Le Sigh

[cornerofmadness]

If you take BtVS's Pre-Out-of-the-Closet Larry and made him trailer park you'd get Keith G. Why am I mentioning this boy who tormented me all thru H.S.? You have to hear about my morning.

First my mom comes into my room THREE times while getting ready for work (Mom just get our stuff out of the closet the night before!) and finally she leaves for work. Next thing I know she's back in my room. Mom didn't you leave? "I'm an idiot" says she (no argument at this point Mom) "I have on the wrong pants and I'm going out with the girls tonight so I had to come back from work to get the right pants." Mom's blond in case anyone's wondering.

So Blondie leaves and I drift back off then the door bell rings. Figuring it's my brother I drag out of bed and go, hair and teeth not brushed and it's two men in a truck with guns. THe man's eyes light up at the hideous sight of me in a nightgown and he thrusts out his hand. "Dana! It's Keith G. Man is it great to see you." (really? Since when?) "Damn you were always such a brain, how are you doing now? Got kids?" I explain no and that I left my medical practice to go teach. He raves on about my intelligent for a little while longer then tells me he wants to go hunting on our property, that my parents let him. Sure, go ahead. HUnt away. He shakes my hand like three more times then goes back to truck telling tales of my intellectual prowness to the other guy in the truck.

Talk about surreal...

*dies* They've just never seen a real live smart person before! Jeopardy contestants don't count.

Obviously. THe weirdest part I was kinda friends with his sister until she went too trailer park and starting doing trouble-inviting things

Ooh.

Gawsh, you're brainy. Why didn't anybody tell me?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

And as always this brainy-ness made me a target in H.S. SIgh.

See Jethro, this here's Dana. She reads books and stuff!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that about sums it up

I always hate it when I run into people who gave me trouble in HS. We always act very polite and grown-up to each other, but I can't help thinking, "You were such a dick to me! Don't even pretend like you weren't!"

And of course, we end w/ the obligatory "Well, it was good seeing you!", and I'm thinking, No it wasn't! I don't care if I die w/out ever having seen your face again!

Do I sound bitter?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

No more than me. That's my usual feeling on the subject too, trust me.

Reminds me of this scene..

HARMONY: Willow, will you sign my yearbook?

WILLOW: Yeah. You have to sign mine too.

HARMONY: You know, I really wish we woulda got to know each other better.

WILLOW: Me too.

HARMONY: I mean, you're so smart. I always wanted to be like that.

WILLOW: Thanks. You're so sweet.

HARMONY: I hope we won't lose touch.

WILLOW: No, we'll hang out.

HARMONY: Bye!

WILLOW: Bye!

Harmony leaves as Buffy walks down the stairs.

WILLOW: Oh, I'm gonna miss her.

BUFFY: Don't you hate her?

WILLOW: (still smiling) Yes, with a fiery vengeance. She picked on me for ten years, the vacuous tramp.

That was one of my all time favorite scenes since it was SO me!

Or a nightmare...

So all those years he was mean to you, he was secretly jealous and crushing on you! It's like a dream (or, possibly nightmare).

FB:

I don't remember if I previously commented on "Mourning Grey", but I like it. For such a short piece, you really get into Angel's brain.

"More Fun Than a Rubber Duck" is cute but doesn't do that much for me. I'm usually not big on pwp and this is pre-pwp for all intents and purposes. I just don't buy th set-up. Or situation. Or something.

I realized I never sent you the actual link to my story, so here it is: Guilt Trembling Spoke My Doom (http://www.livejournal.com/users/a2zmom/30830.html#cutid1). Once again thanks for the beta.

And if you still need a beta (and are willing to give me another go-around), I'll be happy to check out one or two pieces.

You brain, you.

I think I'd have included the caveat - "If you shoot your eye out, don't come running to me."

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

There's that. I was still half asleep
