If you want some classy anime to try and change your mind, may I recommend Elfen Lied? Very dark, very gory, has been described as "barely disguised hentai" but the plot draws you in and keeps you there, as there are so many questions waiting to be answered. It's the only anime to ever make Mr Maladicta cry.

Also, there's something bizarrely appealing about a girl who will slice you to bits with invisible arms one minute, and regresses into an innocent being who can only say "nyuuu" the next.

I have spent the last four years cultivating a healthy love of Eddie and an encyclopaedic knowledge of his standup. My one complaint about Mr Maladicta is that he doesn't find him funny. He likes Bill Bailey, and I thought the two would go hand in hand, but alas the boy prefers Lee Evans and Al Murray.

( wanderlust, Thu 17 Jul 2008, 20:31, Reply)

^ Short of the fact she knows my b3ta username and has one of her own that she never uses,
I have no idea how she would know. Any LiveJournal posts I make about it I've locked so she can't see them, and I never speak to her, so there is no way she can have known we were moving there as the last I said to anyone we were either staying here or moving to Margate. I may have mentioned to her that I wanted to work for Eurostar in the dim distant past, but not recently.

The only other thing I can think is what happened when she saw I'd written something not exactly complimentary about the way she treated her "ex" on the Greatest Regrets QOTW (I've since apologised to him and made it clear I'm nothing to do with her) and mentioned something about appearing normal to people while plotting vengeance... for her, this would be appearing to act as if nothing happened between us, then having the satisfaction of acting upset when told to fuck off because "I'm only being friendly..."

Don't worry about the can of worms thing: I wouldn't mind but I saw her - and she blanked me - at graduation last week, so I was relieved I didn't have to speak to her, and figured that would be the last I'd ever see of her, so that has irritated me.

Rabbits do indeed sit by themselves rather well, but don't fare so well when they're left to fend for themselves in cages when their owners go on holiday for 3 weeks. So for half an hour each morning and half an hour each evening for a set three weeks in august I'll be heading to her house to check on them, feed them and clean out their cages.

I could make it so... Amazing what you can do with flies these days. I'm currently covered in mozzy bites, you could play join the dots on my right leg...

@ citadel, as long as it's not one of *those* dreams. Oh, wait... :)

Excellent
happy, amazing, ecstatic, drunk.

I do have tinternet and it works like a dream.

I am a little drunk because a friend just got rejected for her dream job in New York and needed to drown her sorrows.

Other than that I had an interesting conversation with a tramp who lives in the local cemetary and claims that he was woken up at 3am in the morning by white robed devil worshippers dancing around a tree.

He was swigging Special Brew when he told me that tho.

@Spak, new empire? Where? Do we get to plunder?

not sure I believe him on the devil worshipper thing... not sure that sort of thing happens in around here. It might make the neighbours blush and we can't have that can we?

Reasonably happy
Was making reasonable progress with bike until the pedal crank came off and won't go back on, but that's because I couldn't get the main part I needed, and need to wait until I come back from Bristol now.

But I didn't fall off when I was cycling it.

How's you?

revenge in the end.

Enough was done by themselves when the fell out over the glasses they bought for a barbeque. I just sat and listened. It was great.

Do you know
you get a nice class of scary homeless guys here. One carried my shopping to the bus stop for me, despite me telling him, repeatedly, I had no money on me. His reponse was that he couldnt sit by and watch a lady struggle with heavy bags.

I didnt have the heart to disillusion him. :)

EDIT: hey PoD. Things are good and warm. I finish work tomorrow, I'm a bit scared! Especially as my boss was nice to me today, which doesnt happen very often. I didnt get the job I applied for and his response was "meh, they're idiots, you'll get a much better one..."

how's you?

I'm away off to Bristol to play at some ceilidh, but only actually going to be there for about 17 hours.

offered me cake or death the other day.

I think I've got through to them. :)

They're pretty chilled on the whole, some of the nicest people I've met. I'm going to be dead sad to leave them. And so generous, I;ve never been invited for dinner so many times in my life...

Bristol is indeed far away
So I am getting the train to Glasgow then flying down on Saturday morning, then flying back up on Sunday morning, then getting a train back down home.

But then again, I'm driving to near London next Friday.

Are we still going..?
We've been outside smoking boy scouts.

Erm, anyway. Yeah. Getting married. Again. Small do followed by a big bash. Well, to be honest hlt's b3ta bash in Edinburgh... You're welcome to come. As long as you don't make a mess...

We're also having a big party the week after, hopefully with these bands...

www.allshinenoshoes.biz

www.folkstomp.com
(actually called the Jack o'Ryan band - Geordie Pogues - Irish/folk/punk).

Yay. I'm off work tomorrow. More wine? Don't mind if I do. Now, where'd I put me burberry whippet..?

(Rakky (forgot her password) The muffin maverick, Fri 18 Jul 2008, 0:44, Reply)

Yeah, for another ceilidh
Going to the full wedding, and then doing the ceilidh at night, grabbing a few hours sleep then driving back up again on the Sunday. I really hope the roads aren't busy. And that I don't get lost.

And yes, travel costs shall be had.

Nearly done in America now, Rakky?
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Fri 18 Jul 2008, 0:46, Reply)

This time in two weeks
I shall be queuing up to board my plane home, sticky boarding pass in hand.

It's gone so quickly. Seems like last week I was round at rachelswipe's eating thai food and discussing what my flat would be like and who i might meet etc.

And it's been ace. Hard work, with the 70 hour weeks and the hideous 6 month winter, but totally worthwhile. I'd move back here like a shot.

EDIT: i won't tell him, i dont want to be found bound and gagged in the back of his car. not again...

1st of July last year. I haven't had decent cider since. Which for someone who spent a goodly proportion of their adult life in Bristol is not good...

I may actually appear on here tomorrow night as I'm taking my pda and staying at my brothers, so will steal his wireless for the night.

( Maladicta, Fri 18 Jul 2008, 1:02, Reply)

Night PoD
Ancrenne,

I went to uni for 3 years in Brizzle, then had a bar job for a while and then did a 3 year postdoc there. I love the place. I remember the Corrie Tap, with ice and a slice of lemon in me cider very fondly. Well, I say remember. I've lived in Bedminster / Southville and Clifton Village. Most of my good friends are still there. But, for shame, I'm actually from just where the Open Golf is being held this year, near Birkdale...
(Rakky (forgot her password) The muffin maverick, Fri 18 Jul 2008, 1:04, Reply)

Quite alright my dear ancrenne
Shame I wasn't here for a large amount of the evening. Ended up watching Mr and Mrs Smith with friends.

That's right, real life friends.

Hope y'all have a good night.

^ I figure I won't always not have to get up
so I'm still on student time while it lasts, up till 2 usually either on here, on Facebook, or both, and on MSN bobbling my head to music. It's a peaceful life and my campus is full of vicars and nuns.

Ew, you dirty beast!
( Cawl, Fri 18 Jul 2008, 1:12, Reply)

for your
really dry local cider, I quite like a slice of lemon. Plus you can convince yourself its non-alcoholic.

We took a visiting professor to the Corrie Tap one night, they sell a lethal cider called "Exhibition" which is like loopy apple juice. They only sell it in half pints. After a couple of these (plus some beer in the Avon Gorge Hotel) he went to the bar to get the next round.

"Three pints of Exhibition please"
"sorry sir, we only sell it in halves"
"really, oh, in that case, I'll have, er, 8 halves..."

Nicely done. One of the guys we were out with has no recollection of going home. But he woke up the next morning clutching a barbie doll...

That's classy.
