Right, proper update - where were we? Ah off to visit thesme_01.

I had a very lovely evening with Thesme and Mr Thesme. We talked, we drank fizz, we talked some more, drank some more, ate Delicious Dinner prepared by Mr Thesme, drank some more, ranted drunkenly, exchanged presents, drank some more. Thesme's present to me was a very nice Star Trek (original series) Calendar.
After dinner and drinking, and once Mr Thesme very wisely retired to bed, she insisted on... personalising it for me. Which was Very Thoughtful of her. She also insisted I help. The result is a calendar which cannot be displayed anywhere where any normal human being might ever happen to see it.
So probably my bedroom ;p
Then there was more talking (well, ranting), more fizzy wines, chocolate and Firefly watching. A very successful evening I feel.

After that there was more idling, a visit from S. who used to ride ziggy before she ran off to America, which also involved fizzy wines and cider, catching up with other horsey folk and yet more idling.

For New Year's Eve the plan had been go back down to Dublin and see friends there. But it was a horrible horrible day, tehre was a degree of hungoverness and a strong desire to not leave the house at all. Thankfully the friend I was due to visit felt much the same way and we very happily called it all off.
Instead spent a lovely evening at home, with alcohol, in the company of (thanks to teh wonders of teh intarweb), Thipe, Malvino, being_here, Gnillot and various others, before retiring some time around 3 to my own bed. Definitely one of the most civilised ways to spend NYE I've found yet.

The only tricky part was explaining to my mother that while yes, I was technically on my own, I was not actually being anti-social, sadly alcoholic or avoiding the family, I was just being lazy. And comfortable. And having a very nice time with it ;)

Back at work now. Bored. WOE and WAILY and so on.

will there be private viewings? i would be keen to see this Artistic Masterpiece. (also, i now have a scanner in the house if you wanted to share the beauty and wonder with a wider audience)

i am back at work tomorrow. and today? i have been Struck Down with Germs. *sniff*

p.s. i am also intrigued to hear that you know normal people, and indeed, allow them in your house.

[hellison.livejournal.com]

I am sure a viewing could be arranged. Tho given that by the time we got to the... creating of Art, we were well on the way thro bottle no.3, some of the comments are quite tricky to decipher.

And as for the Normal, well calendars normally go in the kitchen so all manner of folks could see it there, plumbers and Gardener George and the like. And of course, the Mother who, while not exactly Normal, is not of the brand of Odd that would really appreciate Thesme's artistic representations of Kirk/Spock.

Bah, where is my Callum/Uhura icon when I need it?

you neglect to mention the late night texting. And phone calls.

*raises eyebrow*

I enjoyed spending NYE with you. I know I had real life people here early on - but I think thebest part of the evening was spent with you chaps.

I think I may have attempted to erase all memory of thesme's textings from my branes. And the ACTIONS she was doing to accompany said texts.

She is so very VERY wrong in the branes.

And it was lovely chatting to you NYE too ;) It was one of the best i've had yet!

[being-here.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. It was only thesme texting and not you at all.

Now I am not for a moment suggesting that any texts (or indeed thoughts) were wrong in the BRANE. No. For I shared them. They were RIGHT. They were GOOD. But I do think you should own up to them.

Also: thesme had them the wrong way round.

[hellison.livejournal.com]

*thinks* I'm sure my texts were very lovely. With no wrongness. Or not very much.

You, on the otherhand, were not privy to the ACTIONS she was doing which were both graphic and Wrong.

[being-here.livejournal.com]

Ok. Fair enough.

We shan't mention the comment you left on my screened post, shall we?

:D

[hellison.livejournal.com]

That was a Lovely comment! From what I vaguely remember of it ;p

Ok, it may have been a leeetle bit naughty, but it wasn't WRONG. As such.

[being-here.livejournal.com]

Shall we play word association?

What do you think when I say

HAIRBRUSH?

CHAIR?

[hellison.livejournal.com]

I think of going to the hairdressers! Naturally :)

[being-here.livejournal.com]

*grin*

You minx

[http://users.livejournal.com/_unhurt_/]

i cannot get over the fact that you have a gardener. oh la la! shades of lady chatterly, hmm?

it is my hope that icon has been LOST FOREVER. evil. badwrong. hmph.

[hellison.livejournal.com]

I found it! Happy New Year!

And I don't have a gardener as such, he just shows up periodically (usually when I am hungover and still shuffling about in pjs at lunchtime), points out Things That Need Doing and then offers to do them in exchange for large sums of money, which I generally agree to just so I can escape indoors and put some proper clothes on ;p

He is kinda cute tho ;p

[hellison.livejournal.com]

I vole you too!

All Aboard...

[being-here.livejournal.com]

Am already there...

*Passes round the sun oil*

I was even worse in the "unsocial" regard. Wasn't feeling too good so sent bf out into London with his best friend to go clubbing and sat at home with my best friend instead, cunningly the girlfriend of bf's best friend. She on the playstation, me on the MUD and both chatting inbetween doing crucial things ;) Was great fun actually, and I got to drink my tasty champagne all on my own :D

Only hassle was the boys waking me up when they both showed up at the flat at 7 BLOODY 30 AM and decided to go on drinking rather than sleep...

[adelpha.livejournal.com]

You have a couple of bundles of joy in the post! Or will have, when Royal Mail decide to deliver 'em.

[hellison.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a lovely evening ;) And your cursing practice on begorrah must have come in handy in the morning ;p

[hellison.livejournal.com]

Yay! Can't wait ;)

Ta v. much for this!

[adelpha.livejournal.com]

Guaranteed Hoff-free! Well, one of them anyway. Not entirely sure about the other.

[hellison.livejournal.com]

...

What have you done?

WHY is there hoff??

[adelpha.livejournal.com]

Nothing! I may have just put something extra on one of the discs. Not Hoff though. At least I don't think so - I might not have watched it all :P

[hellison.livejournal.com]

worried now :p

[adelpha.livejournal.com]

Sheesh... It's not like I went looking for Hoff pr0n or Baywatch footage to send you.

Speaking of which, any luck tracking down who sent that book?

[hellison.livejournal.com]

oh, i meant to add that to today's post. No luck at all. Even the possible culprits in work (one of whom is now pissed off beacuse she'd *thought* of doing it but forgot ;p) have denied involvement. Am at a total loss!

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

THE PARTERS! HAND ME THE PARTERS

Yes, this is what I got when I googled 'parters'

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

Did you scan it in the end?

*hopeful*

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

and here, how come we woke you up when you were texting us already?

[hellison.livejournal.com]

No, but I can take photos with the digital camera and upload them. May do this tonight ;)

[hellison.livejournal.com]

Alas that link does not work for me. I suspect it may be RUDE.
Tho not as RUDE as you, RUDEY.

[thesme-01.livejournal.com]

*preens pubily*

[adelpha.livejournal.com]

Well who knows your address, and thinks you might enjoy some h0t H0ff action? :P

[hellison.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure there's anyone I haven't checked already, but I must have missed *someone*! Am v. puzzled still. And it probably wasn't cheap either!

Besides whoever send it deserves some reward, if only for the sheer amount of hilarity they have caused around me ;p
