I was asleep by 9pm last night, and I woke up at 3.30am. Figured I might as well get up.

I taped Rove last night but haven't watched it yet. I want to see if Antonio Bandares (who totally cracked me up when I saw him on Denton on Monday) will tell the story about him and Justin Timberlake both crying at the end of Shrek 2.

*looks at beta work she needs to do*

Officially, I'm banned form volunteering as a SV beta from now on. I volunteer with the best intentions, but my SN boys are just so snarkalicious that I find it impossible to keep my mind on the Clex. (I keep wanting to see banter. Where's the banter? Where's the sports references? Where's the repititive dialogue? Shouldn't every slash fic include those things?!)

Wow, that's like reverse insomnia. :)

And you mean every slash fic *doesn't* include banter and sports references? Uh-oh! *g*

*snerk* I don't generally have trouble sleeping. I have trouble dragging myself away from the computer, but that's a totally different thing. *g*

I know. It's wrong and freaky. There's plots and action. They don't just sit around and talk for hours! (And that freaks me out more than the thought of world-wide destruction that occurs after a nasty CLex break up.)

Go ahead and laugh it up, Miss. *rolls eyes*

I'm totally serious about this. I keep expecting sorkinese from Lex and Clark...

***

Lex narrowed his eyes. "What are you doing here?"

"What am I doing here?" Clark asked, watching the multi-billionaire closely.

"What are you doing here?" Lex casually brushed his hand over the controls of his kryptonite fueled laser. "You shouldn't be here, Clark."

"I know."

"You shouldn't."

Clark rolled his eyes. "I picked up on that the first time."

"So what are you doing here?"

"I'm trying to thwart your attempt to take over the world."

"I'm not taking over it," Lex objected mildly, "I'm just..."

"Trying to buy it?" Clark sighed. "Ruling the world isn't like managing the Sharks, Lex. You can't just pay people to want to live under your rule."

"I think it's just like the Sharks. Give people enough incentive, they'll score a touch-down every time."

"And you think threatening to melt the major cities of North America will do the trick?"

"I'd certainly consider it an incentive," Lex said firmly, looking down at the controls in his hand.

Clark took a few more steps over and stood beside Lex. "Lex, it's not going to work."

"It should."

"It's not," Clark said gently, settling his hands over Lex's, and pulling them far away from the blinking red buttons. "Blowing up half of America is not going to make Metropolis win the World Series."

Lex sighed despondently, dropping his head to Clark's shoulder. "Probably not."

"Come to bed." Clark wrapped a hand around Lex's shoulders, using his other hand to quickly power-down the laser.

"Okay."

"You can work on bribing the other teams tomorrow."

awwwww! They're so cute!

They should Sorkin more often. :)

I'm pretty sure Lex would bristle at being described as "cute", but they really are.

They should Sorkin more often. :)

Ya think? See, I'm a little wary about writing SV now, because, apart from the Clex (the pairing of Doom, Gloom and Lies!), my writing is always sorkinese these days. It puts me off writing for other fandoms (on the good side, it encourages me to write more SN, so I can't complain).

He and Justin BOTH told the story and Justin called it "heterosexual manly love". (They were both on last night, separately). It was a beautiful thing.

Oh, yay! I just totally cracked up when Antonio told it on Monday night. It'd be great to see Justin describe it too.
