rachg82Well, I made it.
Three excedrin at noon, ice-pack on the head for three or four hours, no improvement. At four o'clock, three more excedrin, still no improvement. Got a little desperate and took a fourth one around 4:40, and ate a bit more (had forced lunch down, earlier). Still? No improvement. Made it through the first couple hours of work, trying to keep my head as still as possible, and tune out the screaming, crying children around me, and took three more excedrin around eight, when I also ate dinner. Did it work? NO. Took a fourth one AGAIN, around nine. It is now one o'clock in the morning, I just got home from work a bit ago, and my head is just now finally starting to feel okay. After taking three more excedrin, when I arrived home. Now, I've had headaches like this before, and much worse, but having to deal with one of these--which I consider the Stubborn Migraines, because no matter what you do, they ain't going nowhere till they feel ready--on a Friday night, the weekend before Christmas? I am one bad mother. Somewhere in India right now, there's a dude walking on hot coals, going "Da-amn, she's tough."
Heh. Well, I like to think so, anyway. *gives self pat on the back*
If it hadn't been for the Headache From Hell, my night would've been okay, really. I mean, for a Friday night at this time of year, considering we were short (Lindsey no-showed again), we did pretty damn well. Chin Pubes was all cheery about it. Heh. He walked by junior's and went "Junior's looks FANTASTIC!" I was like "Whee!" At the end of the night though, he asked us to go down to hardware, and we were all "What? Is this a joke?" because normally, they always joke about us having to go down there. It'll be time to go, and someone will be all "Wait, you guys have to go down and do inventory on the tools. Ha!" and we're all "Don't make me hurt you." Hee. We were only down there for a second though; Henara and I were all playing with the foos-ball tables. Heh. Then Chin Pubes was like "Okay, I didn't really call you guys down here to torture you. I just wanted to prove a point to the other managers, that we have to stay until everything looks good and clean and all, and they aren't doing enough. So, tomorrow I'm going to tell them you all had to stay down here for an hour. If they ask, that's what you say. So they'll feel guilty." Hee. I'm a bad liar though, dude. I'll be all "Yeah, we stayed for an hour! Sure did! Okay, so we only were down there for about five minutes. Playing foos ball. And oohing and aahing at the Christmas decorations. D'oh!"
A nice plus was that my hair looked purty tonight, as well as last night. Want to know why? Because it knows I'm going to get it done soon, so it's all "What's that? Thinking of cutting/altering it? You SURE about that?" Stupid, manipulative hair. Heh.
EvilJenna is starting to open up a tad. So very shy! Meanwhile I'm also capable of being very shy and anxious around people, but tend to end up being all loud and obnoxious a lot of the time. Heh. Which is why most people who knew me in real life would probably be so shocked that I have social anxiety disorder. Just goes to show though, that you never know about people. My sister and Mom have made lots of comments over the last year, about how well I'm doing in public, and how I don't seem to be anxious while eating in public or whatever at all anymore. And a lot of those times, I actually would've been so anxious during the actual situation, I wanted to just get up and leave. But they had no clue. Anyway, I just think that's interesting, how people can cover up stuff so much in life. Makes me wonder about people around me. You know, like if there's all sorts of stuff I don't know. But then again, I'm nosy. Heh. Anyway though, yeah, you were right dosi, she is slowly starting to talk more, now. Still really quiet, though. I feel even louder and more obnoxious, around her, in comparison. Hee. The guy on the speakers announces we're closed, and I'll like stop in the middle of what I'm doing, and just be all "Yay!" and I turn and someone is like staring at me. Heh. Kind of like how I always manage to look like an ass, in front of my lovah. The other night, I was all yelling "Shelley looks POOPED!", and then he walked by. Heh, classy.
Oh, I almost forgot! I had Santa as a customer tonight! Hee! He didn't have the costume on, though. Pity, that. But he had the beard, and when he walked, I heard bells, so they must have been in his bag or something. I got a kick out of it. I should've been like "I want a pony, Santa! No, wait! I want HIM!" and pointed at my lovah.
On another random note, thanks to fishy (who gave my contact), I talked to myopia girl on IM for the first time last night. She is just totally adorable. Because I'm as shameless as Aardsy, I'll share the adorable-ness. Plus, talk of dwarf!wrestling, biting![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nehallania, torrid romance novels and X Files fanfic! Good times!
alreadythatgone: ohh, well I'm sure she realized that; it was a long time ago, after all. Actually, what freaked the hell out of me was when this girl I hadn't seen since grade THREE recognized me, and I recongized her. You'd think we'd have changed in appearance, jeez.
rachmarieg: hee! i've only seen two people from middle school other than that, really. and none from elementary. so crazy! but if i did run into one, i wouldn't be surprised if they recognized me. it's not like i've grown or anything!
alreadythatgone: awww. *giggle* I stopped growing at like twelve. how annoying.
alreadythatgone: you could be like 'rachael? who's that? My name is...Anastasia!'
