On the alpine highway of life, you are my all-weather tires.

Man, what is better than a beautiful lazy Saturday morning after a long week of work and various running around? I've had my scrambled eggs, my bagel (half margarine, half Nutella- yummm), and now I've got a cup of the fantastic jasmine tea my sister sent up from Florida. I've got all three Sherlock episodes queued up for viewing, and I haven't

Your new default icon is lovely! I spotted it on an old post I was looking through and thought it was gorgeous.

I love that the random crack crossover pairing we came up with once ranks second in terms of your OTPs, by the way.

That Wash/Zoe moment you mention is unbelievably adorable and hot. I still kind of hate Whedon for breaking them up, while simultaneously loving him for bringing them together.

[lotus0kid]

Hee, thanks! Ain't it though? I've been holding on to it for ages, wanting to use it as my default but not really (I like having an icon I make myself as my default). I'm sad that the person who made it appears to have picked up sticks and left.

I've told you time and again West/Mirror!Wendy is my villain OTP for now and forever. It's just so wonderfully BAMF-y and twisted.

I know, I know. If it helps, there was an interview with Gina Torres where she says that Zoe was pregnant during the movie and now has a beautiful little Washburne baby to care for. Yeah, she's not Whedon or one of the other writers, but I completely believe that is now canon.

Hah, you're so principled. I just use whatever icon I happen to like most, or one that's not very fandom specific. Well, perhaps the person who made yours just changed lj names or something.

They definitely are. I'm trying to remember just why and when we decided that.

Yeah, the whole "Zoe is pregnant" thing is a happy-ish ending that I've seen a couple of fics explore, but that's just the kind of thing that never really satisfies me. Like a) how convenient and b) it's still not Wash. I mean better than nothing and all, but it's still not my favorite wrap-up. It makes more sense than when it happened in Cold Mountain, at least. Heh, it's actually a trope: Someone to Remember Him By.

Eh, I don't think it's wrong to use an icon made by someone else as a default, just that it probably says more about you if it's an icon you made.

Well, I saw 28 Days Later for the first time in the summer of '08, so probably around then.

"Better than nothing at all"- that's pretty much where I leave it. Because, just like Kaylee, there should be someone who's a little Wash and a little Zoe in the world.

A bagel with half margarine, half-Nutella, plus jasmine tea, plus Sherlock? Why isn't this the morning I'm having? :) Sounds like the best scenario ever. Enjoy!

[lotus0kid]

Mm, plus scrambled eggs, which I am very good at making, if I do say so myself. And Sherlock honestly gets better every time I watch it.

[gingerberrysnap]

That sounds like a lovely morning! Certainly better than my sitting around waiting to leave for 1 to 9 work shift today. *laughs*

Also, fiddling with your LJ layout is like time consuming crack.

Crossing Claude with other people is difficult, because he doesn't really like anyone.

[lotus0kid]

Ugh, sucks. Well, at least you've got the morning, which is personally my favorite part.

Heh, I'm sure. I dunno, I really do like this one. I like this color green, and it goes well with my default(s) (very important).

Seriously! It's a very narrow spectrum of people that can win and keep Claude's interest.

[gingerberrysnap]

I wish I weren't such a night owl and an insomniac, because I actually love getting up in the morning too. But I always end up sleeping through a nice chunk of it.

I started messing around with customized layouts and it ate my brain for a while.

This is why it's probably best he just stick with Peter.

[lotus0kid]

Yeah, there is that desire to stay up late just because you can when you don't have work in the morning, but which naturally results in missing part of said morning. I'm very annoyed that it's already after noon.

Maybe I'll take a look.

Exactly.
