Brief news and f-list lurve.

[letterblade]

Checked my phone messages; am not fired, at least not yet. And it's nice out. It'll be a nice walk to work, I can pick up my paycheck...and then possibly face my doom. We'll see. I'm one of the best workers they have, but I also majorly, majorly fucked up.

Still brewing the letter to my grandmother, though Mum will have a cow or six if she comes home and I'm not working on it, so I'll try to write some today.

Feeling...better. Not brilliant, but functional.

In non-serious-RL-related-news, have gotten through "The Wire" in second season DS9, and I think Garak/Bashir is now officially my Tertiary OTP (next to Shinji/Kaworu, the Primary OTP, and Tuvok/Suder, the Secondary OTP, and how odd is it that two of the three are in Trek?) They're just so...fascinating. XD

Yesterday watched Tank Girl and Unleashed. They both fucking ROCKED, albeit for very disparate reasons--the latter had me teary, the former had me dancing on the couch.

Still stalling on the remix. Tonight, I hope, though that'll depend upon how horrible my mother is upon return (she's coming back while I'm at work, so I'll get home from closing to find her. Joy. -.-)

But mostly the point of this post is to thank you all for your comments over the past few days. It takes me a long time to digest words of kindness when I'm this far gone, and there's a lot to sort through, but I want to make it clear that everything's read and appreciated even if I don't manage to reply. Even the internet's draining as of late, and I'm very very shy and afraid, but I do still love and acknowledge you all, even if I have trouble typing that into the six dozen comment boxes I'd need to properly respond to all you've given me. And I really hope this doesn't come across as rude and dismissive, because that's so not the intent.

Oh, Garak/Bashir my "the pairing I keep trying to deny but I can't because WTF it's so awesome and I'm ashamed to be slashing Star Trek but really, it's loads better than Julian's canon romanced in season seven har har har" OTP.

Between 'The Wire' and the fact that Garak allowed Bashir to sit in on Enabrin Tain's death (and, well, y'know EVERYTHING ABOUT THEIR RELATIONSHIP) I'd have to say those two have one of the most fascinating relationships in a Star Trek series period.

On that note, have you ever read 'A Stitch in Time' (the Star Trek novel)? It was actually written by Andrew J. Robinson and was totally slashy a really interesting read into Garak's character. HE'S CANONICALLY BISEXUAL, HAR!

But yes. Star Trek. < /trekkie>

The thing I love about Garak is that while he and Bashir definitely has something going, Garak has moments with every single main character of the show (save maybe Jake). So you can pair Garak with anyone, Garak/Odo, Garak/Sisko, Garak/Worf, Garak/O'Brien, Garak/Nog (just you wait until season 5 :-) )

Oh, Empok Nor. XDDD

The thing about Garak though is that he has that intentionally learned, painfully pleasant demaneour that always makes it seem like he's flirting/implicating things when he's just trying his best to be offputting.

With Julian sometimes he gets downright snappy, hostile and unpleasant. A lot of his true personality (pessimistic, melodramatic, condescending, terribly broken) shines through when he's around Bashir (much to the Doctor's shock). Which is why they're totally the OTP (I'm sure everyone else on the station assumes they must have SOMETHING going on because, really).

But Sisko has totally gotten in some of the best one liners on him.

"How is it that no one's killed you yet, Mr. Garak?"
