I'm thinking I will soon need a new power cord--it seems like I can't shift my computer an inch without the damn thing deciding it can't feel the cord.

Dear Apple,

Why are replacement power cords $79? Seriously? Almost eighty dollars for a cable? Hmph. I'm probably going to have to pay it, since I might go insane without my computer, but I think that's a bit excessive.

No love,
me.

Here's the OTP meme, gacked from...so many people. :p Let's see if I can actually think of 15 OTPs and ways to describe them that aren't too obvious or too obscure...

Pick up to 15 OTPs.
Describe them in 15 words or fewer.
Have your flist guess the OTP.

1. At first she wanted to kill him, then she defied her last command. (Luke/Mara, Star Wars, guessed by thistlerose)
2. He flew across the ocean to be with her in the middle of an international crisis. (Josh/Donna, The West Wing, guessed by tsukara)
3. She's his one in five billion. (Mulder/Scully, X-Files, guessed by arabian)
4. He has turned the world upside down and he's done it all for her. (Jareth/Sarah, Labyrinth, guessed by tsukara, and ariastar)
5. No more will she delight only in songs of war. (Faramir/Eowyn, Lord of the Rings, guessed by thistlerose and gehayi)

9. Building the Republic of Heaven right where they are. (Will/Lyra, His Dark Materials, guessed by polaris_starz, thistlerose, ariastar, and gehayi)
10. "Placetne, magistra?" "Placet." (Peter/Harriet, Lord Peter Wimsey, guessed by thistlerose and gehayi)
11. Death cannot stop true love, only delay it for a little while. (Westley/Buttercup, The Princess Bride, guessed by tsukara, thistlerose, ariastar, and gehayi)
12. He thinks of her blazing look right before sacrificing himself. (Harry/Ginny, Harry Potter, guessed by thistlerose and gehayi)
13. A former assassin who finds home with a naive but generous girl. (Kenshin/Kaoru, Rurouni Kenshin, guessed by canis_m)
14. Dear Joss Whedon: happy couples are not necessarily boring. (Wash/Zoe, Firefly, guessed by tsukara and gehayi)
15. He was arrogant and she was biased. (Elizabeth/Darcy, Pride and Prejudice, guessed by canis_m and gehayi)

[rynne.livejournal.com]

Yes to all those. :)

[gehayi.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Er...please don't give me credit for #4. I didn't guess it.

[rynne.livejournal.com]

Hah, oops. I think I was pre-empting, since you did guess most of them. :p

[arabian.livejournal.com]

Aww, you like Luke/Mara!?!? I was briefly obsessed with them (and loved this fic about them called "Stuff.")

Anyhoo --

3. She's his one in five billion. (MULDER/SCULLY) Folie A Deux is one of my fave episodes.

[rynne.livejournal.com]

Oh, Stuff. That's probably one of the best known L/M fics ever. XD But yeah, I was into Star Wars for a couple years and they were my OTP. I wrote quite a bit about them, though most people on my flist weren't into them so I didn't post the fics here, mostly. If you have any interest, they are on my website, though. :p

And yay for Mulder/Scully! We shippers weren't often given that kind of ammo, but what we were given was always great. I like that quote better, but my other choice would have been: "I love you." "Oh, brother." XD
