    ~~~~~~~~

    Dear Kashore:

    Arrived at the Academy fine and settled in -- guess who my room-mate is? An Orion o_O named Gaila. She's gorgeous and very much into the male of the species--and cannot fathom why I am not. I told her in very short order not to try and "fix me up" with any of her friends of friends. :p

    Classes are as stimulating as I thought they would be.

    Ethical Principles and Guidelines is being taught by a lively Lieutenant Commander named Suzanne DeLong. She's lively and welcomes questions and honest opinions. I share this course and Xenolinguistics with Sherralyn Walthrop, a green-eyed red-haired lady from Edinburgh. She doesn't have much of the brogue, but she does have the occasional old-style Britishism. :D ;)

    My prof for Xenolinguistics is quite ... intriguing. He also welcomes questions, though some are intimidated by his rank and sheer genius. His voice is compelling also, and I have found myself quite taken in by its rich and subtle nuances. :) He comes from a place even hotter than home -- Vulcan, no less -- and his mother is Amanda Grayson by all reports, who is and still is affiliated with the Consular Department in the Journalism/Press department. Sherralyn and I discussed whether he would be more or less "rigorous" than a pure-blood [face_mischief] but so far neither of us can tell. [face_laugh]

    The weather is beautiful here. The days are balmy and the nights softly cool. The ocean view is wonderful and I enjoy going to the beach. There's a jazz club nearby where they play live music and serve excellent food. You know I'm going to make it a habit to be there! :D

    How are Marini and Latifa and karamu getting along? Is Ndale bugging them? :rolleyes: He really should have more compassion, seeing as how they're separated from their parents temporarily. I know you and Dajan will be making them feel at home. :*

    Must dash now, but am ever yours with Love,

    Nyota

    *

    Dear Nyota:

    So glad you've settled in nicely and have found a pal right off. [face_dancing] And you don't have to tell me about your ... reluctance to date. o_O I know that well from the suitors who came by here often enough during uni days and before. You didn't want to give them much more than the time of day, though I must admit, some were not worth much more. :p And Papa was more than ready to "scare" them off, although you and I both know that wnen or if you'd found someone you loved, he'd be willing to give them a chance. :D

    Latifa and Karamu get along with Marini quite well, as you know they would. Marini has such a sweet temperament and didn't pester them with questions, for which I'm thankful. Their Papa, as you know, was in an accident aboard one of the space stations and had to be rushed to the hospital for therapy. They say he will be discharged in six weeks, but his wife is staying there with him, so Dajan and I were more than willing to take the girls in. Latifa loves drawing and sketching, and Karamu loves all water sports, so we take them to the beach and the lake as often as we can. My new job as a social worker at the University Medical Center is going splendidly. I love interacting with the incoming students, particularly. I am still keeping my Research Fellowship in Communications, naturally; you know me, I love a full plate. [face_laugh]

    The commute to the Capitol isn't too bad, for me or for

    ALrighty, when you first pitched the idea of this to me, I knew it would be awesome. A sorta Emily-Dickinson-levelp-of-warmth letter series meets the humor of Jane Austen's Lady Susan with your own brand of shipper awesomeness thrown in [face_love] - but in the end they are better than I knew they would be. They are fun and lively - and good god, there are emotes everywhere! :cool: What's not to love? [face_dancing]

    For this entry, I loved to see Kashore's character established and their family history built on. The tone of the letter was warm and friendly and teasing - something that I would write to my own sisters if/when they go away. :p

    The paragraph about Gaila had me snickering - I do adore that girl. [face_laugh] Nyota's observations on her instructors and Sharralyn was very thoughtful, and very in character. :)

    And you know that I loved the early references to Spock already!! [face_dancing] Yep . . . she omitted! [face_mischief] Already subconsciously fighting an attraction, our girl is? :p I love that she noticed his genius - and sweet Force, his voice!!!! that man sounds like cheesecake and melted Symphony bars. ;) [face_whistling] - already. Respect is building, and then . . . :*

    Ahem . . . [face_blush]

    And then I loved how generous you have Kashore and Dajan, the whole situation with the fosterlings is heartbreaking - but I am glad that it has a silver lining in sight. [face_love] I can't wait to hear about more of the kid's antics. :D

    All in all, this was a lot of fun to read. I would love to see them continued and expounded upon.


