O Happy Day!!

First, the random outburst:
I want some brownies. Or cake. Or something. But all the easy recipes have baking powder in them, and I don't have any. There's one that involves just mashing together raisins and carob powder, but I do not own a food processor. I can't use substitutes in a non-vegan recipe, or even just make a bowl of icing and eat it

No probs. I iz glad I kanz maek u squee XD
(I'm using that smiley far far too much.)

Saved you a bit of searching:
I fell in love with it as soon as I heard it. It might actually be my favourite Bowie song. Either this or We Are The Dead

Ooh! It's very nice.

You know, actually, I like some Eminem stuff too. I was obsessed with Like Toy Soldiers earlier this year. And actually, I like some rap in general. Not much, but some of it. I just meant it was clever cos she managed to make it work and not sound weird. Also, the one she covered is about murdering his wife... which is, well, interesting. But she pulls it off. I love her.

*snort* I would love it if I saw someone painted silver in a supermarket.
Actually, the handcuffs in the restaurant is pretty classic, too.

Yes. That is why we no longer live with our parents. So we can do stuff they don't approve of! *evil smile*

Ha, like an idiot, the whole rap/non-rap thing did not occur to me. My brain just doesn't work a lot of the time.
I actually got disappointed when I heard the stuff he'd done with D-12 and things like that. It was like he was just becoming every other rapper. Rap can be poetry, but most of the time it's not used like that. I think that's why I can't help loving the Gorillaz- it's intelligent music, and the rap works so well with it.
Also, I may have to find this cover. It sounds legendary.

I was looking rough that morning. But still silver. Like a hung-over alien.
Hahahaha, when we were paying when I had the handcuffs on, Chess wanted me to look at the cashier and say "I've been a bad girl". I'm kind of wishing I had, lmao.

Also, testamount to the last bit- if my parents knew half of the things I've gotten up to at uni, I swear they would have heart attacks. Or at least become something close to less protective.

I would be very jealous of you if you owned a bowler hat. I'm not sure I have the face for a round hat - I do love my fedora and would wear it more often if it wasn't for the hassle it gets me in Barnsley - you'd think people had never seen anyone wearing a hat before.

I do have a walking stick-umbrella, which I adore - an automatic one which is black with a pink lining, and looks pretty dapper when I carry it while wearing my black suit. I could do with a new suit, actually - I pretty much live in my black trouser suits when I'm teaching, but this school's uniform is black trousers and blazer, and if I'm not careful I get mistaken for one of the kids (even some of the Year 7s are taller than me!)

[thingogram]

You get hassle just for wearing a hat? Holy christy! They're hardly unusual. I will never understand people.
My mum's always going on about how she can't wear hats at all, but she just can't seem to get it that a fedora was never meant to be worn right back on your head.

And I'm jealous of your umbrella. If I wasn't fast approaching skintness, I'd get one. We could go out all film noir :-D

Year 7s get smaller every year (or at least they did in my school), so eventually, you'll be in luck.

In Barnsley, 'hat' means baseball cap or woolly hat. Things with brims are practically witchcraft!

Actually, most of the time I just get stared at (and have learned that the best thing to do is give a big cheesy grin to anyone who stares too long). Occasionally I do get comments, in which case (if I'm feeling brave enough) I often doff my hat to whoever's said it and tell them how wonderful it is to be recognised for the freak that I am.

Year 7s do tend to start out tiny and squashable, but something seems to happen around November and they put down roots and shoot up like weeds! I have about three months, if I'm lucky, of being able to look down at them.

[thingogram]

Hahahaha, o god- the image has just popped into my head- The Barnsley Witch Trials. A crusade against black magic and tasteful headgear!

I do love your response to them. You're a legend XD

Hmm, Burntwood must just breed midgets then. Aside from the odd few ,they were all tiny until Year 9. Maybe you should just wear massive boots and hide them under really long trousers.

[violence4]

WAISTCOATS FTW!! I love em.

I'm actually planning on staying in Brum as long as possible - anything to avoid relatives at Christmas time, haha. So even if Emily can't stay we could still lurk about there.

[violence4]

YAY!!

And YAY re: Kentish Town. I went to school right by Kentish Town. It's a really easy journey from Islington =]

[thingogram]

That is weird... I'm getting them, so I wouldn't think it's their server.
Maybe you should send them a message, just in case this moving thing has done something weird to you specifically somehow.

Aye, I suppose so... a full fitted suit'd be difficult tho, especially at my size. I suppose by the time I can afford to have myself measured and get one tailored for me, I'll have the confidence to do it.

LONGER FAMILY TIEMZ FTW!!! W00PW00P!!

[violence4]

I'm not getting them either, so I don't think it's just you.

Stupid lj.

Anyway.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY WE CAN HAZ MOAR FAMILY TIMES!!!!
