Summary: Rodney's thoughts on paper; this cannot end well.
Authors notes: For scifinut, betaed by slybrarian. Standard disclaimers apply.



Rodney usually said what he thought, and he was fine with that. He considered it a desirable personality trait, and although most people would agree with him, they tended to take issue with the degree to which he applied himself to this particular attribute. He dealt with those people and he didn’t exactly care what they thought, but he never quite realized that there would come a day where he would say something he never expected to say.

He had been in the Pegasus galaxy for roughly three months when he realized that maybe, for some future memoir or for his speech after winning that Nobel prize, he should keep track of those observations that he made that were outside what he would normally say. So he began to keep a small notepad with him at all times, and when no one was looking, he would scratch down those thoughts that he could not escape.

Three years later, and twenty odd pages of notes down the road, Rodney came to the conclusion that maybe he should edit down those notes down. They were rough and some of them had dirty, smudged finger prints on them and he needed to make sure that NO ONE side from him would ever see them

Tearing the pages out of the notebook, he slid them under his desk lamp before painstakingly going through them, and what he ended up with, was a list of five of his own personal observations that needed to be destroyed at all costs, because if someone were to see them, they might just come to the conclusion that he was something other than completely sane.

1- I told Sheppard to stay away from the birds on the mainland. They looked like penguins and if I've learned anything at all from Antarctica it's that anything that looks like those unholy bastards should be avoided at all costs. Now it looks like we have our very own bird man of Alcatraz here in Atlantis. Joy.

2- Strung up like a rabbit. I spent a night strung up like a rabbit with two psychos trying to kill me on a planet with radiation that could KILL ME. Should string the cave man up and see how he likes it.

3- AGAIN WITH FORD AND THE WRAITH. WHY ME?

4- I told them where the horses were, and they still won’t let me go find them but I have to find the horses Carson..hooorssiiieeeesssss.

5- The Ancients sucks, the Asurans suck, the Wraith suck, the Genii suck....is there anything here that doesn't suck?

Leaving the notes on his desk, Rodney walked to the washroom, mind already somewhere else. He really needed to shower. Something about long days in a lab always made him feel like he needed a really long shower. An hour later he emerged, but when he looked at the desk he realized the papers were gone and that in their place was a note from Sheppard.

McKay,

Nice notes. Remember tonight's team night.

-Sheppard

"Oh. Shit."

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. I really had a ton of fun writing it, and when I was done it all just sort of randomly came together.
