Spending my time thinking about hockey players being great Romantic poets
It's good to be back, Livejournal's post-an-entry page! I guess I should say that I've missed you, but I haven't, and in the meantime you've changed so much that I don't feel like I know you anymore. :(
Re: food: I have had a number of great dinners and lunches in this almost-year of radio silence. I've been trying to learn how to cook properly, without too much success, but I can follow instructions well enough and I make a really good vegetarian sauce out of field mushrooms, courgettes and tomatoes. Yay for mushrooms! Also, I don't think I've ever really appreciated basil as much as it clearly deserves. Mmm, basil. I am trying to find easy recipes that do not include tomatoes or prosciutto or mozzarella/parmigiano/provola in any way, but it's been quite difficult. Sigh!
Re: new fandom: I have reached that point in my hockey obsession where I am actively thinking about who would make the best Cicero out of all the players in the NHL. And what about a Renaissance AU, or, or, or a Middle Ages AU, or a Temeraire-style AU -- but then I come back to my senses, because, ahaha. (I was very taken with the idea of Arthur Cicero running away to Spain with Eames Catiline or something terrible like that. I don't change much, I guess.) I am currently watching -- completely transfixed -- a 13-seconds long clip of Ryan Kesler crying. What is happening to me?
To show off how not-weird I am, here is a list of commentfic threads I've found while falling down the hockey hole:
Untitled, Danny/Claude, by doctor_denmark and riadsala -- Claude learns how to cook! (INSTANT FAVOURITE.)
Untitled, by just_katarin -- (Olympics 2010) Ryan Kesler sleeps with a bunch of people in order to throw the Canadians off their games. WONDROUS.
Untitled, Kesler/Ladd, by impertinence -- sexual slapping?
Untitled, Kesler/Ladd, by panfix and impertinence -- Porn! And choking! And... hatesex?
Untitled, Kaner/Tazer, by sociofemme and impertinence -- Kaner accidentally marries a woman, and Tazer is a jealous weirdo.
Untitled, Kaner/Sharpy, by allthespoons and impertinence -- see pairing. Also, Tazer jerks off a lot?
Untitled, by jamjar -- ...Jeff Skinner is a supernatural being?
Untitled, Eric/Jeff, by doctor_denmark -- Eric is a single dad and Jeff is (a former figure skater, for those of you who are into that, and) a babysitter/college student.
Untitled, Eric/Jeff, by impertinence and shoemaster -- Eric and Jeff want to bone but Eric feels guilty about wanting to bone Jeff and somehow there's jealousy and misunderstandings as well as figure skating matchmakers. BEST THING EVER?
Untitled, Eric/Jeff, by impertinence, go_gentle, thesamefire -- Jeff is super intense and pissed off after losses.
Untitled, Eric/Jeff, by doctor_denmark and impertinence -- Jeff is pushy in bed after losing games.
Untitled, Eric/Jeff, by doctor_denmark and impertinence -- "I have been thinking about how Eric would try and convince Jeff to marry him while they're both drunk while Eric is visiting Jared so there could be three Staals on the team."
Untitled, Eric/Jeff, by shoemaster and impertinence -- "so the Canes have this great new rookie, and they want to play him, and so their coach takes Eric aside and is like "I want you to make him comfortable". Because Carolina's pretty different from Canada, the hockey market is just DIFFERENT and Skinner's a giant n00b who could be hugely valuable for them. And Eric's a good guy, so he agrees!"
Untitled, Eric/Cam, by impertinence -- best friends who are in love! :D?
Untitled, Geno/Ovie, by riadsala and impertinence -- "Obvs the one where Malkin and Ovechkin used to date and their big feud/agent punching business was all an acrimonious breakup. Kovalchuck helped patch up their friendship, but they're obviously still in love with each other, even if they don't want to admit it. And then they start re-dating and this time it works out! :D"
