This morning, Mr. Foxx and I began a six week fitness boot camp at our gym. This includes, among other things, running two miles nearly every day and basically throwing out every single piece of tasty food in our house. I must also give up caffeine. While I've seen first-hand several success stories from this program, OMG NO COFFEE FOR SIX EFFING WEEKS. ;____; I better look hot on November 1st. (In all seriousness, my goal is lose fifteen pounds and at least a couple of inches off my waist. Also, to not run a mile in the same time I ran it in the sixth grade, because that's just pathetic.)
This also serves as a warning to my flist that, um, I will probably be babbling about working out and my diet for a while. /o\
In non-working out news, I have been rewatching the first season of Fringe all week, and now I think I'd like a story where Jon is an empath who doesn't sense other people's emotions, but instead projects his emotions onto them. He's always had this ability since he was a kid, but he's learned over the years how to control it...until he meets Panic, and then everything falls out of whack. The worst is being unable to hide the fact when he's attracted to someone, because he never knows if it's real or not when the person reciprocates the feeling. And suddenly he starts noticing Spencer blushing more around him and laughing awkwardly at things Jon says, and fuck, Jon really hates his damn empathy sometimes. But he's not about to screw things up (and maybe his frustration with himself rubs off on Brendon, which is never good), so for a long time he keeps himself in check, no matter how much Spencer acts like he wants this. Then, the split happens, and it's impossible for Jon to hold it all in; his anger and hurt and frustration filters through the whole band, and it's not surprising when Spencer and Brendon refuse to be around him. Ryan deals with it by learning to instantly detect Jon's shifts, and when his moods are especially dark, Ryan locks himself away from him until Jon settles down. Jon uses Twitter as an outlet, because he can't infect people with his mood swings through the internet, thank god.
And even though Brendon has always been the most susceptible to Jon, and Ryan can read him the easiest, it's Spencer who can feel him the strongest, over distance. Brendon always knows when Jon's called Spencer in the weeks after they decide to break, because Spencer is so damn sad. It was especially hard when they all met up over the Fourth of July; Jon's a mess of emotions, and on top of it all he's lonely and a little horny. Like in the old days, Spencer's cheeks flush when he sees him, and his eyes go a little darker, and Jon kind of hates himself. But maybe Spencer bites his lip and lets himself touch Jon's arm and whisper, "Hey. Me, too, all right?" Not that Jon really believes him, but it's nice to hear.
IDK, there's a happy ending somewhere in all the angst. I should really go to bed.

Fringe was good. I'm starting to think that the cow thing is a tie-in for advertising for Chick-fil-a and that story with empath!Jon sounds angsty but really good.

How can Jon ever truly know that Spencer really has his own independent feelings for Jon? What could provably temporarily block Jon's abilities so that he could then see that even without it Spencer still wants him and it's not, like, residual or Pavlovian or something? ....Oh, does Jon have tons of one night stands or does he totally stay away from sex with anyone because it would be so wrong?

I would read the hell out of that fic if someone were to write it. Just sayin'.