alreadythatgone: and then they'd feel really badly for thinking you were someone you're not!
rachmarieg: heh! that would be cool
alreadythatgone: I like tall shoes.
rachmarieg: i stopped growing at twelve too! well, wait, actually between 12 and 13, since that was my one big growth spurt
rachmarieg: to a whopping 4'10! amazon woman!
alreadythatgone: yes! I had my growth spurt the summer before grade seven!
alreadythatgone: Hey, you're not a dwarf!
alreadythatgone: I'm at the oh so stately 5'1 and a half, so you know, I tower over you.
rachmarieg: me too! hee, that's a great compliment, "hey, you're not a dwarf!"
rachmarieg: yeah, don't you feel tall, now?
alreadythatgone: I think we should wrestle. I've only wrestled with people much bigger than me.
rachmarieg: yes! if we ever meet, we'll wrestle. but can we have those fake sumo outfits? those are cool
alreadythatgone: Oooh! Those are SO classy!
rachmarieg: meta-ers could watch and place bets
alreadythatgone: I adore wrestling, except people always go 'you're small! I'd break you' and then I jump on them.
rachmarieg: us short people are fierce!
alreadythatgone: Yes! And there could be odds!
alreadythatgone: Damn skippy!
alreadythatgone: we could be like, the new horse-races. Oh how i love wrestling.
rachmarieg: hee. someone could yell "watch out myopia! she bites!" then you look at me, and i do that mini-me shrug, like "well, yeah"
alreadythatgone: HEE! But as long as you don't draw blood...
alreadythatgone: Then again, biting/scratching is so stereotypically catfighty. It's much less cool than wrestling.
rachmarieg: hee, i don't really bite, i just bare my teeth threateningly
rachmarieg: and growl
alreadythatgone: some people don't mind biting.
rachmarieg: that's true
alreadythatgone: Though I don't think many people would enjoy it in the context of a fight.
rachmarieg: i bet if i wrestled nehallania, i could bite her, and she'd be all "ooh, this reminds me of the time in '73, when me and three guys were. . ." and distract her, then pin her
alreadythatgone: except masochists. I like biting people on the shoulder lightly. people who are 5'8 are really, really good for that, I find.
alreadythatgone: hee hee hee! But biting is probably not exotic enough, you'd have to, like, get out handcuffs and pepperspray or something.
rachmarieg: hee! she'd be all "Pshaw! whatever, my last lover took a bat to me! you amateur!"
alreadythatgone: Hee! We are evil.
rachmarieg: i love nehallania, so it's in good fun
alreadythatgone: then you could be like 'baseball or winged?'
alreadythatgone: well, yeah, I know. :-)
alreadythatgone: OH MY GOD A SMILEY
. . .
alreadythatgone: I like Byron, but I find him hard to read sometimes--I have to concentrate to know what he means, which is a GOOD thing, but it takes awhile.
alreadythatgone: did you know he had a kid with his half-sister?
rachmarieg: yep
rachmarieg: i did a term project on him, freshman year of HS
alreadythatgone: my lit 12 teacher told us that. she was *so* cool.
alreadythatgone: much better than psycho english teacher.
alreadythatgone: really? I know what I learned about him in literature, was that he was a sexy bad man.
rachmarieg: he totally was! his wife tried to see if he was insane, because she ws all "i'll stay with you if you're crazy, because it's through sickness and health" but the doctor was all "he's not mad, just bad"
alreadythatgone: that? is awesome. I mean, it's evil, but that story is cool for some reason.
rachmarieg: bad to the bone!
rachmarieg: hee
alreadythatgone: yeah, his wife was all 'I can change him!'...but couldn't. Because life=not a romance novel, damnation.
rachmarieg: but he was awesome, like all traveling to greece to fight in the revolution. such a romantic archetype!
rachmarieg: <--nerd
alreadythatgone: If life were a romance novel I'd be in a marriage of convenience to a guy named Hawk and we'd have a lot of sex. so, you know. hee.
alreadythatgone: I LOVE this stuff. I don't know as much about him as you do, though. but hey...there's this movie and has Byron in it. I watched 20 minutes of it but then had to leave.
alreadythatgone: it was really weird.
rachmarieg: ooh, i'd be the virgin, all independent, but naive! then a guy could come and sweep me off my feet!
rachmarieg: really? crazy!
alreadythatgone: yes, and he'd be the rake! He'd had many women, but was captivated by your fiery innocence.
rachmarieg: yes!
alreadythatgone: I can be the evil nun who hits on you and he protects you from me.
rachmarieg: i totally want to be in a romance novel
alreadythatgone: <--is not a good romance novel heroine.
rachmarieg: a torrid one
rachmarieg: hah!
alreadythatgone: Torrid romance novels rule. I totally read them. It's so bad.
alreadythatgone: I want to write them, except I couldn't write the sex; I'd blush too much.
