Romantic Weekend. Off.
I don't know if I told you that we didn't have a proper vacation, this year. Some projects came up, and with the current economic situation, we had to take them. So, on one hand: YAY! \o/ (Gerard's flailing arms of happiness!) because Projects! and on the other hand: "_" (Gerard's emo face of inner suffering) because no vacation time!
The Husband, the one I married just two years ago after 10 years of relationship, said a few weeks ago: "Guess what? I rented a little apartment for us to spend some days in September!" So I made the appropriate jumps of joy, yelled our song at the top of our lungs and run in circles to thank him for his wonderful, wonderful surprise. (Don't ask, it's a long story.)
I adore the place we're going to, V. knows my tastes so well. (As I said, after 12 years together, he's thoroughly trained) Look! Isn't it gorgeous?

Details:
We spent a weekend together there two years ago. It's the most relaxing place ever, really. I was looking forward to it.
Yes, I was looking forward to it.
Last night, V. dropped the bomb.
"So, I was thinking..." he said, and I should have known right then that I wasn't going to like what's coming next. "You know the apartment has two bedrooms, right?"
I had a bad, bad feeling. "Right."
"It's kind of a waste, so I asked G and Y to come and spend the weekend with us." G is V's partner at the studio. He's an architect, too, we met in college, and we've been friends since. He married an old friend of mine, Y, so we usually go out together and stuff. I love them, really, but not enough for sharing my only vacation with them.
It was supposed to be an romantic getaway, damn it! What kind of romantic getaway could it be if involves my husband's partner and his wife?

Ok, that sounded way kinkier that it was intended.
Anyway, you can imagine my face, can't you? Believe me when I say that after I ended explaining him the difference between a romantic escapade and a friendly weekend off, his face was as pale as mine.
Oh! I almost forgot to mention that G and Y just had a little girl last June.
Yes, last June. That means I'm going to spend my romantic weekend with another couple and their three months old daughter.
V. was so lucky I only had a tea towel in my hands at the moment. Had it been knives, the outcome would have been really different.
I'm writing Mer!Adam. I fully intend to finish it this weekend, as the long steamy sessions of wild monkey sex are not in the menu anymore.

