[internet cafe] I'm resisting the italics of sarcasm

[Filtered to Friends]

Tosh had an idea when I came in this morning: I should take some vocabulary and maths aptitude tests now, and again after I change back, to test if male brains and female brains work differently. And I get the sense that's just the beginning of the tests she'd like to run on me.

. . . I want to hide down in the archives for a bit. I mean, I'll do them, but I'm not wild about feeling like a lab monkey. I'm still me, dammit.

That's all well and good, but give us an inch and we'll take a mile. Just ask Sam. You have been warned...!

[Private to Ianto]

Thank you. I try not to do it too often, but I'm really... very displeased about this prospect.

I try~

...CoffeeMan?

As long as you two don't start cybering in my journal I think I'll be fine. That would just weird me out a little too much, as much as I adore you both.

[Private to Near]
*cuddles in advance*

Oh god. I'm such a girl right now.

CofeeMan? That's the best you can do?

[identity profile] legofortress.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
We'll try to bear that in mind. :D

[Private to Ianto]

...Yes, yes you are. But I am apparently in no position to mock, especially considering that when this is over, you won't be a girl anymore, but I'll still still be pouting about spending three or four days on my own. I don't think you need to worry.

I was trying keep in the same vein as 'teaboy', actually, but maybe I should just have gone for 'teagirl' instead~

[identity profile] morethanteaboy.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
...oddly enough, I'm more comfortable with the thought of you two having sex in my flat than in my journal. *shakes head* I suppose at my flat I can at least buy earplugs.

[Private to Near]

TEAGIRL. I'M GETTING MY BEATING STICK FOR THAT.

[identity profile] legofortress.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
You could always skim your comment notifications...? :D (Don't worry, we won't. We haven't even had sex in our own journals. Well... not really.)

[Private to Ianto]

But Ianto, it's endearing~! Bet you wished you'd let me stick with CoffeeMan now...!

[identity profile] morethanteaboy.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Or live vacariously . . . *whistles*

[Private to Near]
Hrmph. My own words coming back to haunt me.

[identity profile] legofortress.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
...Pervert. I'm telling~!

[Private to Ianto]

I've noticed that they have an unfortunate habit of doing that, generally... Not just you. It's a pain, isn't it?

[identity profile] morethanteaboy.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Whom would you tell? I think Matt doesn't care and neither does anyone else of our mutual acquaintance.

And I would deny everything. I do innocent very well.

[Private to Near]
They do, damn them.

[identity profile] legofortress.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Public comments can't be denied, I'm afraid~

...You may have a point on the telling, though. Damn it.

[Private to Ianto]

This is why I used to refrain from speaking to people about anything other than work...

[identity profile] morethanteaboy.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, fine.


I still say I do innocent well enough to cover my arse in any such situation.

[identity profile] legofortress.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
...You sound less innocent when you start talking about that, you know~

[identity profile] legofortress.livejournal.com 2007-05-23 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
...You do look pretty innocent, I have to give you that...

[identity profile] legofortress.livejournal.com 2007-05-24 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
Hard evidence still trumps puppy dog eyes and a halo aura, though~

[identity profile] morethanteaboy.livejournal.com 2007-05-24 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
<-- isn't this hard enough for you?

...no double entendre intended. Really.

[identity profile] legofortress.livejournal.com 2007-05-24 09:21 am (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately for you, my job requires that I be steely-hearted to all feigned expressions of innocence. Except Matt's.

It's a very good face though, and I'm sure anyone without my years of training would find "it" very hard indeed~

[identity profile] morethanteaboy.livejournal.com 2007-05-24 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I laugh at your training in the presence of my babyfaced innocence. There's a reason the girls thought they had to protect me while I was a girl--I look like I need it.

[identity profile] legofortress.livejournal.com 2007-05-24 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
But firstly, you're not a girl any longer, and secondly... I think you underestimate the hardness of my heart. Besides, your baby-faced innocence has nothing on mine. I'm younger, and smaller, and as we've already established, I'm quite useless at being anything other than innocent... So I have that in addition to my evidence.

I'm afraid this is one fight you're not going to win...

[identity profile] morethanteaboy.livejournal.com 2007-05-24 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Damn. I'd rather hoped your heart was squishy and malleable.

Youth will only get you so far.

[identity profile] legofortress.livejournal.com 2007-05-24 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Stone and ice, I'm afraid. I'm a biological curiosity. :D

I've also got big eyes, white hair, and I'm not above pouting.

[identity profile] morethanteaboy.livejournal.com 2007-05-24 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Does it hurt, the stone and ice?

[identity profile] legofortress.livejournal.com 2007-05-24 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Not really; I'm quite accustomed to it by now.

And I think it helps my sense of balance.

...I do get awfully chilly in the winter, though.

[identity profile] morethanteaboy.livejournal.com 2007-05-25 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
I imagine it would, you being cold-blooded and all.

[identity profile] legofortress.livejournal.com 2007-05-25 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed. There's underfloor heating in the new house, though, so I'm sure I'll be fine this winter. I can just stretch out on the tiles like a lizard~
