fearlessfanIt's Yuletide time again! I've been debating internally over whether to do the challenge again this year (last year was my first time), and as a result had the following conversation:
Self: Well, I was thinking, I really enjoyed the Yuletide challenge last year, so -
Friend: Wait, what?
Self: I was just saying that I enjoyed doing the Yuletide challenge last year.
Friend: No, you didn't!
Self: I didn't?
Friend: No! You were totally stressed out! You spent most of our conversations last fall complaining about having signed up in the first place!
Self: I did?
(Cue wavy-lined flashback featuring me sitting amidst piles of Diet Pepsi cans, staring bleakly at the computer screen, until finally I open a compose mail window instead of MS Word and write an endless e-mail along the lines of of,
Friend,
How am I supposed to write about Lassiter when CLEARLY Shawn and Gus are the funniest things on the show? DAMN YOU, Self of six weeks ago, for clicking "Any Character" on the Psych pull-down menu when signing up for the challenge! DAMN YOU!
Also, how are you?
-Jess)
Friend: Remember?
Self: Yeah. Yeah, I do.
And yet. AND YET. I find myself still tempted to take part! I think most of this is because I'm still dying to read a story about Cowboy Lowell and Sun Fu from Broken Trail, whose relationship high point is featured about halfway through this trailer (said high point is, rather pathetically, her reaching up to touch his cheek). Okay, there may have been two other moments as or more exciting, but nothing fully satisfying! And I still so long for their story!
