you guys are awesome :)

[skoosiepants]

Thanks so much for all the well-wishing on my last post! Insurance is so confusing, and J's mom got her lawyer-boss involved and I don't really know what's going on, but the important thing is that I'm only sore AND that they said they can fix Percy!! That's the exciting part, I was so worried that I'd have to get a new car. WHEW.

A gift of Joe and references to Ryan's penis?

“I’m pretty sure I hate you all,” Joe says around a mouth full of nachos. Another Friday afternoon, another drunken taco fest with the gals. Already, the world is a little blurry. “I now know way too much about Ross’s dick and it’s your fault. All of you.”

The week had gone surprisingly fast, and Joe’s neighbor Naked Cop Bob – although Joe is seriously still suspicious about the cop part of that - has been surprisingly solicitous about his late night comings and goings. He hasn’t woken Joe up at all, and Joe had gotten to sleep until his alarm four out of the five days; Hemmy’d eaten something truly foul he’d found in the yard on Wednesday and spent most of the small hours of the morning hacking up dead things all over Joe’s bedroom floor.

Ashlee giggle-snorts into her hands, eyes dancing.

Brendon is waving his hands around. He says, “I know, I know,” and nods firmly at Joe, because they are of like minds, Joe thinks. There’s just some shit that they should never have to know about.

Greta pokes Joe in the side – Joe should’ve thought twice about taking up the seat next to her – and says, “Speaking of dicks,” – the word seems extra wrong coming from Greta, and Joe feels a little spike of nausea tickle low in his throat – “Jon says you saw your druggie neighbor naked.”

Joe groans. Fucking Jon and his fucking – perfect – weed. “He was just—there,” Joe says. There and awesome. With an impressive—ass. And, like, thighs. Right.

Joe definitely hasn’t been peeking out his kitchen window every morning that week, hoping for another look. Joe is not a pervert. Mostly.

“I’m not a pervert,” Joe says.

Ballato laughs. “Oh yeah, right, now that’s the god’s honest truth.”

Joe needs more beer. He steals Brendon’s glass, and Brendon just pouts at him, because Brendon is too good-natured to actually hurt Joe for stealing his beer, unlike Greta or Ballato, who would likely take off Joe’s hand, and possibly his dick – and, seriously, what the fuck.

“I hate you,” Joe says. He feels like this needs to be known. They have to motherfucking believe him about this, and then maybe stop dragging him to Lupe’s every week.

“Oh wait, wait,” Ashlee says. She presses the tip of her finger into the table, sliding it along until it bumps up against the giant plate of nachos. “Wait, have you seen whatshisname, the guy—the new guy. The new guy, guys.”

Brendon says, “His eyes want to eat me.”

“They do,” Ashlee nods. “They totally do, hon.”

I love you. This is seriously. JOe. Yes. Brilliant. YOu get their characterizations SO PERFECTLY.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Joe's such a tough character to write! And him and Bob are such guys - focusing on them for the whole fic is proving difficult! However, I will persevere!

[nunshavingfun.livejournal.com]

god. I know it. I am writing a bob/joe sequel to our ghostbuster's au and I had to talk lauren through the bob/joe in the gb au and I was just like "they are such dudes, lauren. just like. bob will let frank crawl all over him but he'll be like drinking a beer and like talking about his drum kit with a tech."

and then joe will like smoke up and talk about his cat and shit and play video games.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I still have to read the gb au! I'm excited for the bob/joe :)

It's hard to write sexual tension between them, that's what's really giving me trouble. I'm usually so good with ust!

[nunshavingfun.livejournal.com]

don't get too excited. I am the one writing it. XD ten years later.... it may get done

well with joe he kind of like stumbles into realization. bob's in the know about his shit, but like joe is like WHOA WTF.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Bob always knows what's going on. AND I made him kind of stealth-shy. Like occasionally he'll blush and Joe'll be like, dude, what? and Bob'll scowl and shift uncomfortably and stuff. Awesome.

[nunshavingfun.livejournal.com]

HILARIOUS! I can't even. I can't wait!!!

[insunshine.livejournal.com]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want this, like, yesterday, doll.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I'm writing so slowly, it's so annoying! But at least I'm adding to it a little each day :)

[cunningplan.livejournal.com]

MOAR PLEEZ! Everyone needs more Naked Bob in their life!

i'm glad you're ok and everything is working out :)

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

naked bob is a blessing! thanks, hon :)

[bluelittlepig.livejournal.com]

\o/

I'm glad you are okay and that you don't need to get a new car!

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

thanks! I'm going to be so excited to get Percy back, but it'll be over a month!

[o4fuxache.livejournal.com]

This was kinda awesome and perfectly what I needed right now.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

yay! I'm glad :)

[clockstopper.livejournal.com]

Your teasing is so excellent. I cannot wait for this to be a real fic.

also very happy that you are going to be okay and that your car is going to be okay.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

thanks, hon! I can't wait to get Percy back all shiny and new!

[clockstopper.livejournal.com]

I understand how you feel. I, too, was involved in a vehicular incident recently. And by recently, I mean yesterday afternoon. My Hal is not as bad as your Percy, but I don't have the money to fix it and it's not threatening or anything so I must drive around with his front bumper all fucked up.

I'm glad things worked out for you though. Also, don't feel bad about breaking down yesterday. I did it too. Maybe it was just a bad day for all yesterday, I don't know.

Also, sorry for condensing. Just didn't want to flood you with comments. Uber excited for more Bob/Joe. Me and Danielle are working on a first date for them story.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I had a huge dent in the back side of my car because of a hit-and-run in a parking lot and it was starting to rust a little and I couldn't afford to fix it - so one little perk of this is that that'll get fixed along with everything else now! My car will be practically new. Kind of.

Bob/Joe is so tough to write! They're such DUDES. There's really no snuggling involved, and snuggling is my favorite :)

[seratonation.livejournal.com]

yay car!

i am so curiouse as to who has the eating eyes O.o

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I will give you a hint! There's purple involved!

[nunshavingfun.livejournal.com]

GEE I wonder who it could be????

[seratonation.livejournal.com]

XDXD srsly dude, lol :P

[nunshavingfun.livejournal.com]

:D

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I thought the eye-eating was pretty obvious, too, actually :)

[nunshavingfun.livejournal.com]

and hilarious!

[seratonation.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHA! BEST HINT EVER!

[neviditelny.livejournal.com]

Yay for you being alright!

I love that you've lumped Brendon in as one of the girls in Joe's mind. Love.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Brendon is so a girl in Joe's mind - he gossips all the time about Spencer :)

[nunshavingfun.livejournal.com]

oooh is it going to be brendon/spencer too? you sneak!

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I know! I always shoe-horn those dudes in there somewhere :)

[nunshavingfun.livejournal.com]

Good call!

[strange-bt-true.livejournal.com]

I heard about said accident, glad to hear you're alright! Also, bonus!Percy is awesome (and I just love the name Percy. idk.)

And thanks for the snippet, can't wait for more naked!cop!Bob. :)

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

thank you, hon! Sir Percival is so zippy, I'm so glad I get to keep him!
