[journal] Left to my own devices, I turn to photos

"I'm staying home 'cause I feel like shit. Forward my calls and email me the files on the Hobb's Place job." Not hard to understand, right? Just because I'm sick doesn't mean I'm incapable of talking on the phone, drawing up a proposal, or operating Photoshop.

Jelly? I'm gonna brain you with that damn banana. You know the one I'm talkin' about. Don't think I don't know you're mothering me.

Anyway, since I'm stranded at home with nothing else to do, I been poking around my hard drive all day. Found some old photos that, if nothing else, oughta entertain...


* * * * *



I think Soph was the first one I showed this to. Took it about a week after I got to Los Angeles. Coming from Vegas, I guess you could say that instead of fresh off the haywagon, I was fresh off the 'ho train.' I look like it, too...I like to call this my Chippendales headshot. Yeesh.



Jelly took this on her camera phone at the office last week and emailed it to me, hence the suck-ass quality. Ditching my shoes after a client meeting...yeah, Jell, did I mention the banana? You're so screwed.



This one was all on the Kellar twins. They snuck a camera in the night of my initiation and caught my act. It took place at this hole in the wall theater in Santa Monica, but dig the sculpture. Crappy shot, but it's a beautiful piece depicting the fall of Prometheus and Pandora. That's Prom behind me. I escaped from that straightjacket on my own, no use of my powers. Nearly killed myself learning it, too.



Me at The Rising Sun with a couple of Frat sibs, Brother Dog and Sister Hooker. Yes, her name was Hooker, at least according to her and Dog. Doglas Carter's a dude I met the night I initiated. Since then, he's helped me out of a few scrapes and we're getting along great. I think this pic was taken the day before I ended up in that stupid building that went down. Dog actually gave me the black eye I'm sporting there, but it was totally by accident. He took care of it later that night...he's a shaman, healing's part of his thing.

And Jell? Along with the banana, I'm enduring a little personal humiliation to show the world just what a freak you are.



That's right, Jelly tried to strip me bare...crazy bitch. ;) A little over a week ago, Ben snapped the shot (thank you, brother). Jell's on the right, the gal on the left is a college bud of ours, Trish Miller. Her, Jell, Ben and I all had the same Art History and European Lit class together.

Anyway, Jell and Trish were stupid-fucking-drunk and talking about some stupid Eighties exercise videos. I was talking card manipulation with Ben, so I had no clue. Long story short? Someone mentions Abs Of Steel, and next thing I know I got my jacket off and my shirt off while Jelly's poking me in the stomach and wondering if the three of them could bounce quarters off it. I wrestled both of them, wandering hands and all, for two blocks while Ben snapped pics and almost goaded them into pantsing me by mentioning the Buns Of Steel videos.

I'll get 'em on the computer eventually, but I swear I got a couple of shots of them going after Ben next. All's I had to do was mention the dimples in his ass and they were on him like flies on shit. Hey, I ain't proud, and I was more concerned with keeping my pants on.

So moral of the story? Never go out with a female Bruin that can't hold her liquor. Yes, Jell, I'm talkin' to you. At least Trish didn't try to do the Pillsbury thing with me.

Okay, that's it...and I almost feel a little bit better. Good vibes, I guess. Send me some good energy, folks. I could use it.

Think I might go nap pretty soon.

*small smile, but sobers at her question*

I'd...rather not say right now. I don't want you to worry.

*grows quiet*

You're scaring me.

[identity profile] magic-fratboy.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm fine. I promise, it's okay.

[identity profile] possessingbadge.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
*Crosses her arms and looks helpless and pretty annoyed about that* Fine. You get 2 days. Two. If you aren't getting better or at the very least telling me what's going on, I'm going to harass the whole damn fraternity until someone does. Starting with Benji.

[identity profile] magic-fratboy.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
*small smile* For two cents, babe, Benji would probably be on his hands and knees begging for that, just to get a laugh.

*scoffs softly* I bet he would.

In the meantime, is there anything I can do without being the trusted inner sanctum? Is this another Tinkerbell thing like if I throw a shit ton of hope your way and believe in you and junk, you'll get better faster? Or should I just look around for chicken soup recipes?

[identity profile] magic-fratboy.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, if you're anywhere in the area you could come around and amuse me so I don't gotta do any more stupid posts or memes. *grin*

There's nothing anyone can do, not really, babe. Sucks, but it's how it is.

[identity profile] possessingbadge.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm still in the area. And Bee's supposed to be coming here to visit. She's bringing the boyfriend too. If you're feeling better maybe you'll get to see her.

Oh hey, I didn't tell you. I've been talking to the Santa Barbara Police Department about transfer. I was still on the fence about it because it's a pretty big move and I own a house but I sold my house the other night. Got almost double what I paid for it. So once I can get the paperwork in order, I'm gonna be a California girl. God, help us. *chuckles softly*

[identity profile] magic-fratboy.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
You're moving out here? Baby, that's great! Santa Barbara's a day trip from me, we can see each other all the time!

*sighs and smiles*

Wanna know something?

[identity profile] possessingbadge.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
*Smiles* I would love to know something.

[identity profile] magic-fratboy.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I think you honestly helped, and I'm not just saying that to make you feel better. I feel...a little better.

[identity profile] possessingbadge.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
*smile grows* Alright Tinkerbell, you want some more good news? When I move here, I'll be up for detective review in 2 months opposed to 2 years in New York. Aryn and Remy loved you. And today's your lucky day because I'm a pretty decent cook and I'm coming over and feeding you.

[identity profile] magic-fratboy.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
That's great news, seriously. Just watch, you'll be owning the department in no time. And I'm really glad your friends like me. It means a lot.

*grins* Lucky for you I ain't queasy...but you seriously don't have to cook for me. Just come over, hang out, that's all I'm asking.

[identity profile] possessingbadge.livejournal.com 2008-08-16 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Boy, there's a scary thought. *laughs* Don't start spreading that around or they may reconsider hiring me. And of course they like you. You're a likable guy. Besides, I'm sorta crazy about you and you treat me well. Nothing not to like.

Hush you. It's decided. I was even thinking of trying my hand at Greek food since I know you like it so much but it would probably be disappointing since your mom has to be like rock awesome at it. So I think I'm going to stick to comfort food instead. Chicken or beef?

[identity profile] magic-fratboy.livejournal.com 2008-08-17 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
*smiles shyly and shrugs*

Nothing special about how I treat you. You're my girl, that's how I treat you.

As for food...surprise me. I'm not picky at all.

[identity profile] possessingbadge.livejournal.com 2008-08-17 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
*laughs a bit* Man, you really need to talk to my exes. I don't think they got the memo.

Surprises it is. You allergic to anything?
