...or I don't even want to know you, Jed.

In other irrelevant news, you know what sucks? Making a cat take medication. Sometimes I can trick him into it, but if that doesn't work, there's the whole holding him down and shoving your fingers down his throat then holding his jaw shut til he swallows thing. And that's not good for our relationship. Seriously, he's not real fond of me lately.

I opted out of all the holiday fic exchanges I usually do this time of year; I just for whatever reason didn't really feel inspired by the pressure this year. I kind of wanted to...just not do that, you know? Enjoy the season. But I was planning to do 3 Ships, because, well, I *love* 3 Ships -- it's the time of year when I feel somehow validated for the way my fannish life sekritly revolves around threesomes. Only I missed the deadline. And [livejournal.com profile] witchqueen tried really hard to work me in late, but it didn't work out. And I was so fucking sad, guys. I don't know, I think maybe -- something about it being right on top of finishing Alpha Centauri? And I was counting on it as a kind of methadone, to ease me away from this series, this relationship, that I've been so invested in for a year now. But anyway, I felt really let down about that one.

For the record, here are the requests I was *going* to make. I've been fine-tuning them since last January -- a lot of serious thinking goes into this process, I tell you what! Mmmm...thinking....

1) SGA, Sheppard/Ronon/McKay. I know, right? You're simply stunned.
2) SGA, Ronon/Teyla/a third teammember of recipient's choice. Or, um, a third and fourth teammember. I realize it's not called 4 Ships, but people, come on! Team porn! Nobody with a soul can be opposed to team porn, can they?
3) Veronica Mars, Veronica/Duncan/Logan. The longer Duncan is gone, the more I miss him. I feel bad saying this, because I'm sure he's a nice guy, but I think my problem with Duncan was always, well, Teddy Dunn, who I don't think really *got* the character. There was always this discrepancy between the way he was written and the way he was played, to me. Now that I have, you know, mainly the *idea* of Duncan to keep me company, I find myself really in love with the idea of Duncan. And this, to me, is the perfect expression of a trinary relationship: each of the couples within it has this lovely relationship with each other, so you end up with this constellation of three separate love affairs held in orbit around each other. I'll probably end up writing this as a futurefic myself someday, but I don't feel that this is an acceptable reason for other people not to write it, too.
4) Firefly, Simon/River/(select one: Jayne, Mal, Kaylee). Because not everything goes well with Tamlings...but most things do.
ALTERNATE 4) (as the rules this year prohibited incest requests in most fandoms, this was my late-hour replacement for the above) Friday Night Lights, Lyla/Jason/Tim. Because OMFG. I mean, OMFG, you know? Yeah, you know. If you watch FNL, then you know.

On my first viewing of Veronica Mars S1 (which took about three days) Duncan was absolutely my least favorite character. But then just recently I watched it over again in order to pimp [livejournal.com profile] mutecornett into it. And, knowing what he's secretly goring through all season, all of a sudden I had so much more sympathy for his situation and his decisions. I think it really does have something to do with the fact that the actor isn't quite bringing everything to the character that he *could*, and so it helps a lot when the viewer already knows what his deal is and can kind of bring it to the table for him.

And, yeah, considering the weird incestuous tangled-up-ness of the various Duncan/Lilly/Veronica/Logan relationships, Duncan/Veronica/Logan is just one of those things that seems like it *has* to happen, inevitably. I would *love* to read your version of it someday.

Go back to the vet - or even to a Walgreens or some such - and ask for a syringe without needle. (If you go to a Walgreens, tell them it's for your cat and they usually hand one over pretty quickly with a really sympathetic look). Chop the dosage into powder, mix with a bit of water, suck it up into the syringe and shoot it down the throat of your cat.

*Much* easier than the pill. Aim for the back of the throat, because if the pill tastes nasty (likely) then your cat may start to froth it back up. 2cc of water is about the limit for one shot down the gullet. 1cc may not be enough liquid to get it down easily, depends on how big your cat is.

Your cat will most likely stalk off in a huff, glare at you hatefully for all of 5 minutes and by the end of 10 have forgiven you. No personal experience here, whatsoever.
