After the disaster that was Thursday, Friday turned out quite well. Had lunch with a friend (sushi and edamame - does anyone know where I can buy fresh soy beans in Wellington other than a sushi restauarant?), and then a fandom dinner at Istanbul with maudlinrose , tamarillow , deepbluemermaid and a bunch of fandom people who we met as fellow fandom people for the first time...

Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given. From atomichatred82 1. The Littlest Emo - Oh man, what can I say about this kid? He's an adventure and a half, a delight and a headache, my heart walking around outside my body and my biggest frustration in the world. The nickname the littlest...

Me, in an email to jessikast about all the stuff I'm burning to DVD for her: Pirates totally > ninjas, right? tamarillow , reading over my shoulder: no, the ninjas would totally win! And then THEY WOULD DIE, because they couldn't sail the ship. Me: internet pirates, dude. *failing all round*

Today I have had a haircut and begun to tidy my room. My hair is now three inches shorter—like, a completely different shape, almost a textured bob—and all my clothes are away. There's still the whole "pick up the random bits of paper off the floor" event to run, followed by vacuuming, and then I am DONE. I think. Except for, like, the rest of the house. But all the washing in the house is all folded...

I, too, have fallen into the slippery clutches of Merlin. I admit it. I was the one who got jessikast and tamarillow started on this dark path. It. Kind of. Like? I have real trouble watching the show—I have real trouble watching television—and all of the awkward looks and bad swordplay frighten me a little. But, oh, the fic . I spent quite a while—that's an understatement, it...

We have high-speed internet again - at least, nishatalitha and I do. tamarillow 's computer did a massive brainfart when we tried to install the wireless network card. I can't get wireless to work on my computer so still have a very long cable running down the hallway, but nishatalitha is all modern and cordless now. It's very exciting. GOD. I have missed home!broadband SO...

Mum and Dad are presumably on their way back from the 'tron, where they dropped Gran off, so she wouldn't have to drive over the plains before driving to Auckland. Gran phoned a couple of hours ago to say she arrived safely and was off to have a cup of tea with some friends, so I expect them shortly. maudlinrose and jessikast are also on their way over. I was dropped in Tauranga...

I'm going away in 15 hours. The cats went off to the cattery today (which I do feel really bad about; they're only just beginning to settle here and now they're in a strange cage place with other cats for 10 whole days without their mothers); I've just packed my suitcase (with toiletries to go, but I can do that in the morning easily enough; and, well, I kind of have the internet. I'm feeling grossly...
