why did this take so long. D: : comments [stunt

I know, but I do needle you about it at your own journal, which I thought might seem excessive. I do need to ramble on and on about my Trek crack. The DVD's not out yet so it's not *right there in front of me* all the time which means it's trickier to write fic for which means I don't try to write much fic for it which means I don't talk about it nearly as much. Possibly I should give the ficcing a go. Couldn't hurt.

Hai speaking of pestering you have you got a chance to look over the Chapter 3 outline yet? I mean, if you're putting it off so that you can write me Sulu/Pike of deliciousness, that's totally okay. :D

And now to mercilessly tease you: in my fic, Sulu doesn't just like-like Pike. He wants to pledge undying loyalty and say, "Kirk? Kirk who?"

IT'S LIKE YOU CAN READ MY MIND. AND BY MY MIND, I MEAN THE ONE YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO THINK WITH MOST OF THE TIME.

And um, remember when I said it was soft-core porn? I wasn't lying. Don't look at this in Belk Lab, is what I'm saying.

Holy shirt, my life has shadowy half-visible Captain!wang in it now. I was not expecting that. O___o

The shapely (and humorously pale) Captain!ass was much more expected. Oh, BG, you have made some truly interesting film choices over the course of your long and surely distinguished career. Also WOW. I, ah, may have to set aside a discreet folder for this download.

You know, I didn't even know about Zalman King or the Red Shoe Diaries until this picspam. I missed so much by being a prudish 15-year-old. :(

He looks so different when he's younger, though. I might not have recognized him if I didn't already know who he was. He looks a bit like James Marsden with less floppy hair and a slightly narrower face. Although to be honest, part of it might just be that I'm not used to Captain Pike shoving nude masked wimmens around and being all naked and stuff. Well, not used to it onscreen anyway.

I am ashamed to admit that I saw the second National Treasure in theaters and I did recognize him there. I'M SORRY OKAY. I WAS GOING WITH MY FAMILY; THEY DIDN'T KNOW ANY BETTER.

Do you have a bootleg version? I wouldn't be able to fic without it for reference. I feel no guilt because I know I'll buy the DVD when it finally decides to come out. I'm getting the version with a digital copy! IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY THAT STUDIOS ARE DOING THAT NOW. It's like they're saying, "Go ahead! Make ridiculous icons! Use screencaps as your computer wallpapers and pretend the characters are watching you work! Dodgy manips? It's ok."

Also there is a communicator toy on Amazon.com. It's only ten dollars. I'm planning to buy my friend's violin but otherwise I would've ordered that thing like a week ago. Actually I might buy it ANYWAY because I had to work late tonight. Except it's a keychain, so it'll be small, and I want it real-sized.

*checks Amazon real quick*

OH MY GOD THEY HAVE A TRICORDER
*grabby hands*

Mmph, ok, focus. I am a responsible adult. I am a responsible adult. I don't need to go around wasting money on silly replica props, especially when I don't have any action figures yet. (Action figures are much more important and versatile, you see. You can bump their faces together and say "kiss kiss!")

And WOW did that ever wander off-topic.
I *am* putting it off to write Sulu/Pike, and school and work keep distracting me. :(

IT'S LIKE YOU CAN READ MY MIND. AND BY MY MIND, I MEAN THE ONE YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO THINK WITH MOST OF THE TIME.
Also, they fence. >D

Dude, you HAVE to check out the other picspams (again, not in Belk lab). BG apparently has done a whole slew of cheesy romance films, including a blatant Harlequin rip-off where he is a stableboy. I AM NOT LYING. This made me have an apoplexy this afternoon when I was watching "The Menagerie" and TOS!Pike started talking about how being a Starfleet captain is so stressful and lonely, and when he's stuck up in space he misses his horses.

I hadn't heard of Zalman King either, though I had heard whispers of David Duchovny hosting some salacious show. I think it has more to do with our date of birth than our age (um. I hope that makes sense.)

Well, not used to it onscreen anyway.
*is scandalized*

....

*is also delighted and proud*

Dude, I watched the Mummy sequel multiple times of my own volition. I feel no shame.