    [:D]

    Thanks all! :D :*

    This is totally new format-wise, but I love it and the use of the emoticons :cool:

    _____

    Dear Kashore:

    You asked in your last letter if I?d started dating anyone ?interesting?. [face_shame_on_you]

    Gaila appears to be on a mission of some sort to get me fixed up with one of her nonstop stream of acquaintances. She sings their praises to me on any and all occasions.

    There has been a seemingly endless parade: strapping security oriented cadets (Emerson was dark and had blue eyes). She touted their strength and athleticism. I rolled my eyes and did not have to feign boredom. I-) You know well enough, my dear sister, that there was a surfeit of such types and to spare in our circle of friends -- and I declined them all -- except as part of the larger cluster of friends to do things with on the week ends, or as an escort to a concert, etc.

    Now, the sensitive intellectuals - I do like a gentle demeanor and a sympathetic nature Peter was one such ? lean and a marble-hued sort of pale. He even volunteered as a mentor for underprivileged kids, I believe. [face_thinking]
    She had even gone exotic ? Yio'ry was in Gaila's Interspecies Ethics class who hailed from Rimraw; and Xandu even descended from the nobility of Zafred. But, well, if you must know, when it comes to exotic, there was only one type that featured in my imaginings -- [face_blush] I didn't just write that! :eek:

    And there has been one fool in particular in my Logistics of Navigation course who keeps following me around offering to tutor me.

    I told him in no uncertain terms: ?Go away and pester someone who might remotely be interested, for I assure you, it isn?t me!?

    [face_not_talking]

    The whole thing is enough to make me quite [face_tired] ;)

    I am finding my study sessions in my Communications courses very invigorating and these have become a consistent part of my weekly routine. :D I have cracked more encryption/scramble codes than anyone else this semester! [face_dancing]

    Write soon with all the family news,

    [face_love] Nyota

    ~~

    Hello sister dear: :*

    Ndale has been a total pest this week! He and a neighborhood boy popped water-filled balloons as Latifa and Karamu were tending my rose bushes! Then he stuck a gecko in one of their beds and had the audacity to say it got there on its own! As if! My house is immaculate, thank you!

    I took away all his vid-game privileges ? that?s the only thing that would work with him. With Marini, as you know, withholding dessert is the only thing that would deter her misbehavior.

    Despite his antics, the girls have become attached to him and are tolerant of his pranks; Marini they adore. Their father comes home next week end, so they will be leaving us. :( We will miss them greatly; Dajan and I are considering signing on as regular foster-parents; there?s a rigorous training/screening process, but we really want to help kids and families in need. :)

    Well, it sounds like your room-mate and classmate(s) won?t take no for an answer. [face_mischief] But if anyone can quell them, I know you can!

    Hmmmm ? I?m not surprised you?re doing excellently in your Communications course work =D= and I?ll just bet those study sessions are ? enjoyable. [face_laugh]

    Mother and Father are popping in for supper, and I need to put the finishing touches on the dessert. They asked me to send their love when I wrote. :)

    Ever, with Love, Kashore

    lol!! Oh, these are a hoot to read!! =D=

    I adored Nyota's rundown of the few *cough* candidates that she pushed our girl's way. Gaila means well, but I don't think she is looking in the right place yet. [face_mischief] [face_whistling]

    I adored the line about her 'exotic' imaginings . . . Like pointed ears and liquorish uniform kinda exotic? [face_whistling] [face_love]

    Ahem, anyway . . .

    I adore the 'voice' that you are giving Kashore. She is quick and lively and fun and warm all at the same time. The boy's pranks were adorable (brings back bad summer camp memories with the lizards in the beds. [face_laugh] and the notion that Marini had to be deprived of desert to discipline her was priceless.

