(no subject)

Aren't weeks that start with a bank holiday great? I keep thinking it's Monday then remembering it's Tuesday and feel happy. Then I remember I have the rest of the week off and JOY ensues. Also, it is my birthday this weekend. HURRAH!

The weekend was a very lovely one, which mostly featured going to Dublin to meet the lovely lasses o' lj - namely thesme (our gracious hostess), fragglechick, cosmicdancer_, lazy_hoor, mollydot, being_here and walklikeacat (who isn't a lass, but is still lovely and deserves some sort of medal for not running out screaming).

And such a charming day we had.
We had lunch, and attempted going to the pub, but it was very full of people drinking and shouting at the rugby, so we went back to [livejournal.com profile] thesme_01's place instead to, well, drink and shout at the rugby. Tho our shouting may have involved more 'ooh BOTTOMS' and 'look, they're all lying on top of each other again' than that in the pub.
There was also much blaming of the bloody Scots for being too bloody useless to stop bloody France getting that last bloody try *mutters*.

After that we had a very convivial evening of sipping our drinks, eating v. lovey food, discussing the weightier matters of the day and were generally very Refined and Genteel Ladies; I'm sure [livejournal.com profile] walklikeacat will recover from the mental scarring eventually.
It may take me somewhat longer to recover from the trauma of having to share a bed with Thesme in Daniel O'Donnell mode *shudders*.

Sunday I fled sadly took my leave to battle northwards through the snow and sleet storms to go be a Good Daughter and do family stuff, which was nice.

Yesterday I had planned a day of busily tidying and cleaning and making the house all lovely to recieve [livejournal.com profile] being_here and [livejournal.com profile] walklikeacat on Wednesday but somehow got overtaken by Extreme Laziness and spent the entire day doing... absolutely nothing. And it was Wonderful.

Speed tidying tonight tho ;p

So. Very. Creepy.

STOPPIT!

But.... there is no horror behind that link...

Are you feeling ok?

[identity profile] thesme-01.livejournal.com 2007-03-20 12:06 pm (UTC)(link)
it's a new and subtle approach

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2007-03-20 12:11 pm (UTC)(link)
It is RELATED to horror.

She is being sneaky and evil. As usual!

[identity profile] thipe.livejournal.com 2007-03-20 12:12 pm (UTC)(link)
No, surely DIRECT HORROR is better!

Possibly involving artpad pictures...

[identity profile] thesme-01.livejournal.com 2007-03-20 12:13 pm (UTC)(link)
but artpad doesnae work any more

[identity profile] thipe.livejournal.com 2007-03-20 12:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes it does!

[identity profile] thesme-01.livejournal.com 2007-03-20 12:26 pm (UTC)(link)
no for me!

[identity profile] being-here.livejournal.com 2007-03-20 12:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I, personally, was shocked and horrified at the sexist attitudes demonstrated to the poor dear rugby boys. You have all tarnished the sport for me.

And, as I keep saying, please don't tidy on my behalf as am a durty burd ;p

But all in all it has been a very refined and relaxed weekend :D

That voice haunts my nightmares.

[identity profile] lazy-hoor.livejournal.com 2007-03-20 12:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks again for the lufferly purple gloves! They don't smell of horse anymore though... ;)

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2007-03-20 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Anytime! And they did co-ordinate so well with your bike and helmet ;)

Do I *want* to know what they smell like now??

[identity profile] lazy-hoor.livejournal.com 2007-03-20 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
It's ok, they've not been anywhere near thesme. So they are neither moist nor encrusted.

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2007-03-20 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait, so that *wasn't* you complaining that there wasn't enough kissing going on? I could have sworn it was!

I think you are failing to appreciate the level of Mess that my house achieves. Other people have said similar things before, and regretted it.

But yay for relaxing weekends!

Ooh and thanks v. much for the cd of febmeet pics! Great stuff. And may have another icon out of it too ;p

[identity profile] thipe.livejournal.com 2007-03-20 02:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, that sucks!

[identity profile] fragglechick.livejournal.com 2007-03-20 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
It wasn't OUR fault!!! Well, the bluddy RUGBY wasn't anyways.... *ahem*

I have a lufferly refined photo of you reciting William Shatner. :)

[identity profile] jin-shei.livejournal.com 2007-03-20 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry, what have you done with our thesme??

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2007-03-20 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
ooh I had forgotten our Literary Interlude! We really are so very cultured ;p

True. I think it's safe to say he's not the *most* popular man in Ireland this week ;p

[identity profile] mollydot.livejournal.com 2007-03-20 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you have a flickr account?

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2007-03-21 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
I don't, no. I use fotopic for photos usually, or lj ;p

[identity profile] mollydot.livejournal.com 2007-03-21 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
If you get one I'll friend you and then you will be able to see tasteful pictures like these: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mollydot/tags/internationalwomenofmystery/

Actually, they are all pretty tasteful at the moment, because I haven't finished uploading yet.

Apparently I'm the only person who has used the tag "internationalwomenofmystery". Other people's lives are lacking.

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2007-03-21 10:42 am (UTC)(link)
Woo, I shall sort out an account when I get home later (HALF DAY HALF DAY YAY!)

[identity profile] mollydot.livejournal.com 2007-03-21 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay! (can i have one too?)

[identity profile] mollydot.livejournal.com 2007-03-24 11:30 am (UTC)(link)
I've finished putting the photos up. If you've created an account, I'll friend you, otherwise, the link in fragglechick's entry should still work. But just for viewing that set. For other friendsonly ones, I'll have to friend you.
