Ps - You didn't let him take pictures, did you? Yes, I read that. You actually didn't let him, right? Right?!?

Morning Cain,
That's… a really good point. He's been seeing Samson regularly still but Tai Chi can't hurt in the least and I'm looking into local classes anyway this week. Thanks for the head's up, Cain. A lot.
And didn't I tell you he was good at poker? Oops. Must have slipped my mind. I've already been presented with the loot and it's a good thing I like pretzels. (Remember when I told you not to bet jujubes? Heh.)

Thank you for taking care of Miles along with the others - I hope no one let him get on a sugar high?
There are things I need to take care of today, but how about tomorrow? Been ages since I've been down to the barn and a ride sounds like a wonderful idea. We can talk about what happened with Paige then, too...

Shopping! Trip!
Haroun has managed to talk himself into a full on shopping experience, and of course there's no way that can be done properly without you along. May I suggest you bring Alex along (more pack animals, glee!) and we give them the grand tour of All Thing That Can Be Bought? While terrorizing everyone around us, of course.
Welcome back, roomie. I missed you.
Alison
Ps - That's if I survive today. More on that later.

I'd like to talk to you both about something that's been trotting in my mind for a while. Let me know when is good?
Alison
Ps - Thank you for helping take care of Miles yesterday. I appreciate it very much.

Date: 2004-10-13 04:20 am (UTC)Really? You'd do the whole "woe is me" post thing? Cause... I'd love to see you do that. They'd never now what HIT them! I'm all eager and anticipating now.
Alison
PS: Eh. It was only fair - I can't complain, had it done to someone else. And the sleep was nice.
Gngn. I'm plotting a prank. Yep.
Subject: *pouts and faints from waffle deprivation*
Date: 2004-10-13 04:40 am (UTC)Now you've tempting me. Oh, how you are tempting me. I'll have to wait a day or two, though, otherwise Moira and Cecilia will be convinced I've gone insane and I'll wake up in medlab with the nice comfy straightjacket on. Probably with a cartoon moustache and goatee drawn on my face in purple lipstick. Can't clump my mad gestures too close together, you know...
But it shall happen. Soon. Maybe waffles could be a reward? *looks hopeful*
Maddie.
PS: Prank? Do tell, O Most Evil Of Devil Women...
Subject: *leaves onna floor to get stepped on*
Date: 2004-10-13 05:06 am (UTC)Tell them what you're up to? That way they can join in on the fun - only make sure it's not an insane fighting with each other post, that's been done recently. *cough*Moi*cough*
Hrm. I'll have to think about. Maybe. May even add chocolate. If I'm impressed.
I'm hard to impress, you know.
Alison
ps - Mmmmmno. May show you the tapes though. If you're really nice to me. Which reminds me. I owe you one, don't I, for that picture stunt?
Subject: *wastes away with much dramatic moaning ouside your door*
Date: 2004-10-13 05:54 am (UTC)You might have something there. Recruitment shall be done during shift change tonight. Apparently I need to get a normal social life. That way I wouldn't feel as guilty for dragging Moira away from Nathan and take all the night shifts. Did I mention I wish Hank was back? This is seriously killing me. And with Cece looking likely to move out this weekend... Gah again. But yes, I think I can do dramatic whining. See, I'm already practicing the whining part... ;)
And my patheticness doesn't get me even a morsel of waffle?
Maddie.
Nope, no owing of revenge here. It wasn't my fault I was busy cleaning instruments when Haroun snuck in with his camera...
Subject: *ew ew ew wasting thing at the door, ew!*
Date: 2004-10-13 01:04 pm (UTC)Hrm. I know what you need. Girl's night out. Moira and I used to do those - hit a coffee place in the city and talk until closing time. *g* Some are 24/7, did you know that? Hey, I miss big, blue and fuzzy too. He's the reason I came here, did you know that? Knew him before I ever even heard of this place...
Hrm. Not bad. You need a bit more woe in there I think though.
Well. Maybe a bit. I could go down to the kitchen and make maybe one, I suppose... *put upon sigh*
Alison
ps - Uh huh. I saw the post. There was enabling. Much enabling.
Subject: *expires in your doorway for you to trip over*
Date: 2004-10-13 01:58 pm (UTC)You'll never let me live this down, will you? You'll have "She SHOT me! In the ASS!" engraved on my tombstone, won't you?
Oh God, yes. Sounds wonderful. We're on night shift number four and counting...
And no, I didn't know that. Where'd you come across Hank during your fabulous rock star career? He's not exactly the sort to run in the same circles as you, I would have thought. Do tell the whole story - there may be blackmail material. *grins*
Working on the woe. I'm out of practice.
With extra banana? *looks even more hopeful. And cute. Don't forget the cute*
Maddie.
PS: I refuse to answer that on the grounds I may incriminate myself.
Subject: *has body carted off and buried*
Date: 2004-10-13 02:06 pm (UTC)Soon. If Moira can't make it I'll get you out at least, and then we can both go back to rescue her. You know - did you consider liberating some of the kids from classes to help during the day? Those that have been helping around in the medlab anyway? It'd give you some more snooze time, for one thing. And a few days of missing class won't hurt them.
It was at some fancy evening thing after a concert. Hrm. I may tell you more about it later, too much to this for it to be email material - or you can ask him when he gets back if you want. But it's been three and something years now. :)
Practice makes perfect, you know that. More woe, now.
Hrm. May even add in chocolate chips. The cute is pretty good.
Alison
ps - uh huh. I'll just have to jump to conclusions then. Ayup.
Subject: *rises from the dead and haunts your steps*
Date: 2004-10-13 11:32 pm (UTC)Tattoos. Ouch. And Ick. Can't we just go with the tombstone idea?
And yes, the kids haev been helping, as much as they're able to, any way. It's not exactly been easy on any of the three of them - Clarice has been pretty vocal about what she thinks of the whole demon thing, and Rahne... well, she hasn't said anything, because she's far too polite to, but she's been a bit on the skittish side since that weekend. And as for Amanda... Thank God Pete decided to get her out of here for a few days. She was looking at being tranq gun candidate number two, and her butt's skinnier than yours. I've been napping during the day whilst Cece covers my classes, but you know what this place is like - it's impossible to get any eral sleep when there's the pitter-patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots just downstairs...
Once Hank gets back, I think I'll be taking a short vacation. Go home, see the folks, talk to Carlie about visiting. _Sleep_. And let Mom feed me as much as she likes and listen to Dad talk about retiring, again. He's been talking about it for the past five years. But yes, vacation _good_.
Wanna have that chat over coffee? Coffee not made by either of us, so it's trustworthy? I can practice my woe face on you then.
Maddie

Date: 2004-10-14 12:21 am (UTC)You're a doctor and you don't like needles? *g* Mm. Big slabs of stone are so passé.
...you know, from the typos you're making, I think you need a break soon. Miss Tranq Gun candidate #3 now that Amanda is gone. And hey, I can just claim you shot me first. I think Nathan talks to Rahne a fair bit. Want me to slip him a word about it, he can check in on her?
Vacations are good. Very good. Last time I went was in Mexico. Came back with a little green man, too. :)
Indeed I do. Tis a deal. And you can practice the woe face all you want. We'll get you up to date there in no time.
