La Vie De TKP crossover with Sue's Country Livin'

[lettered]

So, these past three days I was in Austin, and whaddaya know, there was crazydiamondsue! Although there was not Sueage as I had originally intended to write because I surreptitiously leaned very close and got a whiff and can faithfully report to you all that she smells nothing like sewage. And I also met elcazavampiros, and tried very hard not to call him Caza. He was tall, fun to talk to, and Anya-loving, and had a shiny metal. Both Sue and I suggested he put it in a drawer and wear the hardness about his eyes. Because it's one of the best lines in fiction ever! But instead he had to wear it a lot. And I wore the cowboy hat he got with shiny fringe! That was after the margaritas.

So, flist & Curious Others, here is the REAL skinny on Sue, in case you've been wondering from someone IN THE KNOW (*gratuitous winking*). She didn't put a bag over my head and drag me off into a mysterious forest to have her way with me (except for that one time), and she's cute, with curly hair, and a good dresser, very color coordinated, with orange. She's also funny and witty and able to quote "The Yoko Factor", and laughs appropriately when I quote things, and did cheese-stick theater except with remotes. She's also smart and insightful and honest and talktoable about stuff, though stuff always makes its way back to Buffy or Angel or Xander or Anya or Hot, which is a good thing, and she taught me how to pronounce various lj names, which was nice but caused my whole world view to tilt.

I lugged her out to meet my brother and sister-in-law, which in retrospect wasn't the best idea because they can't talk Buffy. But we did see the Poncho Guitar Statue Guy with the ducks, and then we saw bats. See, there's this ritual in Austin where a bunch of tourists congregate under a bridge and turn their faces up towards the sky, lips parted, with a kind of worshipful stance, gazing toward Gotham Tower where Mr. Freeze lives. And then, of a sudden, there is a cloud of smoky dark up from under a bridge, and out swooping come eleventyseventbajillionandone bats, to rival the bat cave bats and then some. Then everyone starts doing under-the-bridgey things like sex and booze and murder and jazzercise and building fires in trashcans while Michael Keaton, Adam West, and Christain Bale fight naked slathered in guano. Okay, it's possible I kinda embellished that last part; there might not have been actual jazzercise. But I HEARD it.

So, in conclusion. Sue is the Sue I knew except cooler, and also with brighter eyes and smaller feet. Caza is a Very Important Person who goes to blowing bubble conferences. dovil is pronounced Doovil. I make the bestest cookies this side of Oklahoma; lots of people said hi to me on Sue's journal which Sue relayed and to which I say hi back; B/A spit is worth the wait, and I had a really nice time.

Except for the headache and fever and puking.

ETA: I feel much better now. It was a thing that hit especially hard that first night but kinda slithered off after that. I thought it was food poisoning but others I ate with that night have since said they're convinced it was a small virusy thing. I guess we wait until Sue gets back to find out if I infected her or Caza. Fun!

How can you describe such a good time and end it on that note? You okay?

[lynnenne]

I'M BEING QUOTED! I'm, like, part of the popular culture! The Simpsons could do a satire on me! *thuds to the floor in shock*

This is the coolest thing to happen to me since I discovered slash. *beams*

[rahirah]

Doovil? DOOVIL? Say it ain't so! My world depends on dovil rhyming with, uh... O-ville.

YAY! Glad you and Sue and Caza had such a fabulous time! Well, except for the headache and fever and puking, of course.

[dlgood.livejournal.com]

So Caza's a dude? Good to know. Glad you had fun.

My world was askew without you!

But I am so glad you had a wonderful time.

And if you had said that after all those bats came out, you saw Dick Greyson, I might have driven down to you straightaway. The fact that some people think he is only pen-and-ink is their problem.

I have a drabble up. Go back a day and you'll find it.

My favrite mispronunciation of a user name was spicedrum. I was convinced it was spice-drum because I am an idiot.

*twirls you carefully*

Glad you had a wonderful time, bay~bee.

Tf I was wondering what was up with the lack of updates and the whole you going somewhere else thing must've slipped my mind. Hm.

That last part IS funny.

Caza is a Very Important Person who goes to blowing bubble conferences.
Bwahahaha! He should rule the world ::nods::
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese! :)
Glad you had a good time! Eeeee! :)

I'm so happy that you and Sue had a wonderful time!!! Yay!!! And you got to meet Caza!! How very awesome!!

I frequently pronounce things wrong in my head if I've never heard them before, so I suspect I'm very wrong on some username pronunciations. I also thought dovil was pronounced differently. When I first saw "meme" I imagined it like memo but with an "e" sound at the end, when it really should be meeeeem (or something like that).

Now I want to go to Austin for the bats and jazzercize!!!

I am glad to hear you're feeling better!

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

Yay for fun with Sue and Caza! Dooovil? I had no idea.

So sorry you were sick. It sounds like it might have been food poisoning, if it was for one night only.

[tinpanalley.livejournal.com]

It's always fun to read the stories of how LJ-ers meet and this was no exception! Sounds like you guys have a great time!

And, I'm glad you're feeling better!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you had fun with the OKC crowd!

What's this about a surrey hat with the friiiiiinge on top? *snerk*

[anelith.livejournal.com]

I called Sue the day she and Caza were travelling to Austin and chatted with her a bit, and I asked her if she was going to see the bats. It's the only thing I know about Austin! So I'm glad to know that bats were seen.

So glad that virus thing lasted only 8 hours or so, it sounds horrible.

I'm hooooome! After many trying experiences. Our water pump gave out in Gainesville, but luckily it was still under warranty. Unluckily, it wasn't available until this morning, so we were Ramada-ing it last night. God. Sooo glad to be home.

Then everyone starts doing under-the-bridgey things like sex and booze and murder and jazzercise and building fires in trashcans while Michael Keaton, Adam West, and Christain Bale fight naked slathered in guano. Hahahahaha! It's like I was there! Oh, man, I totally forgot about Jazzercise.

You still look like your LJ icon to me. *wears orange 4-eva* I am home and Caza's medal is in a drawer, but the hardness? Yes. Still around his eyes. (See how I avoided that double entendre there?)

I'm glad you had a good time. I am jealous that so many of my awesome new LJ friends are so far away! But sometimes they, or I, come close to one another so it's all good. I originally got an LJ to stay in touch with people in Florida, but now I have all new people to stay in touch with!

Hope your further travels are as loverly.
