The penguins have me.

[trinityofone]

Last night I dreamt that John Sheppard was being attacked by an evil penguin. He fought it off with a fireplace poker, but its flesh was too rubbery and the tip kept bouncing off. Also, it talked. Its voice and mannerisms were similar to those of Joe Pesci or maybe Danny DeVito--all it needed was a cigar to chomp between its beak

What I'm realizing is: researching this fic would require me to hang around the physics building, which would be a perfect excuse opportunity to stalk CuteIrishBoy!Alex. Hmm...

John was sent there on an army assignment

*coughAirForcecough*

[trinityofone]

your excuse opportunity, might also be equally as offputting.

You're clearly underestimating my mad euphemism skillz! "I'm doing research for a story" always suffices; or even, "I'm working on a very special project."

OK, fine, AirForce. But this is AU, so I can say whatever I want.

Sorry, I came down with a case of the Pedantics. I'm better now. ;-)

rodney is an emo boy with a lesbian backup band. john wants to party on his last night before he joins the army. wackiness ensues.

[trinityofone]

I got through rodney is an emo boy before I collapsed into giggles. I'm still down here. Will somebody help me up?

[wychwood]

So no, I am absolutely not trying to think of plausible reasons for them to be in Dublin, thank you for asking.

*raised eyebrow*
How plausible are we talking, here? *g* Also, do they have to be students?

Maybe Rodney accompanies John to Europe after the siege, because John is bound and determined to visit all the families of the dead soldiers - and one of the men who died was from Ireland, It is a multi-national force, after all. And while they're there, Rodney wants to see his old tutor, Professor O'Donnell, who is now head of the physics department at Trinity.

Or: Rodney did a JYA year (do they do that in Canada? Did Rodney go to university in Canada, for that matter?) at Trinity, and John was, um, backpacking around Europe. They meet in some comical fashion, and wackiness (as psychopepsquad says) ensues.

Or: Aliens give them freaky drugs, and make them think they are back on Earth! For some reason, they end up in "Trinity". More wackiness.

*smokes some more crack*

How long have you two been friends and I just didn't notice?

*goes slowly insane, but not from fandom*

[wychwood]

Muahaha :) Not long. Suddenly all your friends are into SGA! It's exciting! Thus I am spreading through your friendslist. Or something like that.

Anyway, you've been insane for years :p

I giggle like a loon every time I read this sentence. I don't know why. Just...Professor O'Donnell...

*laughter. tears*

ANYWAY...

do they do that in Canada? Did Rodney go to university in Canada, for that matter?

I have no idea, though I bet the answer to the first question is yes. But I need more backstory, dammit!

Aliens give them freaky drugs, and make them think they are back on Earth! For some reason, they end up in "Trinity". More wackiness.

There need to be more "Aliens give them freaky drugs and make them think they are back on Earth" stories. Or episodes! Or both!

*tokes up*

Anna, what are you doing for Christmas vacation?

[trinityofone]

Staying here; my parents and brother are going to come visit. Why? You're not going to be in Europe, are you? *ears perk up*

[dizzyditz]

How long is your break...will you have any free time during it?

[trinityofone]

I'm actually not sure how long it is, but pretty comparable to Berkeley's, I think. And while I do have to write a paper over it (!!!), I should have free time, and I will make time if it means I get to see you.

... Note to self: if ever you're in a band, call it The Lesbian Back-up Band.

[trinityofone]

You don't even need a real band. I have for years been the lead singer in a fictional band called The Hypothetical Poodles. Our hit single, "Monkey for Your Love," RAWKS.

[violin_road]

Aww man. I haven't been in a fictional band since junior high. *nostalgia!*
