Random Update/Feeling Old/Meme

[rivlee]

I've just been invited to join the Facebook group of my HS Class' 10th year anniv reunion. How old do I feel right now? I have no intention to go to said Reunion, there's only about 1-2 people I'd like to see that I don't still talk to and besdies, I have at least one person per work day go, "Didn't we got to high school togehter?" To which I am

Runner/Chuckler because as if I would prompt anything else.

Damnit, I really need to do my cards. THEY WILL BE DONE TODAY.

Also! While out last night, I saw that double box set BoB/TP. I have vague recollections of Michael prying it out of my hands and being reasonable as to why we couldn't get it though. Quit trying to screw me out of my money, HBO. Or, rather, continue to screw me out of my money, but make series on North Africa/Papua/Flyboys/nurses and minorities already. I'll be here, waiting, a'ight?

[rivlee]

You never know! You could switch it up one of these days. Do you have a request for any particualr 'verse or just Runner/Chuckler in general

Hey, at least you have a card goal!

Agreed on EVERYTHING about HBO. And hell, if they don't want to shell out the money for the mini-series, at least they could make a few decent MOVIES again.

I'm just waiting for the right moment to pull a fast one on ya, just you wait, lmfao. Oh, oh, uh, and now I'm stuck between Nashville, Midnight and 'wood verse. THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR GIVING ME OPTIONS, fuck. ...I'll happily take whatever is easiest for you out of the three mentioned 8'D

See, I already bought all the stamps knowing that they would be the hardest for me to get (seeing as I work nowhere near a post office and they are all shut by the time I finish work), so I lulled myself into a false sense of security by thinking I was ahead.

OR SOMETHING, SERIOUSLY. JUST STOP MAKING ME BUY THE SAME TWO SERIES SEVERAL TIMES

Nashville verse for now

[rivlee]

There were a lot of assumptions people made about Runner and Chuckler, plenty of bar bets and drunken discussions passed around the tables of Allison’s. Gossip was like air to their group of friends and Runner was used to being asked at least once a week, “but how do you work” as a drunken asshole looked between Chuckler’s towering height and Runner’s shorter stature

HOOSIER/SKINNY.

YOU ASKED FOR IT.
(can i do two and ask for babe/roe, too? because. d'aww. domestic is sort a staple there.)

i got your christmas card(s) yesterday! and they're definitely going up on my wall, totally made me smile ♥ thank you so much, bb.

[rivlee]

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.

(And yes, you may request two. Is there a certain take on babe/roe you'd like to see re: the far too many verses?)

And you're welcome! I'm glad they arrived.

[skylilies]

=D =D =D

(ummm. oh goodness, that's hard. maybe some modern au since we've had a bit of nash and it's probably the other general verse that fits easiest for the prompt q's?) (but you can do whichever you feel like, i love them everywhere;; )

♥

[rivlee]

(I shall go with modern au then!)(though I might get all thinky-thought like and do Nashville too.)(we'll see.)

[skew_whiff]

I've got two OTPs and they're sappy and domestic as anything, so really, take your pick between Harry/Kitty and Ack-Ack/Hillbilly. (or do both. you know you want to.)

Looking forward to the cards! I'll be sending mine out this morning, I think, providing the Post Office is actually open.

Also, school reunions only exist so awful people can reassure themselves they are less awful than the people they grew up with. And these days you can do the same thing with Facebook and you don't even have to talk to the awful bastards you were forced to co-exist with for seven years. (Bitter, me?)

[rivlee]

I think we're both aware that I'm probably going to do both here, b/c how could I not?

And yay for cards all around.

Agreed on everythin re: school reunions/Facebook. Though, as I said, work for me is like a school reunion at least once a day/week but at least I get to go, "Wow, SHE lost her looks. Oh, he still sounds like he's speaking through a mouth of marbles. Yup, they're both still dumb as bricks." Which, yeah, makes me a shallow and bitter person, but meeting people for high school again sort of puts us all in that place, I think.

Andy/Eddie Nashville verse pt 1

[rivlee]

I went with Nashville ‘verse b/c there EVERYBODY LIVES and also, banjos are played

Re: Andy/Eddie Nashville verse pt 2

[rivlee]

Technically speaking they do have a wedding anniversary, though that’s not the one they celebrate. Both agreed that their meeting in Knoxville was much more a momentous occasion than the wedding-on-a-whim in Boston. They’re both good at remembering dates, but Eddie likes to switch it up sometimes, just celebrating on a random Tuesday for no good reason other than that his thankful for his life.

When it comes time to relax, when Andy forbids any more work on music and Eddie hides Andy’s briefcase behind the washing machine, they like to relax with some beers and mindless entertainment. Bocephus takes up most of the couch, and Andy and Eddie inevitably end up sprawled together on the floor, scrolling through the Netflix (which Eddie controls) or the months of programming Andy’s scheduled on the DVR out of boredom. They don’t speak of Andy’s addiction to The Real Housewives series or Eddie’s addiction to Pawn Stars, just enjoy the time together before another day of work.

OOH can I ask for Ray/Walt :D

[rivlee]

You may! (And oh man, that will be fun to write.)

Ray/Walt

[rivlee]

Ray likes to think he’s the big spoon, but he’s the little spoon, all the way. Not that he’ll ever admit that, especially not if Colbert is around, but it’s true. He tries to go to bed asserting his place as the big spoon, but by the end of the night Walt’s won out. It’s okay though, Ray still wins all the blankets.

Ray would say drinking and video games are their favorite non-sexual activity, but Walt would give him that look. And if he could keep a straight face while saying it, he’d claim working for a charity. Or leaving annoying voice messages to Brad, but that’s more Ray’s favorite activity. So he’ll go with their one true love: Monster Truck Rallies. It might make them redneck hicks, but hell, got to keep pride in where you come from.

Walt steals all the hot water in the morning. Every last drop. They’re both fans of long showers. Months in nothing but MOPP suits full of grime and smelling like ball-sweat will do that to you. Ray’s used to cold showers though, he doesn’t care as long as he’s fucking cleanRay loves Italian,

I'M STILL SORT OF FEVERED INCOHERENT, but i love this -- and how it seriously fits the vibe of them, where even when it's talking about the heartbreaking/serious things (like the hallmark card for surviving the war) it still can make me laugh a little, too.

AND WALT LEAVING ONE SHOE BY THE DOOR AND ONE BY THE COUCH. AND RAY'S PROTEST OF THE ATROCITIES IN HIS HOME BY LEAVING HIS KEYS EVERYWHERE THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO GO. and the way that they really do balance each other beautifully, really, when you think about it -- walt calling the landlord, and ray's shopping tradition, etc etc.

....this made my soft spot for this pairing really grow.
