Why I am, after all, a girl

[winter]

Consulting with my female friends in a last-minute brainstorm before the ball, I came to the conclusion that I am the only one who's coordinating her body lotion's scent with her perfume. To my defense, my perfume will be Samsara by Guerlain, the scent equivalent of a medieval siege engine.

(My new body lotion is buttermilk-scented, if you were wondering.)

The epistolary Seishirou/Subaru fic is going well - I wrote four letters today, two from each. As soon as I think of a title, I can post the first part.

Anybody got an idea for a title? Letters, canon X-timeline, romance/sap, saying in writing what they wouldn't say out loud...


Case in point: Seishirou to Subaru

You have beautiful eyes. I told you that often, but I don't think you understand what your eyes mean to me. Emeralds, green fire, sea depths... none of that sounds right. It's not physical beauty: it's all those emotions behind them. When I read about space explorers meeting incomprehensible aliens, creatures so distant that no paradigm is shared, I imagine them with your eyes.


And Subaru just ended his second letter with "Hugs&Kisses". He's being ironic, but still.

How exactly does one go about turning in one's goodfic-writer card?

[ETA] The woman from the writing implements shop called to say that they got my fountain pen back from Switzerland. She didn't say if it was fixed or not... *trembles* Want my pen back!

Hi Beth!
Nice idea to write a letter-story for S/S... I'm looking forward to read it!^^ Oh, and there just popped up a name for it in my brain: what about "literally true"?

[winter]

Hm, could work. The "literally" part can definitely work...

*goes back to brainstorming*

Mmm... Nice. :)

[winter]

Tell me about it. The only problem is that it's so strong, I can only wear it to gala occasions... but once I do, guys drop like flies, right and left :)

'Malleus Maleficarum'?

Never mind, it's probably a stupid idea. I'm just working through some 'Ninth Gate' ideas, and listening to AFI at the same time. But it is a good song, if you like heavier rock.

[winter]

Considering that they're both magic practitioners, probably a very bad idea ;) But thanks for the plotbunny...

Hmm....title.... How about....'Words Unspoken'?

I came to the conclusion that I am the only one who's coordinating her body lotion's scent with her perfume.

I use unscented body lotion, if I can find it, for this very reason. Or perfume-scented: I often wear Cabotine, and I have the lotion for that one.

So you are not alone.

[winter]

*sparkles* You've got good taste :) I haven't heard of Cabotine... *googles* Oooh. Composition sounds interesting, will have to look it up next time I'm in a perfumeria.

And I'd use unscented body lotion too, if I could find one that fits me. But between my ultra-delicate skin and the limited selection in the stores, that's hard to do.

XD Letters are such a fun idea. You can just wiggle into a character's head and speak as they would. Which I think is fantastic XD If I didn't suck at titling things...I could help.

Or maybe just cute :P Aww~

......*raises a guilty hand* I do that too >.>;; I'm out of anything soft and flowery, but I had this lovely extract I used with a jasmine lotion. Jasmine makes me giddy like anything XD
