The forums are taking forever to load ... It's looking bad. Four of my Firefox tabs are just the spinny thing and the word Loading, and they've been that way for minutes. One of them was a post, too.
Help...

AAAH! DATABASE ERROR! My worst nightmare revealed! At least the post is still fighting. It's refusing to quit and still shows the spinny thing and the word Loading.

You're doomed. Utterly doomed. Stay on this board. It's healthier for you.

Oh well. Post for Blind Reflection:
The door slid open and James stepped into the room, his eyes bleary and his hand warm from the mug of hot tea he held. He used to drink coffee until his girlfriend had convinced him to try English-style tea, and he'd never looked back. He looked around and yawned as his eyes adjusted to the darkness in the room. Only the floor lights, small dim electric lights on the baseboards of the room, provided dim illumination. He reached over with his left hand and flicked the light switch, bringing on the overhead lights with a flicker. And he noticed Sun on the couch. His eyes widened. She was lying on the couch, her head on one of the cushions as a pillow, and one of the blankets from Simon's bed was carefully placed over her, reaching form her feet to her shoulders. Sitting on the table were to untouched coffee mugs.
From the kitchen's open door Simon leaned his head into the room and furrowed his eyebrows when he saw James. "James?" he asked quietly, not wanting to disturb Sun. "What are you doing here?" He was dressed messily, almost comically, his hair still wet from an early-morning shower, and he wore a large, loose T-shirt with the words 'AnthCon 2003' on the front over a badly-drawn logo, and on the back the words 'Earth Anthropologists' Convention, 2003'. It had been free and he had procrastinated being given it as long as possible, ending up with, predictably enough, one of the largest sizes. he'd only been there because, as a newly-graduated anthropologist, he had no idea how terrible it would be. He regretted it very much now.
"What is she doing here?" James hissed, moving quickly towards Simon. They spoke in hushed whispers, careful not to disturb the sleeping woman.
Simon put a finger to his mouth. "Shhh, you'll wake her up. Let her sleep. She needs it." He grinned, knowing his friend would misinterpret the statement.
"You mean you ..." James asked, wide-eyed. "No ... you can't have ..."
Simon grinned wider, enjoying himself. "We're going out together as of last night." James sagged back. His friend never ceased to amaze him. Simon couldn't keep it up any longer, and laughed loudly. "No, I'm just messing with you. We were talking in the lab and she came back here for some coffee and passed out on the couch. Nothing happened. Though I am taking her out into the field with me today."
"Right," James said, suddenly lost in thought. "Did you get my-" Simon pointed to the backpack in the corner, which James walked over and picked up with some effort. "This thing's heavy, Simon. What's in it? Bricks?"
"Thick books. With lots of dust on them." He saw James take another look at Sun, on the couch, and he could tell his friend's mind was filled with doubt. He sighed. "Look, do you want to join us for breakfast? I was just making some stuff, and if it'll dismiss all your doubts I'm happy for you to join us. I'm just waiting for her to wake up. She mentioned nightmares, but she's been sleeping like a baby so I don't want to wake her up on her own."
James nodded. It beat eating alone, again. "Sure," he said, taking the backpack and setting it down against the wall again, and both men, standing near the doorway, turned their heads to look at Sun, still on the couch.

Sun shifted in the warmth of the blanket, pulling it a bit more tightly around herself with a pleasant expression on her face. It was so nice. It was one of those mornings where you didn’t want to wake up no matter what you had going on that day. She didn’t even know if it was morning, but she felt rested. The second thing she noticed was that she was not in her own bed, and by turning her head she could see the coffee cup, still untouched. No steam came from the top. She slowly sat up, with her back to the two men. She had not realized they were there. She ran one hand through her long auburn hair to straighten it, and then stretched her arms over her head and let out a soft sound. It felt so good to have slept so peacefully. She should come here more often. She stood up and turned around, and immediately stopped with widened eyes, thoroughly embarrassed she was standing there in nothing more than a white t-shirt and jeans, not to mention just waking up. Even though she felt this way, she felt even more self-conscious considering her height without shoes, even when she really didn’t have a reason to be. It’s the way she felt.
“I…I…” she said, trying to process the thought of James being here as well, and Simon…at the same time, both staring directly at her. She felt her cheeks flush, and the rosy hue brought color to her lightly tanned skin. “Good Morning,” she managed in a melodic voice.
Here is my post
