Anything I can do to help?

Well, right now I just got past where I was blocked before. Keogh took her to her quarters, and now she's in sickbay. The chief medical officer feels put-upon, having to babysit some admiral's daughter for the captain. Soon after that, it'll skip to her finally being about to leave when the bejoran rebels show up.

I can't wait to read the whole thing :)

I love torrents. I finally managed to download all... 7? seasons of DS9 after one month of leaving my computer on nonstop. xD So after you mentioned 'Our Man Bashir,' I had to look it up and watch it. xD

What did you think of it?
And I still can't wait to read this pilot episode ;)

I'm LOVING it so far.

I know, dear. ;) I know.

I'll bet you'll guess my favorite scene the second you see it XD
Oh, was my hint transparent? XD

Oooooh, I just got to your scene. ;) ;)

What hint? ;o

I admit that my heart did a sort of flip-flop in my chest. lol.
I still can't believe she was in another favorite show of mine.

Oh, I don't hint.
I DEMAND!
XD

Lol mine did too, and I'm straight. xD Although, I think it was because Bashir was saying it. ;)

xD Don't you demand it from me.

EEEEK I love this episodeeee!

I think it was at that point I decided to be a secret agent XD

Whoa, where's YOUR head?! XD

It's a good one^^

xD Oh? How's that working out for you?

Wait, what?

It IS! I can't believe he shot Garak.

...It's a matter of national security, and I'm not at liberty to say...

Did I misconstrue the 'XD Don't demand it from me!' comment? (Also: XD)

Lol Garak was priceless in that episode.

Oh, I see... I suppose I could persuade you... ;)

I think you did. xD I was referring to the story, 100%. But hey, if that's what you're into...

*sigh* Julian was so dreamy in that whole thing. That suit... mm. Although I do admit, nerdy Dax was hot.

(Gulp) See, this is why I'm a bad agent! XD

lol, okay, my mistake. Seriously, re-read your comment and see how you take it! (Don't mind me- I'm in a goofy mood tonight)

Bashir was good in that role. Really a brilliant actor. Kira made me lol. She's always stuck in these sexy roles when she acts violent most of the time.
Nerd Dax- yes, hot. Very. XD

*straightens your tie for you, letting her fingers wander over the collar of your suitjacket* So, how's the whole secret agent thing going for you, again?

xD After watching that episode, I am too. And yes, now that I read it... that can be misconstrued. xDD

Kira was downright sinful in that nightgown. Those big, dark eyes... It's like you could just fall into them and not be found for months.

lmao. Just lmao. If I say take off your glasses and toss your hair...XD

Okay, let's see if you catch this one:
A female aquaintance of mine asked me 'do you believe men and women can be friends without having sex'. I raised my eyebrow a bit- it was an odd question to ask. That in mind, I shrugged and said 'Sure. You haven't slept with me yet.' She laughs and says 'Oh, well, you know, I don't consider you a threat. You're a good guy.'
She still can't figure out why I walked away shaking my head. lol. I don't know why I thought of that just now (it happened some time ago), but it made me lol.

Okay, so I am officially absolved of any wrongdoing there. Good.
XD

I was impressed that she pulled off that accent as well as she did. She's a good actress (whom I admit, I hated at first).

Nice bit on the pilot, btw :)

*takes off her glasses slowly, unpins her hair, then comes over and snogs you while you steal the key from her*

xD Poor you. Good guys are always left in the friend zone.

Well, I'm sure I can find SOMETHING to blame you for!

The accent was incredibly believable. My brother also does a fantastic Russian accent.

Thanks. I should have it done in an hour or so...? xD

What's an idea for a name for the lounge area? It obviously can't be 10-Forward, because that's on the Enterprise.

*Key is mine* Well, thank you my dear. (hero smile)

I couldn't believe that. Haven't seen that girl in years. Maybe I was more offended than I thought XD (No, different seperate ways after high school, really, but that's less dramatic)

Oh sure, please do!

She played the roll well on all counts, for sure ^^

Awesome!

*knees go weak*

xD You poor thing.

Umm... Dern you for... for... um... Dern you for making me write this thing so damn slowly!

She played the role* well, definitely. ;)

*Undoes his cuffs* Time to go, before this place fills with lava! (Carries her all bride-like)

It's hilarious in retrospect. I should have shown her and totally hit on her! lmao.

Oh yeah, THAT is my fault! That's about the one thing you CAN'T blame me for! XD

You know, I never had a problem with spelling until recently. Now, forget it. I think it has something to do with learning a second language. I'm writing a very interesting mix of Japanese and English these days. It's probably reflected in my grammer and spelling, too.

I've got step out for about an hour. I'll be back in time to read that pilot! I'm too excited about it ^^

xD Nice.

It is. You should have asked her if she'd ever seen 'When Harry Met Sally.' Harry answers that question.

