lost at the crosswalk

[aesc]

Good news: Dave the car now has a new window. People had seriously better leave him the fuck alone from now on, or I'm going to see about a surveillance system and a rocket launcher.

Emotional news: I am feeling kind of sloppy and weepy today (WHY???? Did I have sex and get pregnant and mistake it for taking exam notes?) and am really not making it better by listening to sad, vaguely emo stuff on the iPod--I mean, "The Trapeze Swinger" on repeat is not what you listen to when you want to feel better. Must stop wallowing, because I am going home in less than two weeks and everything is goddamn fine, h, seriously.

Also, I just had a massive cup of profoundly, profoundly strong coffee. Is it possible to wallow and be hyper at the same time? I think it is, so for the next few hours I can be emo faster and with more energy.

Working news: Due to squirrelishness, I really do not want to be taking notes on the Book of the Day (which is actually quite interesting, just... not what I want to be doing right now). Instead, I really, desperately want to write something, but I have--perhaps strategically--left all the updated versions of Current Projects on my home computer.

Ficturespam news: I haven't done the "Miller's Crossing" ficturespam yet for two reasons: 1) the unbelievable suckiness of the quality of the screencaps I pulled (where are all the hi-def, large versions??? *woe*), and 2) I really have no idea how to write it. I loved the episode, but it's one of those that doesn't seem to want to translate the way "Doppelganger" did.

I think you should just write some snuggly boy porn. I think that would make me you feel a lot better. *nods sagely* Rodney agrees! *points*

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Oh, porn. *siiighs*

[amberlynne.livejournal.com]

Okay, maybe snuggly boys....drinking mocha peppermint lattes?

::pats you:: Oh lovie. It'll get better. I think the emo blues are caused by the shorter days. I have been the same way. Except I keep listening to "Gravity."

(I love 'The Trapeze Swinger' so much. I wanted to change my lj name to 'eloquentgraffiti', but it's one character too long. :()

I'm glad Dave is okay. :x

[aesc.livejournal.com]

The line that "eloquent graffiti" comes in always makes me a bit teary. Always, always.

And Dave says thank you :) Though I think he liked having a few days off, just sitting in the garage, chillin'.

asdsf;lkdf I used to live in Florida, and though I've lived up north for eight years now I still haven't managed to get used to the almost complete lack of sun during the winter. *contemplates asking for a full-spectrum lamp for Christmas*

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Mmmmmm... mocha peppermint latte. Ahhhh.

If I wasn't so wired on this coffee, I would totally have some of that.

*doodles out latte-inspired notes*

[beadattitude.livejournal.com]

They really help, but don't sit in front of them at night, for goodness' sake, or it'll be like chugging a huge coffee.

[aesc.livejournal.com]

\o/ On the Christmas list it goes!

*snorfles you gratefully*

[sheafrotherdon.livejournal.com]

I dunno what this song is!

I think we should all get back in bed. For this week is SUCK-ING. *waves fists*

[aesc.livejournal.com]

asdslkjf I will find some way to get it to you! For it is very very good.

Bed is a very, very good idea. *looks at watch* in six hours, I can go home and become one with it.

[amberlynne.livejournal.com]

I think chocolate-mint flavored kisses are mighty tasty. *nods*

[barefoot-chick.livejournal.com]

*friending you* Your journal is made of awesome and win. I think I found you through sapote3. Hope you don't mind!

Oh, and you made me appreciate Joe Flannigan just a little bit better. My motto is "David Hewlett, how are you so awesome?" and my current obsession is McShep. *sigh* Yes, I've come over to the dark side. YAY

I've been having emo grad school blues, too, lately. D: I'm in the midst of finals and I genuinely do not care about this massive final presentation I have on Thursday. Which is bad because I suspect it contributes to a large portion of my grade in a class where I'm already dubious as to how I'm doing. But I still just can't get myself to care. Instead I feel like flumping on the bed a la Shep. *points to icon*

Also, not sure if they're better than yours, but I have caps of Miller's Crossing here (http://winkingstar.livejournal.com/121126.html) if you'd like.

