Homeless Fangirl - It is the Latest Craze

So I am supposed to be working, but I spent my lunch hour looking at places and now I have an appointment to see this one place and if all goes well, I'll just write a check then and there and that will be taken care of. Cause limbo kills, man. It just kills.

If I said I would be around last night, then I lied. Sorry - I was tired and I fell asleep watching "Pitch Black" on Sci-Fi and reading "Kingdom Come" cause, dude - Old Superman. Kinda hot. Wonder Woman? Always hot. I am considering alternating the comic book store with the used CD store in My Shopping Stops...but I remember this slippery slope. Sure, right now I am pretty much sticking to the trade paperbacks, but how long do I seriously think I could keep that up? I mean, I've already caved in the face of Joss Whedon writing "The Astonishing X-Men." I do not need that kinda pain. I've already let go of any desire to ever see another WIP finished - it took time and meditation and now I am at peace. This feels like another pot-o-angst I should avoid.

So, I need a place to live and once I have that, then I can deal with the business of moving my belongings from one place to the other.

I just called the Salvation Army to have them pickup the sectional sofa. Officially - and soon - I shall be couchless.

My state of being couched (or sofa'd I suppose) will directly depend on how much I will have to pay the movers to come and move my stuff. I don't have that much actual furniture they will need to move - 2 rooms tops, but the shit is old and heavy and hell if I can even carry the freakin' TV down the stairs.

Okay - so I need the place and then I need a date and then I need to schedule the dudes. Then I need to call the cable people and tell them what is up with what and hopefully I won't be offline too long. And take care of transfering the Utilities. I am still hesitant about getting a phone. I piss everyone off when I forget to charge my cell or leave it in the car, but man. I hate the freaking phone so much.

I am forgetting something. I am totally forgetting something. Something huge.

Last night I dreamed my grandmother yelled at me for never going to see the dead people at the cemetary with them. Since my grandmother has not yelled at me since I was seven years old, I assume the issues in the dream are all mine. Why couldn't *this* be the thing I forget? Crap.

Okay, not panicking but I need a place and I need it soon. I should probably at least read a file right now. Do something.

Anything other than read Lex and Clark "Pretty Woman" fic. Oh God. Someone stop me. For the love of all that is good and holy stop me. Somebody SAAAAAAVVVVEE Meeeee.

Gah. I was where you are a month and a half ago. I'd like to promise it gets better, but I'd be lying.

Are you unpacked? Cause I am not able to face the fact that after I actually find a place - then there will be packing.

Why do I have so much *crap*??

*Mostly* unpacked. Sorta. I'd say we have 10 boxes to go. It's not terrible. Of course, there are still curtains to buy and hang, one of my least favorite pastimes.

Why do I have so much *crap*??

I can't possibly answer that. Maybe look upon the move as an opportunity to get rid of some of it?

Yeah, right.

Don't forget changing the mailing address on all your magazines and credit card bills and what-not.

**laughs evilly**

Oh god, I did forget.

ACK!!!

Boy, can I relate to the apartment-needing limbo. Here's wishing you excellent housing karma, and a troupe of sexy, sweaty, burly men who charge you a mere pittance to move your things.

that seems somehow much worse & just more wrong than Brian & Justin pretty woman fic.

I wish you good luck for your couch-lessness & in finding a new place! *crosses fingers*

It *is* waaaaaay worse Vi - cause - dude. Clark. Clark is no Justin and I just can't buy him selling that ass. As much as I want to buy it...;)

Well - now - if he was a Red-Kryptonite induced 'ho, then I would not only buy it, I would build it a house with a picket fence and a two-car garage.

I still think that Chloe is convinced that is how he had all of that money in Metropolis. And really, who is to say it isn't? We know there were a coupla bank robberies and ATM busts - but we only saw a tiny portion of his summer activities. I like to think Clark went gang-busters on the Metropolis Nightlife.

But sweet, non-red Clark turning to the oldest profession to raise quick cash...it just does not compute. The boy just ain't got the hustle.

Then there is the whole Lex problem...do I have a hard time believing he'd pay for a rent-boy? Nope. Lex is pretty much Brian in this scenario. Do I believe he would *ever* trust or care about said "employee"? Hell no - much like Brian.

Yeah-it's a stretch and a big ole' AU thing for Brian & Justin... but at least there is the fall-back of Brian 'ordering' boys and paying on at least one occassion for a hustler to set up Brian as a person who would use the services of a hustler.

Lex? nope- don't see anything (that I know of) from canon to set up Lex as the kind of guy who would pay for the services of a hustler or prostitute- male or female. And Clark?? yeah- even if his powers were stripped (hmmmmm, Clark stripped....) don't see him as contender to turn to hustling his ass for money.

Now- the QAF sub-genre of Justin as cat burglar could translate well to Smallville with Clark the cat burglar who only robs from the rich & mean...

