Well, here's the first of what I call Bonus Supplementals. Mostly they will be diary excerpts from either Liz or Lynn.
If you're wondering… this is supposed to be all choppy and misdirected. I apologize for the jumping around sometimes and the lack of details, but I was trying to make it sound like a real diary entry. (and if you've ever read my live journal you know I have a habit of journal entries being really, well, odd…)
And also, Liz's middle name, revealed at the end of the entry, is not a coincidence. It's taken from someone I know.
Thoughts on Life at Stargate Command, Etc….
From Liz's Personal Journal:
I can't believe that they hired me at Stargate Command. Its like a dream that I didn't know was possible. And I thought Hammond didn't even like me! I did cause so much trouble with the black mail thing. I guess he seriously did forgive me. (He's so cool!)
Being advisor to the security systems overhaul is amazing. I've met so many interesting people, not to mention that I get to work with Sam sometimes. I knew she was smart, but damn. It's a little boring sometimes, especially when there's nothing to do but test the new systems, but for the most part it's pretty interesting.
I get to see the goings-on of the program. At first that warning like sound that blared through the building when the Stargate was activated made me nervous, but I hardly ever notice it anymore. At worst it's a really annoying alarm clock when I'm taking a snooze break in Daniel's office/lab/whatever.
Its fun hanging around Daniel's little area. I've learned the hard way not to touch his things, tho. I thought he was going to have a conniption one day when I picked up this little statue. I wasn't going to break it or anything. But he startled me by screaming and next thing you know I'm scrambling to re-catch the thing flying through the air.
Hear that Daniel! All your fault! So don't blame me.
O'Neill sometimes pokes his head in. Those two banter like you would not believe. It's the funniest shit in the world. Its even better when you get everyone together. No wonder why the members of SG-1 work so well together. They're all so different, but they compliment each other wonderfully. Despite his stoicness (is that a word?) Teal'c can sometimes be finnier than the others put together. However, most of the time I'm the only one who gets the joke. Oh, well, some people just have weird senses of humor.
I can't figure out whether it's them or me.
Shrug. Who really knows.
Anyways. Life is great. I actually feel like I'm accomplishing something for once. It's a real challenge, but that's what makes it interesting. I even got Lynn clearance, too. She usually comes with me on Saturday and hangs out, mostly sitting on the floor, her school books spread around her. She especially makes it a point to bring her homework when she has history. She doesn't hate it, but she would probably prefer to be sitting around doing math instead of about what time the 'dark ages' started.
That's where Danny comes into play. I usually drop him a note on his desk, if he's not there, when she comes with me to let him know she might be in need of assistance. This little habit not only stems from the fact I know it helps her understand it better if he explains some of the stuff straight out to her, but because I think she's starting to get a crush on him.
Come on, who wouldn't?
I think he's adorable. Not to mention really funny - - in that dorky sort of way. I love it when he goes off onto one of his spiels about a culture or an artifact. He gets so intense about it. Sometimes I think he even forgets where he is. But frankly, I'm not romantically interested in him whatsoever. I don't know why. I should be, I mean, he's so sweet. I feel really bad about what happened to his wife. I recently found that out.
Not to mention she was Skaara's sister. I keep wondering whether he knew about her death when I met him. He must be feeling awful. I heard he was really close to her. I know it would be hard for me to loose one of my brothers. I hate Simon, but he's still my blood. And Benji, well, if I lost Benji it would feel like my heart was ripped out I'm sure. I hope he's okay.
Skaara. Now that I think about it. He's probably the reason why I'm not interested in Daniel at all like that. It's because I'm interested in his brother-in-law. (Would he still be considered his brother-in-law?) I miss him so much. I know I must sound like a freak. Hello, I only knew him for what, three days. There's just something about him tho. I've never felt this way about anyone. All the guys I've ever known have either been really good friends to me, or complete asshole jerks that want to use me (but never got to, ha!). He's not like that at all.
For some reason I can't see him being just my friend. I feel too strongly about him - - not to mention this great urge to just grab him and kiss him. A real kiss this time, not some piddly little peck on the cheek. And I've never wanted to kiss someone like that before! I don't like that kind of physical contact as a rule. I just don't get it. All I know is he's something special and I hope our friendship is just at its beginning.
I asked Jack the other day to tell me everything he knew about him. He said to go read the file on the first Abydos mission. I think he's trying to avoid the whole Me/Skaara subject. Although I don't think he's totally against it. I mean, hello, he's the one that got me the permission to visit him before I got the job here. In the end he caved and we sat around and he told me the whole tale from his own perspective. And I got details that weren't in the file. It made me feel important to know these things. Not to mention I laughed my ass off half the time about how the two of them (Jack and Skaara) became friends. And I didn't know that the lighter Skaara gave me belonged to O'Neill first. I hadn't realized just how significant it was. When I learned that I felt really special.
I just wish I could tell Lynn about him. I don't know how to tho. I'm all confused about the situation. Hopefully she'll understand why I waited to tell her when/if I finally do reveal my little secret. (My cute brown-eyed secret that happens to reside on another planet. sigh)
I can't wait to see him again, but for now I have my work to keep me busy.