rachmarieg: i read one once, it was good times. but i used to also read sweet valley books like they were my job. they were sadly lacking in the torridness. but now i read xf fanfiction! hee
rachmarieg: wait, tmi
alreadythatgone: I could be in a CHRISTIAN romanve novel. they could reform me.
alreadythatgone: how is that tmi?? you didn't say anything about sex! I never read svu, but did read baby-sitter's club. the horror.
rachmarieg: heh, it's not tmi, i was just kidding
alreadythatgone: *giggle* ohhh, okay.
alreadythatgone: duh.
rachmarieg: i mean, because the fanfic is often full of bow chica bow wow-ness
alreadythatgone: want to hear something funny? when cobalt and I were in a library together we spent like an hour making fun of christian romance novels. THEY ARE REALLY FUNNY.
alreadythatgone: and they all have THE SAME PLOT.
rachmarieg: wait, they actually have christian romance novels? i so want to read one!
alreadythatgone: That's true, it is. I used to read fanfiction all the time.
alreadythatgone: yes, the Vancouver library was FILLED with them.
rachmarieg: you live in b.c.?
alreadythatgone: we were sitting by the racks of them picking them at random and reading excerpts.
alreadythatgone: yeah, Victoria.
rachmarieg: big up to the pacific northwest, yo! hee
alreadythatgone: ON AN ISLAND!
alreadythatgone: Woo, yeah baby. You're Oregon right?
rachmarieg: yep, portland
alreadythatgone: kickass! almost as kickass as CHRISTIAN ROMANCE NOVELS.
rachmarieg: hee, you're all "stop sidetracking me! back to the topic!"
alreadythatgone: where the plot is always 'one person is a believer. the other has lost their faith. the first person shows them how to love and believe again'.
alreadythatgone: bwahahah! I'm fixated!
alreadythatgone: you know what is really icky about a lot of fanfiction? all the incest.
rachmarieg: heh! are they all PSA about the waiting till marriage?
alreadythatgone: yeah, and there's no sex in them.
alreadythatgone: often the heroine has a child, though.
alreadythatgone: either from another marriage or because she was a wild child.
alreadythatgone: and not converted yet.
rachmarieg: yeah, when a friend and i went in search of badfic once, i found a lot of shit
rachmarieg: my innocence was so tarnished!
alreadythatgone: my friend has written some of it. there was a badfiction thread at mbtv-that-was and my friend's fiction got pointed to a couple of times. *die*
rachmarieg: ha!
rachmarieg: scary
alreadythatgone: it isn't badly written, but some of the stuff she's written about is scary.
rachmarieg: ooh, like what?
alreadythatgone: umm. harry potter incest.
rachmarieg: oh, man
alreadythatgone: yeah, I KNOW.
alreadythatgone: it was twins.
alreadythatgone: I think. I didn't read it.
rachmarieg: i'm surprised she told you she wrote it
alreadythatgone: she told everyone she wrote it. it's accepted in that fandom.
alreadythatgone: I am just not that open-minded, dude.
rachmarieg: really? in harry potter fic, people are all "incest fic? so blase. big deal"?
alreadythatgone: in the slash community? yes.
alreadythatgone: it's mostly just that the Weasley twins are always having sex.
rachmarieg: ohh, okay.
rachmarieg: are they at least grown up? tell me they are
rachmarieg: heh
alreadythatgone: I mean, there are harry potter authors who are in different groups, or whatever, and the type of story they write is different.
alreadythatgone: I think...usually around 17-18.
rachmarieg: right, like most shows
alreadythatgone: I haven't READ A WHOLE LOT OF IT. heeee!
rachmarieg: right, right. you know you have tons of harry potter incest fic on your hard-drive!
alreadythatgone: there's the harry potter slash community, which is really big and insane, but sort of cool--the incest thing is the only freaky thing. then there's the serious het writers, and the leetle keeds who write about harry and hermione rather badly. hee.
alreadythatgone: Oh, you have found my secret!
alreadythatgone: okay, ew
rachmarieg: yeah, xf has het and slash too. i've never seen any incest fic in it, though.
alreadythatgone: well, there aren't really popular siblings in xf.
alreadythatgone: like twins.
alreadythatgone: they call it 'twincest.' it's frightening.
alreadythatgone: I used to read X-Files but lost interest before I got into fanfiction at all.
rachmarieg: well, both mulder and scully had sisters. and there's lots of pre-xf fic, where the fic takes place before the start of the show. but still no incest
alreadythatgone: non-incest RULES.
rachmarieg: were you a shipper?
rachmarieg: hee
rachmarieg: big up to non-incest! whoo!
alreadythatgone: I don't remember. I was young when I watched. I remember thinking in season 2 that it was cute that mulder was so upset when scully was abducted.
alreadythatgone: Yeeeah! You know what my favourite thing is?
alreadythatgone: NON INCEST.
rachmarieg: you know what i love? when fanfic doesn't make me want to CLAW OUT MY EYES
rachmarieg: hee
alreadythatgone: then I watched for a few more years, but wasn't really 'they should have sex.' but then I was an EXTREMELY prudish kid.
