The day has come... my beloved QWERTY keyboard/flips-two-ways-phone has become really hard to use, and not just for an hour or so like it used to. After two straight frustrating days, I decided to either fix it or ditch it -- and no one wants to touch the thing. The Verizon guy sent me to a "you break/we fix" store and THEY wouldn't even touch it. And he said it was "like spy equipment or something" -- lol. Two people in the store did look at it wistfully, saying it was such a great phone...

...Back in the day, of course. It still IS! Or was, until very recently. Sooooooooo I finally got a (very basic) smartphone -- merry Christmas to me! -- and the guy said "welcome to 2018, almost '19." I said "more like 2010, you mean?" I've had that thing since 2009! I can't actually DROP this new one and still expect it to work *gasp!* My friend's boyfriend says he can retrieve everything off of it, too, which would be more than the Verizon guys can do. We'll see. Next up... a car from this millennium? Noooooooooo

Merry Christmas to everyone :D ♥ ♥ ♥

ETA:
Here, have an 80stastic Christmas video! Poor George. Every year the same thing happens to him, and he keeps saying this time will be different... hope springs eternal!

Okay so this time I know LJ can't handle chapters of 12k+ words and I'm dividing it into 2 posts before it doesn't let me edit the "continue" link in later. I think of this as all one chapter, though.

Title: "Him"
Fandom: The Last of Us
Characters: Ellie, OC
Pairings: Joel/Ellie [past], Ellie/OC
Word Count: 2277
Rating: R
Summary: Several years after Joel’s death, Ellie still can’t let go, but that doesn’t stop a new guy from falling for her. Inspired by an old country song I recently re-discovered: “Don’t Close Your Eyes” by Keith Whitley. [Note: I labeled this Joel/Ellie because Ellie’s in love with Joel, but Joel does not appear in the fic at all]

Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would livin' do me?
