Well, I'm certainly embarrassed.

qcontinuumI've spent more time than I probably should in a particular alternate universe, and now that I've come home and gotten some distance from the whole thing, I'm beginning to realize that I'm just as affected by the properties of a universe that makes people behave in ludicrous ways as anyone else. The difference being, I don't live there, so *I* have the opportunity to come home and realize I've made a fool of myself.
I am really absolutely mortified. I did something I've sworn up and down I had no interest in doing, and I might well have stuck the Continuum with the results for the rest of eternity. Which was bad enough when I offered Riker a chance to join us, but I thought I'd learned better since then.
I think I'm going to stay here for the time being. Besides, my son from the future is there. (If there's ever any more evidence I needed that that universe warps the judgment of even the Q, it's the fact that I will, at some point, allow my son to go back in time where he can actually interact with the me from his past. This is considered very bad form in the Continuum. The temptation to do something, anything, to prevent him from turning out the way he's apparently going to turn out is nearly overwhelming. Did I mention he's apparently going to be a gendered heterosexual? Great, my child is destined to be a pervert.)
Guinan, by the way, is a twit no matter what universe she's in.

Maybe he needs less supervision and more "guy time" to sort his life out.
A few games of pool, some pizza, a game or two of Proton...
I'm sure Harry'd love to join in the fun too(wouldn't you Harry?).
A trio of guys having a big night out.
It wouldn't hurt to try.

Date: 2003-11-19 03:33 am (UTC)I'm not dropping anything! It's just that wouldn't hurt to help qjr out though. It sounds like he needs the kind of friendly support that...well, that his folks can't provide.
No offense Q, but he looks and acts like how I remember my teens/twenties, and I never wanted my folks around while I went out and about.
And B'Elanna, I meant free time after our free time, not anywhere near taking the time from us.
You know you always come first. Nothing else does, not the Flyer, not Voyager, not even the Captain.
That's how much I love you B'Elanna Torres.
