North & South (not Patrick Swayze version), Goblet of Fire, Calvin & Hobbes

[koalathebear]

Yes a bit eclectic. First of all, people are watching North & South and I'm turning pea green with envy because it looks so good. I've emailed my bro and asked him to check out the ABC shop in Canberra to see if they have a copy.

alexandral's been enthusing about the series for a while, dangermousie has just made a serious of great posts about it and even included

Calvin and Hobbes=<3

That is all :)

[koalathebear]

Hee! I love them. But you haven't answered the question ;) Hobbes - real or not? :)

[elven_mysteries]

Would you look at that, there's a question~ lol

Hobbes is real, it's just everyone is just too ignorant to see it. But part of me wants to say that Calvin just has an unbelievably active imagination. But no, I like Hobbes better if he was alive. :)

"I hate to think that all my current experiences will someday become stories with no point."
-Calvin

eek, that's a scary thot bubble!
terrifyingly close to truth for me

*choke* Not at all dearest kia. Don't forget, this is from the same Calvin that says:

"Girls are like slugs - they probably serve some purpose, but it's hard to imagine what."

I´m glad you like the links. Every time I see Calvin and Hobbes I think of you =D. To answer the question, I like to think that Hobbes is real and just pretends not to be in front of other people. Maybe he just let´s Calvin see him because Calvin is special and truly believes

I know you don´t go searching for fic, so I´m recommending two fics (both BSG and both with Cain):
queenofthorns : Saw You Once, Medusa

widget285 : The Good Soldier

PS: Are you feeling better?

[koalathebear]

Ooooh I had read the queenofthorns story when I was looking at her Apollo story but I hadn't known about the story by widget285. That's fantastic! The last lines of the fic were wonderful. Thank you so much for recommending that. And yes, I am famous for being unadventurous and chicken about my fan fic :D It is kind of you to help find the good fic for me :) *hug*

I like to think Hobbes is real as well - he's just kind of magical. :)

I'm feeling all right a bit better today. I really have to to to run some errands but I have to try to get well quickly because 1. I need to pack and 2. If I'm running a temperature I'm going to run into difficulties at the airport. Also I seem to recall it's not good to fly with flu :P Thanks for asking :)

[red_erythros]

Aaaaaaw. I *heart* Calvin and Hobbes. :D

[koalathebear]

I know! Who could not like them? :)
