"Still She Leaves a Light Burning in the Hall..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

Baby, I did stuff to-day.

I got up at crazy o'clock (eight-thirty) and recycled in Newport and went the gym and bought the most amazing balloon for Zara's birthday and yes I do plan ahead why do you ask now shush and then went to a graduation party for the son of one of Mum's close friends--incidentally, did you know they make custom M&Ms? because I didn't, but now I do, and believe that I will use that information to my own ends--and then went to the Oriental house and scraped the paint off the summer kitchen as prep for sanding and painting it. :D I have not been home at all to-day--we got back from Oriental around nine.

Also? I have a shiny. I'll take photographs at some point.

And. What else. OH. TWO CONVERSATIONS OF LIFE SCREWING WITH SOUJIN.

Her: Hey, you're Kay's other daughter, aren't you?
Me: Yes. ^_^
Her: How old are you?
Me: Seventeen.
Her: BAHAHAHAHA. *wipes tear* Seriously, how old are you? Twelve?
Me: ...
Her: Wait, you really are seventeen?
Me: ...Yes.

Me: So I need to ILL Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell.
Her: We have that in the booksale, actually.
Me: Oo! Really? For how much?
Her: Three bucks.
Me: Ooo. Okay. I'll just buy it, then.
Her: 'Kay. *fetches book*
Me: :D I used to have a copy of this, looked exactly like this one, but I lost it. It was sad because I paid sixty dollars for it.
Her: Really? When did you lose it?
Me: About a year ago.
Her: This was donated about a year ago.
Me: ...really now.
Her: Yep.
Me: ...
Her: ...
Me: Did I just buy my own sixty-dollar book back for three dollars?
Her: I believe you did.
Me: GAHHHH.
Her: Ha ha ha! You don't have to pay for it.
Me: OH I BELIEVE I WILL.
Her: HA HA HA.

See? Totally screwing with me. Cripes.

How did JS&MN cost $60? Someone ripped you off! But it is indeed the best book and you must read it. ^__^

That's what I hear. ^^ Um, it was just out and hardcover and at a campus bookstore, I think that's why it was so expensive.

[reconditarmonia.livejournal.com]

Ah. That might do it.

(also, are there any funny-nerdy Arthurian things you can think of that would be good to put on a t-shirt? I'm making them to raise money for my Academic Team. would you buy a "What would Shakespeare do?" shirt?)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Pretty sure.

(hee! I might not buy a 'what would Shakespeare do?' shirt, but. I think it would be a fantastic product and other people definitely would.)

(any silly Arthurian things? I take requests.)

(I absolutely can't think of anything clever. XD Sorry. --except this icon, which pwns all.)

(No problem. My brain is probably weird enough on its own without enabling. Right now I'm putting dinosaurs in togas on Photoshop, though admittedly it was not really my idea.)

(...I LOVE YOU. XD)

(NOT MY FAULT. It's from that Raptors of Rome thread on Metaquotes a few weeks ago.)
