mostly hiatus.

[mumbled_truth]

Dear Poly,

Hello. How are you? I am fine.

YEAH WHAT UP so here's the deal, on Friday I'm going on a ~road trip~ up to Canada. Annnnnnnnnd I am trying to get back to backtags and stuff I had before then, but of course I am working until then and trying to get my stuff in order during the few evening hours I have home from work.

So, if I owe you tags (I know Todd and Wilson owe a few), I will try to get to them. I will also be trying to get in some tags through the wonders of hotel wifi (especially for the shipping curse), but they prooobably won't be regular and I will be doing a ton more backdating when I get back.

In conclusion, mostly on hiatus from right freaking now until probably Tuesday evening... ish. Affecting~

ALSO on a completely irrelevant and tangential note, speaking of Canada and running away and devious plans and all, did you intentionally start this post trying to sound like Rudy Miller from I Want To Go Home, or was it just a miraculous fluke?

[mumbled_truth]

That was completely a miraculous fluke.

It was really just going for the standard deadpan, unenthused, simplistic letter format. XD;;

FOLLOW-UP QUESTION: Did you ACTUALLY CATCH THAT REFERENCE or are you just humoring me?



Stop me if I have asked you this before 'cause I kinda forget. >>

[mumbled_truth]

I'm familiar with the book, though... admittedly said familiarity is vague and hazy.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Excuse me while I bounce around in a fit of violent fangirly squeeing because I am desperately in love with that book and maybe once considered apping Rudy shut up and no one has EVER HEARD OF IT.

OH HAPPY DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

[mumbled_truth]

I HAVE AT LEAST HEARD OF IT so there is that

<3

WELL YOU HAVE JUST MADE MY NIGHT SO THERE.

I now hereby forgive you for leaving me. But I will still miss you forever while you are gone.

[tenthsickday.livejournal.com]

HOORAY FORGIVENESS!!

I will be around-ish from the hotel! Just not... a ton. ^^;

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Oh well that is A-OK then. So long as you have a totally epic time for all the other parts of the time when you are not around-ish. =D

[tenthsickday.livejournal.com]

I dutifully accept this mission!

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I HAVE THE UTMOST CONFIDENCE IN YOU, FERRIS BUELLER

[neverendingbeat.livejournal.com]

GORDON KORMAN PLEASE TELL ME YOU MEAN GORDON KORMAN.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

HECK YEAH I MEAN GORDON KORMAN

SHUT UP DO NOT ENCOURAGE ME TO APP RUDY MILLER I DO NOT NEED A NEW CHARACTER SHUT UP

[neverendingbeat.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD GORDON KORMAN WAS MY CHILDHOOD. HE SHAPED THE CANADIAN LANDSCAPE FOR ME.

Me and my friend have been freaking out for TWO WEEKS NOW and shrieking "Bruno and Boots!" and "Bugs Potteeeeer!" at each other. I AM IN THE MIDST OF MY OBSESSION, HOLY CRAP, SYNCHRONICITY.

...I need to reread the first Bugs Potter book now that I actually KNOW STUFF ABOUT MY OWN CITY.

Edited because I can't let "Candian" pass...

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Earlier this year I decided I needed to reclaim my childhood and thus shelled out the cash to acquire "I Want To Go Home", "Go Jump In The Pool", "No Coins Please", and "Who Is Bugs Potter?". I DO NOT REGRET A SINGLE BIT OF IT. NOT EVER.

THESE WERE THE CLASSICS OF MY CHILDHOOD. THE CLASSICS.

ohgod I want this now. Bugs in Poly drumming on everything and insisting that every bit of music he hears is his favourite group. Bruno and Boots being roomies and living across the hall from Neil and Todd and swapping dorm stories. RUDY MILLER WINNING AT EVER SPORT THAT EVER EXISTED WITH A PERPETUALLY BORED LOOK ON HIS FACE ohgod stop making me want this so much aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[neverendingbeat.livejournal.com]

nsdhgzslxkdjfhlsakdas OKAY THAT IS IT. I AM REREADING EVERY BOOK I CAN MANAGE AND THEN APPING AS ONE OF THEM. ...probably Bruno or Boots because they have a special place in my heart.

fffffffff we need to make more people read these BOOKS.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

CURSE YOU AND CURSE MY COMPLETE LACK OF SELF CONTROL AS WELL

No, but really. Rudy. Deadpanning it up during every single curse. Getting that wicked gleam in his eye at someone else's misery. Calling people twits.

...NO NO NO I HAVE WILLPOWER OSGHSOIGHSOHGOSIHF

[neverendingbeat.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeeeeee NO. NO WILLPOWER.

...AT THE VERY LEAST, WHEN I DEMONSTRATE MY TOTAL LACK OF WILLPOWER, THERE WILL BE SOMEONE WHO GETS MY CHARACTER.

...
...come ooooooooon. :D

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

HE WOULD BE INSUFFERABLE. THERE WOULD BE NO MIKE.

LIFE WITHOUT MIKE IS AN ENDLESS BLACK HOLE OF ENDLESSNESS.

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooob.




/spams this post forever sorry

[neverendingbeat.livejournal.com]

That might be what stops us in the end. No 'it's-not-even-really-subtext' best friend. I think I only read Rudy's book twice...

/is also sorry

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I am so glad I am not the only one who saw the not-even-really-subtext. Also, I'll just leave this right here (http://calathea.mediawood.net/stories/AVLS.html). Cough, cough.

[neverendingbeat.livejournal.com]

...trust me. You're not. BRUNO JUST LIKES TO WATCH THE SWIM TEAM WORK OUT. BTW.

Yes.

Um.

DAMMIT NOT MORE FANFIC. *reads*

My friend found fic that was Bruno and Boots and Adam and Bugs in the future and they HAD A ROCK BAND IT WAS SO PERFECT.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

...WAS IT "A BAND CALLED FISH"?

because I may have read that too.

It may or may not be by the same author as the one I linked you to.

Wheeeeeeeeee small world.

[neverendingbeat.livejournal.com]

IS IT OH MY GOD.


!!!!!!!!!!



Wait, that means there's only one person writing all this awesome fic.
...I want more people to read these BOOKS.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

I can think of at least two or three? Have you been to scrimmettes or exaltedkarpoozi? They're mostly dead, but the archives are pretty okay for trolling for fic.

RAE I AM SO SORRY FOR THIS SPAMMING PLZ FORGIVE US
