Cathedral Ceilings

[rinue]

My throat is very dry and I fear that if I swallow too hard my soft palate will crumble into my mouth. Water is the answer it would seem, and yet is not the membrane of my esophagus now analogous to tissue paper?

Worry is too mild a term for certainty, a certainty that I ail. If Patrick is sick then I am sick, and he spent last night fevered and thrashing in my arms. I do not know whether this mutual illness is the purvey of germs, empathy, or an overzealous interpretation of communal property statutes.

Perhaps if I go home Thomas will make hot chocolate.

Broadcasting----

One of the worst books I ever read had one character, in a new age fit of worry over another character, "broadcast vitamin C" into her friend's throat.

I think that's just about the best solution ever.

love and broadcasting, v-

God I remember that! What book was it, possibly 'Remember Me' by Christopher Pike?
Look at me, referencing terrible teen books.

Oh my God!!!! Emily I love you!

I don't think that was it - was it a Canby Hall one?- , but that was *definitely* my favorite Christopher Pike book. Now, with my greatly improved slashy knowledge, was that not the most bad fanfictiony trashy marvelous piece of smut ever?

It's been a while since I last read it...oh, I'm such a fucking liar, I believe I read it last Christmas when I went back to my parents house and found a copy of it next to the toilet.
I seem to have blocked any slashy references from my mind tho ;)

And I'd swear it was that book, where the best friend is a (whisper it kids!) 'white witch' and wears orange trousers to her funeral and sends her vitamin C via a crystal or some such shit. Am I wrong?

You could be right - it's been a damn long well.

Man, that was fun.
