"If It Will Help My Sea Level Go Down..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

I haven't mentioned it or anything, but I've been doing a small fast for the last two weeks (it's only for two weeks). Nothing has gone wrong, but that's probably because it's not to make me lose weight. Any any rate, it's over Saturday.

Library to-morrow, and then I must come home and PACK. I laundered all my things, and sent my prescription in to-day to pick up to-morrow, and I remembered to cancel my appointment. I am amazing and wonderful, all right? Just because I did the things I meant to to-day. Also, I snuck out about an hour ago and taped coloured paper hearts to the interior of Mum's car, because she says to-morrow at work for her is going to be awful. So I thought maybe that would help, if just a little. Just the thought. Nothing practical.

Happy birthday, skyarma! Or at least LJ would have me believe so. I hope it was very lovely. ♥

Two days! Only two days.

You do such lovely things for people. ♥ ♥ ♥

*squeaks!* It's just paper hearts. ^^;;

[tinyammmy]

It was, thank you! Or mostly, except having to go to work, but that wasn't too bad.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Oh, ick. I had to do that on mine, too. But I'm glad it was good. ♥

[tinyammmy]

Thank you. ^_^

^__^ Can I make you a birthday drabble or anything?

[tinyammmy]

Aw, that's so sweet of you. If you like, though I don't really have anything specific to request. Arthuriana of any sort is shiny, I suppose. (I'm almost done with the White, by the way, and I feel the man owes Gaheris a personal apology.)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I can do arthuriana! Pairing/situation/guilty pleasure? (Ahaha. I'm still in book one, but. XD)

[tinyammmy]

Um... *flails* I don't know. (I enjoy lots of it, but he isn't very good to the poor Orkneys.)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Oh, come on. :P You've been sucked into the world of their crazy for the last few months. What'll it be? Gaheris/Mordred? Percy/Galahad/Heli? Percy/Her? Dinadan/anybody? Gawain/Ragnelle? Arthur/Lance/Gwen? (Awwww. I remember Mordred ranting about Gawain's character bastardisation.)

[tinyammmy]

I can't pass up Gaheris/Mordred, much as I love some of the other options. Percy/Her makes Cimorene all titchy anyway. XD (Yeah, Gawaine is kind of bloodthirsty, and Mordred's a bit of a snot. Also, Agravaine is so in love with Morgause, it isn't even funny.)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Gaheris/Mordred it is, then! Keyword? Also, awww, Cimorene. XD Percy/Her can be really lovely. Also twitch-causing. (Hee hee hee. Gaheris is insulted. They took his mommy issues and gave them to Agravaine? Horrors. ...Also, Mr. White? Way to add gratuitous es.)

[tinyammmy]

Keyword... ghosts. Percy/Her is lovely, in a heartbreaking sort of way. But then again, I'm not in love with Percy, either. At least not much. ^_~ (Mr. White compares the knights to cricketers. So... there is that. Also, Merlyn brings up Hitler.)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Ooo. Okay, coming right up. See, it is! Because it's such a genuine love on his part, and he makes it so beautiful. But yes. There is definitely that. :D (...Yes. He. Um. What did I tell Snowy? 'Like Wodehouse dropping acid'.)

[tinyammmy]

(Ha. Yeah, that's fairly accurate. But there are parts of it I really do love, even if a large portion of it is bizarre. His Arthur really is one of my favorites in some ways, though it's funny how much I've internalized DF Orkneys as canon now. XD)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

(Well, I am amused so far. Also, DF Orkneys are totally canon, what are you saying?)

Drabble!:

In the castle, the tapestries, woven by Gawain's people for their King, hang along the walls to welcome the one who comes home. They are rich with the spirits of the Orkneys.

There were no tapestries in their mother's time. Then, when Mordred caught Gaheris to pull him away for a kiss, they ducked into another empty room, or fled to the standing stones, they sometimes laughed. Things are different now. They press close shielded by billows of red cloth, pretending the ghosts don't remind them every moment: soon they will both be orphans.

The wind drops. Red covers them.

♥♥♥

Thank you!

(The measure of all the Arthuriana I read now is how 'right' it is by DF standards. ^_~)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Yes! Absolutely.

(XD You're. um. not alone in that.)

[tinyammmy]

(And I don't even play an Arthurian pup yet. Though Cimorene is getting to the point where she practically counts.)

--May I ask why you were fasting, because I am prying and nosy?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Pssshh. <3 It was actually because of the GERD that has been afflicting me. I was hoping that eating less (I was doing like a lent fast, not cutting out food altogether but just some foods) would help. It didn't, so I'm stopping now. Take that, body. ...TMI, yes, sorry.