alreadythatgone: Aww, but bad fanfiction is so entertaining!
rachmarieg: some is, but certain plots just make me want to curl up in a ball and weep
alreadythatgone: really? Like what?
alreadythatgone: overdone plots?
rachmarieg: yeah, and bad characterization
alreadythatgone: oh, man, characterization is a really, really weak point of most fanfiction.
rachmarieg: there's lots of good stuff in xf, though
rachmarieg: if you know where to look
alreadythatgone: I can imagine that--it all seems very plotty to me, and xf was so confusing!
rachmarieg: god, yes
alreadythatgone: and I stopped watching altogether around when the movie came out, but I HEARD about some of what happened afterwards, rather like the creators were slightly crazy...
alreadythatgone: did mulder and scully have sex? and get together at the end? because people don't seem sure, or something.
rachmarieg: hee. you have no idea!
rachmarieg: they macked, yo! and had a baby. but you're talking to a shipper, here. hee
alreadythatgone: *giggle* so they got it oooon.
rachmarieg: it didn't show them have sex, though.[/bitter]
alreadythatgone: porn!
rachmarieg: got it awwwwwwn
rachmarieg: i wanted my bow chica bow wow!
alreadythatgone: so we don't know what circumstances led to them having the sex?
rachmarieg: and the luuuuuuurve
alreadythatgone: 'THE SEX' hee.
rachmarieg: they don't even say when it happenned, really! like, how long, or anything. but there's hints
rachmarieg: zee sex
rachmarieg: hee
rachmarieg: i think it was season seven
alreadythatgone: oh, man! I bet fanfiction writers go CRAZY about that.
alreadythatgone: hee! 'how long'.
alreadythatgone: fifteen minutes!
rachmarieg: ha! i didn't mean it like that, but sure
alreadythatgone: i wonder if they were good in bed.
alreadythatgone: okay, I really don't.
rachmarieg: i bet fireworks went off
rachmarieg: i do
rachmarieg: hee
alreadythatgone: clearly someone is sex-deprived here. wondering about a show she didn't really watch!
alreadythatgone: mm, fireworks. *giggle* did you ever write fanfiction?
rachmarieg: heh! no, i never wrote it. but i did inspire the plots of a couple!
alreadythatgone: ooh. did you get written into any fanfiction?
rachmarieg: no, but one was dedicated to me. because i supplied the idea
alreadythatgone: *cracks up* a friend of mine wrote me into a story and I got to kiss Hermione from Harry Potter. I don't even READ Harry Potter! but all my friends do.
alreadythatgone: well, not all, but a certain group.
alreadythatgone: she was 20-something and I was 18, so she was a cradle-robber.
rachmarieg: heh!
rachmarieg: you were molested
alreadythatgone: I WAS A MARY SUE.
rachmarieg: excellent
alreadythatgone: er, not really, but I was an original character and since I was me I was flawless. It was surprising how accurate some of it was, like the dialogue SOUNDED LIKE ME.
alreadythatgone: I would write you into fanfiction if I wrote it!
alreadythatgone: want to snog Stockwell Day?
rachmarieg: hee, yes! i'd love to be in an xf fic, and sass everyone around
alreadythatgone: that would be so funny!
alreadythatgone: you can be like 'just do it already!' er.
rachmarieg: YES! and i'd be telling that bitch diana to step off!
rachmarieg: except you don't know who that is probably
alreadythatgone: Stockwell Day; http://www.stopstockday.homestead.com/files/day5.jpg
alreadythatgone: I don't...wait. I remember that name.
rachmarieg: she was around at the end of the season before the movie, so maybe you did see her a little
alreadythatgone: yeah, I did! i remember people hated her.
alreadythatgone: more stockwell; http://www.pixelzone.com/pixelzone/yearlypix01/images/DAY.jpg
rachmarieg: i'd get in a catfight with her, and then scully and i would go out for drinks at a bar
rachmarieg: because you know she'd be my best friend! since i'm a mary sue and all
alreadythatgone: hee! you could kick some ass so Scully could remain..dignified.
alreadythatgone: then i could sleep with diana.
alreadythatgone: i don't know.
alreadythatgone: Scully is short! I think.
rachmarieg: and then the next day, toss her a buck, and be all "gotta go, babe"
alreadythatgone: Hee! Yes!
alreadythatgone: Maybe she's good in bed.
rachmarieg: yeah, gillian anderson is like 5'2. but scully is supposed to be taller, i guess. they always tried to put her on higher ground, so she wouldn't be so short next to mulder
alreadythatgone: Okay, I'll stop talking about sex now, it's unnecessary. I am pure and innocent.
alreadythatgone: hee hee! scully is tall and stately!
rachmarieg: heh, as if! you go to meta. any innocence by now has been ruined
alreadythatgone: You have a point.
rachmarieg: i like the giant leaf behind the dude. heh, oh, canada
alreadythatgone: Canada is sexy!
