Sep. 11th, 2004 08:14 pmHoliday World kicks ass! And we managed to spen under $10 for everything except the tickets. It's even more impressive when we won a stuffed animal from a carnie game and it only took 12 tries.
And I nearly started covering my basement walls with tinfoil when I was reading a story on a <i>Red Dwarf</i> slash page. It was a post-Blue fic (aka the episode with the subtext that becomes text aka where Lister snogs Rimmer in a dream) and the opening paragraph was:
Home. He was home. He was fnally, finally home. He couldn't seem to stress this enough. Here he was. home.
Which at first was almost excatly the same wording in either
slwatson's "The Homcoming Series" or Nighcat's "Of Devils and Angels".
Thankfuly, it turned out to be that "Of Devils and Angels" came close with He was finaly home. Now this seems a rather generic thing, but I was almost postive that they used the exact same wording.
Maybe I should consider lead paint covered with three layers of teflon instead. Or lead sheeting? I can't affored a secert lair several miles under the Earth right now, so I have to go with something that blocks out mind control rays and spy satlites and all maners of evil goverment things.

I'm not too sure about these things; you'd think, though, that at sometime throughout the course of Alias they'd mention how to keep spy sattelites out of your mind. . .or maybe that's just me.

You're right, that passage is a pretty cliched. If it was my story, it would go like this:
Home. He was home. He was finally, finally home. He couldn't seem to stress this enough. Here he was. Home.
And then he suddenly realized the shit he would be in.
But then that's my twisted sense of humour and I don't really have any characters that would benefit from returning home (or can even safely return home, for the matter).
