"Lips Parting Like a Flag'll Unfurl..."

Bulletin items for to-day!

One. It is kind of inconvenient to have a lightweight car during these winds. XD I nearly got blown off the highway coming here. It's very unnerving, and I have to go very slow, and meanwhile I'm getting passed by eighteen-wheelers going eighty and terrified I'll get swooped into them. May have to take the back roads home; when you're going thirty it's a lot safer.

Two. EXCITING. My metabolism, after three years, finally seems to have levelled out. There was a time, three years ago, when eating a piece of non-diet bread made me gain three pounds overnight. [livejournal.com profile] mhari will remember because of the subsequent hysterics. At any rate, at this point, I can pretty much eat like a normal person without losing or gaining huge amounts of weight. This is really, really exciting, as I am totally ready to eat like a normal person.

Three. We had a snowball fight yesterday. ^__^ And then we made homemade popcorn by putting it in the pan and doing it on the stove. Maria loves this, although it results in a lot of screeching and "CRIPES TAKE IT OFF TAKE IT OFF" and the smoke alarm goes off a lot. But it's very exhilarating.

Finally, in special news, this journal is now a disparagement-free zone. IF YOU ARE COMPLIMENTED ON THIS JOURNAL, anywhere on this journal, you are NOT PERMITTED to diffuse it by saying 'No, I'm not', 'you're flattering', 'I suck at something else', 'actually I suck at this', or 'liar', or any variation thereupon. You can either say 'thank you' or remain silent. If you break the rules, you have to write me fic. >_> So. I expect you to behave accordingly.

And that's a good rule. :)

I think that is an excellent rule. My only question is, will you be abiding by it yourself? :)

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. As sad as it makes me to concede to rules like that, I will be obeying. An example, after all, must be set.

Dearest Soujin,

I got your package of hugeness the other day, and my god. the lollipop. the socks. The little plaster doodad. The SCARF. The Ogden Nash.

You are a princess of amazingness. Also I am wearing the scarf like everywhere now, tucked into business suits. I get compliments.

<3

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Dearest Niya,

OH MY GOD. :D Yay. The most embarrassing part, though, is that I FORGET what the plaster thingy is. XD Oh, God. I am so fail.

<333333333 Scarves are one of the big joys of life, and need to be shared, really.

Boo, wind! Don't blow Soujin away! *smacks it*

Huzzah, good metabolism! Mine appears to be doing the same thing, which is cool, because vegetarianism apparently=carbohydrates like whoa for me. ^_^;; And you're too dear not to have all of the cookies and ice cream and bread and cake that you want. ^__^

Can I refuse a compliment simply to get you to ask me to write fic? :P

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I love strong wind. But not to drive in, apparently.

That's great! It really is awful when you don't know what's going to happen day to day just from eating. I like feeling comfortable with these things.

You sweet thing! ^_~

I'M SO HATING THE WIND. >___< I wish I had some food in my refrigerator so I could avoid going outside again today.

I'd like to take advantage of the new rule to say that you're lovely and brilliant and pretty much the best ever. :)

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooo, yes, that is the thing. Our sidewalk is all over ice, and the snow keeps blowing up so you can't see two foot ahead of you.

>_> Thank you. You're so wonderful. ♥

[identity profile] tomecatti.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I love the wind, but I don't have to drive a light-weight car Xd I wish I were more aerodynamic, though; maybe then it would pick me up like it so obvioulsy wants to when it's making the trees rustle with impatience!

Hooray for happy metabolisms and snowball fights ^_^

You know, in France, it's considered very rude to accept compliments. *nodnod*

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I want to blow away sometimes...!

^____^

♥ Oh, can I call you to-night? There's something I want to tell you.

If you break the rules, you have to write me fic.

pah! DO I NOT WRITE YOU FIC, WOMAN????


it just takes a little longer to distribute.

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2008-02-10 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Extra fic. Other fic. Fic that is not in the ordinary line of things. So so.

I hate riding in cars alongside big trucks, especially on the freeway. The drivers are always so inattentive. Also, I'm extremely paranoid about car accidents, so taking the back roads sounds like a splendid idea to me.

I'm very happy for you re: your metabolism. Eat (and eat and eat), drink, and be merry. ♥ ♥ ♥

Lastly, great rule. Enforce it with great vehemence. *loves and smooches*

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2008-02-13 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not worried about the drivers as much, but you always get hit with their slipstream, and that's sometimes as good as driving in high winds. I get wobbled all over the roads! The problem is, here in the country country, half the back roads are dirt or gravel, so you have to be equally careful, just in different ways.

Thank you! ^__^ It is very exciting to feel like I have personal freedom in this area again; feels like a really really big step towards keeping in recover.

Thank you again! I shall endeavour most endeavourously. *loves*

[identity profile] tiamatschild.livejournal.com 2008-02-11 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I'm glad! *huugsyou*

And that is indeed a good rule.

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2008-02-13 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
All my rules are good. *preens*

Long time no see, beautiful.

I know what you mean. Our car gets blown all over the place. ;-;

Eee, congratulations! *hugs* I'm so happy for you. &hearts

>__> I foresee you getting a lot of fic.

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2008-02-13 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
It's realllly scary when you're doing it. Omg.

^__^ Thank you! ♥

Yes, I'll just pretend you're not the one I was targeting.
