Joys of Travel

[sincere]

So the "painful" security procedures at JFK took about five minutes and nobody even opened my bags. (which is good, because I had to use Masterful Packing Skillz to bring back all the stuff I'd managed to acquire. it was nearly EMPTY when I CAME to New York...)

On the other hand, I had what might be the most left-wing political discussion I've ever had with my taxi driver, an angry black man. He was angry at, among other things, the President, the administration, people who watch reality TV, people who vote stupid, people who don't like hippies, and pro-lifers.

The discussion ended as such--

ABM: Now I've got one last question for you. How could George W. Bush stay president for longer than his two terms?
Me: Er, well... Martial law.
ABM: EXACTLY. All that needs to happen is another town gets bombed, maybe two, and he can suspend Congress, declare it illegal for citizens to be out after 9 PM, and move the military on his own.

He shook hands with me as we parted, clearly pleased to have met such an intelligent and reasonable person. ("No one I've asked that question has ever known about martial law right off the bat!") But I feel kind of queasy now.


Also: What is wrong with me and my deviant AU-creating brain?
-Roxas eats Sora AU, KH2 continues on schedule (RP with Li-san)
-Riku becomes Kurix AU, KH2 derails and crashes and burns
-Sora chooses Namine AU, KH2 wobbles a bit (looks to be a oneshot now)
-Crazy Hospital AU, KH2? what KH2?
-World of Warcraft AU, KH2? what KH2?

Countdown to horrible surgery: less than 24 hours.

Three things:

1. I love love love that icon. XD

2. I visited thy former department today in search of a final I turned in last spring, which I desired to collect. Nostalgia. XD

3. I'll be in the air (or, at least, at an airport) when you're undergoing surgery, so I'll take that to mean that, because we once shared a living space, my soaring will mean that your health will soar, and all will be well.

I can't bear to get rid of it, even though it's a slow period for ranting about politics. ^_~ After all, if I complained about all the stupid shit going on in this country nowadays, I'd never stop posting...

Kay, darling, you seriously don't need any more AUs.

[kay-willow.livejournal.com]

I forgot the Seifer AU.

*hits head on desk* PUT DOWN THE FANFIC AND WALK AWAY SLOWLY.

That's what I keep telling her! I even did the whole plot for the Kurix RP so she would BURY the blasted thing. *feh*

[phinnia.livejournal.com]

Maybe there's a twelve-step program we can sign her up for? Fanfic Anonymous? Something? As someone who vastly prefers reading Kay's actual real fiction, I vote for this approach.

AUs are LOVE but only when they're KKM AUs.!!!

*wrote two whole pages of KKM AU today at work!* *flex*

As someone who will be undergoing horrible surgery in approximately a month, I sympathize. Good luck!

Also: I encourage whatever AU endeavors you see fit to share with us.

[kay-willow.livejournal.com]

...I bet your surgery is more horrible than mine. *hughugsharesgoodthings*

I will write more horrible AUs for our pain! XD

[chibimazoku.livejournal.com]

Hahaha. Mine sounds really bad, but isn't, actually. *hug anyway*

But yes! Clearly that's the only way to go.

*snugs* Good luck with the surgery!

*cuddles and offers anti-surgery fluff*

Much love for AU-producing brain. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I would wish you luck with the surgery, but you won't need it because you will be fine. You will be SUPER. You will be FANTASTIC. You will be...unconscious for the next 3-4 days. But NEVERTHELESS. You shall PREVAIL. *fluffs*

(Roxas EATS Sora? I really, really need to play KH2.)
