zzzzzzz

Back from holiday. Sense of sunkissed zen somewhat crumpled by 12 hours of travelling on succession of manky buses/planes/mankier buses. Have had cup of tea now, though. Mmm, tea.

Tell me stuff what has happened? I have been internetless for 10 days: given that in my absence British people seem to have become good at sport, I hardly dare imagine what LJ has been up to. Linkiness?

Well, my wedding is in 11 days, and I'm trying not to freak about all the packing I still have left to do.

Blimey, that soon? How scary. But good-scary, packing aside. Consider me excited on your behalf.

Do you actually move right after the wedding?

1. Apparently, we are kicking ass at the Olympics?

2. I had a big lump under my arm that the doctors all prodded a lot and agreed was shiny but ultimately just stuck a three-inch needle in to relieve my screaming agony. I then got tested for possible diabetes and came through clear. \o/

3. I am in love with the Riddler.

4. ...My life is so exciting! :D

WELCOME BACK I MISSED YOU. *tackle!hug*

1. This bewilders me. WE ARE BRITAIN. OUR JOB IS TO BE NOBLY USELESS AT EVERYTHING. My Blitz spirit does not know what to do with gold medals.
2. OWWWW. But yay for the not being diabetic and the relieved agony?
3. Mmmmkay.
4. :D

It is quite nice being back, actually: there's tea and television and not having to try to speak Italian at people all day despite not knowing any Italian. And I have missed ye olde flist, indeed. *returns tacklehug*

Before. I'm moving the last of my stuff to NC on Thursday the 28th. The wedding is the 30th.

And yes, I'm pretty excited myself. Eee!!

I GOT TO MEET LEONARD NIMOY.

And Dawn's in danger...

Apparently there was a huge blowup on Korman as well. It amused me muchly

(Personally I can't stand her 'cos she's a twat, and I've met her in RL but others have what are apparently much better reasons)

We've been a bit light on the TW wank of late. Methinks the pot needs stirring.

O Canada! That is indeed a thing and presumably a good one since you wil thus have personal space and such, yes? So yay. :D

You win!

If you don't mind casting "spoilers" for the 2009/2010 Who specials, I linked to some fairly reliable sources and it caused a squeesplosion. Some of those make me so happy I don't even care about the likelihood of Rusty fucking it up.

I met Russell T Davies and he was really nice. And spent 3 and a half hours mooning over David Tennant standing a couple of feet away from me!

My cousin won a gold medal in teh rowings, and I went to Blackpool and posted a photo of the worst ever image of Peter Davison.

Welcome back and stuff though. Yay for you being back (although boo for you that your holibobs are over.)

[identity profile] pontisbright.livejournal.com 2008-08-21 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Dude, I kind of read with my hands over my eyes, and am now pretending not to know anything at all, but - gosh. And fuck yeah. If we get even half of those things I'll be in squee heaven. :)

[identity profile] pontisbright.livejournal.com 2008-08-21 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee! I did giggle at your report. And then felt envious, as you had much better tickets than me. And Rusty sitting behind you. :D

[identity profile] pontisbright.livejournal.com 2008-08-21 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Gosh, a gold medal! V impressive.

Linkage to Petey?

Holibobs very much over, and am under a giant anvil of work now. But I am quite cheered up by the existence of the word 'holibobs'.

[identity profile] gingerelanor.livejournal.com 2008-08-21 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Strange!Petey is on my latest post.

Oh my god, did I actually say holibobs out loud? OH MY GOD! My friend Myrtle Baggins says it, and I must have totally absorbed it into my non-myrtle-speaking psyche. I only hope I haven't said it out loud at work.
