scared peep

[eliade]

It's very hard just to say hello, world after two years of nowhere. If I could get away with a -6 font size that's what I'd use for this. White on white. I'm going to try to poke tendrils out though. I expect most posts to be short, inane, mundane; small talk about cats and Sherlock and the weather.

Which probably means that a response saying "Hi! I missed you!" is also going to be weird (part welcome, part unwelcome), but...Hi! I missed you!

Also...posts about cats are never mundane, for cats are infinitely interesting!

[eliade]

Strangely, the comment panic moment passed and hasn't returned yet--I just went and grilled some chicken and locked out the cats again with a mwahhahha sound. So like navigating a puddlejumper through a narrowing gate you've maneuvered into a finite window of opportunity. :)

(You can tell where my fannish clock stopped, can't you? Which was apparently just in time to miss canonical Super!Het!Rodney, thank god.)

Also, hello!

[bethbethbeth]

Rodney was just pretending to be het! Don't Ask, Don't Tell hadn't been repealed yet, and he didn't want to get John in trouble. :)

DADT is boggling my mind right now in a happy way.

And re SGA, I have to admit that when I found out he basically fell for Kaylee, it was hard to blame him. *g*

No need to reply, then, but I'm always so very glad to see you. Take care of yourself &hearts

[eliade]

I'm surfing a moment of real sociability and hoping to prolong it. so good to see YOU. *hug*

Forgive erratic caps. The spacebar on my laptop is broken and keeps bonking the other keys. Typing is kind of hell, but hey.

I haven't read LJ in 2 years. I've probably missed major life events for everyone I know and v-knowish. I hope you're well.

Are you really Mrs. Youngmark now? It's so retro-adorable. :) I've been thinking of you a lot. *hug*

[the_emef]

<3 very nice to see a post of yours ; no need to reply

[eliade]

*hug* I'm soccer-player-shoving my way past nervousness at the moment. :)

[the_emef]

looking forward to small talk about cats and Sherlock!

[eliade]

I love your icon. Have you read wordstring's stories? I'm jittering like an enzyme-crazed thing to rec them:

I'm very glad to see you.

[eliade]

I'm surprising myself by feverishing glomming on commenters. *blush* *HUG* Soon I will crash after being up all night and the cats will come and have their way with my blanket-covered lump, pinning me in place for 4-6 hours, so...that might have bin a non sequitur. Anyway, HELLO!

::HUGS BACK::

[laurashapiro]

Glomming is good! I support glomming!

My cat kept me up all night, so I kind of envy you, really. (:

HELLO!

To be sure, the nosy cat totally does that too. I can be 98% asleep wearing ear plugs and a sleep-mask and yet I sense it immediately when he sits on my bedside table six inches from my head and simply stares at me. Never mind that he and Piggy also leapfrog across my prone body in the small hours. It's the staring that gets to me....

[flaming_muse]

We like posts about cats, Sherlock, and the weather! Post any time. :) We will be happy to see you.

[eliade]

I just read a story with this sentence in Sherlock's POV:

John reading at the end of the bed like a lovely little cat.

It's more breathtaking in context, maybe. Sort of like a squee compressed to haiku form.

[flaming_muse]

Oh, that's lovely. Sherlock is usually written as the more feline of the two (and perhaps he is, but he's a sleek, opinionated Siamese, and John is more of the slightly scruffy tomcat who never leaves your side, quietly watches newcomers through sleepy eyes, and has unexpectedly sharp claws), but I love the unconscious condescension of Sherlock seeing John as akin to a pet, though obviously he's more than just something amusing to own, too. (Moriarty was almost right about that.)

That's a great line, yes. :)
