I wish.... more than anything.... more than life.... more than jewels.... more than the moon....

/Into the Woods

Ah, the joys of being an insomniac. I was up all night going through the old ELF list archive. I wish my old computer hadn't first crashed then fallen into the hands of my evil younger brother, thus losing all of my old conversations with people like emeraldgreensea, chance, and especially AT. The stapler thing yesterday with emerald is what brought up this sudden surge of nostalgia.

I wish I had my original drafts of Gethsemane. It's gotten so warped over the three years I've been working on it that I don't even know what my original intent for it was. Does anyone out there have those?

Anyway. I'm going to settle down with some yummy Chinese food (I swear to God, the best pan-fried noodles on the face of the planet) and watch Nothing But the Truth again, since my mother took it upon herself to try to talk to me during all of the key scenes (aka, scenes that Lucas was in).

Setting my own guidelines

This is probably not what they meant when they asked me to do some research on the Net. ;-) But I'm sure you have some useful hints on donor lists, right? No? Okay, we'll call this a break then.

I might have some of the original drafts of Gethsemane at home.

And I feel your pain, I've lost chats and mails from friends that I didn't want to lose. I've gotten much better at backing things up, but that doesn't return the things I've lost.

And Kreig Lite...hee. Shame on your mother for wanting to talk to you. ;)

This is reseach, what are you talking about? And I'm always willing to accept donations, although I'm pretty sure the donors mentioned are not the kind I would like.

Ooooooooo if you could look, that would be so great!
I'm putting more things on disk these days, but I've still lost a LOT of things I wish hadn't been lost.

I know, right? She should know better by now.

[emeraldgreensea.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, we're looking for donors, not making donations. We'll just put my journey into your lj as a "mental health" break. ;)

I'll look this weekend and see what I can find.

You'll just have to re-educate her then.

[patientalien.livejournal.com]

Mental health break? :\ Oookkkay.....

Thank you muchas. I've looked on every disk it could possibly have ended up on, and I've come up with nothing but that Katie piece which seems to have written itself since I don't remember doing so.

Oh trust me. She said "Let's you, me, and your brother go to Concord today in the un-air-conditioned car." I said "I have a better idea." ;)

[emeraldgreensea.livejournal.com]

Yes, commenting to you, keeps me from stapling any unsuspecting, but deserving people who have irritated me. And today, there are a lot who qualify.

I actually remember the Katie piece.

I can see where that might not be your idea of a fun day.

[patientalien.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm glad to be of assistance, then. ;) We wouldn't want you booked on assault before you could get back to writing....

Well, I'm glad one of us does, because I sure don't. I'm continuing it, though. I like the premise and I have a decent idea of what to do with Katie.

No. The only way it could have been worse is if she said we were bringing the dog.

[emeraldgreensea.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you have your priorities straight. Not that I plan to get booked for assault any time soon.

In fact I think I have a little more than what you posted on your lj. Why yes, I am a packrat when it comes to stories, snippets and other things.

Ooo... that would have been a treat. ;)

[patientalien.livejournal.com]

Yes, well, what can I say? And I do hope that's not on your "to do" list for the forseeable future.

Really? I wonder if you have more than what I have on my disk. I used to write in my email program instead of Word... could you look for that, too? I know, I know, I'm being a pain, but I'm trying to get back a lot of what I'm only now realizing I lost.

I know. Ugh. I'd rather have teeth pulled.

[emeraldgreensea.livejournal.com]

You're just a helpful person, right? Yeah, I think I'll try to avoid getting arrested in the foreseeable future.

Yeah, I have a vague recollection that there was more. I'll look, it's not a problem.

At least when teeth are pulled, you get good drugs (or at least I did).

[patientalien.livejournal.com]

Being helpful is my reason for living. It would be nice if you didn't get arrested.

Thank you soooo much!!!

I've never actually had a tooth pulled, but I did get a filling the other day. ;)

[emeraldgreensea.livejournal.com]

Well, you are quite helpful. Yeah, I don't think I'd like jail very much.

No problem, I don't make any promises mind you, but I'll look.

Lucky you. I've actually had many teeth pulled...ah, the joys of braces.

[patientalien.livejournal.com]

I doubt you would. And I'm not too keen on having to testify at your trial, either.

That's all I ask. Thank you. :)

Yuck. I had braces, but luckily nothing needed to be pulled out. I will need my wisdom teeth out before I'm off my parents' insurance, though.

[emeraldgreensea.livejournal.com]

I plan on you being one of my character witnesses if I'm arrested. :)

And guess what? I found it. I'll be e-mailing shortly. Still looking for Gethsemane.

My mouth is too small for all my teeth, so I had four adult teeth pulled, plus the wisdom teeth, because I'm lucky like that.

[patientalien.livejournal.com]

Oh great, am I going to be expected to lie under oath and tell people you're perfectly sane?

Whoa, no kidding? Sweet. :) Thank you!!!!

Oh yuck, that's awful! I guess it helps to have a big mouth. ;)

[emeraldgreensea.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, we'll find a very special definition of sane, so that it won't really be lying. ;) And I'd do the same for you.

I sent it, so you should have it. You're welcome.

Hee! I guess so. Yeah, I had much fun with the dentist in my earlier years.

[patientalien.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay. Gotcha. And I know you would do the same for me, and I appreciate it. :)

Got it. Thanks. :)

I can imagine. Yuck.

[emeraldgreensea.livejournal.com]

Friends have to stick together. :)

You're welcome.

Well, now I have nice straight teeth, so it paid off in the end.

I wanna play I wanna play!!

[chance1562.livejournal.com]

You two are having way too much fun without me, that's not allowed! ;-)

D, I've got some old convos and fics of AT's (that aren't on the web that I know you've seen) that I can send to you if you like. I know what it's like when you lose something you _can't_ get back.

[patientalien.livejournal.com]

Hey, you're always welcome in the fun. :)

Oh COULD you?? It's your turn to get pestered. ;)

I don't know what brought on this need to get all my old stuff back, but hey.

[chance1562.livejournal.com]

Hey, how could anyone have fun without me? ::tongue in cheek::

I will look through my PC and send you everything I have within the next week. It's gonna take me a bit cause "Daniel" is so not organized I'm surprised I find my stuff half the time.

You're feeling nostalgic, there's nothing wrong with that.

[patientalien.livejournal.com]

lol, I don't know, but we've been doing it. You're welcome to join in, though.

yeah, I know the feeling. If I had been more organized, I wouldn't have lost half this stuff in the first place.

Good thing, too. ;)

It's not our fault you're late getting to the party. ;)
