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 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.

[janet_fraiser]

Oh, no, you should take it. Besides, you'd have to take CJ first, and there's a lot less writing for it--and my five page paper was because I had the flu and missed my presentation. I seem to have a vivid imagination. Because I'm going farther than just getting you out of that bikini in my imagination.

Because mai tais are good things to be jealous of. I would. I think I've scandalized the crew enough as it is. No, it would be fun. But I'd miss everyone again. We should organize a big trip for everyone who wants to look at Boston area colleges.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

That's a relief. And hopefully I'll not miss my presentation. Although normally I like papers. Hmmm. Yeah, I think my imagination can work that well too.

Oh yes. We'll have to go out when you get back. On maybe like a date? *laughs* I bet you have. I know, hon. We should. We have three of us at least. Parker's looking at Harvard too; she might want to come along too.

[janet_fraiser]

You'll have fun with the class. Professor Tick is great. If you really wanted, I'm sure he'd let you write a paper. I think I like your imagination. Though I've completely lost track of your swimsuit and the sunscreen in mine.

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Maybe Sunday, or early the next week? We've never been on one of those, have we? Or did prom count? They deserve it. Well. They don't, but I want to anyway. Parker and Rory. Maybe we should just take it up with the admins Principal Washburn?

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

I know. I was really disappointed I couldn't get in this last semester. And I don't go around asking for extra papers. That's an ugly, unsubstantiated rumor Huh. There's not even sunscreen in mine.

Any day will probably work. Although I'm not sure if Caritas is open on Sunday's. But we'll work around that. I think prom might count. But a non-school-sponsored event thing might be nice You're evil hon, and I love you for it. Possibly not Rory. She's convinced that she wants to go to Harvard, so she doesn't think she'll visit. Unless she's visited before; I don't know. We'll do that when you get back.

[janet_fraiser]

Maybe you'll get in next semester? And I'm sure you only go around hinting for extra papers, hon. I was thinking how nice it'd be to put sunscreen on you.

Maybe early next week, then. Or someplace else. There's Ching Tai. I think so too. But some place on our own would be nice. Thanks. That's nice to hear. I love you too, you know. Wait, Rory wants to go to Harvard, so she doesn't want to visit? That makes no sense.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

I hope so. It'll be top on my priorities. Maybe. Senior privilege though, right. And no hints. Really. That could be fun. We'd have to make sure we're both all covered, right?

Ching Tai is good, yeah. It would, definitely. I'm smiling again just thinking of it I know. This is Rory we're talking about. As I said, she might have already visited. She did live in Connecticut, so she wasn't that far to go.

[janet_fraiser]

Hopefully that'll be enough to get you into the class. Are you sure you don't? Because I know you. All over. Every inch of skin. We wouldn't want to be sunburned.

I love Chinese food. Just thinking of prom? It was a lot of fun. You're right. It does make a kind of Roryish sort of sense. We'll have to ask her. Or you could, since you're there.

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it will be. If not, I'll have to ask nicely. I have better things to do with my time than write extra papers. Although not at the moment. Maybe I should find a teacher and ask... Oh no, absolutely not. It's all in the interest of health, right?

And me. So it's a date? An actual date. Yeah. You looked gorgeous that night. I shall ask her, just to make sure. If there's a sizable group going she might decide to join then?
