Happy birthday to goneplatinum. I hope you're having a great day!

Corey's team won a game tonight! It made the two hours standing in the cold totally worth it. Now if he could move that winning streak from the school team to the club team, that would be great.

It's been a long day today. James went to see the nerve doctor, and underwent some nasty tests, some of which included sticking needles into his muscles then shocking them, which ouch. It was fascinating watching how the equipment worked, but poor James is hurting right now. The doctor said there was something wrong with the nerves running from his neck, which may be affecting his hand. Which means more tests and hospital visits.

After that it was calling in to grab something to make for tea, posting cards, then watching the rugby tournament. There was only me, James and two other mams there supporting our team. We may have been shamefully loud and enthusiastic. But I really need to remember to wear my trainers when I'm at the games, my feet are so cold!

Other things. First, rikes is offering sparkly Christmas downloads, complete with discussion on some posts. You should go check out her journal and tell the world how much Justin's fuzzy jumper rocks.

Also, as I left this morning I noticed vaudeville's had posted All that Stuff's A Sideshow. I've watched this story grow for months now, and I love it; a lot. It's a long, wonderfully written trickyfish fic, and I think you should all go read it and enjoy. Which is exactly what I'll be doing later, a treat for tonight when I've thawed out.

Which means more tests and hospital visits.
Poor James... *hugs* I hope they'll be able to 'fix' whatever the problem is.

Congrats on the boy for winning the game!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too. But they're doing something, which is a plus.

Thank you! He did good tonight, and I can feel my toes again, which is always a plus *g*

[vaudevilles.livejournal.com]

Oh poor poor James - what horrid tests. Hopefully they'll find out exactly what's happening and be able to sort it out soon though.

Thank you for the rec. I hope you like the (finally!) completed story, and that you've managed to thaw out enough to read without your teeth chattering!

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

warm socks (you can even pile up two pairs), babe, and closed shoes, that's the key to keeping your toes lol

[sassyrose88.livejournal.com]

the test that James had? Bret had to go thru the same thing. He even cancelled it twice just bc it freaked him out so much. Hope you guys get the answers you need. Good luck, k?

I would love to help you thaw out with a cup of chider (half-chai, half-cider) but for the life of me I can't find a quick pic for you. Guess you'll have to just go with the thought instead this time. Hope you're good.

Oh man! Hubby had that "shock" test done about two years ago. He said it was painful! And all it did was confirm that he had a bad C-7 vertabrae and the start of carpal tunnel. *sigh* So much ado about nothing, ya know! I hope James gets the answers he's wanting!

Yay for Corey's team winning! Nothing beats that feeling! WOOHOO!

*sends you a heating pad for your toesies* I hope they warm up quickly! :)

[ninjetti75.livejournal.com]

I have an "Eeeep!" for James, 'cuz OI, that does *not* sound fun. I hope it gets the problem solved quickly, at least.

And congrats to Corey on the win!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It was a very eeeep moment. Apart from the needles, the doc was using what looked like a cattle prod, not fun at all.

It was the first win of the season, so yay!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

The shock test looked nasty. While it is amazing what the medical profession can do, how they get those results is a bit on the ouch side at times.

How's your hubby btw?

I warmed up after a long bath and hours on the couch wrapped in a blanket watched tv. I tell you, I'll never wear my slip ons at a tournament again. Brrrr,

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I don't blame him for freaking at the test. Just watching it was bad enough. But yeah, I hope we get the answers too.

I've never had chider, but it sounds nice. So I'll hold onto that thought. You're very thoughtful. Thank you!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I really hope they do find out what's up soon :(

I had to rec the story! It's made of awesome and win.

[vaudevilles.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for the rec. I'm all happy and bouncy.

Terri!!! You've changed your journal!!! There are pictures of non-Chris type people *waits for the world to stop spinning* OK I know Mr Mikey Way... who's the other guy?

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I have! I did it yesterday! People never seemed to believe me when I said that I'm multi fannish and always have been. No idea why *g* So I slipped in some pictures to prove it. I have to admit though, it feels a little weird. Still, Chris will never leave my banner.

The third one is Victor Webster, who played Brennan in Mutant X. He's been my tv crush for years, well before the boyband thing. That's him in the icon.

[ariadnem.livejournal.com]

Good Lord, I hope James' condition is not too serious and he doesn't have to go to the hospital much; i really do hope he gets better soon *sends good vibes*. Also, I'm happy Corey's team won. *YAY*

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

My eyes!!! You've got Mikeyway in your journal, the horror!!

Ouch, ouch, ouch! That test sounds really icky!! I do hope the doctors'll manage to find out what's wrong with poor James without him having to take any more tests like that!!! *sends lots of good thoughts and positive vibes*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Ahahahaha. I may be plotting a Mikey ficlet for after SeSa. Then you'll have to read to show support ;)

It was a horrible test. I was glad when it was over.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, honey.

Btw, I sent your story back to you today. I hope you're still talking to me.

[ariadnem.livejournal.com]

Though a continent (or two?) away, I'm here for you *hugs*

You did? mmmmm gotta check my mail, then. And, why wouldn't I talk to you? *smooch* Did you like it?

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I did like it, a lot. I just added a lot of comments, and realised after I sent you may not like that. If so, sorry!