Lol... Grammar.*

Ah, 'kay! And.. maybe I'll just call it the 'lounge area.'

Lounge area: Chateau Blance' or something like that, maybe?

Hey, sorry -I- missed you last night. I'd had a terrible day yesterday, and made a hasty retreat to my grandmother's house to avoid a mental breakdown. I'll definitely get that up when I get home! I can try to add somethig to it. Can you just draw a rough sketch so I have an idea of what you wanted?

It's all good :)

I can try. Hopefully it'll be less bad as just a concept, lol.

What a long weekend. -_-

And even if it isn't, it gives me something to go off of. ;)

I'm inclined to agree with you on my end. Things any better for you?

Well, I'll give it a shot, then :)

Marginally. The emotions aren't as intense. And I'm definitely not on the brink of a breakdown anymore. Just... bummed. Very much so.

Well, I'm glad there at least some improvement. Wish things were better, though :(

If you get the chance, watch the DS9 Episode 'Our Man Bashir'- it'll make you feel better. This one scene with Dax made me feel better, but the episode is 99% Bashir.

Well, my friend (i've mentioned him before) has been going through some extreme depression because of stuff dealing with his ex girlfriend. Like the good friend I am, I'm there for him. But, when he gets depressed like this (over a girl, specifically) he deals with it through sex. So all day on Friday, he was soliciting me (pretty much) for sex. I was humoring him for the most part. Saving you graphic details, I basically said that if he came down this (now past) weekend or next week, I'd do it with him. (Which is no small thing. I don't take that sort of stuff lightly) Right as school was getting out, he asked me if I was home yet. I was like, "one track mind, much?" His response was, "no that was a general question. Let's just say someone else took care of me."

So, at this point, I'm pretty upset. And then when he said "sorry if you're feeling slighted, she offered." That was kind of the snapping point. How could I NOT feel slighted? I don't offer that to every single one of my guy friends going through a rough patch. I thought he knew me better than that. I would never offer something like that to someone I didn't care a great deal for. And he's confused as to why I'm mad.

I can't honestly think of a word to describe that sort of behavior. That's the absolute height of...well, any number of words that I really don't need to type. I don't know how you put up with it. Friend or no, I would definitely call him on that sort of behavior. That's not like lending someone a cup of sugar or something. (shakes head) That's crap, pure and simple.

I put up with it because I'm in love with the guy. xD Have you ever had such a close bond with someone that when they were feeling pain, emotional or physical, you felt it too? I thought that was just stuff in romance novels or something. But no. When I realized how deep he was hurting, it made me physically ill. My heart ached for him so badly. And me, I'm stupid. I'm the sort of person who would do anything to comfort that person of import.

But yeah. I haven't spoken to him since Friday afternoon. I'm going to see how long it takes for him to message me back with an apology of some sort.

That's not being stupid. That's being loyal- a concept clearly foreign to this gentleman. He is unaware that he has a quality girl right there, waiting for him. That makes him the stupid one. Your loyalty will be an asset someday, even if it seems like a curse at the moment.

Good luck. It will probably be a while. I just hope that he'll actually mean the apology. An apology spoken without conviction is no apology at all.

Well, I don't think it would matter if he knew. He's almost 10 years older than me. He's kind of ehhhhhhhh about that when it comes to dating. Friends-with-benefits, now that's okay. But a real relationship... Nah. -_-

I might end up having to explain to him why I'm upset. He's pretty dense sometimes. I'm not even sure how to start that conversation. "Hey, you were a douchebag on Friday."

Well, what do you want out of it? Are you fine with that situation, or are you looking for something else? It's not selfish to think that way. If your needs don't match, then that frees you up to find what you really are looking for. Be honest with yourself first, and then with him second. It's yourself to whom you owe loyalty.

lmao, that's how I would bring it up! I'm sorry, I shouldn't laugh, but that last line got me.
I would just be blunt. "You know, I offer you a favor like that and you pull this s***?"

Well... If he were offering a relationship, I would go for it in a heartbeat. He's (almost) everything I wanted in a guy. Well, except for sensitivity and non-selfishness, even when he's down. But he doesn't want a relationship like that, so I'll settle for what I can get. He's my closest friend. I couldn't bear not having him in my life in one form or another.

xD I meant for it to be funny.
Yeah, that's probably what I'll have to end up doing. If he doesn't message me by Tuesday night... -_- Then he's dumb, and he's in for an earful.

Also, I'm working on my pilot. ;)

I understand. I only really dated once, and it was serious. So serious that it impaired my ability to look at other guys. xD

Yeah, I totally get that.

Sent! ^^

I think a friend of mine was trying to set me up. Sweet girl, but more interested in my friend. So I quietly directed them back together. So far, so good!

I'm glad someone else gets that POV.

I have not received, however. Would you try resending?

