"Do you remember getting that confession out of Doctor Parmak?"

(smiles) "I never even touched him."

"That was the beauty of it. You just sat there for -- what, three hours?"

"Four."

"And after four hours of watching you stare at him... he confessed."

"I was good, wasn't I?"

"You were brilliant. Afterwards, he just kept saying... 'His eyes... his eyes... '"

(Garak and Enabran Tain, DS9: The Die Is Cast)

A geeky moment for the Trekkies on my list. The day after coming back from London, I reconnected with my actual lover - the one that matters and isn't just a random bit of fun - and halfway through the evening, it occurred to me that the dynamic between us strongly suggests a highly unlikely slash pairing.

There's no way I could ever write it, no plausible way I could actually get those characters into bed together, but thanks to topbit, I now know exactly what they'd be like if they ever did. What's more, I told him that and he saw exactly what I meant, without my having to name the characters.

Don't even ask about the interrogation. *shivers*

I didn't put this on the quiz filter, since it's one that actually involves invention and originality, and it's cut in any case...

...and then, for some reason, I get creative.

First real attempt at any kind of computer art. I'm reasonably confident (not the same thing as "good", btw) with pen and ink, pastels or sculpting but this is a completely new thing. But I have been sucked in by muse_secrets and I couldn't rest till I'd made something.

( this is what I made )

Very, very simple, but that actually works in its favour.


I hope.
