Semi-Open

[john_ofdarkness]

*John's life has been very quietly spectacular for the last few weeks. he's had a sense of purpose, between cooking and writing music and the odd sojourn to Australia for entertainment and meds; on top of that, he has a serious boyfriend (and so what if he's a fictional 19th-century Russian? John doesn't judge).

therefore, he is lying out on a lawn chair, his reading glasses on the ground beside him, a book propped open on his stomach, his eyes closed against the sunlight. the lines of his face are gentler, for how truly content he is; indeed, he looks startlingly like James at the moment. he's not quite asleep, but only resting his eyes, and he might crack one open if he hears anyone moving about nearby. old friends and unfinished business are both welcome to bother him*

Mainly for L!V!C! folk, but Melou can pop by if he wants to be traumatized again apologized at, and Zjendjan can come pester him, too.

*shrugs* I don't know if I'd say a lot...

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

You can admit it. Monogamy wasn't really an ideal, back then. *unspoken: before AIDS*

[notsincecarrie.livejournal.com]

*wry smile* Neither was I.

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

Neither was I.

[notsincecarrie.livejournal.com]

At least you looked it.

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

Mm. Tempting exterior, bitter and cynical inside.

[notsincecarrie.livejournal.com]

It's a dangerous combination.

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

*shrugs* Alexei sees something in me, and it's not good looks.

[notsincecarrie.livejournal.com]

A project?

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

Probably.

[notsincecarrie.livejournal.com]

I wonder what you get for saving a soul.

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

*succint* Laid.

[notsincecarrie.livejournal.com]

And you get the toaster? Not a bad trade.

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

Not bad at all.

[notsincecarrie.livejournal.com]

That's from You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown. *sings* "Not bad, not bad at all..."

Typist: Off to watch Stargate, possibly back for commercials. :) See ya!

Charming little musical, when there aren't fifty children running about backstage--

Typist: Same for me, only it's Psych. XD

[notsincecarrie.livejournal.com]

*groans* I hate when people do that.

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

Maybe this is why you take musicals more seriously than I do. You're audience.

[notsincecarrie.livejournal.com]

Primarily, at least.

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

You might not be jaded by working for community theatres, but I wouldn't put money on it.

[notsincecarrie.livejournal.com]

I did plenty of community theatre as a kid. *grins* You should've seen me and Perry in Fiddler on the Roof.

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

As a kid, not the adult who had to deal with the children. *a pause* You stole some girl's babushka, didn't you. And sang 'Matchmaker, Matchmaker' at everyone who'd listen.

[notsincecarrie.livejournal.com]

We were in high school. I was Tevye. The director's kids played my two youngest daughters. I know from children. And my drag role of choice was Fruma Sarah, thank you very much.

[john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com]

Damn, that would be a good role.

[notsincecarrie.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't it? The cameo to end all cameos.
