For some reason the past few weeks I've really been pining to go to Disneyland Paris. I'm not sure why. I mean, fair enough, one never really needs a reason to want to go to Disney, whichever country it's in - but even so, I'm been particularly pining. I thought part of it was just missing my regular trips to America to visit my friends - since my ( Read more... )

I love how the two posts that seem to have generated the most comments in recent months are both about food. I guess we all love to talk and share about food!

Of course, it could be because those are my two most recent posts since the friending meme, and so these are the most recent introductions to, well, me for people to comment on and introduce ( Read more... )

Whee, my friending meme got up to #3 on LJ's top entries! Either LJ is really slower than I thought these days, or it kinda took off. /relieved>

My inbox is however way clogged up, what with hosting the thing and all, so I might be a bit slow responding to comments. They're getting a little lost in all the meme notifications!

There are always friending memes floating around - we must save LJ from this slow rot, drag people back kicking and screaming from Tumblr and Dreamwidth if necessary! - and they always seem to be either generic or focused around a particular fandom. But I don't think I've ever seen one out there for the bookworms amongst us. So in classic if-you- ( Read more... )

Does anyone else find it a little jarring coming home from a holiday? It's almost as though home is not quite familiar anymore and it takes a little while to reconnect ( Read more... )

Or are all my posts just really boring these days? Nobody seems to be commenting anymore. I know LJ is pretty dead these days, but still...

It could be me. I wouldn't blame you. Not that I'm, you know, posting here going 'love me! love me!' Just want to know you're all still okay.

Although... Love me?

I'm doing my late night at work on the reference desk, and I am so cold! Apparently some of the insulation in the roof has collapsed, so all the heat is just escaping upwards and getting trapped in pockets. I am not in a heat pocket. The pigeons living in the rafters might be, but not me. *shivers* Can I go home yet?

etacanis is going home tomorrow. ( Read more... )

For some reason I have this really intense desire to go to Disney World today. Like, ohhh, I want to go so badly. I want to get giddy at the sight of Mickey and watch the parade and hear the music and walk down Main Street, USA and eat ice cream in the sun ( Read more... )

Dammit, you know it just occured to me that I can't say that anymore.

*pouts*

For those new friends (and seriously, that was the actual reason for this post and I will get to it in a minute) I've recently moved into a new house, but my previous home was a flat in a converted lunatic asylum. And, slow on the uptake that I am, it's just occured to ( Read more... )

Ah well, two days are better than nothing. It was lovely to have her here at any rate.

We watched S2 of Sherlock - Martin's little faaaace still kills me - and ate prodigious amounts of food (pizza! cupcakes! macaroons!) and gallivanted around in the Peak District, climbed what felt like a mountain up to Peveril Castle, did ( Read more... )
