This is going to be a post 'o plenty.

First of all, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY [livejournal.com profile] jittrbugg! I hope that you had a good one.

Secondly, I don't think that I thanked everyone properly for participating in the Valentine's Day Secret Admirer Extravaganza project! Thank you so much to everyone who participated, everyone who sent in messages for their friends, everyone who even got a mention and even those who didn't I'm sending so much love to all of you.

I really enjoyed working on it and putting it together. I just love the tradition and trying to keep it an annual event since it started ... what was it, a couple of years ago in [livejournal.com profile] severina2001's journal? I know that [livejournal.com profile] sdvmadelyn does the giant one but we still have ours trucking along the highway alongside so, thank you again! Definitely hope to see it next year too. ♥♥♥♥♥ to all of you!

In case you missed it or want to go back and reference (or something) you can find the first post here and the second post here.

Thank you again!

And now as a little side note I am getting SO nostalgic for Qaf again. I mean before with my nostalgia posts (you can find the fic part one here) I was/am just very nostalgic for fandom but now I'm getting show nostalgic!

I was reading [livejournal.com profile] arlad's wonderful AU fic The Space Between that I've never read before since I was too busy graduating from college when she wrote it but I just got ridiculously happy thinking about Brian and Justin again. Then I watched the following clips:

1) Hotel sex.
2) Forever young.
3) I want you safe.
5) Domesiticity from S4
6) Not married!
7) BJ from 309
8) Ready to go ...
9) Fucking chicken soup
10) Flirty Justin circa 406!

And I just ... man. It just hit me how much I still love these moments. Watching season four and that scene that they had sitting on the floor with the Chinese boxes I mean what would we have given to have seen that scene a couple seasons prior to that moment? I know that we were all SHOCKED when we saw those clips (on Andrea's site, hee). I remember how much I loved feeling that surprised and happy for those two.

Sigh, memories. I think I need a marathon. I rewind Nuke clips constantly for their little touching moments together and it's been a while since I've done that for Brian and Justin. I know I'll be having a bit of a rewind-a-thon soon!

Oh, Nuke yesterday? *ded*

I always endorse B/J marathons, especially when I can pick and choose just what I want to see.

Yes, exactly! But it's been a long, long time since I've gone from S1 and onward so I'd like to give it a shot. I don't ever think that I've watched S5 properly. I just watched them on tv once and that was it.

You're very welcome! I'm on a fic hunt myself or at least go through some classics.

OMG you'll never guess, 407 was shown here Down Under on Thurs night. Yes they're replaying S4 & I sat up till 12.00am to watch that scene. I love Justin when he reads the fortune from the cookie, & how gorgeous did Brian look laying back on those cushions.

& then when Brian smashes the lamp into the foor at Kinnetic, "not married scene" like Guh!!

Thats why I posted ALL S4 pics in my last LJ post, did you see them? go take a look OK, they kill me,,,hugs jx

It's such a contrast from the person that he was before that he wouldn't even give it a second thought. Sometimes taking those little scenes out of context help me to enjoy the series as a whole.
