lazy time

Lazy Saturday afternoons are the best. I have done nothing constructive today other than have lunch at my parents' house. Right now I'm content to sit in my living room with a cold drink and ignore my messages a while longer.

Does it need to be an actual book? Or will whatever's on my PADD work?

Nah, it doesn't have to be. Whatever you have will work!

Fuck, I don't know... okay, here's both.

This is what was on my PADD, close as I can come to a page 123:

Horta physiology is very different from the carbon-based norm more commonly found in the galaxy. Horta are difficult to detect with tricorders, and are invulnerable to type 1 phasers, though they can be injured with an adjusted type 2 phaser. They feed on rock, and thus they are nourished just by tunneling. Horta tunnel through rock like most humanoids walk through air, moving with the aid of an extremely corrosive acid. They leave perfectly round tunnels in their wake.

Then I grabbed this, from Jim's shelf... yeah, Jim's shelf, that's right.

"She's Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and she's the one who'll be questioning you."

"Amelia Bones is okay, Harry," said Tonks earnestly. "She's fair, she'll hear you out."

Harry nodded, still unable to think of anything to say.

"Don't lose your temper," said Sirius abruptly. "Be polite and stick to the facts."

Harry nodded again.

Fucking Umbridge... she was a ( ... )

*blink* They eat rock? Seriously?

*grin* So which House would you Jim be in, then?

Seriously. There's a lot of strange up here. Can't believe it until you see it.

Shit, Jim just screams Gryffindor. All heroic and brave and shit. Me, Hufflepuff of course I dunno... Don't pay that much attention, you know.

...What about you? You're a reader, right? Bookworm? I can guess... *snort*

I look forward to seeing everything.

I can see Jim in Gryffindor. Hey, don't knock Hufflepuff - who was the first house aside from Gryffindor to stand up with Harry at the Battle of Hogwarts? Hufflepuffs are awesome.

Yes, I'm a Ravenclaw, and proud of it.

You sure seem to know a lot about this for someone who doesn't pay attention.

Don't take this the wrong way, Pine, but you reek of 'Claw. I mean, I had to look up the definition to your journal name.

Erudite? Really?

Hufflepuffs are worker bees. Not the sexiest house, not that it mattters. But yeah, would be nice to be a little more cool.

How do I know all this? Um, I got a kid. Plus, its the future. We know a lot in the future.

I'll take that as a compliment.

What can I say? My word kink ran away with me.

Jim doesn't seem to mind. Nor would I, for that matter.

It couldn't be that you've read the entire series yourself, of course.

It was meant as a compliment. Nothing wrong with being smart. It's one of my favorite things about Jim. He's brilliant and- wait... word kink? Word kink?

You guys find big works kinky? *writes this down* You know, I think a stiff wind would get you guys excited. And you can't just say stuff like that. It confuses me (and probably Karl, too)

... I mean, everyone read those books, when they were little. It was a long time ago.

I got that, yeah. And I agree... nothing wrong with being smart.

I don't think it's the words themselves so much as the proper usage. Not someone who spouts off six syllable words trying to sound cool and ends up sounding like a douche. For me, anyway. *bites lip* I don't mean to cause confusion. That came out wrong, I guess. Just appreciating. I flirt - it's second nature to me.

I see your point. They're so recent to me, I didn't think about them still having that kind of universal popularity in the future.

Don't be all worried, it's me being an ass; I can't take a compliment. Besides, I know someone like that. Just strange seeing someone that looks like him, but isn't him.

Fuck, I'll just shut up now. But we're good. And thanks for appreciating.

Yeah, universal popularity.
