Okay - I just posted the next two and then remembered I hadn't fully responded here
.
Robinson - um they're posted now
.
Karen - Yep. Ouch...
Sarah - so sorry. No, not trying to kill you...
Andreia - Sleep kisser /giggle/ Yes it is Saturday. /whistles innocently/
Ann - How do you really feel?
Found the I Cor. 13 stuff interesting too [think it's the first time I've Bible quotes in a FDK thread...]. Clark will grow up. I promise.
Michael - love the shoes... And I'm not Missy. Though I did talk to her for like 45m yesterday...
JD - Clark is being a loser and he does realize that - but, as my pastor says, 'in order for change to happen, the pain of staying the same has to exceed the pain of change'. Often, change hurts. Often, staying the same hurts. If staying the same hurts more than changing, then change happens. Clark's not there yet
. Though I think Michael [and Alisha really
] might find some Kryptonite that would make the changing seem real appealing... [from farther down] I've had fic dreams before. I think ML's last one caused several...
Grinch - As for why... some of it's coming up in what I just posted.
Natascha - Have fun on your vacation! But you're already gone! Hope you're enjoying your present [that's really for all of you so you know that she got a bit of a preview since she's OOT and she probably won't read this since it'll be on like page 3 by the time she gets back... /runs for cover/]
James - I love you, too.
sjp - aww... sorry... not really...
FYI for the rest of you, Alisha has threatened Clark with Kryptonite repeatedly too...
Sara - no there was no conscious maliciousness there. He didn't realize what he said. I think he made a conscious choice to kiss her etc, but he didn't realize what he said. We've all done that, I think, when the wrong word or name or something slipped out [heck, I call my kids the wrong name 2/3 of the time, I think] but that was an especially bad time for that to happen...
Lara - /hands her a bandaid/
Sonia - See what I said above about the change thing. /whistles about the nanny thing/
AnKS - /just whistles and then moves on/ See you when you get back!
Amy - nope, not a dream, and you're probably right about Clark.
Lisamaree - No, I don't think so. I think Clark's just feeling rejected by Lana [who is, very understandably, rejecting him] and annoyed at life in general and being petty - 'the 'real' marriage thing doesn't extend to birthday gifts since she didn't get me one' kind of thing. Mindy will be back eventually.
Patrick - Um, I've seen like 3 eps of Smallville... maybe. As for the paternity revelation... that'll be a while, either way. Decade? May be long enough...
Elisabeth - yes, I know that. I hope I addressed that in the next section. I think he felt a bit on the spot and am not sure what he could have said - maybe that it 'wasn't in yet' or something [without mentioning, of course, that 'it' wasn't ordered yet...] I don't think he felt he could say he didn't get her anything and the first thing that popped into his head was that he'd left it in their room to give to her later... If you see another work around there, please let me know.
Jenni - /waves/ He will grow up and start being [at least somewhat] responsible before too long. Promise. You do know you have to hit him over the head pretty hard [with that bat of Michael's] to get any sense into him, right? Waiting [semi?] patiently [?] for more of 'My Wife'.
/points to boards/ There's more for you...
Carol
