LUNCH!

.... just got around to reading my work email.

And. omfg!!!!!

I can WEAR HEADPHONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude. I can have music. I can dance, I can sing, I can feel less fucking bored!!!!!!!

I just... have to remember not to sing along.

Really.

Anytime you've seen me post from work with music? Is because my head is a scary place.

Liz! Remember, the less trauma Sam has (ie, no more dead boys), the better Jack's chance of seeing her NAKED....

And there's been a lot of Pete dies fic, I think. You just have to look for it (lots of Pete the skank, too)

*has better things to do, like have Sam arrested for RepliCarter killing Pete*

Ps. If you become a scary shipper, I may have to cast you aside and pretend I never knew you.

Pointlessly: a semi-serious review and application of Tiffany's second album onto SG-1 and all its pairings:

'All This Time' - 'I knew someday you'd need to find, something that you left behind, something I can't give you' This can be applied many ways. To Sam and Pete, to Sam and Jack, to Jack and Daniel. I particularly like the line 'but hearts are good for souvenirs and memories are forever', because it underscores that this is something that is hard to do. But it has to be done. Possibly applies directly to Sam, who seems to have made a career of collecting hearts that don't belong to her.

'Jackie' - 'Oh, Jackie, say it isn't true, tell me that I'm not just someone you outgrew' - Daniel to Jack. 'Is this the way love is, is this the way it happens? Do all those feelings simply fade away...' etc, etc. Totally Daniel mid-third season trying to find out why Jack has stopped being there for him. 'it's hard for me to understand, Jackie, I thought that I was your best friend...' And, the opening, 'somewhere down the road tonight, a radio is playin' and every song's remindin' me of you...'

'Hold an old friend's Hand' - I seriously adore this song, from the opening line: 'Another year and I'm still here, the grass just will not grow, on this old hill, still I just can't let it go...' Because It's Coconut Island Sam. This is her mindset: everything's screwed, and so she's running off. 'Oh, babe, honey, everybody makes mistakes -- don't you think by now I know that?' is said to Jack, because Jack is calling her on it all. 'with you I've been down on the ground and up again, nobody knows -- won't you whisper my name again -- how everything changes'

'Drop That Bomb' - The high school version of "Sam, you idiot, get it out of the room, because he's never going to make the first move!" The assumption being 'you just might wait forever if you wait for him'. Again, it's very high school, living in the moment because tomorrow you may die. 'Drop that bomb, whoa, yeah! How else is he ever gonna know?' makes it clear that she has to make that first move, because he's hurt and scarred and she has to take her courage and hand reach out for that one in a million chance... 'don't look now, but guess who's makin' crazy eyes at you. He wants to win your heart somehow, but I don't think that boy knows what to do'

'Thinking of Her' - This one speaks to the OT3. Jack and Daniel, are 'both thinking of her tonight'. Although this is definitely more from Daniel's side, because it's much more open and emotional. 'What's she got that I ain't got -- she's got you' says this is broken up OT3, with Daniel wishing it wasn't. 'ain't it funny, me and her we're best friends?'

'Walk Away While You Can' - Why HS!Sam and Adult!Jack would never work - it's advice from people telling a young girl to give up her older boyfriend, because he's too old, and he'll leave her when he gets bored. 'It feels so right when we're together, boy, but I don't wanna be used' is completely Sam at about 15. Of course, when Sam is 15, Jack is... 31. So, perhaps those people aren't all that wrong about him using her for the sex. Of note is the one chorus which turns it around, 'I better walk away while I can, 'cause my heart's in control, and I don't understand.'

'Lover Not The Love' - can be applied a lot of places. I think it rather fits Teal'c after he discovers Drey'auc has married another man. 'it's the lover not the love who broke your heart last night' the song says. Basically, don't give up on love, don't close yourself off from it. It's her, not you. 'if you listen to your heart'

'Radio Romance' - Daniel to Jack. 'I see you, baby, every single day. Holdin' on to my best friend, but you don't see me' Again, Daniel is stuck watching Jack fawn over Sam, and it hurts, because, well it does. Is it easier to make Daniel the woman in this? Hell, yeah. That doesn't negate the fact that this is a song about yearning for what you can't have. 'I wonder if you're listening to the words that keep me wishing that one day I'll be kissing you' the singer croons. Because Daniel is still hopeful. Even after all this time.

so fekkin bored, omfg, yay for lyssie posting!

:high fives music at work!: Has made this week far more tolerable, omfg.

Okay. In RL, Pete will not die. Just be tossed aside. Okay. I just...Gah.
" Remember, the less trauma Sam has (ie, no more dead boys), the better Jack's chance of seeing her NAKED...." (:laughs and laughs:)

I just don't wanna look for fic. It's never good if I look for it. :whines like a two year old:

Actually, now I want Fifth to kill Pete over RC. Long after Sam has lost touch with him, etc, so it doesn't really affect her other than "oh, Pete died in the line of duty. :sad:" Kay?

ps. What's the definition of a scary shipper...? :is scared of being cast aside, omfg! :clings::

*giggles at your song + ships*

I've been listening to Love's Divine by Seal a bit too much. It's creating all kinds of sappy fluff + alien liquor fic in my brain. "Love can help me know my name" - oooh. Or Thera/Jonah fic. Crap. that needs to be on the list...

is still worried about this scary shipper thing....

scary shipper = the ones who are all "ohmigod he's so round and duck-like and he must die so Sam can be with her True Luv Jack (and Jack Must Make The First Move)" and if that doesn't happen My Love For Stargate Will Die and I Will Never Watch It Again. Ever.

....so, really, you don't qualify.

music... yesss. *now has Seal's 'Crazy' going through her head*

You're right. A lot of the OhmigodPete'sDead! fics are bad. I will... have to poke at them, see if I can't rec something semi-decent.

*clings back*

Dude. There is lots of T/J fic out there. Poke at A.j.'s ficrecbitch deadjournal. Hrm...

...Then good. I am sooo not a scary shipper via that definition at all. Jara just bit me last night for the whole Shep/Sam thing (:licksjara!:). I'd be all full of squee if Sam did stuff with Martouf, Fifth, etc etc etc. I just have an aversion to Pete as a Mary Sue Stalker Who Cannot Offer Her Conversation. I like them off world menz, damnit.

And Carter has to make the first move. DUH.

And, as a comm major and tv fiend and analytical BITCH, there is no way that Stargate will end with her hitched to Pete. It's either going to have a "yay team!" ending (which it will, regardless) or a "let's go fishing" ending cuz... I mean, fuck, Moonlighting and X-Files ended that way. Didn't Lois and Clark end that way?

But even if it didn't, I'd live happily in my private AU. It's how I've gotten over X-Files, fuckit.

Gah..

So yes. I don't qualify. :MAKES FACE AND WILL INTENTIONALLY WRITE SAM/OTHER NEXT:

Seal's music is the Voice Of The Divine, goddamnit. :lovestheman:

Yeah, I guess I don't want a Petedead fic. I was angsting. :shame:

*CLINGS!!!*

T/J is nice. I think I'm going to put it in one of the fics on my massive list...

Actually, the sad thing was that I knew exactly where it was, it was just the fact of getting up and going downstairs to get it. Time to take the walkman to work tonight. (Can't listen while I work, but I can tune out the idiots in the breakroom.) :-)
