The zoo has fleas

[skoosiepants]

OMG it's a complete mess!!!!!!!! We have nasty fleas!!! It wouldn't be so bad - besides the whole infestation thing - if it wasn't for my bunny. She eats everything, so we'll have to be very careful in treating the area of her room. And her, too. Rabbits have delicate constitutions, and I've already told J that now that Maude's on regular flea meds, we can't let Happy groom her anymore. It's all horrid!!!!!!!!

Other than that, though, my PIRATE!fic has hit 23 pages and there's quite a bit more I want to fit in. Plus, I thought it was going to be a rough and tumble sort of thing - which I'm sure everyone would've enjoyed - except it went serious on me at parts, and Draco's protective urges came out, and Blaise is getting entirely too soft about Hermione and Hannah just went completely wild, so. It's going to be so very cheesy but hopefully still enjoyable. Man, though. I write some polite pirates. Cutting, maybe. Bloodthirsty, yes. But Blaise and Draco seem to have held onto their manners. Gentlemen pirates, let's call them.

Oh, and I'm totally fucking with everyone's ages. Just so you're forewarned. Blaise and Draco are much older than the girls and Ron. Not, like, decrepit old. Probably just late 20s or early 30s to their 17 or so. FUN!!!!! WOOHOOOO!!!! ROMANCE ON THE HIGH SEAS!!!!!!!!!!

I've had quite a bit of halloween candy, if you haven't guessed.

Avast, I like the age discrepancies-- they make the story a little truer to the piratey ages (the ones we know best, roughly 1650s to mid-1800s or so) when women of tender ages would marry older men. The ages of the actors in Pirates of the Caribbean were nearly spot-on-- I think at the beginning of filming Keira Knightley was 16 or 17, and Orlando Bloom is about early-to-mid-twenties. Especially when Pintel says, "She had the medallion. She's of proper age!" Keep at it-- I look forward to reading it, me hearty! (For more on proper pirate-ness, see the Nun In A Pirate Hat, at http://caffeinedout.com/fun/niaph.html)

Nun in a pirate hate is gold!!!

PS - sorry about the fleas, dearie!

The fleas are sucky, but yay for pirates!! *dances*

*narrows eyes and sifts through Skoosie's halloween candy, looking for crack* A wee bit hyper, yeah?

*sends sypathies to flea-infestation* Yuck. Fleas, or rather, the thought of fleas, makes me go all itchy.

Hooray for gentleman pirates! *dances* I'm stoked about this pirate thang your working on, hon. Tight pants and long hair, swashbuckling goodness away!

*giggles*

I keep thinking they're all over me... it's so nasty!! We're bombing the house tomorrow... should be loads of fun :(

But pirates, oh yes... up to 28 pages now!

[alexia75.livejournal.com]

gentlemen pirated = Sir Francis Drake et al. Very much gentlemen pirates. All that kind of lie-off-the-coast-of-South-America-and-raid-the-Spanish we're not pirates really fits in with that model.

....Did I just try and rationalise crack!fic? oO

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Did I just try and rationalise crack!fic? *giggles* I think it's gone beyond AU at this point, too... just wait 'til ya see what I do to Harry, the poor boy *pets him*

[insipid-paragon.livejournal.com]

Gentlemen pirates are HAWT.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

*agrees heartily*

[insipid-paragon.livejournal.com]

Do you agree heartily, me hearty?

*snorffle* Studying has seriously resulted in the loss of my ability to stop myself from making stupid jokes.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Well, you know, that just made me realize that I don't have any 'me hearties' or 'arrrrrs' in this at all, which is really rather sad :(

Maybe I'll toddle off and add one...

[plum-blossoms.livejournal.com]

you have fleas?? @_@ That sucks... did you get rid of them? Ohh you have a bunny??? What does it look like?? ^_^ Pirate fic eh? I wanna read ;-;

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

The fleas are horrid, but we just have too many animals... a cat, 2 dogs, a rabbit, 2 reptiles, three fishtanks... total zoo :)

Here's my pretty bun, Happy:

[plum-blossoms.livejournal.com]

kawaii!!! ^___^ You're so lucky you have all those pets!!! :) I don't think I would survive at the moment though @_@ I'm sick and everytime I have a cold and when my dog's around it makes it worse >_< What's all their names?

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I luckily have no reactions to the pets... I think I'd die if I did, since I love animals so :) Of course, a year ago I only had Happy, but then J moved in and brought his entire menagerie, and so I had to get a dog to help balance things out *grins*

We've got a black lab named Moose, a pittbull named Roxy, Maude the cat, Deuce the bearded dragon, and Mel the Savanah monitor.

[plum-blossoms.livejournal.com]

what's a savanah monitor? I feel so stupid -_-* So J is your boyfriend or husband? That's awesome that you have a house full of pets! It doesn't get lonely eh?

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

A savanah monitor is a very large reptile... he's on the Dirty Trousers cast page, all the way at the bottom if you want to take a look :)

J is my boyfriend, hopefully husband in the not too distant future, but we'll see!... the pets are great, but sometimes I want to kill them... they're so messy!

[zhandae.livejournal.com]

Yarr, Me Mateys. *giggles insanely* mmm pirate crack

Fleas. Ugh. Makes me glad that all of my pets are aquatic at the moment - I'm getting a cat next year maybe.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

pirate crack is oh so tasty *grins*

If you get a furball, shell out for the flea protection stuff. We were trying to save money, but it so backfired *nods*

*goes mental* No way!!!! 23 pages?! I totally can't wait to read it. I heart you more than chocolate.

I totally adore pirate fics. And pirates are fot. Sorry about the fleas. We have a new cat in our house, too, and she has decided that I get to be graced with her royal and most gracious presence. Please put out your pirate fic. *looks at skoosie with adorable puppy dog eyes but not as adorable as Seamus's*

Re: Lady!! Finish so i can read!!

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

*grins* Almost done!! It just seems to want to go on and on... and everyone ended up totally OOC, but I'm having so much fun with it anyway :)

Our cat Maude is totally insane...