    And the strength of character and determination one would need to take on a foster situation is already evident in Kashore - and I know Dajan must be the same. [face_love]


    I am adoring this!! [:D]

    And I adore the 'mush on speed dial' line. ;) [face_mischief]

    Hi reviewers/readers!!! Thanks for the super comments! :D

    _________

    Dearest Nyota:

    I am so glad to finally get a chance to reply to your last letter!! [face_tired] Ndale has been fending off a neighborhood bully, Zalika, as I told you before. Another neighbor boy, Hashim, came to his aid, and now they are fast friends. Dajan and I spoke to his parents--Zalika's that is--and they took him squarely in hand. Ndale never caved in or acted cowardly; he defended himself with firm words and never initiated any physical violence. We are so proud of him. :D

    Aunt Rehani is doing much better--her surgery went off very well and she is recovering nicely. We all told her not to go jet skiing with such a dilapidated equipment, but you know, she can be quite ... stubborn.

    Kiana is visiting us. [face_dancing] She sends her love. Though their family is half-related to ours LOL being of a second marriage ;) -- I feel very close to Kiana and know you do as well. :D

    Your last letter was very ... glowing, my dear. [face_mischief] Your assistantship is well earned @};- and your friendship with such a "fascinating" colleague -- is that all it is, by the way? LOL seems to be advancing most splendidly. I am so glad you share so many avocations in common. There's nothing more distasteful than working with a bore! :p [face_frustrated]

    With Much Love, Kashore

    :* :*

    !!!!

    ~~

    Dear Kashore:

    I'm so glad that things worked out with Ndale!! :D :) And Kiana -- send my love back to her!! :* I'm very glad about Aunt Rehani. Maybe she'll be more careful next time? o_O :rolleyes:

    And don't you start on the teasing LOL I get enough of that from Gaila. [face_not_talking] Though I must confess, Spock is possessed of a natural considerateness and solicitous thoughtfulness that I have found in none I've known before or since. [face_happy sigh] And you'll never guess what I noticed the other day at his work station? :eek: A picture of me, taken at an official function. I was wearing a gold sateen strapless gown, cut very low in the back. I was quite ... pleased to see he had a pic of me and asked him about it. He told me it was of no consequence but I like to think it a flattering gesture ... [face_blush] Not that ... oh heavens above! I cannot deny it ... I am finding myself entertaining such tender flights of fancy about he and I -- although naturally, he hasn't encouraged me -- no matter what Gaila and Sherralyn have told me -- and yet ... they do encourage me to make my feelings known. I must say I'm tempted. Very!!

    Our long evenings working together don't help me keep from these sweet reveries, I must confess!!!

    Must dash, but will write more, Nyota

    P.S. His and my relationship has taken a most delightful turn! [face_dancing] [face_dancing] I am one extremely happy lady! To discover that my feelings are returned ? so completely, and sweetly! I never expected, or wanted to, feel this way about anyone before now! [face_love] But now that I do ?
    We must be discreet, of course, [face_shhh] but oh! The things I wish I could tell you!

    [face_love] Nyota

    Wootness!

    I can't stay online right now, but I haaaave to do this:

    SQUEE!!!!!

    I'll edit with more articulate thoughts later. [face_laugh]

    [:D]

    :D


    EDIT: Alrighty, I loved hearing about Nyota's family. The kids are a hoot - and that's a perfect way to deal with bullies, and earn a lifelong friend at the same time. [face_love] It was awesome how Kashore could see right through her sister so easily - ah, sisters alwaus know!! Especially the elder ones. (I have two behind me, and I can tell you that I *feel* a lot from these letters on that level.) This is becoming such an enjoyable read! :D

    And then Nyota - oh, what a sweetie!! If I saw *that* picture on *that* desk from *that* man . . . yeah, there would have been no composure, let alone keeping my feelings under wraps!! [face_dancing] [face_love] I was feeling all warm by the end of the letter, but then the postscrip -

    SQUEE!!!!! [face_love] [face_dancing] [face_love]

    YEAH BABY!!!