Lex? nope- don't see anything (that I know of) from canon to set up Lex as the kind of guy who would pay for the services of a hustler or prostitute- male or female.

Oh, I can totally see it, if only as a way to ensure that he is able to keep sex apart from just sex - the easiest way to ensure that is to treat it as just a business transaction. So, it won't take much for me to buy Soliciting!Lex - I just doubt he would be obvious or dangerous about it. He'd call a service and turn in his order - much like Brian.

Now- the QAF sub-genre of Justin as cat burglar...

Oh no. Just say it isn't so. Please. What The Fuck??? Seriously?

Oh no. Just say it isn't so. Please. What The Fuck??? Seriously?

lol! If you are in need of a giggle- I think I might have the link in my journal or could find it-- but yes- after getting cut-off from his Dad & without tuition Justin (who never met Brian) gets sent by Daphne to NYC for the summer after H.S. to live with a cousin- work at Aunt's restaurant & earn money- the cousin ends up 'training' Justin in on cat burglary and Justin finds a 'mentor' in a art lover/fence. Justin also gets 'adopted' by the predominantly Black neighborhood and given the 'street name' of JPO- before returning to the Pitts to start PIFA. He meets Brian, and can't stop himself from temptation of 'stealing' from such men as Stockwell. It's a WIP.

He'd call a service and turn in his order - much like Brian

Ok- I could buy that logic to justify it in a fic- but going beyond that is stretch for me in part because there's not a canon-moment of Lex utilizing call girls, hustler boys or a service to take care of his sexual needs

Justin also gets 'adopted' by the predominantly Black neighborhood and given the 'street name' of JPO

Oh. My. God. Just... Oh. My. God.

Dude - I am more street than Justin.

Yeah, but so much of slash is going beyond the canon and extrapolating (hee) so this really is not a stretch given what we know about his character and background. Especially since SV is unlikely to let this happen on the show - I just go with the ole "there is a ton of shit happening off-screen that you never see." I mean, let's face it: we never actually see Lex jerking off in the Clark room - but we all know that is what it was there for. Well, Lex did acknowledge the room was not about Clark - but was about Lex - I guess we can go with the unspoken in that situation.

Oh. My. God. Just... Oh. My. God.

Dude - I am more street than Justin.

heeheee! Even with his journey into street vigilante-ism this season- yeah, not so much with the street cred. (btw-JPO stands for Just Plain Ole as in "I'm just plain ole Justin")

And something 'wrong' with Justin driving a nicer, sportier, more expensive car than Brian.

I mean, let's face it: we never actually see Lex jerking off in the Clark room - but we all know that is what it was there for.

But *that* was all but blatant canon, lol.

Ok- so are you saying it's only the Clark as Julia-Roberts-like-street-walker that you don't 'buy' in a Clex-Pretty Woman fic?? while you could 'buy' a porsche driving Lex ending up stopping to ask for directions only to end up 'paying' for the services of the hustler he lets direct him back to his hotel???

Well - it doesn't exactly start out like the movie - but yeah - Clark is out hustling and gets caught up near Lex (where there is an instant attraction/connection -excuse me while I hurl) and he ends up saving Lex's life and Lex is intrigued and we go from there. BTW - Clark in this fic - a virgin. Of course. Who must sell his ass to Save the Farm!!

Sigh.

But yeah - I didn't think Lex was out of character at all - at least not at first, in entering into the agreement. I thought it was OOC for him to end up falling so easily for Clark - in these circumstances. Like the whole hustler!justin epic -- it was an interesting concept that just did not work for me in execution. I would have enjoyed it more -or at least it would have felt more real to me - with a darker Lex and also Clark.

So you have Red!Clark out to make a few bucks or just seizing an opportunity and Lex using cash as a deterant to emotional involvement and where does the plot come in?? Cause really - it is just PWP when they meet and then they go their separate ways and I take it back about enjoying it more with a darker examination.

Sigh.

This is why Pretty Woman fic just does not work. Hell, this is why the freaking movie does not work.

The only viable element to be gleaned is: Shopping is fun when there is no limit to purchases and When one partner saves the other, the other needs to save him right back. Cause that is sweet. It also works for almost any and all pairing barring Krycek.

...takes position at the front of a long Airplane-like line of nuns, nurses, stewardpersons, gay vampires, men in tights, men with bandoleers, men in black hats, men wearing spurs and nothing else...and one guy in a kilt with a bagpipe...all of us waiting to slap Sis out of the panicking state.

Hope this helps...

Rae
who is also looking down the barrel of a move...eek!

Come move in with us! Life would be so much more fun. And I just mailed you something -- hope it gets there!

I just got your email - and yes I am here thru the end of the month and what did you mail??

And you changed your AIM id - I need to catch up.
