I ... want a lot.

[schmerica]

Last night I had a dream where cidercupcakes had written a novel that could basically be boiled down to "Napoleonic Wars meet Mr & Mrs Smith". It was pretty awesome -- competent married Regency spies wooo! -- and now that I have woken up I am kind of bummed it doesn't exist.

In the comments to the last entry I was telling kristiinthedark about how I was thinking about Ray and Fraser in a blackout. It would be while they're busy doing something, maybe for a case, examining some large and busy room or something. The lights go out, it's pitch black, Ray is twitchy and keeps moving around, bumping into things and cursing, until Fraser tells him to quit and stay in one place. Which Ray is probably bitchy about, but he stays still anyway, and Fraser asks him to keep talking, so he can find him by the sound of his voice (like Marco Polo). So Ray is standing still all alone in the pitch black and forced to just keep talking to himself about stupid things, until Fraser finds him, and that shuts him up because Fraser's right in front of him, so close you can feel the heat of his body and his breath. And then THEY KISS FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, in the dark, and it is awesome until the lights suddenly go back on again, and then they pull apart and are awkward and stupid and pretend for days/weeks that it never happened and don't talk about it at all.

Sigh. Booooooys.

In news that will shock absolutely no one, Paul Gross is still distgustingly attractive. Um, ignore the last one, though. Stick to the candids of "my god."

I spent an unhealthy amount of time yesterday looking through Amazon.com and making lists of all the dvds I would need once I was filthy stinking rich and things like food, rents, and debt were not an issue. Heroes! Arrested Development s3! How I Met Your Mother! Grey's s3! Deadwood! Rome! Doctor Who! NCIS! Joan of Arcadia! Newsradio! I want it all. Is that so wrong?

It's too hot for September, and I'm really really excited about my Latin textbook coming in the mail.

Hey, you're going to WRITE that blackout, aren't you? PLEASE?!?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*grins* If I thought that I might write it, I wouldn't have shared it! I don't know, it feels to me like it belongs as a scene in a big long plotty story, which is the kind I would never write.

I worked out that, were I to win big on the lottery, I would cheerfully blow about a grand on DVDs in about an hour on amazon. When the delivery came I think I would explode from glee and possibly over-stimulation. This would then lead to about a month of minimal sleep but this would not matter as I could be a rich recluse with high-speed internet access which I could order lovely foodstuffs over.

*sigh* I can only hope.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Mmmm, and then I could get started on buying the BOOKS.

[kaj-22.livejournal.com]

Oh that would take me a good week!

[snarkyducky.livejournal.com]

your blackout!fic sounds fabulous! ♥
and thank you for sharing those PG pics.. those are just asking to be manipped with lit!professor screencaps from the trailer.. ;D

He is such a gorgeous man it scares me sometimes.

[fox1013.livejournal.com]

I think the best way to handle that first paragraph is to make her write it.

*is helpful!*

[cidercupcakes.livejournal.com]

YOU ARE VILLAIN!

[fox1013.livejournal.com]

I love you.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Well, I didn't want to MAKE her, but now that she's come up with the notion HERSELF...

[cidercupcakes.livejournal.com]

...well, now I'm going to have to write that. Damn you.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

[nos4a2no9.livejournal.com]

Pearl! Please write the blackout fic! It doesn't have to be long and plotty at all! Just...with the darkness. And the kissing! And the awkwardness afterwards (booooys!) You have to do it, or someone will snatch it up for the angst/romance challenge. *makes with the shifty eyes*

And Mr. Gross is ageing really, really well. *dreamy sigh*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

or someone will snatch it up for the angst/romance challenge. *makes with the shifty eyes*

I am amused by how you seem to think that is a threat, rather than my fondest wish!

S1 Fraser is still my high point of all PG prettiness, but GOD. Yes. Way to age, sir.

[nos4a2no9.livejournal.com]

It's a kind of a threat. For reals :-)

And I like S2 Fraser myself. So, so lovely. But S1 Fraser has his appeal. Hey! Maybe this could be the new dS wank! S1 vs. S2 prettiness! And then some losers will come along and start talking about how S4 was all that, and the S3 people will get in their face...

Oh yes. I think I've found the new Ray wars. "The Fraser Prettiness Wars" has a nice ring to it, I think.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Oooh, you definitely have a point with S2 Fraser! He is really unholy-ly pretty in both those ones; now that I think about it, I'm not sure which I would point to.

The prettiest Fraser screencap ever is definitely season 2 though. Witness:

Awwww! He's so gorgeous there, and SUCH a woobie. With the half-closed eyes (eyelash porn!) and his sad little mouth...oh Fraser. Too, too beautiful. *sigh*

[kristiinthedark.livejournal.com]

... and then they had SEX, right? They need to be having the sex now, Pearl. You can't leave me hanging like this!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Awww, there has to be the nice long juicy period of awkward avoidance and denial before the sex! It makes it all the sweeter.

[starfishchick]

That fic sounds awesome. Doooo eeet!! :)
