Mother and I had a fight over the stupidest thing.

Body of Proof is epic!!! It might be my new CM replacement if Season 7 hangs on to the lameness. I already know I can write fic for it and Dana Delany is soooooo awesome in it I just cant even get enough of her superfantastical-hotness-coolness. Love that show. I was so stoked to hear it had been renewed. I'm such a Megan/Peter shipper....those two need forensic pathology, sexy pillow talk something FIERCE!!!!

I'm so grateful for my mom as well, while also sometimes wanting to hit her with a brick (though I'm sure you dont wanna do that with your mom). Moms just have this way, they can get right to the center of us, whether its to press our good button or our evil one. Or they can say one thing wrong and its just like 'ARGH!!!!!' But you know how much she means to you and how much she's been there for you, even when you have fights.

I am SO GLEEFUL over this show! It's been a long, long time since I've found something new that makes me happy and this came along at just the right time! Dana Delany is too fantastic for words, she is just super fabulous in this role, and I adore the team SO MUCH, everyone is just so funny and adorable! Even the daughter isn't a pain! I was afraid she'd be this demanding little selfish brat who drives me nuts by breaking Megan's heart but she's been pretty good so far! *knock on wood*

I'm actually relieved I only just got into it this month, lol, I'd've been so stressed if I'd seen it all those months ago and been waiting on tenterhooks to find out if it got renewed or not! Now I can rejoice with you since the good news is out! :D

It's kinda hilarious that I don't actually ship Megan/Peter? I like their scenes together, but I don't actually need to see them together. IDK, I'm kind of going all Castle on this- I adore the interaction between the leads, but I'm okay with reading fanfic for fluffy stuff, I just want the show to keep

I warmed up to the daughter. I think the writers didnt know which way they wanted to go with her, they went for a more real thing. She's the child of divorce, loves her mom but doesnt want to get in too deep and be brushed aside for work again. They even humanized the ex cuz in the pilot he was a prick and then they softened him as well over time.

I dont want them to bring in some other dude for Megan. They do not have to put her and Peter together, in fact I prefer they dont, but dont bring in some dude and make it triangular or UST-y. I hate that on Castle, I hate it period. They put what are supposed to be mature, rational adults in so many silly teenager situations on TV.

Well, you're lucky, the urge to thwack mother, as you call it has been something I've urged to do a billion times. But our relationships are completely different. I'm glad you two are gonna have a proper visit and work it out. And I so know what you mean by 'you should know me better than that'. That's kinda the story of my life with my mom.

I really enjoy the way the relationship's developed. She's not a raging psycho, like a lot of daughters on tv, where it's milked for drama and just way too OTT. And she's not Little Miss Perfect and totally unrealistic like Alexis, lol. I'm glad to hear the ex isn't douchetastic and gets better, too. Really love the writing on this show!

I really, REALLY hope they don't do what you fear. The worst of all my pet peeves is the love triangle. As you say, I don't need them to get together, just don't, okay, it usually gets messed up and all stupidly teenager-ish and it's just unnecessary! That's my main complaint about Castle. I mean, IRL, people aren't all coupled up all the time, jeez

[borg_princess]

Thanks, bb. *squish* We've made up now. It was a bit of a mess there for a couple hours, I was all angsty and wibbly, but we texted and by the end of it, we'd smoothed over the rift and ended with 'I love you's, so at least that's all sorted out!

It is hard! The instructions baffled me at first, I couldn't work out the aiming and how to apply pressure, etc. But once I did, I kept playing for an hour til I had to leave, lol.

Aww, you didn't like Callisto? She was so much fun for a psychopath... But yes, XENA! ♥ I used to have a pic of her on my wall and I'd talk to her when I was in bed at night, waiting to fall asleep, tell her about my day and all. *was lonely only child* I so wished I could be her companion, going on adventures with her!

[borg_princess]

Ohhh, that's okay then. :P I think she was really cool and I always wished she was in it more. I'm fascinated by the crazy psycho characters, haha, especially when the good guys were forced to work with her! She pushes all their buttons (she was on both Xena and Hercules) and it's just a lot of fun.

