Happy list

[jadesfire]

Well, it worked yesterday...

1. Lovely barbeque with friends last night. The weather held, my antihistamine held, and I was only bitten by one ant. Not too shabby.

2. This article. I love Caitlin Moran's writing, and I love Gok Wan. Brilliant piece.

3. This article. rustydog, there some more signs for your collection...

4. It's moderately sunny here, even if it's freezing inside thanks to the air con.

5. Good natter over coffee with someone I haven't seen in a while. I recommend it as a way to start the day.

6. Slimming World tonight, which I always enjoy, even if I haven't lost.

7. Fic posted and out of my head.

8. Other fic starting to cooperate now that I've given up any hope of making it do what I want. It's definitely easier if I let it write itself.

9. Lunch with another friend tomorrow. At this rate, I'm going to have a social life. Scary.

10. Another list of happy things!

On the other hand, I'm tired enough to sleep at my keyboard this morning, thanks to my own complete inability to count. My antihistamines are supposed to be non-drowsy, but they also last for 24 hours. So taking one at 6.30 last night, and another at 7 this morning means I've taken twice the dosage, and even non-drowsy tablets start to make you sleepy after that. *facepalm* Ah well, as long as I don't operate heavy machinery or try to think too hard, it should be fine...

...were you planning to operate heavy machinery?

Also, I'm pretty sure your fic isn't about Gok Wan. Not unless you changed it... Might want to fix that link ;)

Get you with the social life! Glad you're still feeling positive, despite the antihistimine overdose...

...does the computer count, because apparently I shouldn't be operating that...

Heh. There's a crack-fic prompt for you :) Fixed, thanks.

I know! It's weird, quite frankly. Who are all these people and why do they want to talk to me? Probably doing a lot for the still-positive feeling, as is the thought of having Friday off :D

[miss-zedem.livejournal.com]

szm's post just reminded me that I didn't say thanks for the postcard *facepalm* - it arrived on Saturday! Or maybe even Friday...

Gok Wan makes over Jack? Oh dear Lord...

Nice to see some happy lists :) And don't sleep on that keyboard for too long, the pattern it leaves on your face is quite embarassing... believe me, I know ;)

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

There could be a moaning list as well, but I've decided to concentrate on the happy one :)

Four coffees later, I think I've reached a chemical balance, so hopefully no danger of acquiring interesting patterns, although I shall bear the warning in mind...

[miss-zedem.livejournal.com]

Also leads to interesting passages of typing in word documents... Not that I've ever done that, of course :S

I'm still waiting for Shakespeare to come out of it ;)

[avon-09.livejournal.com]

Hi sweetie. Fic link is not the right one.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Thanks - it is now! :)

[avon-09.livejournal.com]

Happy Daze!

I've just had a moment to browse those signs. Fantastic! Makes me want to travel again just for the signs. I should go back through my collection from China, whoah...

I'm glad the happy lists are helping, and yay for coffee. :)

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

They're great, aren't they? Definitely a "did they really do that?" kind of moment.

Happy lists are happy ;) Coffee helps to a degree, but can't wait to get home and sleeeeeeeeeep...

[matsujo9.livejournal.com]

Icon love.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Hee. It's great, isn't it? I'm a Top Gear Addict and just couldn't resist...

[matsujo9.livejournal.com]

I spent the majority of yesterday watching the mini-marathon on BBCA. I don't even really like cars and I love the show.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

I was never even vaguely aware of cars, I disagree with most of what Jeremy Clarkson says, but it's just so funny. I'm now watching the new series on the BBC iPlayer, and keep having to hold in the giggles from my colleagues...

[matsujo9.livejournal.com]

Exactly!

*snort* CCTV sign on George Orwell Square. That's brilliant.

I'm hoping it'll be cool when I get to work. The one of the A/Cs broke thursday around noon- so we had no air in the back offices, but the main area was mostly fine (guess where I work though?) and on Friday it was stifling. In theory it was supposed to be fixed yesterday, I don't work Mondays though, but I'm a wee bit nervous as to whether or not they actually fixed it.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

It was definitely the best - just genius.

Ooh, that doesn't sound so good on the temperature front. We've more or less got ours sorted now, but the main library is chilly still. Although that's why we get lots of readers in the summer!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I'd rather be cold than hot, so a cold library sounds lovely to be!

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

*nods* me too! You can always put another jumper on, but at some point, you run out of layers you can take off...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

That is EXACTLY the same thing I said to coworkers friday! (Well, I said clothes, not jumper, but same thing!)

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Hee.

Mind you, some of the readers seem to have adopted the 'fewer clothes the better' approach. I mean, it's on the British summer, not the Bahamas. Seriously, sometimes even I don't know where to look...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

there are some people you see that you wonder what they were thinking when they went out of the house like that

[rivers-bend.livejournal.com]

yay for happy lists! boo for too many tablets.

I'm so with you on letting fics write themselves. I only wish i could plan them. *sigh*

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Hee. On the plus side, I'm happy, if dopey. On the downside, work? What work?

I've given up trying to plan fics. I'm sticking with character+cliche=story, which seems to work for me :)

[nightdog-barks.livejournal.com]

Jades! My postcard came yesterday!

So pretty -- thank you!

*hugs postcard*

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Hee. It could get rather crumpled!

Glad it got there - thanks for letting me know :)

[idontlikegravy.livejournal.com]

That icon is just brilliant! ROTFLMAO

And with the new series back as well.

Any chance I could snaffle?

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Help yourself! Just get the maker from my icon page for credit - I snaffled it from dark_aegis, I think :)

[idontlikegravy.livejournal.com]

Merci Beaucoup :)

*SPORFLE* at #20 in the gallery of 94 signs! That ought to be in some truly horrible slashfic somewhere!
