Things

[louiselux]

cygny - thanks so much for your postcard. It's lovely - it really made me smile so much.

daegaer - I posted you the second half of Samurai Champloo today (and a very very special pen I bought at Worldcon just for you), so that should be with you soon.

ETA: scans of the new, long, long awaited chapter of Saiyuki Gaiden aka The One Where They're All in Heaven. Much squeefulness!

The Mountie obsession continues, and I'm consuming fic at a scary rate as a way to pass the days. If it's long and worth printing out I've been reading it. I feel like this level of consumption is not really healthy but at the same time I can't truly bring myself to give a damn because of the cosy duvet factor. A warm, comforting sort of fandom, very much like the show, which I love to bits. Although I'm now straying into the areas of dodgy porn in my trawl for fics. I just think 'briny' is not a very sexy word. Briny.

PostSecret - people send in anonymous homemade postcards with a secret written on them. Some are very moving, some are funny. Some of them (but let's be clear, not the one about the bra and marbles) gave me a little start of recognition-- that's my secret too, or that secret was mine once.

My arm is starting to feel a lot better! So I spent a little time today at the keyboard filling in a meme. Oh yes. I'm taking the whole sitting at the computer thing very slowly, as I'm sure it's just the worst thing for my arm, but hopefully soon I'll be back to typing.

Meme, yoinked from yonmei and others.
1. When you look at yourself in the mirror, what's the first thing you look at?

The wrinkle on my forehead

2. How much cash do you have on you right now?

None.

3. What's a word that rhymes with "TEST"?

Pest

4. Favourite plant?

I tend to go wild for plants that smell or that have nice things on I can eat, so it's too hard to pick just one. The smell of lupin flowers (sweet but peppery) are like Louise nip, but I love jasmine too and once I start sniffing crushed chamomile leaves I can't stop. It'sa problem. Mulberry trees, because they bear the most delicious fruit ever.

5. Who is the 4th person on your missed call list on your cell phone?

Don't recognise the number

6. What is your main ring tone on your phone?

Very boring trilling noise - I have a cheap phone

None! Exciting huh? Am currently dressed in my aubergine bikini.

Yes, each morning. 'Please look after this bear.' It never fails.

H&M flip flops

10. Do you prefer a bright or dark room?

Depends on the activity and my mood

I sat in the garden and the spiders spun webs from my knees!

Talking

14. What did your last text message you received on your cell phone say?

Don't know because I deleted it. (see: cheap phone)

Fuck it.

My mum, yesterday morning.

Ahem.

19. How many hours a week do you work?

20. How many rolls of film do you need to get developed?

Piles of the fucking things. Some of them date from the last millenium.

Gojyo, Sanzo, Goku and Hakkai pouting at me moodily.

Thanks.

25. If you had to choose between a million bucks or to be able to go back in time and fix all your mistakes which would you choose?

Oh my god I'd take the money.
