spam knickers

Well. It's amazing what a mere six-and-a-half hours sleep can do for a person. I tackled today head on like the tricky bastard it was, and now the rest of the week looks, well, survivable, if not exactly full of myriad pleasures and delights. Ha! And I did driving this evening and everything and I did not collapse weeping at ANY POINT during the day! Hooray!

I think I've been having one of my mini mid-life crises this week. Luckily it didn't last long.

Last night I dreamt my dad showed me his novel, and it was really terrible and I didn't know what to say. I think it was about spies in the future, or something. Which, on reflection, sounds ace! My dad actually has written at least two novels. He won't show them to anyone, and he won't send them to publishers because he claims they're 'not ready yet', and anyway, he's incapable of writing a synopsis. Things have remained in this state for a decade, if not longer.

Um ... in case you were wondering, this is all part of my attempt to Post More, so as to in some way justify the money I just spent on 12 months paid journal time, in addition to eventually spamming you all to death. Look out for parade of pointless polls and garish icons coming your way soon.

In conclusion, someone needs to stop [livejournal.com profile] sophrosyne31 from leaving the country, because I say so.

ps. I've got a Black Books box set, so ner.

Plans are afoot, Duckie. Believe me. Plans are afoot.

Whyfore do I not have a shifty icon? *complains*

I read that as your Dad showing you his navel. Now *that's* disturbing.

yes it is, and I can only apologise.

luncheon-meat pants.

I will of course do anything I can in the name of the Cause.

*raises left eyebrow almost imperceptibly*

The only trouble with polls is that I'm too lazy to do them. But I have paid for them so I really ought to get my money's worth.

Yes. A step too far, perhaps.

I have always found that the closer you get to Friday the better things start to look.

Have you forsaken the ducks for squirrels, or is that just a nod to the new Willie Wonka movie? *G*

I've only got the first series of Black Books.

Stamps foot.

[identity profile] sheldrake.livejournal.com 2005-08-03 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
No, never! I found this somewhere ages ago and thought it was funny, so I nicked it and made it into an icon. Because I'm a bad, naughty thief.

I KNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

And: HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello there, Eeyore! I inherited a very small amount of money that I'm not really allowed to spend, so I bought this for myself as a sop, really. Keep myself quiet. But I've only watched the first series so far. Have to make it last.

I must go and make myself a Black Books icon now!

You are a Queen of Poise and I'm glad you're feeling bolshier.

Also, I've been reading history about the part of the country where you live and it sounds far from drab. Next time, I come to you!

And please find an excuse for me to stay. It's nice here. There is stupendously cheap gin and fabulous vegetarian sausages. Also, the company is of the finest.

At first I thought your post said I dreamt my dad showed me his navel whic would of course, be a whole other kettle of fish.

Maybe you could write the synopsis if he'd let you read his novels? Like working with an editor, only it's his darling daughter!

You know you can spam my knickers any time. ^_^

I was thinking of doing one about whether I should buy a bag that looks less terroristy.

This is true

You're the second person who thought I wrote navel. How odd!

Heehee, thanks dear. :)
