You're all familiar with my shocked face by now, right? Pretend I'm making it.

[aruan]

So, wow, my eyes. They burn. No, didn't try the goggles, but still having your contacts in and having sat in front of a computer screen for four hours at six o'clock in the morning will have that effect.

In other news, all caught up after skip=720! Reactions:

-Great googly-moogly, those JJBers et al must've gone to Challenge in a parallel dimension from mine. My boys were happy and fun, even if Justin was sickly (though he still smiled and goofed and played with his usual committed enthusiasm), JC was singed (though he still smiled and held that rubber band launcher even if he had to grit his teeth to do it, poor kitten), Joey was injured (though not dampened even slightly in spirit), Chris was a bit of a diva (but it only took a little coaxing by the right people and he was good again), and Lance,... well... uh, Lance seemed to be loving life all weekend, whatever he was doing. Don't bother him none that he can't play basketball, that people saw him checking in with a possessive boy. Which, honestly, should surprise no one and I will therefore move right along.

-Gasp! Shock! Practical jokes between best friends?! Weed smells from their and the entourage's quarters?! They curse and drink in the (relative) privacy of their own social circles?! Scandal! You mean they're not saving themselves just for me? That they don't lead Catholic-pure lives? I, for one, am floored by these revelations. Pass the fucking Kit-Kat, man.

-JC's only using two of the five released songs? You should hear the sad sounds of my heart breaking. I like his "polished demos" description though. I really enjoyed everyone's unbridled enthusiasm anytime JC's album was mentioned this weekend.

-However, touring with Tony? Not so much with the achey-breaky there. (ohmygoodgod!)

-allen_sama is a goddess among mere mortals. If I didn't already owe P my firstborn for FedExing me her ID for Crobar, I'd make the offer to her for www.nsyncgallery.org.

-Why yes, I did come home to *NSYNCLand DVDs. *frolics in footage*

-Found a community for PotC fanfiction. Expectations are about where they should be for an unrecommended forum, but dammit, I'll take my Jack/Will any way I can get it right just now.

-*checks the time* *lingers on the watch* Nope, new timepiece hasn't lost any of its novelty spiffiness. And if that's not a word, you'd be convinced this watch deserved for it to be made one if you saw it.

-Surprisingly (to me, anyhow, as no DJ down here has any taste in music) our local Top 40 station has Somnambulist in heavy rotation. This pleases me to no end, because yes. As it were.

As to quiz results, they tell me my "real OTP" is TrickC: Bendy, spazzy and angsty. What more do you need? Uh, that sounds nutritious enough for me. Still a JoLa girl (even if amuse139 is going to make me bleed for it), but you can't fight good logic. My personality test will have you believe I'm a level-headed cheerleader. This is a good lesson in considering your sources, especially on the internet, kids.

In other news, I love JC's hair without reservation, I'm doped to the gills on non-quoted real OTP fodder from this weekend, and dammit, I still want my girls back. Hope you all had safe, uneventful flights.

[ETA: So.many.pictures. Whee!]

Ooh, I didn't get to hear the stuff about checking in with a possessive boy, although it definitely doesn't surprise me. I'd be possessive too. The boy is damn beautiful.

Also, yay for JoLa! There was certainly enough of that to keep me happy for a long time. :)

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

Okay, wow. I'm going to have to remember to brace myself for that icon when I see your comments becaue whoa. So, so much pretty.

They'resomadeforeachother!

Ahem. Right, so shuffling onward. Rumor has it that Lance checked in with a "male friend" who apparently had his hand rather familiarly on the back of Lance's neck during the process. Hey, like you said, I'd have a hard time not putting my hands on him in even more intimate places all the time.

He's so beautiful! Sunny and dorky and Ilovehimsomuch! He's just wonderful in every single way.

AndsomuchJoLa! So, so much. Those two love each other just as much, if not more than ever. Pranks! Can't you just see Lance breaking into Joey's room, writing all over his sheets, then hanging it out to billow on his balcony? Lovehim!

Wow, it's like I forgot the space bar on my keyboard works just fine somewhere up there. *g* But eee!

[nothinggold.livejournal.com]

Heh. Who needs space bars when the JoLa are involved? Not me!

And I have to agree with you in that no one should really be surprised at this point about Lance and pretty boys. Shouldn't we just be happy for him? I'd be happier if it were me with my hand on his neck but if it's not me, it might as well be someone who makes him happy. Now if I could just see him with the pretty boy... ;)

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

Yes! I'm all for being happy for what makes the boys happy! Seriously, after Wednesday night, and I've never been a Justin girl (usually #4 but never higher than #3 on my "list") and I was ready to hand over nuclear warheads if they made him smile. No, really.

I'd be happier if it were me with my hand on his neck but if it's not me, it might as well be someone who makes him happy.

What you said.

Now if I could just see him with the pretty boy... ;)

From your lips to the paparazzi's ears. Not really because I don't hold with the 'stalk the celebrity' institution, but as guilty as it makes me feel I do want it maybe just a little, ya know? I wonder how they've kept it out of the press for this long (if it's not a new thing, of course, but really, who are we kidding?) I could just see Lance's filing cabinet of dirt on each and every one of them, or failing that, the phone numbers of their employers and not being afraid to call in any sort of favors/thinly-veiled threats/etc. to keep them from being published. Heh.

[tavellafic.livejournal.com]

Details, dammit. I've heard mumbles about the checking in with a guy thing, but I want details :)

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

Aiee, I know! Totally jonesing for something more concrete than a single eyewitness talking about his checking in with a boy whose hand was on the back of his neck at the time. Of course, some part of me laments finally having "confirmation" and I hold out hope for darling little Basses in the future, but dude, this is the closest we've gotten and I wanna know.

I'll stop being thirteen now. Middle school habits die hard.

[without-me.livejournal.com]

How about a safe, eventful flight? Because really, I'm not complaining.

Still. In. Shock.

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

See now, that's the kind of 'eventful' I can get behind. As it were. (Man that boy reduces me to bad puns without even trying. Funny thing - I totally knew someone was going to run into him specifically on one of the flights home. Have I mentioned how glad I am that it was you? Yay!)

I so need my 'All You Need Is Lance' icon back in (quite possibly good and permanent) rotation. One month out of the year simply won't do.

[without-me.livejournal.com]

I still can't believe I ran into anybody, much less my holy grail. And in a situation where I got not one, but two chances to talk to him! With a nice long time to think in between! I'm thanking all the deities I don't believe in, that's for damn sure.

And "All You Need Is Lance" is not a month. It's a way of life.

Remember that song that we all knew but couldn't place on Monday? "I'll Remember" by Madonna is from the _With Honors_ soundtrack from 1994. And was one of the most vastly overplayed songs at the time, hence why it was so etched in all of our impressionable minds from then. I feel a sense of closure now :-)

[gjstruthseeker.livejournal.com]

Hm. I've never actually seen the entire film, just the last scene a few times here and there. I guess I just know it from all the easy rock we listened to in my mother's car. *shrug* Impressionability indeed. Damn subliminal manipulation. :)