Can't wait to read your new fic :)
Oh and try to have fun ! <333
no subject
The new fic is absurd, and I shouldn't be writing it at all. I should be writing 100 Hours Epilogue of Doom, and try to never, ever, listen to
no subject
no subject
At least it still has the potential to be lovely and relaxing. And hey, if writing gets done that's a bonus!
Try to make the most of it. And if your brain is anything like mine, it always wants to work on the weird crazy fic ideas and not the one with an actual deadline! Stupid brain.
no subject
It's not so bad, actually. I really love our friends, and I'm sure the baby is going to behave. In normal circumstances, I wouldn't even care. It's just that it was supposed to be a romantic weekend, that's all.
The epilogue has no deadline, thank God, but I'm starting to think that maybe that's why it keeps being pushed back all the time. Brains are weird things. I don't know why zombies are so keen on them. =/
no subject
Honey.
I TOTALLY feel you. That is NOT the recipe for a romantic vacation AT ALL. NOT AT ALL. And it's your ONLY vacation and you're spending it at the MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE EVER CREATED. OH MY GOD. SERIOUSLY.
That apartment is GORGEOUS. I can't even stand it.
Aw, honey. HMPH. Hopefully he's learned his lesson and won't invite people along on vacation without ASKING YOU FIRST OMG.
Hopefully you'll still be able to get some ~alone time despite the company? Maybe they'll go out for an afternoon or something. Sigh sigh.
Sorry, bb. What a bummer. :(
no subject
I'm really frustrated. I wanted some porn, damn it! I mean, I wanted to star in some actual porn opposed to just hearing brilliant porn on my iPod.
I'm so taking your voice with me, dear. I'm afraid that's the only action that bed is going to hear the whole weekend, because the H is not getting any for a long, long time.
no subject
(I read, like, a paragraph of a romance novel earlier. It was bad. Can you tell?)
no subject
La novela debía de ser terrible, ¿no?
=)
Ya se me ha pasado el enfado, estoy más animada. No vale la pena echar a perder un fin de semana de cuatro días por eso, creo yo.
¿Te han servido de algo las unidades didácticas? Mi padre está buscando una que se editó en papel y está descatalogada para enviártela también. Vamos a ver si tiene suerte.
no subject
Bueno, lo que tenía tiempo para leer, si, me han servido mucho. Tengo ideas abundantes en este cerebro pequeñito. Más, es que leí alrededor de la mitad de tu email ayer, pero nada más porque tenía que tomar un examen hoy para demostrar mi español escrita. Era un examen verdadero; sucedieron todas las cosas malas que podían suceder. No tenía un browser particular; mi proctor no leyó las instrucciones para coger un boleto; perdí mi información dos veces después de hacer un clic en el boton "save"; perdí tiempo literalmente - tenía ochenta minutos, y cinco minutos luego, tenía 25 minutos... fue horrible. El examen debe durar 80 minutos. Duró 3 horas y pico porque había tantas problemas. I shit a brick, like, eight different times. It. Was. Awful.
But! I'm done, so there's that! I'm going to be positive, just like you! And get to work on my lesson-planning for tomorrow, because they're sure to be little monsters now that I've been gone for a day. All of which means I'll be reading your didácticas. I think I'll be having my native speakers start out on Cleo, and we'll work our way up from there. En serio, te doy abrazos enormes y fuertes, porque me has ayudado un montón. Más grande que los Pyrenees!
no subject
Cleo es un libro interesante, a mí me encantan sus ilustraciones, me parecen las más bonitas de todos los libros. Ya sabes que si necesitas algo, sólo tienes que decírmelo.
no subject
(psst; qué significa "los nervios de punta"?)
Si, creo que saqué una buena nota. No sé, pero, vamos a ver.
no subject
Just the opposite of how I feel right now, in fact. I'm all relaxed and zen.
no subject
Perfect! Was it a good vacation, then? Even with the friends' baby?
no subject
The baby was an angel. Her father, not so much, but I had a terrific time nevertheless. I even wrote a little for my Mer! Adam fic. All and all, I consider the vacation a success.
Your apocafic list is made of awesome. I'm going to spend a lot of time on it, I can see it.
no subject
I'm so glad! Are you going to post any more pictures, or just tell us stories? ::chinhands::
Oh, I'm so glad! I've been planning it for, oh, 4 months? I just never was in the right mood or got around to doing it period. And I kept editing and revising. But next I need to do a reclist full of happy things, since the apocafic one depresses me just a smidge.
no subject
Aren't you excited about MCR thing? I'm not actually following that fandom and I'm excited!
no subject
It's really funny, and I'm excited for the album, but posting all that apocafic - which means re-reading and re-writing my reviews - has given me nightmares in the meantime. Which doesn't go over so well when I try to teach on 5 hours of crappy sleep. That was all I meant.

How's your aunt, dear?
no subject
It's really easy to use, don't worry. I'll send you the invite. Let me know if you need help with anything.

Boys are impossible. I bet he looked at you like you were growing a second head. My theory is they all suffer from testosterone poisoning. It's the only explanation.
But the apartment is incredible- have as much fun as you can while teaching him the difference between a romantic weekend and hanging out with friends.
no subject
At the beginning he was in awe, then I made my best bitch impersonation and he was scared, and then he understood.
I hope.
Are you enjoying your vacation time away form civilization?
no subject
Vacation is lovely. We have now moved on to the mountain cabin and the view is spectacular. Just getting ready to head into town for awhile.
no subject
Take some pictures to share with us when you come back, okay? And relax!
I'm going to be sans internet for the next four days, (oh, the horror!) so don't get worried. I'll send you a message as soon as I'm back at home.
no subject
Have a great (though unromantic, non-porn) weekend.
no subject
Have I told you lately that I love you? Because I do, dear, I do.
Enjoy your town visit!
no subject
Also, ajskldf;js mer!Adam?! I AM DROOLING IN ADVANCE.

Would you mind to take a look at what I have of Mer!Adam so far? I know I'm imposing, but I would really, really love to know your opinion.
no subject
And I would love to read what you have of the mer!Adam fic. Not an imposition at all, more like "omg completely awesome!!" I might not be able to get back to you about it until tomorrow sometime, but I'm so excited to see what you have so far! (And totally flattered that you want to know my opinion, that too.)