alreadythatgone: MUCH LIKE ME.
rachmarieg: canada makes me think of sarah mclachlan
alreadythatgone: i love sarah mclachlan!
rachmarieg: bunch of birkenstock wearin' folk singin' lesbians!
rachmarieg: hee
alreadythatgone: but Canada makes me think of me.
rachmarieg: or something
alreadythatgone: mm lilith fair.
alreadythatgone: sarah's straight though. and married.
alreadythatgone: and with a kid.
rachmarieg: hee, i know
alreadythatgone: I TRIED--just kidding.
rachmarieg: heh! but then she got the restraining order against you
rachmarieg: you only wanted to love her!
alreadythatgone: I know! I just wanted to show her how I FELT!
alreadythatgone: damn oversensitive celebrities. that's the third one, too!
rachmarieg: sigh, you and sarah were meant for each other!
alreadythatgone: I think so
Heh. CUTE! And I totally do want to magically go into the XF world, and sass everyone around. Dude! That would ROCK. "Kersh! Stop innappropriately enunciating! Mulder! Kiss Scully! And GO GET YOUR FUCKING BABY! Skinner! Stop talking like you're constipated! Doggett! It's MUL-DER, not MOULD-ER. Scully! Where have all your buttons gone? Your shirt is barely holding on, woman! And buy some casual clothes! You can't only own suits, can you? It's not possible! Oh, and BRING BACK THE EYEBROW!"
Hee.
Three excedrin at noon, ice-pack on the head for three or four hours, no improvement. At four o'clock, three more excedrin, still no improvement.

He walked by junior's and went "Junior's looks FANTASTIC!" I was like "Whee!" At the end of the night though, he asked us to go down to hardware, and we were all "What? Is this a joke?" because normally, they always joke about us having to go down there. It'll be time to go, and someone will be all "Wait, you guys have to go down and do inventory on the tools. Ha!" and we're all "Don't make me hurt you." Hee. We were only down there for a second though; Henara and I were all playing with the foos-ball tables. Heh. Then Chin Pubes was like "Okay, I didn't really call you guys down here to torture you. I just wanted to prove a point to the other managers, that we have to stay until everything looks good and clean and all, and they aren't doing enough. So, tomorrow I'm going to tell them you all had to stay down here for an hour. If they ask, that's what you say. So they'll feel guilty." Hee. I'm a bad liar though, dude. I'll be all "Yeah, we stayed for an hour! Sure did! Okay, so we only were down there for about five minutes. Playing foos ball. And oohing and aahing at the Christmas decorations. D'oh!"
A nice plus was that my hair looked purty tonight, as well as last night. Want to know why? Because it knows I'm going to get it done soon, so it's all "What's that? Thinking of cutting/altering it? You SURE about that?" Stupid, manipulative hair. Heh.

Oh, I almost forgot! I had Santa as a customer tonight! Hee! He didn't have the costume on, though. Pity, that. But he had the beard, and when he walked, I heard bells, so they must have been in his bag or something. I got a kick out of it. I should've been like "I want a pony, Santa! No, wait! I want HIM!" and pointed at my lovah.
On another random note, thanks to fishy (who gave my contact), I talked to myopia girl on IM for the first time last night. She is just totally adorable. Because I'm as shameless as Aardsy, I'll share the adorable-ness. Plus, talk of dwarf!wrestling, biting
nehallania, torrid romance novels and X Files fanfic! Good times! alreadythatgone: ohh, well I'm sure she realized that; it was a long time ago, after all. Actually, what freaked the hell out of me was when this girl I hadn't seen since grade THREE recognized me, and I recongized her. You'd think we'd have changed in appearance, jeez.
rachmarieg: hee! i've only seen two people from middle school other than that, really. and none from elementary. so crazy! but if i did run into one, i wouldn't be surprised if they recognized me. it's not like i've grown or anything!
alreadythatgone: awww. *giggle* I stopped growing at like twelve. how annoying.
alreadythatgone: you could be like 'rachael? who's that? My name is...Anastasia!'
alreadythatgone: and then they'd feel really badly for thinking you were someone you're not!
rachmarieg: heh! that would be cool

rachmarieg: yeah, don't you feel tall, now?
alreadythatgone: I think we should wrestle. I've only wrestled with people much bigger than me.
rachmarieg: yes! if we ever meet, we'll wrestle. but can we have those fake sumo outfits? those are cool
alreadythatgone: Oooh! Those are SO classy!
rachmarieg: meta-ers could watch and place bets
alreadythatgone: I adore wrestling, except people always go 'you're small! I'd break you' and then I jump on them.
rachmarieg: us short people are fierce!
alreadythatgone: Yes! And there could be odds!
alreadythatgone: Damn skippy!
alreadythatgone: we could be like, the new horse-races. Oh how i love wrestling.
rachmarieg: hee. someone could yell "watch out myopia! she bites!" then you look at me, and i do that mini-me shrug, like "well, yeah"
alreadythatgone: HEE! But as long as you don't draw blood...
