road to nowhere

α One more sleep and a series of plane rides and I will be home.

β I have a theory that all the coffee in Saskatchewan has zero caffeine. No matter how much I drink, I don't wake up or even feel jittery.

γ Many thanks are due to kestrelsan for responding to my plea to chat and cheer me up, thus saving me from capping myself in some unpleasant way.

δ And also for the kick-ass SPN mix CD, which has saved my soul alive. I hope you don't mind that my immediate reaction was, "I'm going to write so much MomoKai to this music!"

ε pixxers, I'm so sorry I haven't got to your site stuff like I said I would. My brain has seriously been pudding and I feel like I'm in a different dimension when I'm out here. (Possibly a dimension without caffeine.)

ζ I did manage to start my santa_smex story, though. Just the first scene, but that always feels like breaking a seal or pulling a cork. If I write some every day, I should have no problem getting it finished. I've really been looking forward to wirting this one. Or having it written, anyhow.

η I have my icon all ready for GP Fortnight. I'm willing to be convinced.

θ To stay sane and pass the time this weekend, I watched the Prince of Tennis movie with the subs. A few things come to mind:
* Kaidoh is really hot.
* I don't know which I liked better: the RyoKai, MomoKai, or InuKai.
* The movie follows the usual shounen sports arc much more closely than the manga or anime. The strong focus is on Ryoma's growth into a team player and there's nothing about his extraordinary potential. Tezuka wants to go to Nationals, Ryoma is the key to that, Tezuka trains up Ryoma for that purpose. And Ryoma makes out with Kaidoh learns the meaning of sportsmanship. It's so familiar and yet so odd at the same time.
* Is there any Higaki/Tezuka porn?

ι If I could have one wish, it would be for a new standard pairings prom story in the PoT section of ff.n. Or a standard pairings reunion story. There's been a real lack of standard pairings fic lately and I really need some.

κ Thank you, flist and fandom. You make me feel better just by being there. ♥ ♥ ♥

That "GP-curious" icon kills me. It makes me so happy that you're willing to give them a chance. ♥ I just hope sarahofcroydon can convince you!

Also, very much looking forward to that MomoKai you mentioned writing. :D Your MomoKai is still by far my favorite. ♥

(Er, and hello. :) I've actually commented here before, with my other journal. It's been quite awhile though... Anyway. *friends you* :D)

I've been waiting to see if GP Fortnight would sway me. I think I most need to be shown how their relationship is interesting; I find them pretty bland together. But I'm open to see more. :) I've only written them twice, really.

I feel a little guilty that so many of my WIPs are MomoKai when InuKai is really my favourite pairing. But MK is more fun to write. ♥

And I remember you from before! I'm glad you're still around. :) This fandom gets hold of you and you can never get away.

To be honest, I can't imagine not finding the Golden Pair interesting. But, that's fangirlism for you. ♥ I mean, there are tons of pairings other people love that I just don't get. :D

Hee, I'm not actually a fan of InuKai. I read yours, but that's it. MomoKai is just much more...er, exciting? to me. I love Inui, but I just see the Inui/Kaidoh dynamic a bit differently, I guess. Plus, Momo and Kaidoh are just so much fun together. ♥

Yay, I was remembered! And, heheh, as they say, truer words were never spoken -- but I love this fandom too much to actually try to get away. :)

*giggles some more at that icon* Ah, I need to watch the movie again. Zukki and Adachi finally figured the GP out, there was MomoKai everywhere, and Shirota makes me want to actually like Tezuka. ♥
