The little devil on your shoulder

I am very much looking forward to geeking out with you next week. :)

From:

eee! So exciting. Locking the cats out of your room as well, so it won't smell like strange animals when you get there.

From:

Hee! I'm betting Lloyd will want to be friends with everyone, and Sophie will act all traumatized and antisocial. *g* I get to meet Henry and your kitties!

From:

Hahaha. Phoebe (the older gal) is a bit of a witch-with-a-b. The other two play pretty well with strangers.

From:

The woman whose house I'm going to be sharing has three cats of her own. I think Lloyd will probably be okay if hers aren't too territorial, but I worry about my little antisocial princess. She'll either become completely unhinged or try to take over like she did at my mom's house.

AAA tells me it's only 8 hours and 40 minutes from Madison to where you live, so I'm going to try to make the drive all in one day. Maybe if it's not too late when I get in, we can get dinner and geek around!

From:

In several roomate-situations, I've found the best thing is to make sure the antisocial cat has lots of high, safe hiding places: empty shelves, top of bookshelves and dressers, etc. You can even put in an enclosure from the window.

From:

She's spent almost the entire day hiding in the cabinet under the television. *facepalm* I occasionally hear the clink of her tag against the wood as she shifts position. Silly purr.

From:

PS. Do your cats prefer pine litter or clay?

And do you think it's better to roll up the rug in the guest room or leave it down?

From:

Pine. I actually have a couple of bags with me. :)

Hmm, the rug is your call. They shed, but they'll probably be more quiet with the rug.

From:

Yay, four fics in progress! You should tell me about them. ;)

From:

eee!! I want to show you them! (because that would mean they are done.)

The first you've seen. Totally stalled. :(

The Hank/Alex is plugging along, getting longer and longer.

The others aren't even that far along. But one of them tentatively involves Alex and a cage.

From:

\o/

(Not about the being stalled, but about the plugging along.)

From:

and the cage. ;)

From:

That too! :D

(THIS FANDOM. I an >:( at this fandom right now because I don't write fanfic anymore! I have other things to write! Except for now I am thinking about how I want to write all about how XMFC-verse Charlies Xavier and Emma Frost become unlikely and obnoxiously smug telepathic BFFs and have gossipy conversations without saying a word out loud and everybody they know on both sides of the ~ideological divide~ is like, "Holy shit the two of them in the same room is so much scarier than going to war with humans what the fuck," and they don't actually take over the whole world together because that would be gauche, but they could.)

From:

hAHAHAA. One of the files open right now may or may not be XMFC do Casablanca with Charles as Rick and Emma as Renault. :D

From:

Ahhhhhhh, oh man, that sounds amazing. ♥________♥

(I saw a prompt on one of the memes about how if parents found out their child was hearing voices in his head and it wasn't a game, obviously their response would be to assume he was completely crazy, not telepathic, and then I thought, well, how much would it suck to be a telepathic child in a mental hospital, and then I thought, well, obviously the only person to chat about that with would be another telepath, so I spent too much time last night reading about psychiatric hospitals in the 1940s and '50s (SCARY) and wrote 1400 words. /o\)

From:

Hahaa!! That's BRILLIANT and also a little tragic. Unless said telepath could already manipulate people's decisions--or learn to rather quickly. I fully support it. :D

From:

I was going to try to finish it tonight, only now that runaway train movie with Denzel and Captain Kirk is on, so I'm a bit distracted. OMG RUNAWAY TRAIN NOTHING CAN STOP IT.

From:

yay Pittsburgh! (Gotta save the city. Although the population is way smaller than they claim.)

From:

I thought they were worried about Stanton? I missed the beginning of the movie, so I'm not sure which cities they raced through. Although it's on again now - yes, I have been sitting in front of the TV all this time, but I've been writing! fanfiction things! Emma and Charles have finally met in person! - so I guess I'll find out.