Stupid thing. It wanted me to type in a captcha before it would send. My apologies. NOW, sent. ^^

I see no problem so far, except for tiny details. Like you need one more S when saying the USS Odyssey. And I think Ten-Forward is unique to Enterprise D. Not 100% sure on that.

Are you stuck as to where to go next?

Yes. I know how I want it to end, and I have a beginning and the beginning of the middle, but I'm just stuck. -_-

Hmm, okay. How about this:

-Amy is in her quarters, leaves for her duty shift early, meets the doctor, and they don't get along. Sort of a 'you're here becauyse the captain wants you here, so stay out of the way' dynamic.
-The 'big incident', whatever you decided it will be, comes along after the doctor is mean to Amy. She jumps in and helps.
-Big medical accident on the bridge. Amy rushes up, does her thing to save someone (maybe Executive Officer?).
-Welcome to DS9!

Oh, man. My poor friend. He's dealing with a very tough situation for him right now, and I was talking to him on the phone just a sec ago. Hearing him of all people on the verge of tears... xD I'll be honest with you, I'm in the middle of a mild anxiety attack. I wish there was something I could do.

Well, to calm yourself, breathe in through your nose for a count of three, then out through your mouth for a count of four. That should help you, personally.
As for your friend...I guess, depending on the situation, the most you can really do is be there for him.

Thank you, that did help. And yeah. I'm not sure I can listen to him more tonight, but he needs me, so I'll do what I can. I haven't had an anxiety attack in at least two months. -_- not fun.

AAAAAAH! That's awesome! xD I'm giggling now. Well done, you've effectively cheered me up. Of course, Holmes WOULD be a nerd like that. xDDDD I love it.

I thought you might get a kick out of it ^^ It just seemed to suit Holmes nicely. That, and I loved 'Yesterday's Enterprise' :) Glad it helped a bit ^^

I appreciate it. On that note, I'm headed to sleep. He still hasn't called me back. He said "a few minutes" about 30 minutes ago. -_- Anyway, thank you and I hope to have more story done tomorrow.

Sleep well :)

Thanks.

Good evening to you!

I never got the email saying you commented! Argh. I'm sorry.

Yesterday was good. Today is also good. I had my last band concert this evening. It was really good, but kind of sad. I'm gonna miss those people, and those experiences. xD That sounds so sappy.

Anyway, I'm watching TV right now. What about you?

No biggie ^^

I can imagine. I'm glad everything went well for you :)

I'm hating Microsoft Access and myself for missing Body of Proof. Apparently, I missed a very nice scene with Jeri Ryan in it. --' I knew I should've watched!
Other than that, I'm doing alright, thank you ^^

Today's episode of Glee is hilarious. Also, there's a nwe movie coming out with Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz that I want to see. 'Bad Teacher.' JT makes my heart race. xD Anyway!
You should take Microsoft Access out behind the house and shoot it with a grenade launcher. :) That's what I always do.

I hate Justin Timberlake. I want Olivia Wilde! XD (No, I don't really hate him. I'm just seething with a jealous rage XD. He just saw her first, that's all!)
Ohh, that's a good idea...
Hmm. fresh outta grenades. Just my luck. XD Nah, it's a stupid program, but I'll be done with it in 9 days!

Say, for our co-op fic, would you object to a guest star or two? I just read George Takei's book, and I worked out a scenario for 'Admiral Sulu' to show up. Plus I was thinking of having the Enterprise crew on the station at one point (That might be a good one for Amy. She could see what she's missing, maybe).

Lol I seethe with a jealous rage at every girl who's ever shared anything with JT... the screen, a studio... a bed? xD Mm. U-um, anyway... (cough cough)

Yes, that would be fine! I was also considering maybe after she'd been on the station long enough to make roots there, her dad would transfer her to the Enterprise, expecting her to be overjoyed and thrilled. But obviously, she isn't, because her home is on DS9.

lol, same here. Olivia was available, too. Oh well. Too bad Jeri Ryan and Terry Farrell are married. Why don't you divert Jesse Spencer so I can snag Jennifer Cameron? (Yeah, like I'd manage to even get a coherent phrase out!)

That's definitely a good storyline. We could even tease the end of the fic at that point. Or, heck, that COULD be the ending.

Lol you and your women.

Haha, well, then! xD That won't be for a while then, hmm.

Me and my lack thereof XD

We could work it in anywhere, of course^^ I've got so many ideas rattling around. I've got all these little bits of episodes written out.

xD Well, I'm not much better with me and my men!

;_; Yes, that's right. Keep reminding me of my slowness. Uh-huh, rub it in. That's fine.

At least you pick some attainable men! I'm too busy being a little kid drooling over the hottest thing on TV XD

Hey, you have a life. I'm sitting at home writing Star Trek. Tell me which one of us is doing better! lmao!

xD I do my fair share of drooling. Like... Justin Timberlake. Aaaand, Alexander Siddig. *sighs dreamily* Ah, my Julian.

xD Not true! I'm just so busy with school and graduation that I have no life at all. No free time, really! At least it's an assignment now, so I have a REASON to work on it. rofl.

