Yesterday, toasters. Today? The sapphic legacy, apparently.

So, we're watching the end of Who Wants to be a Millionaire after dinner, right (it is pub quiz practice, okay1?!), and Mum went back into the kitchen to put something in the sink, and then this happened:

Chris Tarrant: "The Isle of Lesbos belongs to which country?"
Me: "Greece!"
Mum: "Oh, have you been there?"
Me: *thinks 'In a manner of

Yay! Anniversary!

Also so much love for your use of 'froody' in a sentence. \o/

[shihadchick]

Indeed! It is muy shiny. *grin*

I cannot help but use it every now and then. H2G2 ftw, man. *high-fives you*

[china_shop]

Me: *thinks 'In a manner of speaking!'* "...no."

HEEEE! ♥

(G/T FTW!!! When are you expecting to arrive, again?)

[shihadchick]

It was like, the most perfect straight line (heh) ever. Things like that normally only happen in movies! *amused*

(Yes!! And, at the moment, Some Time on Friday - discussions are in motion as to whether we fly down, or drive down late Thurs or early Fri. *does not win at organising, yet*)

(Wooo! So a DS-type lounging around watching stuff thing on Friday night might be a go? \o/)

[shihadchick]

(I hope so, yes. I thoroughly intend to leave, like, at LEAST four hours earlier than we did last year this time, if nothing else, so... we should be there by early evening at the latest, hopefullyhopefully?)

Honey that is just nutty! A 1/4 of your life?! You are so much cooler than me. I just worked out my magic number and it's 1/16. But I am old.

happy anniversary!

[shihadchick]

Dude, I know! And shoemaster is on like 1/3, because she's been on LJ pretty much as long as me, but from a much younger age. I got a giant headstart by being here since, you know, 2001, so.

thank you! and hopefully will get a chance to see you/say hi at least next month!

[woolly_socks]

Yeah I'm hoping to come to as much as I can. I've been real sick, worse than last year, but I'm not working so that might help. I might be there and just a bit non-verbal, but I can't miss a chance to see people!

[shihadchick]

*crosses fingers like whoa* And, yeah, it sure sounds that way from the reading-my-flist perspective of what I can see, but hopefully... *snugs you long-distance now, anyhoo!*

I love your Isle of Lesbos line. You Win!

[shihadchick]

And I suspect, were I out to my mother by now, that she would've found it funny, too. Hee. :D

1Allison observed, in Melbourne, that my posts lately can be pretty much summarised as "work, work, work, pub quiz, work". I am both amused and a little stricken at the accuracy of this comment. HEE.

And regardless of that, we adore you. So there. (grin) Besides, you in fucking New Zealand. To people like me, your incredibly EXOTIC.

Awww, you guys. *blush* *snugs you* And, well-- okay, I'd put in something here taking the piss about how we have a land bridge to Australia and electricity comes from hooking my brother up to a treadmill for the generator, but I suspect no one would quite believe me, these days. (True story: someone on a mailing list actually believed that years ago. HEE.)

I love that! Although I have to admit, I've had to debunk some misconceptions about Florida, even some held by Americans who should know better!