[ariadnem.livejournal.com]

Nah don't worry ^^ I'm glad you liked it, and I'm sure your comments will help me make it better ^^

Haven't got it yet, though :( Mind sending it again? arilabrys(at)gmail(dot)com

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I've just sent it again. Let me know if it doesn't turn up and I'll send from another addy.

[ariadnem.livejournal.com]

Nothing :'(

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

You're evil! *pouts*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I could do Patrick/Mikey!

Then Pete could be all jealous and Gerard all big brotherly, and it would be weird and there would be pictures of Patrick holding Mikey's cat all dressed up, and Pete would phone him saying, what the fuck? And Patrick would be all, like you can talk.

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

LOL!!!! Yes, write that, it would be hilarious!!! And I don't think I've ever seen any Patrick/Mikey actually so it would be a novelty too.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I hope you know I've never written a word of bandom before!

Patrick suspects the universe is telling him something. Something that clearly sounds like strange, skinny, slightly weird bassists are your destiny. Which isn’t a problem in itself, it’s just. Those strange, skinny, slightly weird bassists always come complete with baggage and quirks.

It’s why he’s found himself struggling to pull a fluffy pink jumper onto a wiggling cat, a task that seems impossible, and Patrick’s wondering what he’s done to deserve this.

“Hey,” Mikey says, and he crouches down, smiling as he runs his fingers along a small furred ear. “He looks great, you both do.” He looks up then, and his smile changes from one of affection to something more, something richer and intense, and Patrick gulps as he finally eases a cuff over a delicate paw.

Mikey rests his hand against Patrick’s jaw, long fingers and calloused fingertips, and he leans in, careful of the now purring cat. “You’re a natural.”

Patrick doesn’t agree, but he nods anyway, his eyes fluttering shut as Mikey brushes his lips against Patrick’s. The touch whisper soft, more a promise than an actual kiss.

“Pictures!”

Abruptly, Mikey’s gone, and Patrick should be used to this, because he’s spent a lifetime surrounded by people who spend their lives in quickfire motion, their rhythm that beat faster than his own. Except Mikey is gone for moments only, returning with a camera held in his hand.

Mikey sits next to Patrick, and his head is pressed against Patrick’s cheek, his hair tickling as he shifts, pulling the cat so he’s held under their chins, a pink jumpered ball of fluff. Patrick can’t help grinning when Mikey stretches out his arm, hand twisted so he can shoot a self picture, and says, “smile!”

The picture hits the internet the next day.

Five minutes after that, both Pete and Gerard call.

[vaudevilles.livejournal.com]

Yeah the multi-fannish thing is weird. And he's hot (though not as hot as my secret tv girlfriend).

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

(Awww Patrick! The universe is so mean to you :-) But this was a great ficlet!! I especially love the these three paragraphs “Hey,” Mikey says, and he crouches down [...] more a promise than an actual kiss. Great writing!! And the ending is PERFECT!!!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I've sent it through gmail this time. Again, let me know if it doesn't come. I'll get it to you somehow!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

But Patrick has a Mikey, and a cat to play dress up with! ;)

Thank you! It seems right somehow that the first words of bandom I write are for you.

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

It seems right somehow that the first words of bandom I write are for you.

And I love you so much for it!! *squishes you*

[taraangelx.livejournal.com]

Hey, you don't know me.. someone sent me over here BUT --

Oh my goodness! So cute! and perfect! Just... it's so real!

You should definitely do a sequel - or a companion fic - about Gerard's and Pete's reactions!

Absolutely awesome!

[geneli4.livejournal.com]

SO AWESOME OMG!!!

i especially heart the ending, because, yes. SWEET!

[sperrywink]

Squee! That's so cute!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Turlough is a bad influence *g*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I had fun writing them. I suspect I will again soon :)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Your comment has made me so happy! Thank you!

I have to admit, I enjoyed writing this and wouldn't say no to writing in the fandom again :)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

He's very hot!

Oh, secret tv girlfriend. Is that someone from Battlestar Galactica?

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

Oh no I'm not! I'm a very good influence, making you put Patrick in the story :-)

[vaudevilles.livejournal.com]

It's Starbuck. Who is so hot there are actually t-shirts for fangirls that read "Would switch for Starbuck".

[frausorge]

DUDE, SO AWESOME. I especially liked this: his smile changes from one of affection to something more, something richer and intense; and this: their rhythm that beat faster than his own. Except Mikey is gone for moments only - Patrick with his drumming history would so think in rhythm like that. Lovely!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Your comment makes me so happy! Thank you!

[saba1789.livejournal.com]

Hee, this is completely awesome! ♥ Thanks for writing and sharing it :) .

And OMG, I just now noticed that there's a Mikeyway in your sidebar! Hee!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

And yes, there is a Mikeyway in my sidebar! He's taking over OMG!

[audrarose.livejournal.com]

*GRIN* This was awesome, hon -- mikey (of course!) and PATRICK (!!!)

[audrarose.livejournal.com]

(and in my enthusiasm I hit enter too soon!)

I wanted to say that I love Patrick in this -- I love how tentative he is. Yay, yay, YAY!

(and here's to more in 08. It'll be fun, yes?)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

YAY! I'm glad you enjoyed!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Hee, thank you again.

And yes, there'll be more in 08.

I may have just posted a MCY story *g*
