Oooh, first page even! prynne12 August 14 2008, 11:28:02 UTC

I love how Peter almost seemed to be indulging his inner teenage girl--he goes from feeling inadequate to the task of working with the Met in London to convincing himself he's better off not going anyway because he's better in Kendal. I love it!

More to the point, I love the fact that he's feeling comfortable enough with Rose to invite Elias and Ruby out for a get-together while he's in her milieu.

Ruby, incidentally, is fast becoming a favorite of mine. I love how she can say the most inappropriate things.

And lastly--I wish I were good enough with images to construct a LolPeter--because I just want to squeal a bit that "Peter has a friend!"

And clearly, I'm running on not enough sleep or caffeine this morning!

They do say "write what you know"; it's been years since I was a teenager, but, y'know... ;)

Peter's got so many coping mechanisms whirring away in the background, it's almost ridiculous. But I think it's really the only way he's managed to keep functioning in the dysfunction of NLC.

Oh yes. What's always cracked me up about him inviting Elias and Ruby out isn't that he's worried about Rose, or what she'll think; he's not. He's worried about what Ruby--and, by extension, Elias--will think.

I love how she can say the most inappropriate things.

She's one of those lucky people who says those things with such charm, that folks only rarely get offended.

I just made a pot of coffee for the office. *passes huge mug of steaming brew*

::accepts gratefully:: Though--anyone whom I may encounter during the day is really unlikely to thank you for caffeinating me!

Indeed--or rather, so many "lack-of-actual-coping" coping mechanisms, almost all of which being unhealthy of course. Why is it that when we develop these things, they're never healthy ( ... )

It's so unfair, isn't it? *sigh*

Oh, and what's an ASBO?

From the trusty wiki: anti-social behaviour order

Oh, incidentally, the first part of the Eliot fic is up at Teaspoon

Ah, excellent!

Yay for new acronym knowledge.

And I dearly, dearly love the image of this Peter Carlisle as a teacher, preferably in a high school situation not unlike the one in my home town. I think I may laugh myself to sleep now. The students would eat the poor man alive--he thinks his *coworkers* are bad...
