Fun Family Facts in La Vie de TKP
Hi I'm sort of alive!
So this past week has been pretty crazy. If you posted something chances are I didn't read it, but don't link me to it now 'cause ... I still won't be able to read it.
But I'll be ghosting about, and should be back regularly by next week. Then I can read the rest of the IWRY Marathon stories, reply to emails, read fics, leave fb, and dump wild and crazy meta on you that's been stewing forever, and possibly also that cracktastic Spangel thing.
But for now, lots of family and lots of food and lots of stuff and lots of driving later, I have those strange intersections of family, friends and fandom to share.
I met a Browncoat. This was on the trip to Austin to pick up my friend from the Concert Of Her Life. Anyway, Browncoat, friend of my friend, said she'd been to all the conventions, met all the primary stars except Gina Torres, and had a Jayne hat! And we talked lots of fandom.
Granny reads People magazine. TKMommy and I think magazines are lame, especially magazines like People. But Granny brings it, and we come. Succumb, that is. It is there, and we read it. Can't seem to help it when it's there in front of us. And in the Whatevermost Sexiest men, it had Jamie Bamber! TKMommy: "Archie! Archie Kennedy! People magazine, you lose at life for not including David Boreanaz. It invalidates your whole scheme."
That's when there was this whole discussion about DB being Teh Sex. And yes, actually said "teh," because my brothers are the biggest internet dorks ever. We talked about the cat in ur ceiling, watchin u masturbate, and TkBrother2 kept saying, "lol" pronounced "lawl" when no one was being funny.
Speaking of not hating and masturbating, I told the story about how you could get a vibrator from a vending machine in a pub in Scotland for only a few pounds, right in from of TKFred (my grandfather). Oops. I wanted to tell the story about DB and Lee's vibrator, but I wasn't sure my brothers would really appreciate it. Rock on, Lee, rock on.
So s-i-l#1 does not know who DB is, and that's when I said he makes me spontaneously ovulate, right in front of Granny. Oops. But then s-i-l#1 was very curious about this hottie, and saw the AtS dvds in the tv room, and said, "What, him? He's the one you said was so hot? He looks like a football player." This with disgust! I am Jack's stunned libido. Apparently, S-i-l1 is channeling my_daroga's libido. Or something! Dudes, he is sexay. How is that not visible? I do not go on like this over any other anyone.
Meanwhile, TkBrother#1 was like Archie Kennedy Who? So there was watching of Jamie Bamber in tights with an English accent, fanboying his sailor hunk Horatio Hornblower, affectionately dubbed Horey Hornyblower. Mr. Bamber doesn't do anything for me, especially as Kennedy, but there were mucho tears when everyone arranged themselves in front of the tv to see BSG and there was nothing. Even though we think the Fightclub one looks scary.
TkBrother#2 and s-i-l#2 got hooked on saving the world. of Warcraft. Which is the weirdest thing ever since they're very down on video games. And now I want to play with them. I think I'm out and the PULL ME BACK IN. /Pacino
Instead of saving the world of Warcraft. you should seize the day, 'cause tomorrow, you might be dead. Which TkBrother#2 called "carpe diem", and I scrunched my nose and said, "fish of the day?" And he laughed and laughed, but when I told him it was from Buffy, he sobered up right quick because he thinks Buffy is stupid. I am Jack's sad single violin.
This is why TKBrother#1 got the Buffy/Angel coffee mugs Sue gave me Every Time I Made Him Coffee. Since I'm the only one who can work the coffee machine, this happened a lot. There's a mug that says Mom and a mug that says Dad, and of course 50,000 Christmas mugs that say Joy, and a mug for TKbrother2 and s-i-l1 and other individual mugs for individual people, but no individual one for TkBrother#1, so he gets B/A. He'd like it if he tried it, Jesus, and I make good coffee.
I wanted to make them listen to my Connor mix too, which I said I got from my friend. TKBrother2 wanted to know if that was the friend he met, and I had to explain Stoney vs. Sue to him. Though sometimes in my head there is this StoneySue hybrid, where Sue has zits of Stoney sticking out all over her. Then we watched Batman and TKBrother2 and I talked about bats in Austin, and they do look like starfruit! Then I wanted Batman/Gordon slash, but only in my head.
LJ Fandom Land, is there Batman/Gordon slash? Please, and very dark?
Since there was so much talk of DB Granny knows his name now and wants to see him. I want to show her some BtVS eps but I don't know which! So then she found a comment about DB in the paper and it said he couldn't act. I am Jack's not so stunned libido. TKMommy says, "That man doesn't need to know how to act." The paper also said BSG is badass. Well, duh, paper.
And TKGranny thinks I'm some kind of tv buff now, because she cut out a page of People about being bald and beautiful, because TKBrother#1 is baldy mcbald. And I knew who Micheal Rosenwhatsit's name was, so now I know everything. Did not have the heart to tell her it was 'cause I think he'd be pretty screwing Clark Kent in textual internet porn. And then TKBrother#2 said, "Prawn?"
Speaking of prawns, on the way back from Austin I listened to an HP podcast, because my friend is a big fan. This one guy on there said, "You got pawned!" And everyone made fun of him and told him it was pronounced "powned." TKMommy wants to know why the internets is "internets." The podcast said HP 7 won't be coming out until 2008, which made me sad. TKBrothers had a long argument on the reliability of Urban Dictionary. God, we're all complete nerds.
Most the crazy wackiness is over, I think, except TKmommy is turning 50, and I have to plan/organize/cook for the party, and TKGrandparents are still here and apparently I'm their hired entertainer. Actually I am their computer laison which I hate because Granny keeps accusing me of losing her documents, but it's not me, it's her memory she's losing. This caused me in turn to lose my temper, mostly 'cause I'd had 9 hours of sleep in the last 60 hours. LJland, I do not lose my temper. But I lost it in Austin somewhere before picking up my friend and haven't found it since. This has made me TKAshamed for a while now, even though I apologized to both Granny and friend. *sniff* And I was sick! I had a fever on Thanksfiving.
I'm all raw nerves about my IWRY fic. I sent it in, so it is done, and I should stop stressing, but I'm still scratchy marbles about it. I freaking, love my story, the idea of it in my head, but even when I thought it up, I doubted I could pull it off. It's one of those, those juggling geese fics I do, where I'm trying something with the style and the narration and something I haven't quite seen before done with POV, something that to me is extremely experimental. But I didn't schedule carefully and didn't have time to pull it off, even if with more time I could have. It should've been shorter, for one thing, but it takes too long for me to write short. It's wordy and repetetive. It should've been more straightforward in its concept, and less bang you over the head in its theme. I like, mourn for that story. It coulda been a contendah./Brando
I'm sure the solution is pie. We have pecan, pumpkin, and apple, and I didn't have to make a single damn one of them!
