"Refusing him Vicodin" didn't have enough syllables for my satisfaction, so I've made it "refusing to give him Vicodin." It sounds better in my head and it allows for both interpretations of House's relationship with the drugs.

reading the poem is very satisfying because I could spend hours analysing it.

Now that is a wonderful thing to hear. Yay. (She said, intelligently.)

By all means, friend away. Going by what you've said here, I think it would be lovely to have you on board to take a look at stories before they get posted elsewhere and to chat with on other topics. If you poke around my journal, you'll see the sort of stuff I usually post about. I should warn you, though, that in January I'm going to be posting much more than usual -- once a day at least -- for a month-long communal memory project (just described in a post this morning). So I'd understand if you wanted to hold off until February. Either way, welcome!