alreadythatgone: Then again, biting/scratching is so stereotypically catfighty. It's much less cool than wrestling.
rachmarieg: hee, i don't really bite, i just bare my teeth threateningly
rachmarieg: and growl
alreadythatgone: some people don't mind biting.
rachmarieg: that's true
alreadythatgone: Though I don't think many people would enjoy it in the context of a fight.
rachmarieg: i bet if i wrestled nehallania, i could bite her, and she'd be all "ooh, this reminds me of the time in '73, when me and three guys were. . ." and distract her, then pin her
alreadythatgone: except masochists. I like biting people on the shoulder lightly. people who are 5'8 are really, really good for that, I find.
alreadythatgone: hee hee hee! But biting is probably not exotic enough, you'd have to, like, get out handcuffs and pepperspray or something.
rachmarieg: hee! she'd be all "Pshaw! whatever, my last lover took a bat to me! you amateur!"
alreadythatgone: Hee! We are evil.
rachmarieg: i love nehallania, so it's in good fun
alreadythatgone: then you could be like 'baseball or winged?'
alreadythatgone: well, yeah, I know. :-)
alreadythatgone: OH MY GOD A SMILEY
. . .
alreadythatgone: I like Byron, but I find him hard to read sometimes--I have to concentrate to know what he means, which is a GOOD thing, but it takes awhile.
alreadythatgone: did you know he had a kid with his half-sister?
rachmarieg: yep
rachmarieg: i did a term project on him, freshman year of HS
alreadythatgone: my lit 12 teacher told us that. she was *so* cool.
alreadythatgone: much better than psycho english teacher.
alreadythatgone: really? I know what I learned about him in literature, was that he was a sexy bad man.
rachmarieg: he totally was! his wife tried to see if he was insane, because she ws all "i'll stay with you if you're crazy, because it's through sickness and health" but the doctor was all "he's not mad, just bad"
alreadythatgone: that? is awesome. I mean, it's evil, but that story is cool for some reason.
rachmarieg: bad to the bone!
rachmarieg: hee
alreadythatgone: yeah, his wife was all 'I can change him!'...but couldn't. Because life=not a romance novel, damnation.
rachmarieg: but he was awesome, like all traveling to greece to fight in the revolution. such a romantic archetype!
rachmarieg: <--nerd
alreadythatgone: If life were a romance novel I'd be in a marriage of convenience to a guy named Hawk and we'd have a lot of sex. so, you know. hee.
alreadythatgone: I LOVE this stuff. I don't know as much about him as you do, though. but hey...there's this movie and has Byron in it. I watched 20 minutes of it but then had to leave.
alreadythatgone: it was really weird.
rachmarieg: ooh, i'd be the virgin, all independent, but naive! then a guy could come and sweep me off my feet!
rachmarieg: really? crazy!
alreadythatgone: yes, and he'd be the rake! He'd had many women, but was captivated by your fiery innocence.
rachmarieg: yes!
alreadythatgone: I can be the evil nun who hits on you and he protects you from me.
rachmarieg: i totally want to be in a romance novel
alreadythatgone: <--is not a good romance novel heroine.
rachmarieg: a torrid one
rachmarieg: hah!
alreadythatgone: Torrid romance novels rule. I totally read them. It's so bad.
alreadythatgone: I want to write them, except I couldn't write the sex; I'd blush too much.
rachmarieg: i read one once, it was good times. but i used to also read sweet valley books like they were my job. they were sadly lacking in the torridness. but now i read xf fanfiction! hee
rachmarieg: wait, tmi
alreadythatgone: I could be in a CHRISTIAN romanve novel. they could reform me.
alreadythatgone: how is that tmi?? you didn't say anything about sex! I never read svu, but did read baby-sitter's club. the horror.
rachmarieg: heh, it's not tmi, i was just kidding
alreadythatgone: *giggle* ohhh, okay.
alreadythatgone: duh.
rachmarieg: i mean, because the fanfic is often full of bow chica bow wow-ness
alreadythatgone: want to hear something funny? when cobalt and I were in a library together we spent like an hour making fun of christian romance novels. THEY ARE REALLY FUNNY.
alreadythatgone: and they all have THE SAME PLOT.
rachmarieg: wait, they actually have christian romance novels? i so want to read one!
alreadythatgone: That's true, it is. I used to read fanfiction all the time.
alreadythatgone: yes, the Vancouver library was FILLED with them.
rachmarieg: you live in b.c.?
alreadythatgone: we were sitting by the racks of them picking them at random and reading excerpts.
alreadythatgone: yeah, Victoria.
rachmarieg: big up to the pacific northwest, yo! hee
alreadythatgone: ON AN ISLAND!
alreadythatgone: Woo, yeah baby. You're Oregon right?
rachmarieg: yep, portland
alreadythatgone: kickass! almost as kickass as CHRISTIAN ROMANCE NOVELS.