    Alrighty, climbing on a fangirl high right about . . . now. ;)

    A/N: Woot!!!!!!! The italicized portion is a behind the scenes scene contextualizing a nummy pair of Mira Jade's drabbles. I love this update to bits!! LOL

    __________

    Hey there Nyota gal,

    I'm looking across the room at you, my stunning friend, you with the supremely innocent air. ;) But I am not one who is easily fooled! It started three weeks ago when I loaned you my sparkly top -- I haven't seen it since, and the look you had the next day -- so like a Terran cat with a pitcher full of cream! Don't you deny it!! [face_laugh] [face_dancing]

    Then about ten days later, you sauntered out of here in a stunning wine evening gown and got into the longest limo I ever saw-- even the First Family doesn't rate better! :cool: =D=

    And last night, you wore my scarlet boots and then got in after curfew -- *way* after, even later than I'm accustomed to.

    So, my dear, the evidence is stacking up -- you're having a toe-curling, rafter-rocking great time!!! Details, I want details!!! Spill!!! [face_laugh]

    :) [face_batting]

    Gaila


    P.S. *sighs* Your Vulcan is a strong inducement to go monogamous, you know that? ROFLLMBO. Of course you do. ;)


    ~~~~~~

    Gaila!!!!!! You're incorrigible and way too inquisitive for your own good! [face_shame_on_you] [face_laugh] !!!

    The evening when I wore the wine gown was exquisite! Absolutely! We went to a delightful Italian restaurant full of charm and the best lasagna and espresso you ever had! And the tiramisu!!! And it only got better from there! [face_love] [face_love]

    And last night - :eek: I actually left them behind and had to get them later on. I was in such a delirious state when I left that I forgot! :D That's all you need to know!!!

    Love, Nyota

    P.S. Except to say that yes, they are agents of seduction. [face_laugh] [face_dancing]

    * * *



    As I typed in my calculations, I was humming a refrain from "I Only Have Eyes for You" -- the part where it says: "We may be in a garden, or on a crowded avenue; You are here, so am I; Maybe millions of people go by; But they all disappear from view; 'Cause I only have eyes for you."
    Spock glanced up at me from his own hypersonic calculations. We'd been discussing all and sundry things, from the subsonic to the terahertz. We'd even discussed the implications of living in a telepathic culture on verbal and nonverbal communication. We both were of the opinion that living in such an environment could induce richer communications emotionally or the tendency to misread overt signals in other cases.

    I grinned. "Am I bothering you?" I asked. "The song is one of my favorites, and you ... brought it to mind." I winked.

    He answered: "No, your voice is very melodic, not distracting at all. I merely wanted to look over your findings."

    I casually slid off my right boot as I moved closer and stroked my foot up his calf in a leisurely fashion as I leaned nearer. He'd eyed my outfit and the boots in a most gratifying fashion when I'd entered the lab earlier that evening.

    He captured my foot and tickled the sole of my foot most wonderfully. I chuckled and leaned in for a quick kiss. "Our findings tabulate perfectly." He remarked when we drew apart. We saved our files and closed down the system.

    "Sometimes," I mused, returning to the topic from earlier, "I think I'd like to live in a telepathic culture. I often think the mind meld must be quite a unique and awe-inspiring experience."

    "Would you like to experience a mind-touch?" Spock asked me readily.

    I blushed. I always had been curious ... even from when we were just friends, but I didn't want to commit a social faux pas by bringing it up. "I would, actually." I answered.

    "Nyota," he said softly, grasping my hand tightly. "You need have no hesitance; I would consider it an honor to share such with you."

    He suited words to action by placing a hand to the contact points on my face. His touch was feather-light, his mind a breathtaking panorama of richness of intellect and memory, perceptions, and impressions. I opened up to him completely, swept away by the beauty of our mingling thoughts and emotions.

