Title: Kiss Me
Summary: “But I’ll be eighteen soon,” Patrick says, soft but a little less careful. He’s still smiling, Pete notices. “Is that okay? Is…this okay?” The sudden nerves that ripple in Patrick’s voice makes Pete realize this is as hard for Patrick as it is for him.

Author's Notes: 1,181 words. For misplaced_lies who requested Pete/Patrick to the song Kiss Me by Sixpense None The Richer. So that's where the title comes from. Just a fluffy bit of bb!Peterick because I love writing about the bb days.

( He wonders how many girls Patrick has kissed. If Patrick has ever kissed a boy before. )

Fuck, yes, only one more day of work for the week. \o/ I'm in a good mood. I'm tired and I'm coming down with a cold, but I'm in a good mood.

I had lunch with my mom today, who mentioned that she has an eHarmony profile. YOU GUYS, MY MOM IS ON EHARMONY. WHAT IS THIS WORLD?! I mean, I'm not opposed to it at all. It's just weird. She always acted like if anything ever happened to my dad, she would never want to be with anyone else. I realize though that it's hard to know what things will be like until you actually lose your spouse, and I actually do want her to have someone in her life. She's only 59 and she's really lonely right now. It would be nice if she met someone. She's been talking to a widower who's 68 and she said she likes the way he looks? /o\ Idek... It's just so strange to think that maybe one day she'll remarry and I'd have a bigger family.

So, I've been rereading posts and comment threads on an old roleplay community I was in, and I really miss it. I've been laughing and aw'ing and flailing over how awesome our pairing was. artisticmuddle and I have been discussing making a new community--boarding school au--and we've gotten a bit carried away in our planning. I would usually only make this post on a roleplay filter, but it occurs to me I don't even know who on my flist is into that sort of thing anymore. Let me know if you're interested, even if you've never done it before. :D?

Ten things said to ten people who shall go nameless.

In “Performative Acts and Gender Constitution: An Essay in Phenomenology and Feminist Theory,” Judith Butler argues that gender is not a biological feature but the result of the enactment of a very specific behaviour code regulated by society (519). That is to say that a man is not a man because he was born with penis and testicles but because he performs what is considered to be “masculine” by others. Therefore, if we take gender as a social and historical construction rather than a physical condition, the body becomes “a set of possibilities” since it signifies “that its appearance in the world, for perception, is not predetermined by some manner of interior essence, and [...] that its concrete expression in the world must be understood as the taking up and rendering specific of a set of historical possibilities” (521).

After posting yesterday, my computer decided to stop taking a charge. Again. This is the third time this problem has occurred with the same laptop, which is 2.5 years old. Coupled with the hard drive meltdown I had in July, it made the 4th hardware repair I needed. Thank fucking god I got the three year extended warranty, so none of the repairs have cost me anything, other than losing my laptop for 2-3 weeks at a time. I was dreading being computerless again, but as it happens, the warranty says that if you need a 4th repair, your computer is a lemon and they refund you the cost of buying a comparable computer. The process of submitting the paperwork to get the refund is about two weeks, but my most favorite Geek Squad member was there last night and told me that even though it's not encouraged, he knew of a way I could get a new laptop now and when the warranty refund came through, they'd retroactively apply it to my purchase.

So. I am now in possession of a Sony Vaio that has 4 times as much hard drive and memory as my last computer, twice the processor speed, and a webcam. Oh, and Windows 7. I am still very *___* over the whole thing, and although my bank account is temporarily taking a hit while they work out the warranty stuff, I HAVE A BRAND NEW COMPUTER WITH A NEW BRAND NEW WARRANTY. \o/ You guys, I can keep all of my files on my hard drive! I just finished the process of moving all my music and pictures and videos back and reinstalling the programs I need. I can listen to music on itunes without having to have an external hard drive plugged in! And I still have well over 200GB of space left. I'm so used to having less than 10 GB and taking stuff of my computer all the time. This is so exciting...