rachmarieg: hee, you're all "stop sidetracking me! back to the topic!"
alreadythatgone: where the plot is always 'one person is a believer. the other has lost their faith. the first person shows them how to love and believe again'.
alreadythatgone: bwahahah! I'm fixated!
alreadythatgone: you know what is really icky about a lot of fanfiction? all the incest.
rachmarieg: heh! are they all PSA about the waiting till marriage?
alreadythatgone: yeah, and there's no sex in them.
alreadythatgone: often the heroine has a child, though.
alreadythatgone: either from another marriage or because she was a wild child.
alreadythatgone: and not converted yet.
rachmarieg: yeah, when a friend and i went in search of badfic once, i found a lot of shit
rachmarieg: my innocence was so tarnished!
alreadythatgone: my friend has written some of it. there was a badfiction thread at mbtv-that-was and my friend's fiction got pointed to a couple of times. *die*
rachmarieg: ha!
rachmarieg: scary
alreadythatgone: it isn't badly written, but some of the stuff she's written about is scary.
rachmarieg: ooh, like what?
alreadythatgone: umm. harry potter incest.
rachmarieg: oh, man
alreadythatgone: yeah, I KNOW.
alreadythatgone: it was twins.
alreadythatgone: I think. I didn't read it.
rachmarieg: i'm surprised she told you she wrote it
alreadythatgone: she told everyone she wrote it. it's accepted in that fandom.
alreadythatgone: I am just not that open-minded, dude.
rachmarieg: really? in harry potter fic, people are all "incest fic? so blase. big deal"?
alreadythatgone: in the slash community? yes.
alreadythatgone: it's mostly just that the Weasley twins are always having sex.
rachmarieg: ohh, okay.
rachmarieg: are they at least grown up? tell me they are
rachmarieg: heh
alreadythatgone: I mean, there are harry potter authors who are in different groups, or whatever, and the type of story they write is different.
alreadythatgone: I think...usually around 17-18.
rachmarieg: right, like most shows
alreadythatgone: I haven't READ A WHOLE LOT OF IT. heeee!
rachmarieg: right, right. you know you have tons of harry potter incest fic on your hard-drive!
alreadythatgone: there's the harry potter slash community, which is really big and insane, but sort of cool--the incest thing is the only freaky thing. then there's the serious het writers, and the leetle keeds who write about harry and hermione rather badly. hee.
alreadythatgone: Oh, you have found my secret!
alreadythatgone: okay, ew
rachmarieg: yeah, xf has het and slash too. i've never seen any incest fic in it, though.
alreadythatgone: well, there aren't really popular siblings in xf.
alreadythatgone: like twins.
alreadythatgone: they call it 'twincest.' it's frightening.
alreadythatgone: I used to read X-Files but lost interest before I got into fanfiction at all.
rachmarieg: well, both mulder and scully had sisters. and there's lots of pre-xf fic, where the fic takes place before the start of the show. but still no incest
alreadythatgone: non-incest RULES.
rachmarieg: were you a shipper?
rachmarieg: hee
rachmarieg: big up to non-incest! whoo!
alreadythatgone: I don't remember. I was young when I watched. I remember thinking in season 2 that it was cute that mulder was so upset when scully was abducted.
alreadythatgone: Yeeeah! You know what my favourite thing is?
alreadythatgone: NON INCEST.
rachmarieg: you know what i love? when fanfic doesn't make me want to CLAW OUT MY EYES
rachmarieg: hee
alreadythatgone: then I watched for a few more years, but wasn't really 'they should have sex.' but then I was an EXTREMELY prudish kid.
alreadythatgone: Aww, but bad fanfiction is so entertaining!
rachmarieg: some is, but certain plots just make me want to curl up in a ball and weep
alreadythatgone: really? Like what?
alreadythatgone: overdone plots?
rachmarieg: yeah, and bad characterization
alreadythatgone: oh, man, characterization is a really, really weak point of most fanfiction.
rachmarieg: there's lots of good stuff in xf, though
rachmarieg: if you know where to look
alreadythatgone: I can imagine that--it all seems very plotty to me, and xf was so confusing!
rachmarieg: god, yes
alreadythatgone: and I stopped watching altogether around when the movie came out, but I HEARD about some of what happened afterwards, rather like the creators were slightly crazy...
alreadythatgone: did mulder and scully have sex? and get together at the end? because people don't seem sure, or something.
rachmarieg: hee. you have no idea!
rachmarieg: they macked, yo! and had a baby. but you're talking to a shipper, here. hee
alreadythatgone: *giggle* so they got it oooon.
rachmarieg: it didn't show them have sex, though.[/bitter]
alreadythatgone: porn!
rachmarieg: got it awwwwwwn
rachmarieg: i wanted my bow chica bow wow!
alreadythatgone: so we don't know what circumstances led to them having the sex?
rachmarieg: and the luuuuuuurve
alreadythatgone: 'THE SEX' hee.