    After a few

    OMG!!!! Girl, when you find the secret to reconstructing melted fangirl goo into coherent, intelligent matter once again - please, pass the trick along! It is needed!! [face_laugh]

    Because . . . oh my, but it got a wee bit warm under the collar in here!!! [face_love] [face_dancing] [face_droll] [face_laugh]

    [face_love]

    [face_love]

    And, erm . . . you wanted an intelligible response, didn't you? ;)

    Alrighty then . . .

    I loved Gaila's sauciness, and I love how just . . . adorable Nyota was over everything. [face_love] I was just grinning ear to ear and then the last line . . . [face_dancing] Agents of seduction, I'd say!! :D

    The mind touch was beautiful - wistful and sweet and so brightly loving that it melted up off of the screen as I was reading. The dance lessons were a great idea, and then the rest . . . oh yes. Words are not needed! [face_laugh]


    Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you for writing that!!

    I truly can't wait to inspire something again! lol! ;)

    My darling one:

    I was debating with myself whether or not to send a note to you... or would you think I was being over-the-top sentimental?

    o_O I wanted to after our relationship deepened, but I restrained myself. ;)

    But lands, I have to send you a message thanking you for the amazing treat last evening! The tiramisu in and of itself was a delicious marvel to surpass all!!

    Your thoughtfulness to detail and to my happiness is so endearing and I know I could find its match in none other.

    :* :* [face_love]

    Then after -- :D :D :* !!!!!!!!!

    When you kissed me the first time and when I discovered my feelings were returned, it filled me with such joy! Your touch is, and has ever been, something I delight in!

    Please forgive this ... complete self-indulgence. I will restrain myself if you ask me to. Nicely. With chocolate.

    [face_laugh]

    I do love you, ever so,

    Nyota

    ~~~~

    My own Nyota:

    When I opened my message inbox this morning and saw your message, I admit I was surprised, but it was a most pleasing one.

    I also found last evening a so-far unparalleled experience. You looked exquisite in that imported gown -- the trouble you took to acquire it is heart-touching.

    It was the purest of spontaneous impulses - that kiss in the rain that first time -- your response was ... exhilarating. I honestly did not know until the following morning, however, what your high sense of scruples and duty would dictate.

    I have treasured our friendship, and still do. This new phase of our relationship -- this new closeness is one I never thought to experience with you and one I find more necessary to my well-being as each day passes.

    Since it brings you much pleasure to write these notes, I would not be adverse to receiving and replying to them.

    And since you asked for chocolate, I am sending you French chocolate truffles.

    Your message is sprinkled liberally with emoticons, I see. [face_thinking] Let me sign off with one of my own, then...

    With Warmest [face_love]

    These are just so incredibly cute, you do know that, right? :p

    Just . . . it was light and warm and it gave you a grin reading it . . . The kinda grin that slowly builds and then sorta sticks all day. Oh yes, this very much was a 'cup of coffee' read. [face_love]

    First off, great job with the shot at the 'love letter'. It came out wonderfullly! Her voice was warm and adorable and adoring, and:


    Please forgive this ... complete self-indulgence. I will restrain myself if you ask me to. Nicely. With chocolate.


    Can you get any cuter than that? :p

    Spock's reply was very . . . Spock. Lands, but you even made him sound so warm. [face_love]


    Yep . . . fuzzy feelings!! :D

    The last line about the emotes was for the win though!!! [face_laugh]

    Hi all: Did love the foray into the love letter. Melty melt.

    ~~~~

    Dear Kashore:

    I can hardly wait to see you and the rest of the family during term break. [face_dancing] We have so much catching up to do!!!

