Hey there! Hope you don't mind me adding you to my friends list. This is definitely a journal to my liking! ;D

Ah yes.. Stephen's castle. I'm sure Jack has many, er, fond memories of it.

"There's romance for you!"

Welcome! It's all Stephen all the time here, which I imagine won't offend you too terribly much. ;-)

Here are pictures of the actual Recasens. It's a desperately romantic ruin, indeed!

Oh. My. Lord.

That's one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Seriously. <3

ahh, that was beautiful! GAH, I want to love with Stephen in his castle. *pines*

Is it incredibly sad and dorky to be in love with fictional characters?

You're asking me??

Do you realize that you wrote "I want to LOVE with Stephen in his castle"? :-)

ahahaha, sorry! *whispers* I'm a little drunk.

I meant LIVE. I think. I don't remember. Ah hell, either way I just want to get down and dirty with Senor Maturin.

He's my favorite, I think. Such sensuality! The way he LOOKS.

We should start a cult.

I'm always trying to start cults, have you noticed? They, alas, rarely catch on.

The thing about starting cults is, you have to have a really good uniform. Say what you like about the Hare Krishna, but orange saris are pretty groovy.

If you want to wear your matador outfit, I'll wear my flamenco dress...

Ooo, thanks! And Cuvier gets a mention, too! I'll have to read this at home later, when I check out all the echidnas and other critters.

Mauritius too! *cool*
