some guy with dreads electrocuted my fish
Hahahaha, I have been annoying my best friend all morning by texting 'Naturally' lyrics to her. She hates that song and I have literally spent the last two and a half hours texting the lyrics over and over to her. She's about to kill me. The trick is to slip them in with important information about, say, the trip that we're taking together this weekend. That way she can't ignore it. It's how I show my affection!
So I am totally over feeling like I can't write Joe/Demi. (Yay!) There were a few (glorious) months where reality and fantasy came together, but I shipped them long before they were a couple so I'm back to that head space (thank god). The only problem now is that I have a month to finish my big bang! I remembered this meme from awhile back and I've used it as an excuse to go reread some of my stuff and get back in the writing flow.
WIP meme:
1. She runs into him at a vegan cupcake shop on Broome Street.
In a city of more than eight million people (who, nearly four years in, still scare her to death on a daily basis), of course she’d somehow run into her (sort of) ex-boyfriend who transferred schools and pretended to be in love with her so that he could break her heart and make her bomb Regionals. In a cupcake shop.
2. This is how everyone reacts when Marshall tells them that JONAS will be guest-starring on next week's episode of So Random:
Zora cackles and locks herself in her mummy tomb. (Sonny hopes the Lucas brothers like being pranked.) Tawni calls her stylist and starts screaming about lipgloss. Nico scoffs, calls them "bubblegum pop," and then he and Grady decide to go to the gym for awhile.
Sonny runs and tells Chad.
3. Miley makes Nick give her a piggyback ride through the lobby of the Plaza, which is mildly embarrassing. Nick guesses that he'd probably be more embarrassed if he wasn't distracted by the press of Miley's breasts against his back, by how beautiful she looked in her wedding dress, by how badly he wants to get up to their room and start their honeymoon.
4. Jason Bateman is sort of impossibly cool. Joe’s not actually sure how he pulls it off, to come across as so, so cool and yet still be the nicest guy in the room. Joe’s used to rock star cool, which is generally not even in the same vicinity as nice, but Jason’s really dry and smart and kind of aloof and still random crew guys are always clapping him on the back like he’s one of them. They do not clap Joe on the back, but they do ask him for autographs for their daughters.
5. Taylor’s phone starts ringing as she’s contemplating whether it’s necessary to bring a second kerosene lamp. She looks at the display and breathes a sigh of relief as she brings the phone to her ear.
“Miles, thank goodness, I need your help. I’m bringing an LED flashlight, a kerosene lamp, and a crank radio just in case there’s an earthquake or a mudslide or just one of those brownouts you hear so much about in LA, but do you think it’s a good idea to bring a second kerosene lamp or does your house there have a backup generator? I don’t want to go overboard-“
“Taylor, shut up.” Miley’s voice is harsh and low, like she’s trying not to be heard. “Rein in the crazy for five seconds, we have an emergency.”
“Okay.” Taylor looks at the pile of clothes and hiking gear and non-perishable food in plastic bags and the five boxes of matches covering her bed. She glances at the four suitcases already packed and ready over by her door.
“Will a kerosene lamp help?"
6. David walks into his manager’s office at 2:30pm on a Friday holding a Jamba Juice Energy Boost smoothie in one hand and a Noah’s sesame seed bagel in the other.
7. Demi finally signs out of Twitter completely on Friday morning when #DemiShouldHaveAskedTaylor becomes the number one trending topic.
8. Nick watches as Joe scales the chain-link fence separating him from Demi. He leans over the side and reaches for her, shouting “Don’t let go, Rose! Never let go!” Demi giggles and reaches up and even though they could touch hands if they wanted, the fence isn’t that high, they keep pretending to miss each other. Demi keeps crouching lower so their hands don’t touch as Joe hangs further and further over the side and they’ve got the whole crew laughing with them, like always.
If Nick were in this shot with Joe he’d be telling him to get down, act professional, Matthew’s just reloading, be ready Joe, come on.
I am aware that I broke, like, every single rule in this meme. Oh well.