    You told me that Tamu was back in town for a conference during that week -- yes, I would enjoy meeting her for lunch. We kept in touch somewhat after I left but kept in touch only sporadically. :(

    Charlotte and Emily sound like darlings -- I'm so glad you were approved for the foster program. :D Their father running out on the family -- :mad: !! Poor darlings! I am glad their mother is getting assistance with furthering her education to make her more job ready. It was very responsible of her to place them temporarily. [face_thinking]

    Spock wrote me a classic piece of Vulcan music -- a lovely, passionate melody that he says reminds him of me. I was so touched! :* No one else could or would be able to make me feel so utterly cared for! [face_love]

    Looking so forward to our visit --

    Nyota [:D]

    ~~

    Hi: :D

    I can't wait either!! Charlotte and Emily are indeed sweet!! The fosterlings we had before were two rambunctious boys, so you know Ndale was very glad about that; now, he feels outnumbered LOL

    Ah!! What a sweet thing to do! Dajan wrote me poetry when we were courting -- some of it was "corny" but I loved it!!! [face_laugh]

    I've arranged a day at the lake and Tamu will join us for lunch there. [face_happy}

    With Love, Kashore

    That was adorable, as always - music and poetry, perfect! And the fosterlings sound like dears! (Charlotte and Emily - aptly named too! [face_love])

    I am enjoying these immensely! :D [:D]

    Love these letters, full of mush and fun. And a great way to know more about Uhura.

    Thanks for the super duper feedback. :D

    Lands sakes but these letters are fun!!!! LOL

    ______

    My darling one:

    My visit with my family has been so much fun!! We went to the lake for a day and enjoyed the sparkling waters, the snow capped mountains, and the achingly blue sky above.

    Tamu and I had a great chat catching up -- but I find that our friendship has transitioned into one of nostalgia and memories -- in lieu of the deep connection of one who shares one's daily cares and joys. :( It's not unusual for such things to happen, but I feel wistful about it nonetheless. Getting out of touch with her wasn't intentional -- we both wrote less and less as time went on ... (face_sigh]

    I am taking a few moments to rest after this most enjoyable day!! My foster nieces are as energetic as Marini and Ndale [face_laugh] After the trip to the lake, they wanted to go to the nearest kid-centric restaurant so they could play all the arcade games -- but Kashore and I vetoed that idea. Dajan was okay with it -- sometimes he's as much of a kid as the younglings. [face_laugh]

    I know you said we would not be apart long enough to truly miss one another. But I am so used to spending each day sharing work tasks and the evenings after with dinner and other great pastimes [face_mischief] - be they romantic or lighthearted fun (like when we took a pic of me making bunny ears) [face_laugh] You do indulge me so wonderfully. :* I loved the excursions we took to watch the meteor showers and then stayed to watch the sunrise. :) I have to tell you I am eagerly awaiting the moment when I can hold you close again. [face_love]

    With Much Love,

    [:D] !!! Nyota

    My ashal-veh:

    I am glad to hear of your pleasant time with your family. Please give them my regards. It is a very generous and open-hearted thing which your sister and brother-in-law are doing - taking in fosterlings and providing a sense of family to those who must feel emotionally and even physically adrift.

    I am sorry to hear of the bittersweet tenor of your reunion with your friend, Tamu. That is an unfortunate consequence when paths diverge as yours have.

    My visit with Commander Derek Weston has been enjoyable as well. The beach is one I know you would enjoy, particularly at sunset. Derek has family in the area, and a beach house. He rented a boat and we had dinner and a moonlight sail with friends of his. I felt a keen regret that I could not share the view of the moon over the sea with you.

    A close friend of his, and a passing acquaintance of mine, was one of his guests. Her name is Leigh Summers, and she is a geoforming specialist, preparing worlds for colonization. She was seated next to me at dinner, and we had a most intriguing conversation.

    I can almost hear you saying: "Oh really?! Please tell me all about it!", complete with your most ... daunting glare. Be assured, however, that she is in no way as compelling as you are. In point of fact, I spoke of you quite often, and it is amazing how naturally this occurred.

    As to missing you -- I must confess to a strong readiness and willingness to be with you again. I also await your embrace avidly.

    [:D]

    Gosh, but these keep on getting more and more cute as they progress. [face_love]

    I loved the soft and missing tone of this one, it was soothing and enjoyable to read.


    Nyota's Letter:

    First off, amazing scenery. And I am really enjoying the way you are expanding on her family. I do so enjoy worrying about that. I was glad that she was able to patch things up with her friend - we all probably have someone out there like that.

