Bathtub convos

[estepheia]

Convo 1

Mr. E: So, what are you going to write when you're finished with your ... eww... Ethan/Lindsey?
Me: Umm... (teasingly) Andrew/Anya?
Mr. E: Humpf (expression of displeasure)
Me: Let's Talk About Sex?
Mr. E: (brightens) See, that's what I wanted to hear.

Convo 2

Me: I wonder if I shouldn't revamp my old version of LTAS. Polish it a bit.
Mr. E: Why? It didn't work for George Lucas.
Me: I could make a poll, ask my readers what they think...
Mr. E: Don't forget to include an option that says: "or shall I spend the time on writing many more new installments?"

Convo 3

Me: You know, every time I read a Spander-fic where Xander comes home from work, after 8 hours on the construction site, all sweaty, and Spike greets him with a blowjob my kneejerk reaction is ewww, cause after an 8-hour workday a guy's dick is kinda rank...
Mr. E: Well he could have a shower at the site, before coming home...
Me: You think?
Mr. E: I would, if I knew Spike was waiting at home with a blowjob for me.

I love my husband. Even though he doesn't quite get Ethan's sex-appeal. Oh well. ;-)

LMAO!

Everyone's hubby should say things like that.

[estepheia.livejournal.com]

Yup, I agree. LOL. I have thoroughly corrupted mine. *is proud*

[estepheia.livejournal.com]

Heee, thank you. Yeah, he's cool, and sweet. He's also a cool dad. When the kids started inline skating, he bought skates as well. *smiles*

More LTAS? **squeeeeeees**

[estepheia.livejournal.com]

Yes, I owe ponders_life a long chapter, but somehow I couldn't get into the right frame of mind. All the money worries and RL upheavals firmly put me in the angst camp, and LTAS requires good cheer and optimism. I tried a few times, but I couldn't get anything to work.

However, I am now at the stage where vague ideas are coalescing into images, dialogue fragments and moods, so I guess I'm getting closer to actually writing it.

But, Dealing takes precedence. If I drop that I'll never finish it, but since I have only two more chapters to write (at least that's the plan) I hope to finish it soon. Definitely this month. :-)

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

Well, that's cool. I'm glad you're working through the end of Dealing, because then I'll get to read your whole Ethan/Lindsey fic all the way through.

<-------is selfish that way

=P

::grin::

Your Mr. E is one in a million.

[estepheia.livejournal.com]

Heee, yup, he's a right catch. :-) Thanks.

[ninasis.livejournal.com]

Your husband is so cool!

[estepheia.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :-)

[skipthedemon.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHA! You win.

[estepheia.livejournal.com]

Yup, he's a right catch, and my best friend. :-)

>Mr. E: I would, if I knew Spike was waiting at home with a blowjob for me.<

Your hubby is the coolest ever. ^_^

[estepheia.livejournal.com]

Heee, thank you. :-)
He still manages to make me laugh, after 16 years of marriage and an even longer friendhip (26 years). :-)

Me: Let's Talk About Sex?
Mr. E: (brightens) See, that's what I wanted to hear.

Mr. E. and I want the same thing -- fantastic!! ::huge grin:: I totally understand wanting to finish Dealing first -- but I'm delighted to hear that you might be close to tackling LTAS again.

This:

ranks as one. adorable. and sexy. husband.

He's clearly a treasure. Congratulations on snagging him! (You know, the first time I typed this out, I typed, "shagging", then realized I'd done the typing equivalent of a Freudian slip. I wasn't going to share, then I thought, "nah; E's shared that Mr. E would be happy to get a happy from Spike, so...she'll appreciate the finger slippage.)

Thank you. *beams*

[estepheia.livejournal.com]

Oh that's a superb Freudian slip, thanks for sharing. And not left field either... *cough*
I'm lucky, he is the most down to earth decent and smart person I know, and yeah, adorable too. *smiles happily*

Psst, I think hubby identifies with Xander in LTAS. :-D

[saifai.livejournal.com]

::giggles:: Very cool that you can have those convos. Only in my dreams. Also? I'm all for the more installments option ... *gr*

[estepheia.livejournal.com]

Installments. Heee. I got you.
Dealing is almost done. Two more weeks or so.
After that...

I hope you don't mind

[bhadrasvapna.livejournal.com]

but I shared Convo 3 with my friends last night in chat. They all loved it.

Men often don't get sex appeal that isn't visually generated. Ethan seems to be more a case of how his personality meshes with others. In some ways his sex appeal is generated by how he acts with others. Unlike JM who just makes anyone he is on screen with look better. He could be doing a monologue to a door and some would be wondering how bad getting splinters in certain places could possible be.

Nope, I don't mind

[estepheia.livejournal.com]

Hey men often don't get sex appeal in men. I'm actually impressed that hubby finds Spike attractive, or that he admits it.

Last night I mentioned my plan to watch "Männer wie wir" at the movie theatre and asked if anyone wanted to join, and the three men at the table all had the knee-jerk reaction of "ew" even though they tried very hard to cover it up and say that it's simply not their cuppa. It's a German comedy about a gay socccer goalie who gets fired after not holding, and they say queers can't play soccer anyway - so he bets that he can find an all-gay soccer team and beat them...."

Anyway, I am real eager to see that movie, and so is hubby, but nobody else was remotely interested in the subject matter. It could be because neither of the men is intereseted in soccer, but hey, German comedies have a good reputation these days... and I'm not interested in soccer either.

One more reason why I love my hubby to bits.

As for your explanation about Ethan's sex appeal or lack thereof in hubby's eyes: Yup, I think you nailed it. :-)
