Slashy Nominations 132: And Ivan Makes...Um. A Number Greater Than Two, Anyway.

Nov 09, 2005 19:59

Well. This has been a revelation.

Last week, after much consultation with y'all, I decided what iPod to get for Best Beloved. (The video iPod, if you're curious. Best Beloved likes lots of storage space.) I went to the online Apple store, put a bunch of stuff in a shopping cart, and checked out. As I am a human being with functioning brain cells ( Read more... )

*whimpers*

Okay, see, this is not fair. It's ficteasing! Because, see, it was a fabulous snippet, but even though I laughed, I knew I was missing the best part of the joke. I don't speak Firefly and had to cast around for what Simon that might've been. (My first idea, to give you some idea, was Simon Drew (Dark Is Rising). Yikes.)

*whines pathetically*

(But even with my handicap, I appreciated what you were doing, and it's good crack. It's just that it's only half my brand, damn it.)

Oh, I"m sorry! But, if I my dangle the bait enticingly, Firefly is a simple fandom to aquire, consistig of only twelve shows and a movie.

A-men and Hal-lelujah!

Hee.

Congratulations on the addition to your family! Many happy...iPods? I don't know. :-D

*testifies*

And I think Miss Manners would advocate a simple, "May your tribe increase and your dominion expand to encompass all the earth" in this sort of situation. (Actually, that works surprisingly well in almost any setting. Try saying it to the bride at the next wedding reception you attend!)

So. While I have you here - how's life in the cardboard mines?

HUGS!

I'm digging out. I found my closet this weekend. It's still there. Hallelujah! And how is life treating you and the new member of your family?

Best Beloved read this post and said, "It was weird," in this tone of voice that suggested that I had put my finger on something that had been puzzling her.

Apparently we're just not used to technology that doesn't fight back.

And there was a shoutout to socks in your post!

Yes! It was a shout-out to your socks! I had hoped you would notice.

Best FF That Makes Me Go All Wistful and Goopy over Numbers. Apparently, in My Secret Heart of Hearts, I Think Prime Numbers Are Just Adorable.

I join you in your complete adoration of this story. Also? I dreamed a sequel. I suspect this is a bad sign. And yes, the child is the best child EVAH, and also, I love the way liviapenn took Rodney's canonical attitude towards children and turned it into an actual rearing strategy *g* And Jonas! And, and, the emails! And.. yeah, I adore this :)

I dreamed a sequel.

Oh, how that's happened to me. Not with this story, but with others.

Possibly this means I should get out more.

I love the way liviapenn took Rodney's canonical attitude towards children and turned it into an actual rearing strategy *g* And Jonas! And, and, the emails!

Yes! Precisely! On all counts! I understand why SG1 fans didn't take to Jonas, but since I didn't have to suffer through the whole Meridian trauma, I like him a lot.

And Rodney's attitude towards kids. And also the emails.

Basically, I just adore the story.

Don't even try to picture it, because you will be sorry

Too late. *is very sorry indeed*

I thought when I saw the subject line of this post that it was going to be a set of recs about Ivan Vorpatril, and I thought to myself, I didn't know there were that many stories about Ivan! Hope springs eternal. Now I will read Scrubs stories instead.

Too late. *is very sorry indeed*

Did you picture Blair in the Robin panties? Because that's what I did. I will probably need therapy.

I thought when I saw the subject line of this post that it was going to be a set of recs about Ivan Vorpatril

Holy cow. I looked at that and wondered if anyone would think I meant Ivan Vorpatril, but I decided I was probably alone in associating the name so strongly with That Idiot Ivan. (Who, seriously. I like him a lot better than Aral did.)