So we all have fantasies. I think the ironic thing for me is that I'm too immature for a relationship. But I'm mature enough to know I'm too immature? Pleh. Irony.

That's still a life! Now that work is done (thank God) for me, and school is almost done, there's really just looking for a new job. But I can't even do that until after the Star Trek convetion. Oh well, I'll live. I should probably enjoy my freetime now.

Lol I'm sure you're not that immature. You just know how to enjoy yourself. Lots of girls like that.

xD You can always look, and tell them you're free to work after this certain date. That's what I'm going to have to start doing here pretty soon.

No, I'm pretty immature. I can't just date for fun. There's got to be the possibility of a relationship, and I'm just mentally set for that, I guess. I may be overthinking it, though. There's always that.

True. Maybe I'm putting it off because I hate making resumes. They always wind up reading so phony :(

Immaturity has nothing to do with 'dating for fun' or not. Honestly, I think that's a great quality. There are lots of guys who just date because the possibility is there.

Why do they read phony?

So sorry about last night. I fell asleep! xD

I suppose you're right. There are so many different ways to categorize 'mature' or 'immature'. Bleh. I'll just go with my gut and date when it feels right.

I just hate tooting my own horn. Like "I have good skills at this and this and this, and heck, this, even though I've never done it before." It's like writing a thank you note for something you really aren't thankful for, I guess. It feels like deception.

S'okay :)

Not bad, thank you. Had a full day, so I'm pretty tired. I'm looking forward to meeting Ezri, although Jadzia will always be number one with me :)

I've been hearing rumors about a new ST tv series, this time set at Starfleet Academy.

I must admit, Jadzia was my favorite. Ezri is good in her own way, but she just can't replace Jadzia in my heart. XD I sound so mushy.

Ooh, I want to watch it!

I have yet to actually meet Ezri. It's already pre-set I'm going to hate her at first, unfortunately. Oh well. I hated Kira at first too. Now she's hilarious! Though they must have changed writers during season four, because the episodes are laid out differently.

I'd like to be on it! XD Although I hope they don't go that route. Then it'll be come a teen drama and not be Star Trek anymore. I'd love to see Enterprise B and C more, before their destructions. Especially the destruction of C, defending Narendra 3. That would be sweet movie scene!

Oh, it would! I can't wait to read my book. I have to finish school first though, or I'll never get anything done! I just bought two movies and rented two others. Bought: Inception and Tron: Legacy. Rented: Tangled and Knight-and-Day. All four of them are amazing! Have you seen any of them?

No, I can't say I have, actually. I meant to see Tron, but I wound up seeing Season of the Witch instead. Can't say I regret that movie.

That looked good. Tron is fantastic. Knight-and-Day is also awesome. XD they all are.

I want to see Priest. I think that's out now. And I'll definitely see Xmen First Class when it comes out.

Well, I'm going to go for tonight. Good talking with you :)

I've heard bad things about First Class. How are you tonight?

I seriously want to write a fic where everything goes right for Yuji. But that would be boring.

One of these days, I'll beg you to do a oneshot pairing of Yuji and either Sakura or Azami or Asuna, or maybe Tenten, or Ino. Or all of the above or something.

I'd be happy to do all of them! Maybe even all at once? ;) just kidding. But I'd love to. Lol.

I actually really liked the YujiXIno pairing. Although I'm still a Sakura or Azami man myself. Or Dax, for that matter. XD

Oh, quick question: Which 'Yuji' have you liked best so far?

-'Insane' Yuji from the co-op fic
-'Original' Yuji from 'Serving'
-'TNK' Yuji from 'Serving'
-'Goth' Yuji from Serving/Sakura's Game

Well, it's all yuji to me. Lol I mean, all of the different Yuji's are part of Yuji. I just take them and put them together as a collective Yuji.lol Idk if that makes sense. I guess I'm trying to say I like them all?

I see what you're saying. That makes sense.
Get ready for Yuji personality number five to show up. This one I hope will be more interesting than all the others combined.

Are you sure you don't have multiple personality disorder, and are taking it out on your poor characters?

lol, I'm sure. I think. Maybe.
Nah, I just like to have a Yuji for every occasion. That and my goth phase warranted a goth Yuji. :D

Okay, so you should definitely go to youtube and look up 'feeling good' by michael buble. Melts my world. xD It makes me feel awesome, too!

Sure, I'll take a listen. If you get a chance, watch/listen to the FMA Brotherhood Opening 2. seriously good!

Yes, it is! Although most (if not all) of your music tastes that you've shared with me are Japanese. ;) What are some English bands that you're into?

