#H&S anniversary

[post-it-notes7]

Happy 3rd anniversary to Heart and Soul!

There may not have been much writing this year, but thank you to everyone for your comments, support, and patience as I've been on break from working on the main series! I love these idiots and their stupid idiot actions that have stupid idiot consequences, and though they've sat cozily on the back burner as of late, the plans for them remain. Cheers to another year, and many more unfortunate instances of MK getting clocked out while GK yells about it. It's what they do best.

Just reminder that this glorious picture exists.

Henry Blake in 'The Interview'

In 2006, Larry Gelbart wrote dialogue imagining Trapper, Henry Blake, and Colonel Flagg had featured in the M*A*S*H episode 'The Interview'. Here is Henry's, with the original available to read here via Google Groups.

REPORTER: How does it feel, having the responsibility for saving such a great number of lives? HENRY: We just take ’em one or two, sometimes maybe twenty at a time. The big trick is not to start thinking of ’em as numbers – as just so many stats that go into a report that winds up in somebody’s filing cabinet under “out of sight, out of mind.” You’ve gotta always remember that what you’re dealing with is hurt people, people that have been run over by a war. REPORTER: And not just – HENRY: You gotta remember to take a peek at the odd dog tag now and then and remind yourself that that dangling leg or busted gut you’re going to try and put back together again is somebody’s dad or son or boyfriend – that all that blood and guts soiling your linen belongs to somebody that’s got a name attached to him.

REPORTER: You can’t afford to lose your sense of humanity. HENRY: There’s just so many senses you can lose over here. REPORTER: Humor not being one of them, obviously. HENRY: Around here laughter’s just crying without the tears. REPORTER: You have a family back home, sir? HENRY: In Bloomington. The one in Illinois, not in Indiana – unless things have changed since I went away. REPORTER: You keep in touch with them, of course, your family. HENRY: We write, we phone. Far apart as we are, I don’t think we’ve ever been closer. REPORTER: Would you like to say hello to them on television? HENRY: Be better if this was kissovision, but, yeah, can I? REPORTER: Go right ahead. HENRY: Lorraine? Hi, honey. Hi, kids. I got your report cards this morning and I had Radar go out post ’em on the bulletin board here so everybody can see why I’m so darn proud of you. Especially how you’re doing in math. You must get those brains from your mom. Got to be. Old as I am, I still don’t know how many tens to give someone for a five-dollar bill. (TO REPORTER) Thanks. REPORTER: That it? HENRY: That’s it. (TO CAMERA) Except I’m counting the days till we’re back together again. REPORTER: You have any idea when that will be? HENRY: I try not to have too many ideas. There’s always someone who ranks you who’s sure you’ll agree he’s got a better one. REPORTER: When you do finally get home, what are you going to tell your children is the biggest lesson being over here has taught you? HENRY: To always try to work things out, I guess. Whatever those things might happen to be. You don’t make your point killing the other guy. Even if you do it’s kind of wasted if the other guys not around to get the message. REPORTER: You seem – if all may so, Colonel – you seem near exhaustion. HENRY: What I am mostly is tired of being tired. We’re supposed to be a hospital but it’s more like a chop shop around here. We’re up to our elbows in people that other people are doing their best to chop down. REPORTER: That doesn’t lead to a lot of sleep, I would imagine. HENRY: I used to think of sleeping in terms of hours. How many did I get last night, how many will I get to steal tonight. I’m down to minutes now. It’s like somebody broke one hand off the clock. REPORTER: Does that ever affect your performance? HENRY: I fell asleep a few weeks ago in the middle of resecting a patient’s bowel. How’s that for exhausted? REPORTER: Does that fishing hat mean there are those times when you do get to get away from it all? HENRY: What it means is that I have to fish for those times. And let me say, the biting’s pretty poor. REPORTER: Business is too good around here. HENRY: Let’s just say it takes a whole lot longer to take a bullet out of a belly than it does putting one into one. REPORTER: Thank you, sir. HENRY: Can I say one more thing? REPORTER: Of course. HENRY: I just want you to know we all here are grateful for this visit you’ve paid us, this attention you’re paying to the job we’re doing. You get the feeling sometimes, being over here that, aside from our families, we’ve kind of dropped off the planet, that we’ve been kind of disinvited to the party – like everyone back home is busy living their real lives and for us to give them a call when we get back to town. (TO REPORTER) That sound too preachy? REPORTER: It sounded just fine, Colonel. HENRY: Henry. I’m a lot more a Henry than I’ll ever be colonel. REPORTER: Thank you, Henry. HENRY: Tell me the truth: didn’t that feel better? REPORTER: You’re an excellent doctor. HENRY: Hey – that’s why I’m over here getting 300 hundred dollars a month.

Don't talk to me or my son ever again.

My incredibly talented friend Rosie (@allcanonisrelative) has been making some ADORABLE Sidney Freedman dolls, and I'm so excited that I get to have a one of my own! This is Lil Sid, he's stuffed with lavender for stress-relieving purposes, and he is the love of my life and has not left my side for a week now. A million out of ten, highly recommend your own little therapy doll for when you need to nuzzle something safe and comforting in this big scary world.

Surprise, it’s the 2nd anniversary of the Heart and Soul series! 

Haha, a huge thank you to everyone who’s been along for the ride, can’t believe it’s been two years now. I may not have gone as insane with writing this year as the previous, but you folks have still been just as kind with your comments, kudos, fanart and lovely support! If anything, I hope I’ve gotten you to fall in love with the kirby series just a little more (and to the GSA fans, hopefully you’ve gotten some food). Here’s to another year of my rivals to idiots nonsense, and as always, wishing you well!

Dating? Never.

Meena: Are you dating Ryan?

Johnny: What? Fuck no, there's nothing going on between Ryan and me. Why would you think that?

Ryan: *walks by*

Johnny: Hey, love! *kisses his cheek* You're looking amazing as always!

Ryan: *kisses Johnny on the cheek, smiles, and walks away*

Meena:

Ash:

Johnny: Anyway, you guys are exaggerating. Stop seeing romance where there is none.
