Blah.
My oranges have turned into shrivelled prunes. I'm averaging five hours of sleep a night, which is actually a lot better for me than it sounds. Sarah Palin and the Republican party continue to give me nightmares. And somebody pretty much just pissed on my head and called it rain.
On the upswing, I did post OSS (Olympic Swimmer Slash) yesterday (Random Acts of Crazy Behavior), which, let's face it, is the only thing I'm motivated about these days. I'd like to write something else, but I have no other fandom at the moment besides that and Generation Kill, which is *sob!* over. And there is nothing on network telly for me to get excited about. Damn. It's going to be a dry broadcast season for me. Maybe I'll start robbing banks or something.
Give me some good news. Anything. Something. Please?

I saw that. I rather love the people who stalk your LJ. They KNOW things.
How am I supposed to move on when they keep doing shit like this? I mean really. And I never did get to write that tattoo porn.
Well, obviously you're not MEANT to move on, DUH. Also, the world needs tattoo porn.
Brad didn't get any? Really? Wow. I didn't realize that.
Dude. He tracked Nate to under a truck and VOWED to get some...and he hasn't yet. I've been deprived of that. The WORLD has. It's not right.
The angry black chick pining over the stupid worthless Jason just turned me WAY off
Yeah, worst storyline ever. I try to ignore them. It doesn't really work, but. I am easy, so. And chocolate-smeared Alex would SO have me there.
The sex on the show is so far from hot it's actually turning me frigid. Yeah, no, that's so not for me.
Heh. I was talking about this the other day. Even the sex in the book is just - no. It's cold porn. How does this HAPPEN?! SO WRONG.
I am sad that it is not for you. ::sad face:: Otoh, better to keep your blood pressure down and live longer.
Michael is USA's character of the month. STOP IT!
AHAHAHAHA!

NO LIE! I'm just going along and then people are like HAI! I HAZ CRACK 4 U! And I'm all, oh, noes, I went to rehab... what kind of crack?

It's very hard for me to put down on paper (proverbially) the things that Brad wants to do to Nate and vice versa. Like, even my brain was like, DAMN, that's X-Rated. And when even your brain is like ... that's, um.
It is Brad though. Brad is the guy who orders you to come and you say okay. Fully clothed. In a room full of people. Like, at dinner. *pauses* Do you think Brad did that to Nate? He totally did. Once, he left this series of voicemails for Nate and then he called to check that Nate had listened, and Nate was totally locked in the bathroom. And then there were the text messages. Brad's a tech guy, he has no problem sending porn via text message when Nate's in class and Nate checks the first few, and then he's realizes what Brad's doing, so he tries to ignore his phone, but it just keeps vibrating and making things worse, and when he goes to turn it off there's a message from Brad that's all "Don't turn the phone off." And Nate's like, OMG! And then Brad's like, leave class, and when Nate goes outside, guess who's there?
You see?
Yeah, worst storyline ever. I try to ignore them. It doesn't really work, but. I am easy, so. And chocolate-smeared Alex would SO have me there.
Just watching it started making me angry, so I had to kill it. And the really not sexy sex just... ew. Yeah, ew. I am sure I will On Demand the episode with Alex, because okay, Alex, but... otherwise? Not even, dude. I mean I knew before it started it wasn't up my alley in anyway, but I am starved for choice, so I said fuck it, try it. I tried it. It sucks.

No, I went to rehab BUT I STILL CANNOT RESIST.

Yes, but I want to see MORE. ::dies a little:: Jeebus, dude. The world should see this. This is post-series? Whatever, it fucking rocks.

Hi, RECURRING CHARACTER! Who is, like, DEFINED as the embodiment of sex. No, seriously, I was watching the making of and every time the people talked about how vamps are sexy, sexy beasts they went to a shot of Alex. 'Twas excelente.
Um, just saying. Not that you need to watch. I'm sure your enablers will edit all his scenes into a short reel that will get you through, um, I dunno: pornless wastelands? Not me (just wanna be clear here), because I am not Colbert-like in my technical competence, but those other brave souls who venture here. I may write porn, though.
no subject
Sweetheart, that's not about vamps, that's about ALEX. It's the Colbert effect. Did you read that x-over

I did read the crossover and I need to comment more fully, but yeah, GUH. Very much YES.

So, they're courting. Flirting. Nate bring Brad gun lube, what does Brad bring Nate?
To which I said:
What would Brad bring Nate? *totally ignores mental image of dead animal in mouth and Brad smeared with blood crawling on all fours*
I TOLD YOU THEY MAKE ME WEIRD!!!
That is a most awesome question... What does Nate need? nothing. What does Nate want? Naked Brad. A better commander. *cocks head to the side* He brings Nate compliments. From, like, Patterson, who I would totally fucking follow into battle. And something from him. Something tiny that he had to think about. That turret Brad ordered on the interwebs never arrived, maybe he has something else. Something about warrior spirit. I suppose The Art of War would be a little spooky as a gift.
Toilet paper?

But of course!

I LOVE the formulation of this as courting. It's so...genteel.

I liked the part in a story I read (not that I can remember which one) where Brad brought Nate a page of Wright's notebook, where Wright had written the quote about Nate being so very competent. That was a great way to make material what isn't physical: the esteem of his men.
Funny, 'cause this follows what I was thinking about this morning as I got ready (I have Thoughts about people's...preoccupation with the idea that Brad is inherently focused on taking a dump, like, all the time...but I digress). Most of Nate's wants are immaterial: to take good care of his men, to be a good leader, to act with integrity, etc. The one thing he does mention several times, in his book and Wright's, is being clean.
There's a part in his book where he talks about the first "shower" he takes since the start of the invasion (basically just a hose somewhere in Iraq...and he has to put on his dirty uniform afterwards, which he mentions, btw). At one point Wright notes how he spits in his hands to "wash" them before breakfast. Nate talks about having to shave 3 times after getting back on the boat from Afghanistan. He couldn't bear to sleep in his sleeping bag (or whatever the Marine equivalent of that is) because he smelled so bad. And on and on.
The boy likes being clean. So...baby wipes?