My tastes are all over the place. I liked a few one hit wonders, like A Flock of Seagulls. Some offbeat stuff like The Presidents of the Unites States of America. Occasionally, Korn. Then the few odd songs by different groups. Mein Teil, The Outsider, things like that.

xD Mine are, too. I like Imogen Heap, Owl City, Phoenix, Death Cab for Cutie/ The Postal Service, Michael Buble... Coldplay. Occasionally Katy Perry. Hmm. I wish I could just send you my iTunes library. xD It would be easier to explain.

I'm a fan of Collide, too. I really like video game and movie soundtracks. Resident Evil on both counts, for example. I also like Crush 40 and Zebrahead (some stuff).

You listen to a lot of stuff that I've never heard of! xD It must be a generation thing. Or a location thing.

So, what's up atm?

Influence thing for sure. I had a lot of different cousins, all just older than me enough to be cool, and they liked music that was all over, so that's where that came from.

Not much. Just the usual stuff. Trying to relax for a bit. How about you?

Just listening to music, waiting for my friend to get off work so he can call me. One of my absolute favorite songs of all time - I Will Follow You Into the Dark by Death Cab for Cutie. I used to listen to it at least once a day. Once I actually gain some sort of mastery over the guitar, I intend to put a cover of it on youtube. xD

Another one of my fave songs EVER... Hallelujah (originally by Leonard Cohen.) I'd have to say Imogen Heap's version of it just tears my heart out. It's such a beautiful song.

I'll occasionally listen to some orchestra stuff. Along the lines of Star Trek themes, but even some older German stuff. And I love national anthems, too. Germany's is among the more upbeat anthems.

I like some orchestral stuff. The classics for me. Verdi, Mozart, etc etc.

What I listen to really depends on my mood, I guess. Or what I'm doing. To relax or write, it's usually J-rock/pop. For exercise, it tends to be Korn, A Perfect Circle, and the like. It all depends on what I'm up to at the time.

They really are cool weapons.

(Wide-eyed innocence) Nuh-uh. No idea.
Two Words:

Pulitzer. Prize.

:D

Space. The Final Frontier. These were SUPPOSED to be the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Her continuing mission: To explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To bodly go where no man has gone before.
For Ensign Amy Collins, a medical officer, that was supposed to be how it went. Instead, she was assigned to Deep Space Nine in the far reaches of the Alpha Quardrant. Her new mission: To seek out her place in this odd metallic jungle. To boldy heal the oddest ailment from the Gamma Quadrant. To throw herself at her handsome boss and shun her hardline father.
(cue high-pitched TOS voice).

(leans over and whispers exactly what with a seductive grin)

Wait, what's this about a pulitzer prize?

xD Well, the pilot is going to be a little more action-packed than that. what with all the fighting terrorists and all. Although I love the 'handsome boss' bit. He is certainly most handsome.

And you said I had an imagination! XD

You're going to win one. Or something. Hey, originally I said 'Academy Award'.

(coughs something that sounds suspiciously like 'scrawny quack). Yeah, he's great. Then there's my elegant Jadzia...

xD Oh, if you met my imagination... It's crazy.

xD For this short story? (please forgive my density. I'm not functioning properly.)

(coughs something that suspiciously sounds like 'kick your @$$ back to the Delta quadrant'). Yes, he is. Especially behind closed doors. You would not BELIEVE the things that man can do.

Can't be any worse than mine. lol

lol, maybe I exaggerate and maybe categorize incorrectly XD

(coughs 'Just try it. I'll hide behind Dax and then you won't be able to touch me. Hahaha! Bashir is a nice guy, but man, he needs to eat like 20 cheeseburgers!) one heck of a coughing spell there. (clears throat obnoxiously)

Well, I'm off for the night. Good chatting with you!

Jadzia doesn't scare me. I'll take you down, and if Dax gets in the way then so be it.
And lmao at the cheeseburgers.

My teacher read the first two lines and was like, "hmm, now where have I heard that before?" But he liked it. XD

So, looks like I'll be finishing the pilot within the next two weeks! Lol due dates are so motivating.

lol, fair enough. But if Dax is hurt, then I'll be angry. And you...won't like me when I'm angry! XD

Ah, good. We're all Trekkies deep down; awaken his inner Trek and you're good :)
Or you could just dazzle him with the quality I've come to expect from you. Whatever works :)

They really are XD

Pssh. You're scrawnier than Bashir! You could hardly do any damage. Not that you could hurt a girl. Your gentlemanly conduct wouldn't allow it. So you're at a double disadvantage.

xD True.
D'awwwwh! That definitely made me smile.

Being a gentleman sucks. you don't get the girl, and you don't smack her around in protest either! lmao, jk.

:D

Well, it gets you the girl sometimes. Although not as often as it should.

How are you tonight?

I'm just old fashioned. And unfortunately, most old fashioned girls that would match my personality type don't fit quite right. Me, I'd love a cute little Tsundere girl. That's realistic imho XD

Not bad. How about you?

Lol it works for me!

Pretty good. Just watched the ep where K'Ehlar dies. And now I'm on to Doctor Who.

