pissed off
and four pictures that prove that life is good - sometimes.

I'm so happy to be loved.
throw me down and light me there
'cause I'm an awful mess
and you love me too
I haven't a care
we're eternity
oh, I feel the sigh on
every breath that's met us here
this night dreams fantastic
and it's ours, my dear
how on earth could you have found me
huddled under grapes of wrath
I will never know but forever I ask
how I got so lucky
all this time proceeding
silent in processional
the words, they escape me through my singing cage
of how I love you too
it's safe
to be alone
and be lonely
but I found a gun
with no safety
and I am going to
shoot down my ghost town
completely
'cause I konw there's a
place for us
I made it, I made it
I am through with sharing all my love
I have outgrown crowding up my house
when you found me, I could not be loved.
but then I found me and I'm happy to be loved.

I must admit...I didn't like the plot of the movie.
I did like the fact that there was another X-Files movie.
But the disappointment in the story hit me hard.
The writers have always been known for non-conventional twists, for the sinister atmosphere they could create and the show was known for its inventive camera angles and spine-tingling soundtrack.
This movie, however, lacked most of that and that made me incredibly sad.
But I loved what they did to the Mulder and Scully relationship. It felt right, realistic and good.
Feelings the rest of the movie unfortunately couldn't provoke...
There still are reasons to absolutely love this movie since it is the ultimate gift the creators of the show could give to all those crazy fans out there - myself included:
- The countless insider jokes -
- Mulder and Scully -
- The Skinman -
- the snow and Vancouver -
- Mulder's jokes -
- Mark Snow's love theme for Mulder and Scully -
- the feeling that along with time the world of the X-Files has changed, too,
which is comforting and scary at the same time -
And I am still "happy as a clam" that my most favorite couple under the stars is doing great and that they are finally getting the vacation they deserve, teehee.

I am posting this short fic because of the resurrection of the X-Files that is now evident. And with it my fangirl-soul was resuscitated as well. Hope you enjoy it. Please do comment :0)
They switch off the lights in their office. Another one of their days is over. I check my watch: 11.13. Pathetic ! Yet I do envy them…because they at least believe in something. And they are not alone.

Genre: Angst, MSR, CD (!)
Rating: PG-13 and some language alert
Kontext: This story was initially written in German for a FanFiction Challenge that required a POV story that was not longer than 500 words and included the words „old“, „orange juice“ and „Quantico“. I won the challenge and decided to share the story with the English-speaking world, though during the translation I had to add a few words, so it's now actually more than 500.
Plot: The story is written in the POV of the Shadow Man who is introduced in Season 9 in the episode „Trust No1“, however this story plays long before Season 9.

Black and white are the pictures flickering through the dark. Like shadows.
I run my hand over my face, rub my tired eyes.
I feel old, broken. It’s a fucked-up job that doesn’t pay off. Not yet. But hope alledgedly dies last…hope…for what ?

They switch off the lights in their office. Another one of their days is over. I check my watch: 11.13. Pathetic ! Yet I do envy them…because they at least believe in something. And they are not alone.
I can never hear them, however, in all these years I have learned to read the expressions on their faces, the glances they share, the light casual touches. I can see the truth for which every one else are blind because of all the noise surrounding them: Their touches are never unintentional or subconscious. And not even the blunt two-dimensional pictures captures on the screen can disguise their magic. I feel it every time their fingers meet, their shoulders brush each other. I feel an insatiable desire for what they share.
They say goodbye in the underground garage. As always he waits for her to leave first, hands buried in his pockets and with this oddly peaceful smile on his lips. In his eyes you can see some kind of obsessive fear of losing her.
It’s pure irony that of all people it’s me who realizes what she means to him. Me, who believes in nothing, who has nothing and how must not have anything. Not even a life.
But today something is different. Today he doesn’t move an inch after she is gone. And then suddenly he slowly walks towards the empty parking space her car has left. He crouches down, touches the ground and smells the greasy film on his fingers. He knows !
A smile edges my lips. But I don’t know why. For I know how it’s going to end.
In 23 seconds….
In 23 seconds….
His hands are shaking as he dials her number on his cell phone. 22…But she forgot her phone in the office. 20….She was distracted, her eyes have been gazing at him in this somewhat playful but smitten way.
Even though my world is all black and white I do know that her eyes are blue. Fluorescently blue like the ocean.

12…11...In 10 seconds I’ll be unemployed.
I glance at the exterior cameras.

He will blame himself for this even though it was her who suggested taking the evidence to Quantico herself. To protect him. Fools.
3…2…1
Just before her car vanishes beyond the horizon of my camera I see the flash: a bright explosion taking only pixels of my screen. I
t’s raining, I see it in the milky shimmer of the street lights. His car abruptly stops in the middle of the road. Chaos emerges around him while he is walking through the rain like a ghost, towards that ocean of flames she, her car and all the evidence are drowning in.

A tear is running down my face. Because I understand what’s been taken from him.
And he understands it, too. Now and…too late.

Yesterday when I - usually known for my kindness and softness - was really rude to a co - worker who was being a total jerk. And I must say it feels good not to swallow your anger and let it out so that it hits the right person.
I just hope this isn't the beginning of a transition into a bitchy alter ego.

There it was: after the last day of my poor unemployed student life came the first day of my career as a doctor.
And was it as bad as I feared it would be ? No.
It was worse.
It was so bad that studying for the exams seemed like paradise in comparison.
And it wasn't even such a bad day from an objective point of view.
I only worked 12 hours, without breaks due to drinking, sitting or eating, but that was actually okay...until the headache settled in around 4 pm.
No, what made it so bad was that all the time I had the feeling I was an actor walking through a theater play without having memorized my text. I had no idea what I was doing ! Seriously.
Most of the times when all the attendings and other doctors stood in the hallways or sat in the conferences talking I thought to myself: What the hell are these people talking about ? Didn't I go to Med School somewhere in the near past ? And when the patients came to me with all those freaking questions I just wanted to shake my head and run away screaming "Don't ask me, I'm way too stupid for this job!"
But all in all I think it was a pretty good first day, because I struggled, I stumbled, I tried my best and I hope I'll get better with time, though at the moment I have no clue where in my head I should store all the knowledge that I will need to become a good surgeon. And where in my heart I should look for the courage to deal with all the responsibility.
I also learned my most important lesson today, too: That you need some balance in your life.
So I went out for dinner and had pasta with truffles and I think I deserved it a little, though in fact I was probably the most useless doctor in that hospital today.
