Hi, this is Elizabeth. I'm unable to answer my phone at the moment, but if you want to leave a message after the tone, I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

I'll bring my camera. Fine. I think. Parker's offered me an ear, and I think I'm going to take her up on it. She's someone I can tell the whole truth to, but she's not one of us, y'know? None of us do really. Which is hardly surprising.

Uh, I think so. And you know me. I'd defend you to anyone. Good. Me too.

[janet_fraiser]

You wouldn't! We could e-mail the pictures to Teal'c. I'm sorry. Still. Even if it means I get you all to myself. Parker's a good person to talk to. And I'm here too, if you ever want. Not surprising at all.

Because I'm really not cranky all the time. I know you would. And I appreciate it. It's nice. To have that to smile about.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Of course I would! Did I tell you that I signed up for the photography workshop as well? I know, hon. It's just one of those things I guess. And I know you are, and I'm always thankful for you

I know, I know. I did tell her that! Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm still smiling.

[janet_fraiser]

Oh, that'll be fun! What did you sign up for, anyway? I went for archery, wilderness survival, writing, and fun at the beach. It's okay. And thanks. But now I'm blushing.

I'm slightly less cranky than usual around you, though. For some reason. Oh. That's nice. I'm still blushing.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

I signed up for writing and fun at the beach too! That'll be nice. I also signed up for the leadership and outdoorsmanship one too. Are you alone? Or are there going to be questions about why you're blushing now?

Hmm, I wonder why that is? *giggles* I didn't mean to make you blush.

[janet_fraiser]

You can watch me struggle with writing. Those metaphors every week in ACJ just killed me. You'll have to tell me how the leadership seminar goes. I was thinking maybe that for the second summer session. No, I'm alone. We have a balcony.

Because you're cute? But you like it that I did, don't you?

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

I'm not exactly great at writing myself. Academics I'm fine with. The more creative side? Not so much. I will do. You can tell me about the wilderness one. I've not really thought ahead to the second session yet. Nice. Where's the ship at now?

Okay, now I'm blushing too. And you're cute as well. I'd rather be able to see you blush.

[janet_fraiser]

Academic writing is a totally different thing, but we have to do creative writing in this. I don't do creative writing. Why'd I sign up for this again? You'll like Admiral Harrington, I think. I get to sun on the balcony. And we're on our way to St. Thomas.

Good. Because it's not fair if I blush and you don't. I know. Me too. Especially because I did buy that dark purple bikini.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

I know. Me neither. At least we'll be doomed together, right? You had Tactics of War with her, right? It's alright for some! It's pretty gloomy here still.

Well, we're both blushing now. So it's fair. Is that what you're wearing now?

[janet_fraiser]

It's going to be slightly better that way. I did. She really knows what she's talking about. The sun is wonderful. I think I might get a little tan.

I think so. That it's fair, I mean. I think I'm a little distracted. It is, yeah. The one with the ties.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

It'll be nice having workshops together. That's always a good thing for a teacher. You keep talking like that and I'm going to be catching the next flight to St. Thomas

Honey, you're not the only one distracted right now, let me tell you that. *pause* When are you getting back again?

[janet_fraiser]

Very nice. Classics was better when you were in there for Foreign Lit. Don't tempt me. But I do think I'll just lie out here in the sun for a bit longer.

I'm trying to think of a good way to distract you even more. Thursday. Really late. So you'll probably see me on Friday.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, definitely. Only the other way around for me, obviously. I would hate you if I could. If the weather doesn't clear up here, I might take off for a couple of days to somewhere sunny.

Mmm. The best ways would be if you were here with me. Friday seems ages away. I miss you.

[janet_fraiser]

Obviously. What kind of creative writing will we have to do? No poetry, I hope. I'm glad you can't. It means I can get away with more. Where do you think you'd take off to?

No, better if you were here. The food's really good. It'll come sooner than you think. I miss you too.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Oh, I really hope not poetry. I hated having to do that haiku lesson for foreign lit. And you get away with a lot. I don't know. Florida? California? Somewhere where it's warm and sunny.

That works too. Just as long as we were together. I'm counting down the days.

[janet_fraiser]

I can't write poetry. I might be able to fake something else, but not that. So do you, you know. Mmm. Will you take along a bikini?

Together is good. I like when we're together. Me too, actually. What do you want for a souvenir.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

It took me an entire lesson to come up with the three lines that I did. And the first two lines I stole from another poem. At least we both get away with it, right? I think I might do, yes.

Yeah, me too. Still, we've got pretty much all summer when you get back, right? Oh, I don't know. I just want you back really.

[janet_fraiser]

We'll ask Chloe to go easy on us. Speaking of getting away with things, did I mention that no one can see me so I'm sunning topless? And what's your bikini look like?

Yeah. I think Daniel's leaving on Saturday, so you'll have me all to yourself while he's in Egypt. *pause* Blushing again. And I want to buy you a present, okay?

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

That sounds like a great plan. Although I bet if we ask, she probably won't. *slight whimpering sound* Did you have to tell me that? It's blue and has a halter-neck top

That's going to be nice. I mean, I'm sorry he's going to Egypt, but only for your sake. I admit I like the idea of just you and me. Sorry, didn't mean to. Um... I really don't know! Can you bring the sun back with you?!

[janet_fraiser]

Chloe's nice like that. Or maybe if we turn in really bad poetry she'll take pity on us. I think I really did, yeah. Especially given the things I'm picturing now.

*quietly* I'm sorry. I just-- Yeah. *brightly* But maybe the sun will come out by the time I get back?

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

I can turn in really bad poetry. Very easily in fact. If they're anything like the things I'm picturing, then it serves you right.

Don't mention it. Or think about it. Perhaps. It better be a decent summer, because if not, we'll be adding another trip just so I can see you in your bikini. Or half out of it as you apparently are now.

[janet_fraiser]

So can I. In fact, I can turn in the most awkward metaphor you've ever heard. Well, I don't know if they are or not. What are you picturing?

I usually don't. Think about it, that is. Maybe I'll get a mai tai later. Did you know alcohol is available on this ship twenty-four hours a day? It feels just like Fandom that way. It'll be a decent summer. I'm not worried about that.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

I don't know anything about metaphors. I'm sure mine are just as bad as yours. Currently? You half naked.

Janet, if I wasn't officially jealous already, I am now. Yeah, I'm sure it will be. I'm just slightly worried about the weather.

[janet_fraiser]

You never took ACJ. Every week. And a five page paper on Justice using trains as a metaphor. I swear, I used the phrase Third Rail of Iniquity. I think I've gotten past that with you. In my imagination.

You're jealous of the mai tai, right? I'd have to order it from room service, though, and that means putting my top back on. The weather's got to clear up some time. Or we take four trips instead of three.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

This is making me think twice about taking it next year here. Five pages? You poor, poor soul. Hmmm. Yeah, I think I'm there now too

Yes, absolutely. And yes, you should totally put your top back on for room service. I hope so. Although another trip with you wouldn't be a bad thing by any stretch of the imagination.