    And then, of course, the last paragraph was mush gold, but I am sure that you knew that when writing it. [face_laugh]


    Spock's Letter:

    I love how easily affectionate he is here. He is not overly sentimental, but his words are soft, and even him engaging in the 'what-ifs' of her being there show how completely swept away he is. [face_love]

    And then the part about the female dinner associate - priceless!! [face_laugh]


    Another great pair of letters!! :D

    Hi: :*

    I'm suffering from can't wait to post-itis [face_laugh] [face_dancing]

    Squee!!

    Post #8
    Hi: :*

    Nyota, you'll never guess who I ran into when I posted my choices for service preferences? A friend of a friend LOL He knows Graeme and wants to serve aboard the Constitution as well! He's Tristan Sutherland - his sister lives in Brighton - and his parents live in St. Petersburg, Florida.

    He plays for the interregional basketball squad -- a shooting guard -- his green eyes are lovely -- he told me teasingly over coffee that if he and I wound up together, our kids would have to have green eyes. o_O

    I laughed and said: "You're kind of speeding things up to warp 4, aren't you? We haven't gone out to dinner yet!"

    He just laughed and replied: "Not for lack of wanting to ask."

    I grinned and said: "You never spoke more than 10 words to me."

    He smirked and shrugged. "Your closest friend has such a hands-off rep that I guess I figured you couldn't be bothered either."

    I laughed again. "Well, certainly, not by just anyone! And as for my friend ..." I hope you know I wouldn't give him the particulars, but I had to give him a little hint ;) "She's found a truly spectacular and genuine love, so it was a good thing she held out."

    He grinned back and asked me for dinner tomorrow. I accepted readily. He seems a warm and very likeable bloke, you know? Being on line to be ship's counselor -- you would hope so! :D

    Are we still on for our gals' night? ROFL I know it only happened once - and early on - but wow! You guys got in a royal dust-up over one of those, remember?

    You told me the next day that it turned out very sweetly -- but now with Tristan showing a real interest, I might need some smoothing waters pointers LOL

    Love,

    Sherralyn

    Hey,

    So tickled you hit it off with Tristan. :) I had him in one of my advanced cross-species interactions courses I think. He reminds me of Kyp Durron -- the wavy dark hair, the dancing green eyes LOL

    I too submitted my choices. [face_sigh] That caused Spock to get all "rational" with me and he tried to dampen my natural enthusiasm about our serving together by raising some "theoretical" concerns ... I told him flat out how it was and would always be with me, where he and I were concerned! For someone who can rile me, I sure can cool off fast!!! [face_laugh] !!! I wonder why that is ... yeah, right! [face_laugh]

    Ah, that dust-up as you call it ... I think looking back I was feeling the strain of not being able to divulge all to my family. So when he made an offhand comment, it touched a nerve. But as you say, it all ended fantastically! [face_dancing] As for lessons learned, etc. don?t stew and drag things out! Not that I could?ve stood being on the outs with him, you know. [face_love]

    Be sure and tell me all about your date with Tristan!!


    Nyota

    ~~~~***

    I was going to a delightful movie with Sherralyn about two lifelong friends -- who met in college and stuck with each other through single parenthood for one and a serious illness for the other. They were like my own sister and I -- teasing yet trusted confidantes.

    Spock raised a brow and gave me a look when I mentioned this at the end of our work day. "I did not know you were an enthusiast of such light and frivolous fare. It would seem your time and interest would be better spent on something of greater artistic worth ..."

    I shrugged airily as I headed toward the door. "I do love the classic opera and play very much but this sort of thing appeals to me as does the light romantic comedy."

    He gazed at me speculatively as he closed his briefbag. "Your taste has always struck me as more discriminating than the typical ..."

    I stopped in my tracks and glared. "Don't you dare say "typical human!" If we're the cavemen your denigrating comment seems to imply, it's a wonder you saw fit to date me in the first place!"

    "Nyota!" He replied incisively. "The two are not related in the slightest, and I was not implying any such thing!"

    "So you say." I retorted and stalked out, regret