Me, too XD

sounds nice ^^ I'm working on fics.

I've got that planned for Sunday. lol

I can't wait to be done with school!!!!!!

Not horribly lucky; she had just taken her top off when I woke up. It could have been better, but it could have been worse.

Thanks so much ^^ I'm glad you liked it. I think it made sense for Yuji, and for poor Miko, so I was happy with it.

I hear you! Thirteen days left for me!

Lol I got farther than you! xD Poor you. (patpats)

I thought it was wonderfully done.

13 school days left! But uh... who's counting, eh? Hahahahaha, I'm certainly not. >_>

Well, it was taking place in a hospital. Do I get points for location?

Thanks :) I can't wait for the next couple updates- Yuji starts having some interesting and slightly less miserable times.

I admit it- I totally am. I'm counting. I've been counting since the semester started. lol.

Lol you do get some points for that. Mine was in a bed. Although I get points for both of us being totally naked! HA!

I have to say, after I get the pilot finished, I probably won't do anything substantial until school's over. My mind is running too hard to keep up with the 'OH MY GOD WHY ARE WE STILL IN SCHOOOOOOOL' stage, so by the time I get home, I'm braindead. xD This summer, I'll probably be able to step up my game though.

I was tied up! Top that! XD

I've got the opposite problem. Working with Microsoft @^&$ing Access is giving me a nice mix of agita and anger, which is translating into idea after idea.

Ooh, bondage. Kinky. I like it. ;) Well... he had just given me a massage! And did I mention we were BOTH fully naked?

I'd rather have that problem. xD

Darn. Well, we were both winners with dreams like those, then ;)

Problem is, I've got too many. I keep getting new ones and scrapping the old ones, and then forgetting both!

Lol true enough ;)

Ah, that's fair enough. What you do is you write them down right THEN, then write the new ones down too. xD Unless you have semi-photographic memory like me. Then you can remember it all.

The dream with Dax...it was so weird, though, that my 'Spock' self is standing there watching all Vulcan-like (A couple buddies of mine call me Spock once in a while because I can be darned unreadable when I want to be), while my much cooler self makes the move.

Well, I write them down. Then I expand on them, without keeping the original idea in mind. So I might get good ideas, but they're unuseable because I forget what started them. lol.

That is slightly odd. But everyone has moments like that. I've had some dreams that even WHEN I was having them, they didn't make sense. I'm in the middle of this going WTF IS GOING ON HERE?

Ah, I understand.

I can't wait to see those convention pics, with you and those trill spots. xD

Those are fun sometimes, too. One time, I was having Naruto dream. I was training with all of them, and (of course) was close to some romance with Sakura. Then, all of a sudden- they were all, like, seven years old, and I was babysitting them. Even in the dream, I'm going 'Wait, wait...she was 18 two seconds ago! (everyone was slightly older)'.

lol, that will be interesting. Provided my costume gets in order. I got the costume pattern a week ago- no %*(*ing instructions or fabric lists! And the guy is unreachable by email. And then two of my potential costume creators dropped out! Geez, what is this, the Kobayashi Maru of the covention set?

xD Nice.

I'd say it was made out of nylon. If I were in town, I'd totally love to go fabric shopping. My mom could fit you, and I'd make her make it for you. That sounds like so much fun.

Also, I figured I'd share some of my photography with you: http://www.flickr.com/photos/62505713@N02/

Yes, there are pictures of me mixed in there. xD Anyway, lemme know what you think!

It was, up until I was babysitting --' THAT sucked.

It would be so much easier if I was doing TOS uniforms. Velour top and polyester pants (I just finished reading about four books- two Shatner, one Takei, one Doohan). But no, I've gotta go with the 23rd century jumpsuit!

You have some impressive work in there. That one with the footprints on the beach is really cool. That one with the church tower (I think it was a church tower; tall building, blue and yellow)- that's a nice bit of architecture.
If there was a red bikini in there anywhere, I was gonna strike a noseblood, I'm not kidding ya! XD

xD fair point.

Haha well, 'cause you're lame like that.

It was actually a skyscraper, but... close? xD Lmao I wish I'd had one in there. Actually, I'll be honest, I don't own a red bikini yet. As soon as I do, I'll let you know. xDD

Okay, I have to finish the story outline for my 'short story' and have it turned in tomorrow. I was hoping you could help me out. xD
--
I. Setting

II. Characters:
A. Protagonist and a bit about him/her (got that covered)
B. Antagonist and a bit about him/her (uh?)
C. Other minor characters (also got that covered)

III. Conflict and synopsis of the story (hmm...?)

IV. Theme (What is the point of your story?) xD Idk?

VI. Tone: What mood do you want to create? (i dunno... what mood do I want to create?)

I guess it was like a reverse hentai game or something. I haven't actually played one, of course, despite being an otaku of good standing XD

That and I'd be damn sexy in a jumpsuit.
Pffft. Could say THAT with a straight face! XD

Ah, I see. There's a church that looks like that not far from where I live, so that's where that came from. Subconscious assosciation. Loved the seagulls, too.