rachmarieg: they don't even say when it happenned, really! like, how long, or anything. but there's hints
rachmarieg: zee sex
rachmarieg: hee
rachmarieg: i think it was season seven
alreadythatgone: oh, man! I bet fanfiction writers go CRAZY about that.
alreadythatgone: hee! 'how long'.
alreadythatgone: fifteen minutes!
rachmarieg: ha! i didn't mean it like that, but sure
alreadythatgone: i wonder if they were good in bed.
alreadythatgone: okay, I really don't.
rachmarieg: i bet fireworks went off
rachmarieg: i do
rachmarieg: hee
alreadythatgone: clearly someone is sex-deprived here. wondering about a show she didn't really watch!
alreadythatgone: mm, fireworks. *giggle* did you ever write fanfiction?
rachmarieg: heh! no, i never wrote it. but i did inspire the plots of a couple!
alreadythatgone: ooh. did you get written into any fanfiction?
rachmarieg: no, but one was dedicated to me. because i supplied the idea
alreadythatgone: *cracks up* a friend of mine wrote me into a story and I got to kiss Hermione from Harry Potter. I don't even READ Harry Potter! but all my friends do.
alreadythatgone: well, not all, but a certain group.
alreadythatgone: she was 20-something and I was 18, so she was a cradle-robber.
rachmarieg: heh!
rachmarieg: you were molested
alreadythatgone: I WAS A MARY SUE.
rachmarieg: excellent
alreadythatgone: er, not really, but I was an original character and since I was me I was flawless. It was surprising how accurate some of it was, like the dialogue SOUNDED LIKE ME.
alreadythatgone: I would write you into fanfiction if I wrote it!
alreadythatgone: want to snog Stockwell Day?
rachmarieg: hee, yes! i'd love to be in an xf fic, and sass everyone around
alreadythatgone: that would be so funny!
alreadythatgone: you can be like 'just do it already!' er.
rachmarieg: YES! and i'd be telling that bitch diana to step off!
rachmarieg: except you don't know who that is probably
alreadythatgone: Stockwell Day; http://www.stopstockday.homestead.com/files/day5.jpg
alreadythatgone: I don't...wait. I remember that name.
rachmarieg: she was around at the end of the season before the movie, so maybe you did see her a little
alreadythatgone: yeah, I did! i remember people hated her.
alreadythatgone: more stockwell; http://www.pixelzone.com/pixelzone/yearlypix01/images/DAY.jpg
rachmarieg: i'd get in a catfight with her, and then scully and i would go out for drinks at a bar
rachmarieg: because you know she'd be my best friend! since i'm a mary sue and all
alreadythatgone: hee! you could kick some ass so Scully could remain..dignified.
alreadythatgone: then i could sleep with diana.
alreadythatgone: i don't know.
alreadythatgone: Scully is short! I think.
rachmarieg: and then the next day, toss her a buck, and be all "gotta go, babe"
alreadythatgone: Hee! Yes!
alreadythatgone: Maybe she's good in bed.
rachmarieg: yeah, gillian anderson is like 5'2. but scully is supposed to be taller, i guess. they always tried to put her on higher ground, so she wouldn't be so short next to mulder
alreadythatgone: Okay, I'll stop talking about sex now, it's unnecessary. I am pure and innocent.
alreadythatgone: hee hee! scully is tall and stately!
rachmarieg: heh, as if! you go to meta. any innocence by now has been ruined
alreadythatgone: You have a point.
rachmarieg: i like the giant leaf behind the dude. heh, oh, canada
alreadythatgone: Canada is sexy!
alreadythatgone: MUCH LIKE ME.
rachmarieg: canada makes me think of sarah mclachlan
alreadythatgone: i love sarah mclachlan!
rachmarieg: bunch of birkenstock wearin' folk singin' lesbians!
rachmarieg: hee
alreadythatgone: but Canada makes me think of me.
rachmarieg: or something
alreadythatgone: mm lilith fair.
alreadythatgone: sarah's straight though. and married.
alreadythatgone: and with a kid.
rachmarieg: hee, i know
alreadythatgone: I TRIED--just kidding.
rachmarieg: heh! but then she got the restraining order against you
rachmarieg: you only wanted to love her!
alreadythatgone: I know! I just wanted to show her how I FELT!
alreadythatgone: damn oversensitive celebrities. that's the third one, too!
rachmarieg: sigh, you and sarah were meant for each other!
alreadythatgone: I think so
Heh. CUTE! And I totally do want to magically go into the XF world, and sass everyone around. Dude! That would ROCK. "Kersh! Stop innappropriately enunciating! Mulder! Kiss Scully! And GO GET YOUR FUCKING BABY! Skinner! Stop talking like you're constipated! Doggett! It's MUL-DER, not MOULD-ER. Scully! Where have all your buttons gone? Your shirt is barely holding on, woman! And buy some casual clothes! You can't only own suits, can you? It's not possible! Oh, and BRING BACK THE EYEBROW!"
Hee.
