The WeatherPixie

Everything that happens in this journal is fictional. This is not real. Bobby is a completely original character. This LJ was created to interact with other RPG journals in the [info]sv_journals RPG including [info]college_model and [info]onethird_oflove though the characters now have their own community [info]la_journals The character himself was created by me for an original novel. Which will be finished one day. I have no idea when.

Entries in this journal may contain sexual descriptions of a (mostly) homosexual nature. You must be eighteen to read those entries.

The userpic is of Joaquin Phoenix, best known for appearing in movies such as Gladiator, To Die For, Signs and Buffalo Soldiers among others. He is how I picture Bobby in my head. And yes. It's very ironic that Bobby has a crush on Liv Tyler (who used to date Joaquin). But who am I to argue with my own character about his excellent taste in female celebrity crushes?

The inspiration for the character, including his name, is this song (which I see as being from Luke's POV):

Me And Bobby McGee
(Kris Kristofferson)

Busted flat in Baton Rouge
Headin' for the train
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
Just before it rained
Took us all away to New Orleans

I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
With those windshield wipers slappin' time
And Bobby clappin' hands we finally
Sang up every song that driver knew

Freedom's just another word
For nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin'
But it's free
Ah, but feelin' good was easy Lord
When Bobby sang the blues
Feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

From the coalmines of Kentucky
To the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me Lord
Through everything I done
And every night (s)he kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord
I let her (him) slip away
Searchin' for the home
I hope (s)he'll find
And I'd trade all my tomorrows
For a single yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine

Freedom's just another word
For nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin'
But it's free
Feelin' good was easy Lord
When Bobby sang the blues
Feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee


For anyone interested in reading the 'official' story of Bobby and Luke, I'm writing it as my NaNoWriMo novel, and I have a journal for it at: http://www.livejournal.com/users/joannenanowrimo - it's friends-locked, but I'll add you back if you add me.

Luke also has an LJ. It can be found at http://www.livejournal.com/users/lukerush
