It's a give and take kind of like we make

[blamethewizard]

Wow. Today was insane at work. We did something like $1500 in the first four hours of my shift, which is little more than $6/minute. That's pretty ridiculous seeing as our most popular menu item is $5. THANK YOU HARVARD FOR HOSTING A NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL DEBATE TOURNAMENT. APPARENTLY CHEESE AND CARBS MAKE GOOD FUEL FOR SPIRITED REPARTEE.

I wouldn't know. I'm allergic to dairy products.

Still, it was funny having random high school boys try to flirt with me for a free cookie. I prefer this to older guy who tried to flirt with me yesterday because he liked my tattoo. It's kind of cute when a 17 year old from Florida tries to smile and talk about how it is cold and be charming. It's not so cute when the 40-something guy asks me outright "Do you have a boyfriend?".

Erm. Anyway. I took this pic the other day on the way to the dentist. I thought these cars looked like knights, swords wipers at the ready to do battle with snow that never actually came in a meaningful way.



Oh, and there is a small sporting event going on right now, as you might know. The 33rd America's Cup, taking place in Valencia, Spain. I love boats.

Wait, you thought I was going to talk about the Olympics, right? Well, there is that. Which reminds me, I wrote an Olympics-related Merlin fic a while back, but I HATED THE ENDING because I copped out of writing porn. So, eventually I will own up to said work of writing, but NOT UNTIL I FIX THE ENDING. I should probably poke around for a beta if I'm going to go whole-hog, though. Hmm.

I actually do like the Olympics. Canada's a cool place, too. I dig it there. I once planned on competing at Spruce Meadows but it didn't pan out. Sad face.

I get you about the 40 something guy. The other day a 50 year old-ish one asked me point blank if I was uninhibited...

The young guy chatting about the weather sounds sweet though.

I think I may have read this Olympics fic of yours. At leats if I'm guessing right. If it was the one I read, it was lovely. And PG-13 is not a cop out! It's a choice based on mood ;P

Haha, yes...teenagers trying to be bold are kind of cute, much older guys not so much.

If you're thinking of the fic over on the kinkmeme, that was me *blushes*. It was the first fic I'd ever written, which I thought was kind of ridiculous (AU! Slightly porny! What?) so I'm not sure if I find that funny or fun :P

Thanks for support, though, and for the v-day gift. I've never had one of those before!! I was so excited :)

Yes, that was the fic I was thinking about. I really, really think you should own up to it. It was cute, in character and had a setting I'd never seen before. I understand little of most sports, but I find soprts fic marvellous to read as I'm sure others would.

You're very welcome. The hugging bears were calling to me...

LOL at forty-year-old skeeving - I worked at a classic car and plane museum over the summer (I KNOW right?) and I used to have to man the metal detector at the fake concorde check-in...and like EVERY day there was some charming 60-year-old making some witticism about cavity searches when he set it off.
Guh.

I worked at a classic car and plane museum over the summer Seriously? That's kind of awesome. I mean, a lot of people get jobs at bookstores or whatever, but that's much more original. Did you learn any useful and/or random information about classic cars and planes?

Wow, erm..body cavity search jokes. YEAH THAT'S VERY CREATIVE OF YOU, OLD MEN. Funtimes :P

[rayslady.livejournal.com]

ahaha, believe me, the knowledge I gained was limited. Mainly because I spent my entire working weeks dressed as a 70s air hostess behind the concorde desk.
Dear lord the humilliation.

omg those cars! :D

WAS THIS FIC AT THE KINK MEME? 'cause I think I've read like all of them =x

was it the one with the golden medal...'cause I think that one ended with sexytimes but it didn't.

OMG STOPPING SPECULATING NOW.

Why do older men think that that's ok, though? What happened to subtlety and cuteness?!

[blameitonmerlin.livejournal.com]

Yah you got me and my PORN FAIL :P I totally need write the Adult Pay Per View ending of that thing. Poor Arthur really did need consoling, after all. I totally have an expanded backstory of my Olypics! Merlin-and-Arthur too, but that's just me and my odd brain. I like it when they play sports a bit too much, I think.

I dunno what happened to subtlety and cuteness. This guy also asked if I had any other tattoos that weren't visible. Way to be classy, dude.

I like the cars with all their wipers up. Very funny.

[blameitonmerlin.livejournal.com]

Hehe thanks. They are ready for the elements :)

[josshouse.livejournal.com]

baww that picture of the cars is cute.

[blameitonmerlin.livejournal.com]

They looked so determined to fight off the elements. It must have worked because we barely got any snow that day :)
