Maybe Van Pelt Is A Bit Taken With Dean.

I am very nearly caught up on The Mentalist!

At the beginning of 'Red Scare', I found myself wondering whether I had accidentally put on a Supernatural episode. I spent the rest of the episode half-expecting the Winchesters to show up and was mildly disappointed when they didn't.

(The Winchesters investigate a case! The CBI are already investigating it! Cho interrogates Sam! Dean becomes convinced that this guy with a girl's name is actually psychic and they need to take him out! (They don't actually take him out, though. That would make the concept much less delightful. (Maybe Sam takes him out to dinner.)))

Van Pelt and Rigsby were adorable enough to make up for the lack of Winchesters, though. I love them. Also, the part where Jane was leaning casually against a ledge and drinking tea and basically looked like he was having the most civilised phonesex ever with Cho was bizarrely and enormously hot.

Over the weekend, I made the following rather perplexing slipup when talking to my housemate:

Riona: Would you like some drugs? ...no, not drugs. Water.

It was late and I was sleepy, but that doesn't really make it much less confusing.

(Between that and my starting a story with 'A friend of mine was once strangling me - not for erotic reasons...' in the middle of a discussion about autoerotic asphyxiation, I think my housemate may be slightly afraid of me.)

I feel compelled to ask now - why was your friend strangling you?

And your Mentalist posts continue to make me happy in my sleep-deprived wanderings through my flist in between ridic amounts of dead languages.

Everything about Jane is bizarrely and enormously hot. Like, that episode where he suddenly was holding a baby for some reason (I forget why) and it sent me into giddy paroxysms of delight. idek.

ps: akjsgfjdgsfk your icon

Pfft, I don't know. I was strangled a lot in secondary school. You can't expect me to pick out individual instances.

(Well, this particular instance is significant because the strangling went on a little too long and when I thought 'all right, maybe I should push her hands off my neck now' I found I had forgotten how to lift my arms or speak, which was a bit alarming. But I can't remember what brought it on.

ENJOY YOUR WEIRD RIONA-BACKSTORY.)

I am glad you're enjoying the entries (and the icon)! And, yes, Jane is perpetually being too hot. AND THE BABY-HOLDING WAS THE CUTEST THING EVER.

"I found I had forgotten how to lift my arms or speak, which was a bit alarming. But I can't remember what brought it on"

My first thought was Derren Brown must have been behind this somehow. Not that I'm slightly obsessed with him right now or anything.

Quite possibly!

(I've been busy for the past couple of days, so I haven't read Rose yet. I'm sorry! I'm looking forward to it. If you don't get a review from me by the end of the week, give me a nudge.)

Everything, ever, is his fault!

ooh, OK.
(I'm convinced I'm really weirding people out with that storyline, which is odd because I think Derren having sex with a clock is *much* weirder but people seemed to love that, heh)
I might have the next part up within the next few days, if I don't get distracted by watching Trick of the Mind (or writing crazy SPN fic).

I think you must have missed this (http://rionaleonhart.livejournal.com/221659.html?thread=7887323#t7887323) then. What with being busy and all.

which was a bit alarming: O RLY.

Well, this particular instance is significant because the strangling went on a little too long and when I thought 'all right, maybe I should push her hands off my neck now' I found I had forgotten how to lift my arms or speak, which was a bit alarming. But I can't remember what brought it on.

The pseudo-Freudian part of me is trying to connect this to your Derren Brown fic. The rest of me is trying to give myself a metaphorical whack on the head, and go "This isn't Riona doing asphyxiation fic! This is reality! Be properly alarmed!"

Although I'm guessing you did work out the speaking and arm-lifting thing eventually, or you would have mentioned that by now.

I have...nothing of relevance to say right now, but would like to meet up and do something, er, sometime.

Also I should either go to sleep or drink some coffee.

I think this sounds a good (if vague) plan! Although I should warn you that there is a good chance I will just panic about my dissertations and cry on you.

That is quite reasonable! I, er, need to make myself go to uni things instead of just staring blankly at the internet + a pile of textbooks all day long. This is not productive to anything. Maybe watching something at one of our houses (we have a really nice tv, although we are rather overcrowded)

Nothing to with anything, but it's rather charming- http://twitter.com/big_ben_clock

My Dad and I were both bordering on deathly ill this weekend, so we bundled up, medicated, and caught up on our DVR'd episodes of The Mentalist.

Cho's deadpan is fucking hilarious when you're cough syrup'd out of your head. Not that he isn't amusing otherwise, but he was marvelous.

Dad's cackle-wheeze when Jane accidentally cock blocked Rigsby and Van Pelt was pretty epic.

I love Cho's deadpan! I seem to recall that there was an episode in which Cho had to report some fake information, and Rigsby commented afterwards, 'Delivery was a bit wooden,' and I was very amused indeed.

Dad's cackle-wheeze when Jane accidentally cock blocked Rigsby and Van Pelt was pretty epic.

Ahahaha, that was a great moment. An enormously frustrating moment, but still great. JANE.

In the next episode Cho has one of the best lines in the history of ever, as far as I'm concerned. His interrogations are the best. Such a people person!

I cannot help but think that Rigsby and Van Pelt are utterly adorable. And awkward. Brilliantly awkward. I just ship everyone.

Cho and Jane can have very deadpan phonesex any day of the week.

"Riona: Would you like some drugs? ...no, not drugs. Water."

