oh my god

[skoosiepants]

I have no idea. No, seriously. What day is it? Where am I? Who are you?

I think I might actually be broke.

Elliot has a urinary tract infection, and before we figured it out I thought she'd decided she was no longer house broken and wanted our lives to be equivalent to the deepest pit of hell. Because constantly cleaning urine off the rug makes me want to kill myself.

No, seriously, I'm doing the bills and coming up 30 bucks short. I have never been this broke before. I'm considering selling off Moose to a burlesque house.

I have been a crappy flister, and have complete writers block and I found myself having a deep and meaningful conversation with my head the other day about JD/Dr. Cox relationship fics, and how easy it is for them to completely suck. JD and Dr. Cox work because Dr. Cox calls JD girly names and JD dreams about Dr. Cox riding a pony or whatever. Also, having JD call Dr. Cox Perry is wrong wrong wrong no matter how much sex they're having. And again, I am overthinking scrubsfic.

Um. I think I'm done.

*hugs poor stressed out skooz*

And if you sell Moose to a burlesque house, you totally have to provide us with pictures. And commentary.

*hugs back*

Dude, Moose would suck as a dancer. He'd just sit there and carefully not look at anybody. But the outfits would be spectacular!

Wow, so it would be like One Tree Hill tonight. Interesting.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I confess I have never ever watched that show. isn't it about basketball or something?

[veracity]

Yep, but they're stripping tonight.

[(Anonymous)]

huh. that's kinda... disturbing.

[veracity]

It wasn't major stripping. It was 9pm version, so basically they put their jackets down and ripped off their athletic pants. Nothing too big. But funny as all hell.

*pets* poor skoosiepants!

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

too stressful!!

[nunshavingfun.livejournal.com]

Blah!

[seratonation.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, deep and meaningful conversations with your head about fic is totally normal. and poor Elliot

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I figured. I mean, I just daydream about fic ideas all the time, so what's the diff?

[nunshavingfun.livejournal.com]

Except that you may be shizophrenic...

Off the top of my head, I can remember at least one ep where JD calls him Perry and lives. He say's it, Cox looks at him incredulously and JD says it's 'just something he's trying out.' So, you know, canon ;)
I like this Scrubs place you brain is going, feel free to move in there. JD/Cox can and often does suck, but god the potential. They're pretty much the epitome of weird about each other...

I've been on a Scrubs binge lately and a (good! IC!) story was posted on scrubsfic recently, so my hopes are all up :sigh:
If you want to have those deep meaningful conversations out loud I'm up for some fandom masochism.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I think the one I just read by puritybrown was the only one where he called him Perry and it didn't totally kick me out of the story.

Still, I think the fun of them is the pre-slash hilarity or the vaguely angry first-time sex.

I also just read a chaptered one about amnesia and Dr. Cox being nice to JD because he didn't remember who he was, and it wasn't FUN. It was so... generic and blah and floofy. Not exactly boring, but didn't have any true scrubs elements in it.

[skylark-cee.livejournal.com]

Yes! The story I mentioned was puritybrown's. It made me all excited about what the pairing could be like.

I remember Amnesia. I agree it was a really bland, washed out version of both characters(though I thought the sex was rather good)and as soon as the amnesia wore off you expect their usual dynamic to resurface and I felt really hit over the head with how far out of character they'd strayed. It seems like everyone thinks that in order to make their romance work they have to either neuter Cox or make JD a masochistic doormat. Just no.

Really, their personalities are perfectly meshed for a (crazy codependent) relationship already. Cox is such a narcissist it's totally believable that he'd (at least internally) enjoy JD's adoration. And JD would be hugely bolstered by Cox's attention. JD doesn't even blink now when Cox rants at him. If they were sleeping together? I mean, it's canon that if Cox doesn't rant then he doesn't care about you anymore.

It's all the canon codependence that kills me ded. Cox goes catatonic over losing patients and it's only JD(not his wife Jordan or even Jack) who can pull him out of it(my favorite scene in the history of ever), He's upset about his son being baptized and JD's throwaway comment makes him face why, JD shaves his head to go an extra mile for a patient and Cox is inspired to do more for his... There's just a million of these examples. On the surface it's all girls names and daydreams but even if they're never in a traditional fluffy bunny relationship they make each other better in all kinds of ways.

Wow, I sound kinda evangelistic, don't I?
Sorry.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I think you've totally nailed their relationship. I mean, I like romantic stories as much as the next gal, but they just can't play it that... overt? Everything's subtext.

I am also tired, as it is morning, or I'd say more :)

[morebliss.livejournal.com]

I am so sorry about all the tough stuff you have going on at the moment. :(

My darling cat Dexter also had major urinary tract problems. I know you have probably had all the info from the vet, but I found a diet of solely wet food and lots of water left out for him worked wonders. He hated water from clean bowls for some reason, and would only drink from a bowl left outside with a bits of leaves and dirt that collected in it. Strange (darling) animals!

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

*sigh* right after the holidays is always tough :(

I don't know how Ellie got this infection, and I hope that's all it is. She does like to eat everything that's on the floor, regardless of whether it's edible or not.

[twilight-la-fae.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank god soemone feels the same way I do about JD/Cox!! JD calling Dr. Cox Perry is completely and totally horrendously wrong. I totally agree. And an OOC Cox is a Cox that makes me cringe.

*winces* Stressin' sucks, I know. Though, still living in my parent's house, I have no clue about how stressful bills can be, but from watching my parents, I can safely say that it sucks and I hope it gets better.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Yes! He's never nice! Even when they're sexin, he totally has to be an ass to him about it, or else it's just not fun.

Bills suck. Live with your parents forever.

[twilight-la-fae.livejournal.com]

Well, see, the thing about Cox is that he is nice. He comforts Carla when her wedding goes to shit, he takes JD out to lunch and gives him nice advice when that insanely annoying girl dies, and invites JD to the group at a bar after JD pulls him out a funk after killing three patients. It's a special mean-nice that only Cox can manage.

Two more years, dude. More like a year and bit, until I'm eighteen. I'm terrified.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Mean-nice. I like that :)

Well, if you go to college, that staves off a lot of bills until you're 21-22. And if you've got really nice parents, they'll let you move back in for a while after that, too *g*
