The Big Saturday. (Also: A Meme.)
We spent today helping kcobweb and galagan move (along with spyscribe), and supervising play between Sarah, Hunter, and Elena. As kcobweb noted, there is indeed a domino effect regarding crying babies, particularly when one of them is watching all the familiar stuff in her household disappear slowly!
Sarah was talking about "Baby Ay-na" until bedtime, even pretending while in the bath to "clean Baby Ay-na's house" by scrubbing the shower tile with her little washcloth. *shrug* She's obsessed with cleaning right now. In twelve years I will wish this was still so.
We will miss you guys, but I am sure we will see you again someday! Be safe and have as much fun as possible on your journeys.
(Note to self: next time kassrachel recommends a local friend, do not wait until they are moving away to meet them. ::facepalm::)
And now, the most cracktastic, addlepated, beautifully fucked-up fandom-slash meme ever, courtesy of gingasan. Seriously. You simply must try it.
babel...this particularly means you. Heh.
***
Write down twelve of your favorite characters. Number the list. Then click the cut for random cracktastic questions. (Don't look at the questions before you've come up with the list or else you'll spoil it.)
1. Dr. Gregory House ("House")
2. Dr. James Wilson ("House")
3. Chief Miles O'Brien ("Star Trek: The Next Generation" & "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine")
4. Dr. Julian Bashir (ST:DS9)
5. Elim Garak (ST:DS9)
6. Lt. Jadzia Dax (ST:DS9)
7. Maj. Kira Nerys (ST:DS9)
8. Spock ("Star Trek"--the original series)
9. Capt. James T. Kirk (ST:TOS)
10. Capt. Jean-Luc Picard (ST:TNG)
11. Q (ST:TNG)
12. Capt. Kathryn Janeway ("Star Trek: Voyager")
1. Have you ever read a Six/Eleven fic? Do you want to?
No, I'm not sure they exist...but if they did, sure! Might be fun.
2. Do you think Four is hot? How hot?
Oh yes. Really hot. Tall, dark, and handsome, move over and make room for short, dark, and quirky!
3. What would happen if Twelve got Eight pregnant?
Hrm. That wouldn't work, exactly...but if 8 got 12 pregnant, now that would be something to write about. Romulan-Vulcan reunification, Janeway helping out the dissidents after her return to the Alpha Quadrant and falling for the movement's distinguished and still red-hot legendary leader. Yep.
4. Can you rec any fic(s) about Nine?
Not really, I haven't been shopping around for that sort of thing lately. I'm sure there are bucketloads available, though.
5. Would Two and Six make a good couple?
Wilson/Dax? Well, even despite the obvious time/space continuum problem, yes, I think they would. He likes strong personalities, and she would be able to put a smile on his face a little more often.
6. Five/Nine or Five/Ten? Why?
I'll take Garak/Picard. They're both worldly (universely?), sophisticated gentlemen with refined tastes who have done a few things they're not proud of, and who love their work. Yes, shut up, it could too work. :p
7. What would happen if Seven walked in on Two and Twelve having sex?
Well, honestly she wouldn't know who the fuck either of them were so I don't guess it'd make any difference. Hrm. Next question, as Drew Rosenhaus would say.
8. Make up a summary for a Three/Ten fic.
Okay, you're right in my wheelhouse now, here goes. *ahem*
Picard and O'Brien get to chatting one night in TenForward over their mutual love of building ships in bottles and the difficulty of getting a really decent cup of Earl Grey out of the replicator. After a few drinks of the "It's green!" stuff that Guinan keeps behind the bar, they book time in the holodeck and roleplay as Magneto and Professor X, which ends in hot man-on-man action and a few bent spoons getting stuck in the wall. The end.
(Oh, yeah, like you could have done any better. I couldn't resist! Am I not human?)
9. Is there any such thing as One/Eight fluff?
No, but Lord, there should be.
10. Suggest a title for a Seven/Twelve hurt/comfort fic.
"To Command Where I Adore"
11. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted Four to deflower One?
Oh, this is easy. Temporal anomaly, blah blah blah. Bashir, looking for a place to hide out until the Defiant can come pick him up, happens upon the fine folks at St. Gregory of the Suspicious Diagnoses Hospital and, posing as a foreign exchange intern, comes up with the perfect answer to a problem that has been troubling House for days. The patient saved, Bashir joins House for dinner and ends up showing everyone's favorite medical misanthrope how much man-love has changed in the 24th century.
12. Does anyone on your friends list read Seven slash?
Besides me? Maybe babel.
13. Does anyone on your friends list read Three het?
I can't imagine why they would, not when there's hot slash with Bashir to be read (and written!)
14. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw Eleven?
Don't think so, but a friend of a friends-list friend has.
15. Would anyone on your friends list write Two/Four/Five?
Unfortunately not, except maybe me. Whooo! Now that would be a threesome.
16. What might Ten scream at a moment of great passion?
"Make it so!" (Duh.) Either that or "Dammit, Will, watch the teeth!"
17. If you wrote a song-fic about Eight, which song would you choose?
"Ocean Breathes Salty," by Modest Mouse. Post-"Generations" angst-fic. Spock mourns for Jim Kirk and the love he never allowed himself to feel.
"Your body may be gone, I'm gonna carry you in.
In my head, in my heart, in my soul.
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both live again.
Well I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Don't think so."
*sigh* No, really. I might actually write this one. *shakes fist at gingasan Why must you tempt me with these fiendish memes?
18. If you wrote a One/Six/Twelve fic, what would the warnings be?
Uh...femslash, gratuitous time-travel, possible holodeck episode?
19. What might be a good pick-up line for Two to use on Ten?
"Gosh, I just love British men who are pretending to be from other countries!" (Sometimes it just all fits together, folks)
20. When was the last time you read a fic about Five?
Couple days ago.
21. What is Six's super-sekrit kink?
Likes to shag her previous hosts during zhian'tara.
22. Would Eleven shag Nine? Drunk or sober?
But of course. They'd be sober, unless they bring in McCoy for the old bourbon and threesome.
23. If Three and Seven get together, who tops?
Gots to be Kira, strappin' it on.
24. "One and Nine are in a happy relationship until Nine suddenly runs off with Four. One, broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with Eleven and a brief unhappy affair with Twelve, then follows the wise advice of Five and finds true love with Three." What title would you give this fic? Name three people on your friends list who might read it. Name one person who should write it.
Erm. I'd call it "Screw The Prime Directive, Everyone Else Has." As to who would read it, that would be no one. And as to who would write it, I can't think of anybody that bored.
25. How would you feel if Seven/Eight was canon?
Surprised as hell, since there's quite a bit of time separation.
Okay, my brain is officially broken now, so good night, all.
