“Yes or no?” Julian asked, shaking the Magic 8-Ball. It responded with Signs are hazy, ask again later.

“Dammit, that is not an answer.” He shook the Magic 8-Ball again, only to get the same result. With a snort, Julian put the orb down just as Sofia slid into his office. Her bald head was wrapped in a brightly colored scarf, and she looked almost transparent in the sunlight streaming through the window. She smiled, and Julian found himself smiling back. “Hey, Beautiful.”

Sofia tilted her head slightly, tossing the end of the scarf over her shoulder. “You have been planning something.”

“I plan lots of things,” Julian replied. “So?”

“You should perhaps hide your credit card receipts better,” Sofia suggested, picking up the Magic 8-Ball and giving it a shake. “I know you’ve been jewelry shopping.”

She put it down, letting Julian see the ‘Yes’ finally bobbing to the surface.

This is so cute! (Also, vaguly familiar. Are you cross-posting older entries?)

[dorksidefiker]

That is exactly what I'm doing. My dreamwidth account was always meant to be my backup archive, I've just been incredibly lazy about getting the older stuff up.

[fai_dust]

Ah. Does this mean you are feeling a little better?

[dorksidefiker]

It mostly just means I spent a night not being lazy, for once.

[fai_dust]

Okay. But are you doing okay? (If not, feel free to say so. I don't ask unless I are about the answer.)

[dorksidefiker]

I'm about as okay as I ever am. Of course, my default state is somewhere on the lighter side of gloomy...

[fai_dust]

Anything I can do to to cheer you up?

[dorksidefiker]

Bring me the head of John Tesh? Or Joe Quesada. I could stick it on a pike and hang it out my window as a warning to all others.

[fai_dust]

*snickers* Yeah, no, sorry.

[dorksidefiker]

Awwwwwww

[fai_dust]

Had a thought. What are the odds of getting in shit if I were to mail a burned DVD?

[dorksidefiker]

?

[fai_dust]

I have Eureka 3.0 on DVD and I would be willing to burn & mail it to you, but I'm wondering what the odds are for getting caught mailing copied DVDs.

[dorksidefiker]

Very low, but there's no need. I'm actually in the middle of downloading it (and I'll still be getting it from the library when I can for the DVD extras). Another two days or so, and it'll be in my proverbial hot little hands.

[fai_dust]

...never mind then. ^_^ Hey, I just notised you don't have tags on this journal. Why?

[dorksidefiker]

<--- Lazy. One of these days, I'll tag... probably about the time I make Dreamwidth my default.

[fai_dust]

If I end up having to drop out this semester, I may end up asking offering to help with that. I went rangy in the summer being at home and I'm kind of in love with the concept of tags. (Want proof? I spent about three hours renaming tags from "(title) - (character)" to "(name): (character)", which is something I never remembed to bitch about on LJ until it didn't matter anymore. ^_^)

[dorksidefiker]

Well, hopefully you won't end up having to drop out, but if you do, I will gladly accept your help.

[fai_dust]

Yeah, well... If my crazy shit doesn't get fixed by, like, Sunday, I may have to because I've aleady missed over two weeks and if I'm going to, I have to do so before it goes on my transcript as a fail.

Anyways, if so, I wouldn't mind. Hell, I just spent, like, four hours or so mostly working on making a friend four Carter (Stargate) icons because she mentioned that she never got around to finding a "made of awesome" icon and making just one is for pussies (and people who can sleep). I like doing data entry when I get like this and this way, I can justify it as helping out a friend. ^_^

...which is a freaking long reply to a 20 word comment. *rasberry* Forgive me, sleep madness has begun to set in.