Let's see...
I. Space. The final frontier.

II.
A- check. Amy!
B- Antagonist- May I suggest those Bajoran terrorists? Or did you scrap that story line?
C- checkaroonie.

III. Depends on what you're going to have your terrorists do. Synopsis:
Space. The Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Well, it was suppose to be. Then Ensign Collins got reassigned to Deep Space Nine and dropped into the lap of Dr. Julian Bashir. She could totally kick his @$$. She could beat up Worf. She could toss Sisko out an airlock and remain unapologetic. She's that good.

IV. I would say 'exploration'. That's one of those words that everyone likes. Oh, and 'Missions of Peace'. And the old Star Trek standby: IDIC. Infinite Diversity for Infinite Combinations.

VI. Tone...well, Star Trek is a paced, thought provoking series. I tend to think of it as kind of a sedate, continuing saga, peppered with action and tasteful romance. How you would make that 'mood' I don't know.

Ooh! I just looked through that album again and you're right! It was a church. -_- my bad.

Hey, I bet you would! ;) I love me a man in uniform. Or... out of it. ;)

No I didn't! I think it works. And lmao at 'checkaroonie.'

Well, I haven't even decided. xD I mean, they're going to try to attack DS9, but the Odyssey will intercept the shot and mayhem will ensue. I could also have 'personal conflict' be how everyone sees her as the 'admiral's daughter' instead of Ensign Collins. Just rofl at that whole synopsis. Although I think she'd feel guilty for tossing Sisko out the airlock... unless he provoked her.

Well, it's supposed to be a short story, so I'm not sure if that will work. I'll find out tomorrow, I suppose! xD

Lol I'll figure it out. It's a rough draft for the rough draft. So anything goes, really, as long as it's filled out. You've helped a lot. Brb, I'm filling out the outline!

It happens. It could have gone either way, because now that I think about it, there's also a skyscraper that looks like that around here XD

I found out that you can actually get a ST II:WoK starfleet jacket for regular use. The dork in me is going bananas at that. Oh, and the news that they invented an animatronic, interactive tribble.

:D

oh, that's a good one. The personal conflict part. I coudl see a teacher eating that one up.
Feel free to use that synopsis, btw XD

Do you know what sort of thing the teacher is looking for. Is it supposed to be some 'human nature' observation. Like 'Everyone has a mission'?

Glad to be of service :)

Haha, well that's a good point.

xD NERD. My brother bought a zip up hoodie that when it's zipped up, it looks like a palm, but when you unzip it, it's the vulcan 'live long and prosper' hand sign. xD It's so cool. He freaked out when he showed it to us. He's like "guys guys look. It's a palm, right?" (unzip) "look look look!" He's so cute.

I'm feeling free. xD

Yes. "even if it's just to get a glass of water, give every character something they're striving for."

I know better ways one could be of service ;) xD

Bashir: It's lovely, really. Damned comfortable, too (smiles)

Holmes: Well, let's see...I actually speak Japanese and Vulcan, rather than rely on the universal translator. (Shrugs) And I'm a sucker for dark hair and ponytails...

Kira: Speaking of Quark, where is he? I'm ready to order.

I am, too. Same number for me. It can't end soon enough.

Dax: (laughs) Dark hair and ponytails? Who would have thought?

Odo: Good question. (Calls out) Quark!

I'm so excited. Is this your last year of college?

Holmes: I know, it's a shock, right? (laughs) I'm also girl shy and ticklish.

Kira: (laughs) I never thought I'd hear you calling Quark without adding a 'you're under arrest' after it!

Quark: (Mock graciousness) Oh, are we ready to order? Or should I leave before you toss me out on my lobes? (sarcastic, but holds up a data padd to take orders)

It should be, but I'm really taking my time with my coursework, so I've got a bit more time to put in.

Btw I do believe Amy and Bashir have been going at it for 3 or 4 days now. xD

Dax: Ticklish, hmm? (Evil glint in her eye)

Odo: What does everyone want?

I see. What are you going to be, if you don't mind my asking?

lol, super endurance apparently. I suppose we should have them finish up tastefully somehow.

Holmes: And you already know about the leash thing...

(to Odo)Theris-masu and Kreila for me.

Kira:Hasperat and Deka tea for me

I'm majoring in business. Specifically, I'd like to work in the video game industry.
How about you?

Dax: (nods to Dan) I'll have the same.

Odo: I'll have what the Major's having.

I haven't decided. xD. Either English, physical therapy, or photography.

Holmes: Oh, and four 'Black Holes', please. I've got to thank you for turning me onto those, Jadzia

Kira: I wonder what you're like when you have synthehol, Odo?

