(no subject)
Pub quiz tonight completely kicked our ass on the history section (god, isn't that embarrassing? Don't ask what one of the degrees is in, k? *shame*), but I feel much less stupid on coming home and proving beyond a shadow of a doubt I was right about the date the Treaty of Waitangi was signed, and the MC was wrong, wrong, so very wrong (1860 MY ASS) and Liz's meme post has also brightened my spirits considerably, though I've not had a chance to comment properly there yet. And believe me, my spirits needed some brightening, because, this morning, when I was already five minutes late... yeah, that was when my car decided to NOT START AT ALL. Happy fun times. Because unless I want a three hour walk at the end of it I can't take public transport at all to get to work, so it was super lucky my brother's on four days on, four days off (and today was an off) because I basically yelped "car broken! argh! cannot deal with this now!" and took his instead. Please cross fingers that he can fix it for me (having a brother who has grown up to be a person I can get along with well is wonderful, having a brother who has grown up into a person I get on with who is also a MECHANIC? fucking awesome, bro.), because getting it towed out of the carport would be both expensive and a logistical nightmare, and I don't want to pay a fortune to get whatever's broken fixed, either. Gah. How nuts am I to suspect some degree of malice on the part of the timing of this, because I KNEW I should probably not have bought a couple things this weekend, but I figured, okay, I'll just spend less next month. HA! Murphy, you fucker, I just know you were watching my receipts!
So anyway, because it seems like one of Those kinds of nights,
me: (oh my god I love NCIS SO MUCH RIGHT NOW. Tony just did the campest voice ever and was all "I have much to learn, master". also, he has canonically done a McKay and kissed a man. \o/)
Kat: Whee! Damn you, I do NOT need a new show.
me: I'm sorry! but it's only four seasons so far and it's ATTRACTIVE AND INTERESTING PEOPLE SOLVING CRIME, OCCASIONALLY IN MILITARY UNIFORM. * hits you in several vulnerable parts at once, yes? *
Kat: MRRRRRH. * glares *
me: (also eventually i have to make you watch Bones because it is het-shippy weirdo geeky love, I promise. and only 1.9 seasons so far!)
Kat: * glares some more *
me: * is doing this lovingly and for your own good and HELLO YOU GOT ME INTO SG-1 so there*
me: also, have you seen Abby at all?
me:<- is HELPFUL
Kat: sometimes I hate you.
Kat: SHE LOOKS UNATTRACTIVE AND NOT AT ALL CHARMING LA LA LA I DON'T NEED A NEW SHOW.
me: and by hate we mean love, right?
me: you know, i didn't believe it last time and i don't believe it now. * is giggling * i am sorry! except not sorry enough to not pimp!
Kat: * GLARE *
me: * beams *
me: (ooh, this is pretty - *will stop linking now *)
Kat: noooooooo NCIS
me: (...I'm sorry, but oh my god, Abby just did a ballistics report with a goth HAND PUPPET OMG)
Kat: SHUT UP
me: I couldn't predict that! it just happened! I had to share!
Kat: you are a bad person
me: (she just handcuffed herself to Gibbs to stop him resigning and going to Mexico!!!!!!!!!1alksjdalksdjlsdlkj. (I am sorry! Really! I just-- ))
me: oh god, that 1 was wholly unironic, too. *shame *
Kat: I don't believe for a SECOND that you're sorry
me: I am because lure of new fandom is scary and time consuming, but OH i had to share the cuteness
Kat: Yeah, right. You fling yourself headlong into things and you drag me with you! This is not a new pattern! And I get sucked up because I have no willpower.
(I just had to quote for that last, if nothing else.)
me: * is imagining the OT3 uni AU to make self feel better, sends some of that your way too *
me: because Daniel's hair would be all floppy since he can't really afford to get it cut and even if he could he wouldn't remember most of the time until it gets seriously in his eyes, and then Vala says one day that she could trim it for him, and he looks a little dubious, but she is good with knives, so sure.
except it turns out she's good with knives and not so good with making things even, and Cam ends up snatching the scissors away before Daniel starts looking like HE should be in ROTC and does a surprisingly good job of neatening up, which of course means that Vala switches seamlessly over from teasing Daniel about how he can't sit still to teasing Cam about how he's missed his calling as the Air Force barber, and Cam just flips her off with the hand not holding the scissors while Daniel smiles easily, openly up at him and presses a warm kiss to his palm in thanks when he's done.
Kat: presents from the universe!
me: exactly!
Kat: I am never getting over the fact that PETER DELUISE was on FRIENDS.
me: ...is it wrong i plan to find the Friends episode after work tomorrow?
me: I don't think I am either [getting over it] because DUDE.
me: and I KNOW I have it on tape still so I feel rather winning.
Kat: If that is wrong, why would anyone want to be right?
me: TRUE
Kat: Seriously, could I love him more?**
me: aaaaaaaah! [website] is still busted. i can get to the menu now but when i click the One with the Bullies NOTHING HAPPENS
me: I want instant gratification damnit!
me: mlipas!
me: <- mocks self so others don't have to
Kat: woe!
me: also, how sad is it that i instantly remembered the name of the episode?
...on reflection, probably less sad than the fact i actually SAY "stir and drink, stir and drink, never let it settle!" nine times out of ten while stirring hot beverages.
Kat: "It was three months last week," Cameron said. "I waited up for you."
"Three months?" Daniel asked, eyes wide. "Really? Wow--but who celebrates three months?"#
Girls, Daniel. Girls celebrate three months. You are dating a GIANT GIRL.
me: *DIES * oh, LOVE. though sadly I suspect the latter paragraph was, in fact, you. (was it?)
me: oh my god, I WANT GIRL!CAM FIC
Kat: Yes. The quoted ones were meant to be italics, but the italics didn't work
Kat: OMG YES YES YES
me: WHY is there not more SG-1 genderfuck?
Kat: Oh, he would make such a pretty girl.
me:
Sam, Cam, Daniel: * huddle around Ancient artifact *
Sam: Oh! Hey, I see what you did, you just--
Lanteans: "Wait--
* dramatic pause for moment of realisation among all watching *
Rodney: * folds his arms under his breasts and looks speculatively at Cam * "C'mon, Mitchell, I bet Coleman is just your size. We'll let those 'geniuses' figure out what they've done wrong THIS time while we're gone."
Sheppard: * is hiding in the corner kind of sulking because Rodney hasn't ogled him once since Sam Carter arrived, and maybe a little also because technically, alone of all the Atlantean personnel affected, HE doesn't actually need a bra. Things like t his never happened to General O'Neill, he's sure of it *
me: also Rodney is gonna find Cam a pink bra and Cam is going to take one look, groan, and say "Jeez, McKay, I APOLOGISED about the lemon already!"
Kat: ..... okay, girl!Cam/girl!John/girl!Rodney would basically be the best thing ever.
me: ...I think my brain ACTUALLY broke imagining the hot.
**And just now do I realise my ACTUAL response to that should, of course, have been "MAYBE IF HE HAD A MULLET!" I blame [website] being down for throwing me off, cos normally I don't fumble that particular catch. :D
#Sorry, I forget what she was quoting here. Also, in gchat the italics totally didn't work at first.
In conclusion? I heart Kat ever so much.