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you! Mostly it is writing and whining, really :D

Yes, I've come over to the dark side. YAY

\o/

(Also, a greater appreciation of Joe is always a very good thing.)

[aesc.livejournal.com]

When it comes to work, all I feel like doing is whining and flailing extravagantly. I have no motivation, I'm a bit stressed (not from a lot of work, just from really annoying General Grad School Headaches).

Flumping on the bed a la Shep is very good. Preferably *with* Shep, but right now, I'll take what I can get :D

Also, not sure if they're better than yours, but I have caps of Miller's Crossing

They definitely look better! Mine are just... asdsflkjf, oh the quality makes me cringe, and no matter what I've done, I can't get them to look decent.

I, of course, had to think about Nantucket!John when I was flipping through the campus paper's sports section and saw the Patriots came back to beat the Ravens with, like, a minute left, and John bouncing around and muttering/shouting encouragement and advice at Brady ("Oh, the boyfriend again," Rodney would say, rolling his eyes) and then when they get that last-second touchdown, there would be much whooping and hollering and Rodney would be buffeted by John's enthusiastic elbows and he would squawk indignantly when John grabs him and kisses him soundly on the mouth.

[amberlynne.livejournal.com]

Hahaha. OMG! That game almost killed me. But I am actually enjoying the Patriots more now because I share my love with Nantucket!John. Yay for pretty boys and sports and the lovely lady who writes about them! ;)

"The Trapeze Singer" will always and forever be my Rodney-thinking-about-tragic-John song, and it is all your fault. Because of that time that I took those prompts and then failed to be in any way prompt about them. Largely because of that song, I think; I keep trying to write that story, take it out and look at it often even, and never quite get past feeling like I've missed the heart of it.

But yes. Your fault. Thanks. *hug*

[stillane.livejournal.com]

A) "The Trapeze Singer" is the one that got away, fic inspiration-wise. I've been trying to write that story for... sadly, I think it can be measured in years, now. *sigh*

This could be because I'm too busy being thumped in the chest every time I hear it.

B) Sorry you have been experiencing the suck. *hug*

C) Where is the high def? I need to see this in its full glory, and soon. I want to watch John shatter in astonishing detail, damn it.

[strifechaos.livejournal.com]

WHY???? Did I have sex and get pregnant and mistake it for taking exam notes?)
*snorts* I know how that feels. Finals Week is a bitch. I can't wait for this quarter to be over so I can actually get some peace and not feel guilty for sleeping "because I could be studying right now!". *flails*

[ainsley.livejournal.com]

Hyper emo! Isn't that what all those eyeliner-ed boys with the weird hair who sing are?

[aesc.livejournal.com]

A) It really is a spectactularly heart-thumpy song. Every time I hear it I get all snuffly, and it's so weirdly John and Rodney that it makes me even snufflier if I think about it in that context.

B) Really, any time the world wants to stop, it can *hates*

C) I dunno!!! I haven't seen any of the large, very astonishingly detailed versions yet. Maybe if I'm good, for Christma I can see "Miller's Crossing" on my parents' very nice HD widescreen.

It's so weird... very little of my stress is, at the moment, school-related. (Last week it was, but most of that's blown over, or has decided to lurk until January.) Noooo, the stress is all not-school, which is kind of disorienting. I mean, I'm used to not having to deal with the real world in most of its manifestations *wry look*

[aesc.livejournal.com]

I think you will have to ask the bandom people that :D

[ainsley.livejournal.com]

So you didn't suddenly feel the need to get on stage with a guitar and kiss women?

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Not at that particular moment, no.

But I did suddenly feel the need to get on stage and kiss Joe Flanigan with a guitar, which is almost the same thing. It involves stages, guitars, and kissing, at least.

[ainsley.livejournal.com]

IMO, not at ALL the same thing. But I have friends who would disagree.

[aurora]

The line that "eloquent graffiti" comes in always makes me a bit teary. Always, always.
Yes!! I get goose bumps every single time.

[aurora]

"The Trapeze Singer" will always and forever be my Rodney-thinking-about-tragic-John song, and it is all your fault.
*meep* Sorry about that.

(But yes, that song always makes me shiver.)