Quark: Very well. Coming right up.

All good choices :)

Dax: They ARE pretty good. (Puts her hand on his knee under the table)

Odo: I... I don't actually know. I've never had it before.

I also have a huge fascination with music videos, and the making of.

Holmes: (Shifts in his seat, surprised) I love them. They're the best drink ever!

Kira: I'm usually more of a tea person, but seeing as how we're all taking it easy tonight...

That is a cool subject, too.
I'd love to be an actor on a TV series. Or a voice actor for anime, too.

Dax: (squeezes his knee, watching him with an amused look)

Odo: That's true. We're here to enjoy ourselves.

Ooh yes, being a voice actor would be awesome. I hate being in front of the camera. xD

Holmes: (Sits up perfectly straight, clumsily spills a bowl of bar nuts on the table) You know, it IS hot in here.

Kira: Synthehol tends to loosen you up, Odo. So maybe we'll finally see what you're REALLY thinking.

It would be cool to do a series like Star Trek. Act for seven years or so, then do conventions the rest of your life. Not a bad way to live.

Dax: (teasing voice) You ought to relax, Daniel.(moves her hand a little higher and squeezes)

Odo: (looks confused) Am I that much of a mystery? (Looks to Dax and Daniel for confirmation)

Lol true enough.

Holmes: I'm totally relaxed! (exhales to calm himself, but blows that when the pressure on his knee increases)
(To Odo) You really are, Constable.

Kira: You sure are! But it's charming.

Quark: (Delivers the food) Here you are.
Rom: (Sets the drinks down) Hi everyone. Enjoy!

It would be really cool to see Dan Holmes as a real character someday.

Hi!

I just realized that in my DS9 chapter I made a mistake (soon to be corrected). Calling the Rio Grande, Hudson, etc 'Runabout Class' Vessels is a mistake. That's just an informal name. If you mention the class, the correct term is 'Danube class'. I just realized that --'

Hope you're doing well tonight! I'll be around later.

Hey, I'm here! Ah, it happens. I just realized the other day that the 'incident' that caused Amy to switch career tracks couldn't have occured only 2 months before she was supposed to join the crew of the Enterprise. She would have had to have been in medical school all that time. xD

Hmm...well, since I don't know what the incident is (and don't tell me; I want to be surprised!), I can only offer a couple ideas.
The first would mean altering the timeline. Perhaps you could note that Amy's discontent with her father's interference is not a new thing- maybe he pulled some strings to get her into Starfleet Academy a semester or two earlier, for example.
The second is that you could always have her be a cadet on a training mission when whatever it is happens.

Oh my God, I had THE hokiest (and yet, strangely almost satisfying) dream. 'I' was on DS9, as my character. But at the same time, I was myself, watching the whole thing from a cameraman's perspective. The 'camera' me was wearing the old uniforms- the ones that started with ST2: Wrath of Khan, I believe. (this was before my mini movie marathon, so it's not recent. This was before I knew you were an ST fan).
So, apparently all this crap has happened, and now Holmes his going in for his big scene- the hero's kiss with Dax. We go to the deserted upper level of the promenade at about 4 am earth time (my 'camera' self has his hands behind his back, watching Spock-like). Now the ridiculous part- with the setting perfect, complete with stars in the background, we move in for the kiss. Holmes reaches up- ridiculously, as apparently Dax is near eight feet tall in this installement, on his tiptoes and hugs her. He is about face level with her chest, standing normally. He makes his move and snakes his arm around her waist and upper back. She is shocked for a moment, yes, but recovers quickly and indulges the young ensign (my camera self nods grimly, apparently pleased) by returning the embrace. They go in for the kiss. We are just centimeters away from the most epic kiss evah! And then, mirroring my real life self's incredible sense of timing-
Time to wake up.
...

I sit up, now wearing my sleepwear, and not attired in a starfleet uniform, not kissing Dax, not doing anything but trying to feel, in vain, for a Starfleet uniform, either DS9 jumpsuit or red jacket. No dice.
I am now awake, and all I can think of is how much life sucks.

lol, it was so hokey, though! The 'starlight kiss', where the battered young hero finally touches the unreachable goddess. lmao, it's so lame!

The pathetic recesses of my subconscious aside, I've also updated 'Serving'.

Lol I thought it was cute in a strange way. xD we all have those dreams.

Also, I have a short story assignment in English. i think I'm going to make it be my DS9 pilot. xD once I finish it that is.

ALSO, yay! I'll read that in a bit!

How are you this evening?

But what the hell, waking up before the big kiss? And who knows where that could have gone! XD

Cool!

Enjoy :)

I'm not too bad; how about you?

I've had that happen to me. xD We were JUST getting to the good part. He threw me down on the bed and POOF I woke up. I was so sad.

I know right?

Off to read it now!

Pretty good. I'm filling out graduation announcements. But I have to wait for my grandmother and my dad to send more addresses.