I totes hear you on the campy factor. I loved the show so much as a kid, but when I rewatch it as an adult...yeah. O.o IDK how my parents sat through every ep! I really don't get that, lol.

Also, unpopular opinion, but I don't like Gabrielle a lot of the time, so that makes it hard for me, haha.

It's so strange that you would post today, when I have seriously just been thinking of you. I hope life on your own in your new place has been treating you kindly <3

"I can’t be the first one to speak, because I’m afraid of being rejected, y’know?" - OMG yes, this is my problem forever. After fights but also like, if I want to Skype with my boy, I never actually ask because he might say no, not even unkindly but just because he's doing something else or whatever, and I'll feel awful. It's ridiculous.

I'm sorry about your fight. It sucks to make plans and be set on doing something and then to just have it ruined. Even unintentionally. Mothers are very frustrating, and I totally sympathize with being unable to articulate your feelings properly when they're not being understood and you're being made to feel like they're silly. But it's good that she reached out even if for the wrong reason, and I am so, so happy and proud for you that you didn't hurt yourself. <333 That is truly wonderful. I hope you can have a proper catch-up with her

[borg_princess]

Aww, that's sweet. *hugs* I appreciate that, and yes, I've been doing well in the new place! The only bump lately has been a change in rental agency- that was the letter mother came to read; I was with one agency, and then I got a notification that apparently the landlord had switched to another, so now I'm a bit stressed over the bank details and such, but I think it's going to work out. I went into the bank today and sorted some of that out, and I think the rest is going to fall into place easily enough. ^_^ POSITIVE THINKING, WHOO.

if I want to Skype with my boy, I never actually ask because he might say no, not even unkindly but just because he's doing something else or whatever, and I'll feel awful

TOTALLY. I mean, not that I Skype, but it's that fear that you'll put yourself out there and then the other person doesn't have time or can't be bothered or any number of reasonable (or not) excuses that leaves you feeling small and insignificant. >_< I wish I could be the cool, easygoing person who's all calm and detached and 'it

[revengent]

Ah, sorry about the conflict with your mom *huggle* if your mom is anything like mine, she knows exactly what to do/say to make you react in whichever way she wants. SO ANNOYING. But that's good that she apologized, even if she did kind of miss the point.

[borg_princess]

Thanks, bb. *snuggles you* Mothers, they just know our weak spot and how to reduce us to feeling small and childish, gah! No matter how old I get, she will ALWAYS be able to reduce me to feeling silly and oversensitive and clumsy, ack.

But we did have a talk on Sunday, and while I was a bit leery about it at first (we have- or used to!- a strict avoidance policy in the family, lol), but it was really good. She told me that she misinterpreted the 'attitude' I had, that she thought I was being snide and harsh, when it was really me trying to keep cool and composed, lol. But y'know how it is, when you have a rough day, things just get taken personally, and she overreacted, and we had a sappy moment about how much we loved each other and want to spend time together and it was all sweet and sentimental, so yay! ♥

[vivaciousmuse]

I'm sorry that you had that argument with your mom. :/ It's great that she was able to text you and you guys were able to patch things up. I understand not wanting to be the first one to reach out because you're afraid. I'm like that with my father too. But I hope that you're feeling better and everything. :)

[borg_princess]

Thanks, I'm feeling quite chirpy and upbeat, as a matter of fact! I do think it's silly that we had an argument over such an unnecessary topic, but I do like that we were able to get through it and resolve everything so quickly. Even though she didn't really seem to get it (lol at her apologizing for slamming the door! *facepalm*), we had a talk on Sunday and properly sorted through what went down, like how she interpreted my manner in totally the wrong way and she explained how she had a lot of stress and pressure on her, and she just took my comment the wrong way. So I think she did get it in the end, and I hope the next time, she won't be so quick to jump to conclusions about 'attitude'. Adults. *g*

Yeah, I think with parents, it's 'coz there's an imbalance in power, y'know? Like, with my mother and you with your father, there's that thing where they could reject you and make you feel small. But you don't have that same power over them? IDK. *hugs*

[vivaciousmuse]

Yeah, exactly. I'm super glad that you were able to work it all out though. It sounds like you have a great relationship with your mother. :)