It's not even funny how often stuff like this happens to me. (Okay, it's actually really funny, but that's Not The Point.) Also I burst out laughing at this and scared away the woodpecker outside my window. Scaring nature is always fun. High five!

And I have a feeling Cho would be fantastic at phonesex. He's EFFICIENT. *MEANINGFUL EYEBROW RAISE*

AND ALSO: BABY. JANE WITH BABY. LISBON'S MELTY-FACE AT BABY + JANE.

My ovaries are those kinds that are probably dysfunctional, and that scene still made Rachel-goo out of me. Alkjdhflkjhsdf.

You are making me really want to see Jane and Cho having actual phonesex. Somebody write this! Jane should have a cup of tea. Lisbon should be in the background, becoming increasingly horrified as the side of the conversation she is hearing becomes more and more obviously inappropriate.

They break out in a brief, polite argument halfway through when Cho says something Jane disagrees with. Lisbon is going o_o at her desk while Jane settles more comfortably into his couch and informs Cho that what he's suggesting isn't actually as "stimulating" as Cho might think.

Cho finally gives in, they continue, and Jane looks up suddenly to catch Lisbon's eye and just TWINKLES at her, without breaking pace with Cho.

AUGH. WANT.

"Lisbon's here, by the way," Jane says. "I'll let you guess whether she's really here or it's just part of the scenario."

A pause.

"She's actually there, isn't she?"

"I'm not going to tell you. Take all the fun out of guessing. You're not a fan of voyeurism?"

Oh my God, Lisbon mouths from across the room, what are you talking about?

"I'm not a fan of being watched."

"Interesting clarification," Jane says, stirring his tea.

"Psychoanalysis," Cho says. "That's erotic. About on the same level as calling this a 'scenario'."

"All right," Jane says, after taking a sip. "Where were we?"

"Lisbon still there?"

Jane looks up at Lisbon over the rim of his teacup. "She can't have left if she was never really here, can she?"

Which isn't technically a lie. What Cho doesn't know won't hurt him.

"I was halfway through unbuttoning your shirt."

"Why are you unbuttoning my shirt, anyway?" Jane asks, taking another sip of tea and settling himself more comfortably against the cushions. "Where's the romance in that? No ripping my shirt off, unable to control yourself, and flinging it over the branches of the tree?"

Lisbon is gaping at him. He makes a 'close your mouth' gesture.

"You hate it when your clothes get damaged," Cho says. "And I thought we were on Lisbon's desk."

"I think we should be in a tree. Let's be in a tree. The boss's office is such a cliché."

"I think that would probably be uncomfortable."

"It'll be fine. Come on."

"All right," Cho says. "But if we're climbing trees, I'm putting my pants back on."

"We're already up there. Lisbon's desk is in the tree."

"My desk is where?"

There is a pause.

"That was Lisbon, wasn't it?" Cho asks.

"Oh, hey, Lisbon!" Jane says, with an affected start.

Lisbon stares at him.

"I'm not sure this is going to work," says Cho.

AHHHHHHHHHH. *_______*

Okay, so I haven't had my laptop for a while, so I know this is overdue but HEY OMG THIS IS ADORABLE AND YES.

CHO. Also, "Let's be in a tree." is the best sentence in any phone sex scenario I can think of. Ever. Bleeeeeeee.

♥__♥

Riona! Have you ever seen, just by chance, the video of the girl playing the ukelele serenading Derren Brown? Because I saw it and thought instantly of you!

As it happens, I have seen it! (She is not me, I promise. She could have been, but she isn't.)

Riona: Would you like some drugs? ...no, not drugs. Water.

THEO AND I ARE LAUGHING AT YOU QUITE HARD. We'd spent some time complaining about how we missed you, in the pub earlier on tonight, AND I THINK THIS QUOTE OF YOURS WELL ILLUSTRATES WHY.

IT IS AN EASY MISTAKE TO MAKE. (Aww, I miss hanging out with you guys, too. Even if you only appreciated me for my appalling rubbishness.)

I LIKE IT BEST WHEN YOU FALL OVER. 8D

(I AM TREE USING THEO'S ACCOUNT MWUAHAHA.)

Would you like some drugs? ...no, not drugs. Water. This sort of thing happens to me ALL THE TIME.

Also, I'm realizing I sort of have a distressing amount of affection for every single character in The Mentalist. I keep trying to pick out one who is my favourite and failing. ~~Also why are the women in this show so distractingly attractive?~~

My favourite character has to be Jane, but I do adore all of the others. Van Pelt and Lisbon and Rigsby and Cho: all amazing. It is so nice to be madly in love with every member of a cast!

I know! And I'm really confused about why I like Van Pelt so much, because usually she is not my type of character at all.

HOW do you confuse WATER with DRUGS?!

I lol'd really, really hard, jsyk. REALLY. Can't breatheeeee.

Hahahaha, back to asphyxiation!

... Sorry, it's way past my bedtime.

VERY EASILY, AS IT TURNS OUT. (In another exchange with my housemate, I somehow came out with, 'The tigers probably - BUSES. THE BUSES PROBABLY GO PAST THE HOUSE.')

You are lovely and wonderful and I am dying to meet you and have an actual conversation with you. Among other things, you say stuff about your life that makes me feel comparatively normal, which never happens when I talk to people.

Would you like some drugs? ...no, not drugs. Water.

Earlier this week, I blanked on the pronunciation of 'promulgation', despite having said it successfully, several times in a row, earlier that very conversation. Thanks to you, I now feel so much better about it.