I don't - I have this paranoia that bootleg movies are going to make my computer explode for some reason and/or the RIAA is going to come banging on my door in the middle of the night and haul me off to solitary for stealing movies, despite knowing that both scenarios are so unlikely as to be ridiculous. But I hear the DVD's not very far off, so I figured I could wait.

IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY THAT STUDIOS ARE DOING THAT NOW. It's like they're saying, "Go ahead! Make ridiculous icons! Use screencaps as your computer wallpapers and pretend the characters are watching you work! Dodgy manips? It's ok."

Hee! "You should totally recreate that Kirk/Spock "Closer" vid with our film's footage! That'd be *awesome*. Not that we've, ah, watched the original or anything. Not at all. ahem."

OH MY GOD THEY HAVE A TRICORDER

DUDE I WANT ONE. NO ACTUALLY I WANT MY PHONE TO LOOK LIKE ONE. THAT WOULD PRETTY MUCH BE THE MOST AWESOME GEEKY THING I COULD DO.

Pssssh. What's the point of being an adult if you can't have a tricorder? That's not an adulthood I want any part of.

Also, they fence. >D

I am starting to worry that I just might not be able to handle this fic when I do finally read it. I might, I don't know, actually shut down for a bit in a completely undignified manner. I'll have to make sure I'm not in Belk Lab then either.

BG apparently has done a whole slew of cheesy romance films, including a blatant Harlequin rip-off where he is a stableboy. I AM NOT LYING.

Oh, I know you're not lying. I checked. Was that the one with the not at all phallic water hose he's washing the horse with? Yeah. Also, I've heard of the concept of the conspicuously shirtless stable boy as a joke so often that I sometimes forget the reason it's a cliche is because, in a whole lot of books and movies, there actually is a conspicuously shirtless stable boy. The world of the romance novel is a beautiful, baffling thing. :D

God, just look at those abs. I mean, really, I'm normally sort of meh on the prospect of chest hair, but I can definitely make an exception here. Whew.

ALSO, COWBOY HAT.

Dude, I watched the Mummy sequel multiple times of my own volition. I feel no shame.

But was it the sequel with the Scorpion King or the one with Jet Li? Because I, um, actually kinda like Scorpion King. Rick and Evey are darling which is unfortunate because it means I can't ship Rick/Ardeth Bey or Evey/Anak-su-namun with abandon. But they're so cute I forgive them for it.

I haven't seen the Jet Li version. Rachel Weiss wasn't even in it. :(

Mmm. Hey. About that Sulu/Pike... when I'm done with my hearts-and-sparkles Kirk/Pike, can we do some meta rambling? 'Cause I had the fic half-written and the rest of it outlined, all about Sulu's attitude toward Kirk's attitude toward Pike when he gets reinstated and I. I dunno. I think I got it wrong. :( Not too terribly wrong, and Sulu will still think Pike is awesome like pie, but mmph. idk. I need to talk about it. Next week, mebbe?

P.S. I'm reading the Memory e-mail right now. Have any of your concerns changed since you sent it? Do you still want me to focus on the same things?

[link] [parent] [reply]

Meta-rambling next week works so long as it's not too to late, as I'm trying to get in bed before midnight so I don't sleepwalk through my classes. Any particular day you'd prefer?

No new or altered concerns for Memory Chapter 3, since I really haven't been working on it aside from those deleted scenes that aren't going to get used anyway. Thank you so much for taking a peek at it; I really appreciate it.

[link] [parent] [reply]

Well, things have piled up a little bit (as they do) so my timeline is wonked up. I have a test this week, but beyond that my plan is to first (1) finish the Kirk/Pike, then (2) talk to you about Memory and after that (3) ramble about Sulu/Pike.

So let's just stick a pin in the rambling for now, k? Don't sweat it atm. (I assume the midnight "curfew" will remain constant for the rest of the semester.) :P

[link] [parent] [reply]

Pin being stuck. And yeah, I'm trying to stick to the curfew throughout, but whenever you get the chance is okay. Weekends might be a little tricky, though, as I've actually gone and Planned Things for the next two weekends zomg, but weekdays after 5 should be all right.
