A funny thing happened (on the way back from Aldi)

Mar 17, 2015 19:29

I've been wretchedly sick for the last few days. Caught a cold and while I was at home I was crawling around moaning for people to kill me, enough that I suspect my family at least, wanted to grant my wish. Anyway, I dragged myself out of what is rapidly becoming less of a room and more of a lair stuffed with tissues and strepsils, and all the way ( Read more... )

Nothing wrong with Auden in the least. It's just he somehow became my go-to for titles, the poor man. I'm not 100% certain he'd have enjoyed some of his best lines going to sanctify Sam/Dean porn. Or maybe he would have. To prove no hard feelings have a look at this handy titling flowchart I made some time back http://stripytights.livejournal.com/41712.html

Titles are the worst. I don't think I've ever found a good one (unless it's stolen from Auden).

Mm excellent point. I can rest easy on that front.

Yes! Now I have two bottles. 100% better than one. I couldn't reply to your entry as regards paddy's day but perhaps LJ will co-operate now. I live in a quiet close and there's still shouting. Plus some attempt to use the central ground for fireworks, foiled by the fact nobody (reasonably enough) wants to be in the cold.

Oh gawd, this is probably even worse but the first thing that came to mind for your Gen/Danneel was - Dining out, Eating In. Or Eating Out, Dining In ...which is probably even worserer! LOL

Hahaha. It has a ring to it! It's certainly more memorable than this. At least a joke title I can claim it's intentional :D

I mean, it's hard to go wrong with Auden. Which is to say I am no help, sorry. Titles are hard!

Titles are very hard - there's a knack to them. Soon I'm going to give up and use Auden for everything. It won't have to be relevant, just Auden.

It's a little disconcerting to have the bottle turn up, but perhaps he/she gave it to a colleague/friend who did know where you lived :) I am feeling the ickies pain, cos this cold is kicking my ample ass!

stripytights March 18 2015, 09:37:44 UTC

But that's the thing - I'm pretty sure no-one knows where I live. It's just not information I hand out. The mystery deepens.

Aw man, feel better soon. Is it just me or are the early spring colds way worse than the winter ones? Or am I just thinking that because the winter ones are past haha.

milly_gal March 18 2015, 09:41:25 UTC

Nope, nope, see the Winter ones are expected and even warranted, I mean it's Winter, we're meant to get ill. The spring ones are a complete bitch because we've been LULLED into a false sense of non icky security, lol! I actually had to call in today, the best I'm gonna manage is, computer, loo, computer, kettle, computer, sofa, no necessarily in that order!

Hmm, okay that is quite freaky! Maybe ask where he found the info?
