously slashy for me, just aren’t even though they totally

Seriously, where are you digging all this shit up from? LOL. I thought I had a handful of comments/threads from the stone ages over on camera_lucida, but this stuff is pretty ancient too. (Ancient by netland standards, that is. Not necessarily by our standards 'cos apparently we've gone from three weeks to three months.)

The two phrases from LotR that were never going to be forgotten by the slashers are: the Horn of Gondor and the Crack of Doom. I mean, really. Just. How can you not? LOL.

We talked about Psych a bit before. It's a show that I watch if I catch it on TV but I don't follow it religiously. It's fun and zany. I've caught some really memorable episodes though, like when Jane Lynch guest starred as Shawn's mom. She was

Plus the way you and I interact with each other - you know what’s awesome? Like, five seconds back into contact with you and we were talking like no time had past at all. It was like a weird college reunion or something where we immediately threw off our grown-up persona and were just us, again. shit, a hallmark card just fell out of my face right there, sorry

LOL. It did. Treacle aside, I hear you. I think I told you as well that how we reacted to each other is the true test of friendship for me and it's only happened with a handful of friends. You, babe, are the only person it's ever happened to 'online,' (even though I don't consider our friendship be an 'online' one - I just can't think of a better term).

I did not know you had a psycho-stalker problem. I must have missed that drama.

It's not a major drama, I reckon. Lemme try and summarize it. Basically, I have two RL friends that know about my slash habit and the existence of this journal. Both of them used to be friends on camera_lucida (one of them still is), but I never gave them the
