To Those in the Know

[father_peter]

My head is still dying, but I saw Dream Theater, dammit. And John Petrucchi winked at me and James LaBrie waved. And they were incredible.

Now I can't sleep, which is most vexing.

At least I'm with it enough to say 'vexing'.

How long do you suppose the withdrawal period is when you didn't just drink beer, you drowned in it? Because if I know, I can just take a tranquiliser and sleep until then.

Oh, Dad. Just make sure you keep your fluids up, okay? I know how you tend to forget to eat and sleep, but water is important.

I'm really glad you got to see Dream Theater, that's awesome. You're so in with those guys.

I've been good lately, until I was slightly too ill to eat anything. And Aly is keeping me hydrated, I promise.

I would've thrown my knickers, but I didn't want to be indecent.

[empress-tasha.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know Mum won't let you get any more poorly than you already are. We'll all take care of you, Dad.

You didn't want to be indecent? Wow, that whole beer thing must have knocked you around more than we thought...

She even put a little nurse outfit on, which I'm fairly sure you're not supposed to know she has, but anyway...she put it on and then I was bummed because I couldn't properly enjoy it. You needed to know.

See. Clear evidence that I was overdue on my quota for indecency... I caught up with it!

[empress-tasha.livejournal.com]

Dad!

That was my obligatory daughterly admonition. Actually, I'm really glad you got some hot nurse eye candy! You deserve it.

Besides, I can't talk, I have one that's probably just like it.

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

I would have preferred some hand candy.

Hee, now I'm feeling slightly obstinate, which is better than disgusting! Wheee!

That's...okay you totally just ruined the nurse outfit and I'm not telling you what else she has in case you ruin that too!

[empress-tasha.livejournal.com]

Ha! Good call, Dad. I'll definitely pay that one. Go the obstinacy!

Aww, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! That's okay, I promise not to tell you what else I have then, either!

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

Indeed, indeed.

That would be very much appreciated!

Peter Kemp, the man who rocked from death's door.

The man who rocked from beyond death's door? That's totally cooler, isn't it?

[twilightrobe.livejournal.com]

Totally.

The man who rocked from beyond death's door, frequently.

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

Oh well, yes I do do that.

I'm not bitter at Rolf anymore. This immortal thing? It's okay.

[twilightrobe.livejournal.com]

Fair enough too, dude. I'm pretty damn okay with you bein' immortal, too.

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

It helps when we all agree.

Did you have a good time at Download, Tamm?

[twilightrobe.livejournal.com]

Fuckin' oath I did. It was fuckin' massive, wasn't it? Dream Theater went off, and dude, Opeth, they were fuckin' killer. Good weekend, amazing weekend. It was good getting so many of us together to chill with the music. Me, you, Pierre, Tamsin, Renee, Spectre, Deirdre, Flynn, Quinn, Timothy, Charlotte... It's always awesome to get together a big group like that.

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

I wish I had been more coherent, but I'm very glad you had a wonderful time.

[twilightrobe.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sucked that you were under the weather, dude. But there'll be plenty more Dream Theater shows where that one came from.

Vexing is a very important word.

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

Vexing is a very fitting word.

Allanah, my head is trying to fight it's way off.

[createthemess.livejournal.com]

Keep your head on it's important.

Besides without your head, you hair would be allowed to roam free.

Imagine it.

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, the poor world!

[psychrament.livejournal.com]

If there's any head that could win that fight, it's yours.

Which is probably not all that comforting, really. My bad.

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

It better, according to Daria!

Never, Allanah.

[psychrament.livejournal.com]

I'll settle for "not any more," but thank you. You're a sweetie.

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

I suppose that works. Not any more, indeed.
