It's quite disheartening, really.

I was eating with chopsticks, thanks to Inyx-sama's instructions while she was here. And doing relatively well, too. Or so I thought.

Until I noticed that AJ was doing just as well. Better, even, I daresay.

Feh. Outdone by a three-year-old... (slinks away)

Those young folks...

I had the chiropractor tell me the other day that I won't heal as well as I would have, five years ago. And I'm twenty.

How's that for depressing!

I'm picking it up late too. Not an easy thing to learn.

Oh, how goes the RP log reading? If you've had any time to dive into it, that is?

I've gotten through chapter 13. >_< I need a good couple hours some Sunday to relax and savor a good chunk more. It's too good and too in-depth to hit in little bits and pieces when I have ten minutes to spare, y'know? (siiigh)

But I am loving it.

I find myself with the itch to build a shrine to you two and the work you've put into this plot/drama just because it's so compellingly *good*.

Session 13 you mean? We never did 'chapter' it. I have to do that now as i work it out into a readable story. >_<


and you have got to be so kidding about that. *boggles*

Ahh. Session, then. ^_^

And yes. Forgive my fangirling all over the both of you; but I'm very very impressed with the depth and devotion you've put into this project. Beyond the fact that I'm utterly into the pairing. I know I haven't gotten too far with the RP just yet; but...the taste I've taken, and the glimpses and ficlets and teasers of points further down the road promise so *much*. There is so much thought and analysis and research behind it...and this is just the raw form. I can't wait to see the ficced version. (shakes head) And y'know, when I find the time to sit down and further hash out either of the two serious Nii/Kou pieces I've got in progress, it...sometimes, it's a little bit daunting. How can I live up to what you two've got established from months of collaboration, y'know? It's like whatever I come up with feels like a pale imitation in comparison. >_< I don't mean to...to idolize. ^_^; But my fic strength to date has been smut, plain and simple, served up with sappy romance. This pairing is about all manner of things beyond smut; and if 'romance' comes into the picture, it's a very twisted and unconventional sort of romance. So many character intricacies and mind games and psychological subtleties. Gripping and addictive. I'm barely beginning to get a feel for working with such things. And here is this delicious ongoing plotline that you two've been working on, and this pairing is so rare that...honestly, I don't know that there're any other writers out there taking it seriously. If there are, I either haven't realized it or haven't run across them. So the world you two have established is about all I've got to feed my craving. Thusly, it is all the more greatly appreciated and I find myself tending to be somewhat obsessive in my devotion to it. ^_^ Ehrm. (rubs awkwardly at back of head) And now that I've made myself sound like some raving stalker-lunatic, I'll just say again how deeply I admire what you've done and are doing and plan to do with the pairing and sidle quietly out of sight before things like straight-jackets or restraining orders can cross your minds... ^_^;

There's about 20 reccent sessions up to date (we don't always roleplay, not when we have early work and class to go to). I think you should sit around and finish those before reading these ones hehe.

You're embarassing me. *grins* but i wont' stop you. Now we have to live up to this lavish praise, you realize? ^_^;; Thank you...*blushes anyway*

The way you hold a chopstick is the eay you hold a pen. ^_^

Yeah, but you still manipulate chopsticks in a mildly different way than a pen or a pencil. And that takes practice, of which i've been slacking on. I still have yet to unpack the two sets of chopsticks i own to use here at home.

>_<

I really need to meet you and teach you how to use them. XD!

I can use them, just not professionally. You wanna see someone go nuts with chopsticks? Watch Mbwun. She puts me to shame. I still drop stuff, she doesn't. At least i dont' have to ask for a fork anymore at Mikado or Shogun when we go for sushi thought. ^_^ I'm proud of that.

Uh I have been using chopsticks, since I was old enough to pick them up and use them. I guess I shouldn't be posting this in the first place, since I'm an experienced user with chopsticks (laughs nervously).

Yes, yes, rub it in, why don't you...

I couldn't use them when I was child. Only practice make perfect right?

:D

We're good friends, we are. *smile*

...I wouldn't starve if all forks and spoons disappeared, I'll put it that way. But I can't claim any particular elegance with them just yet. ^_^;

But AJ just went to town, clumsy or not...damn. Kids.

Just give it a bit of time. They really are quite efficient. ^_^

Ah, kids. XD
