Monday meme time!

[hellison]

Meh Monday. Had lovely weekend, with Katy-drinking and lie-ins and lots of family yesterday, but today my head hurts and I am tired so instead of content, you get a meme, nicked from helleboredoll who has hopefully spent most of the weekend stroking her hamsters...

Online journals are little filters that we each see every one else's lives through, the parts others choose to share with us. That said, we all think we are close, but really we seldom know *a lot* about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.



Also physio starts today. Which is not at ALL making me nervous and convinced they will tell me I should have been walking months ago and I'm not broken, just lazy. At all. Much. Anyway. MEME.

Update! Physio lady was v. nice and said that v. tight calf muscles aside, my ankle was actually doing better than she'd expected and thus no more
a. hopping or
b. roboboot
but instead lots of achy stretchings and putting of heel to ground. Back next week for more!

Why? Helly, WHY?

That's what I want to know.

Well, see, you'll have to be a bit more specific here! I could give an entirely wrong answer and thus incriminate embarrass misrepresent myself.


Tho, in general, when asked that, my favoured response is "because it seemed like the right thing to do at the time."

[being-here.livejournal.com]

That is because you are the BAD twin

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAH silly silly being_here.

No.

What's your job?

[hellison.livejournal.com]

My official title is 'data co-ordinator' these days, I think, which doesn't sound very archaeological at all.

Basically, it is my job to keep the Sites and Monuments Record for NI current and corret (as far as possible ;p) which mosly involves adding any new sites to the record, updating information on individual sites and making sure that the paper record (files, maps, photos) and the electronic records (database, GIS) match each other.
Mostly, I take reports sent in by archaeologists, convert them to something anyone could (hopefully!) understand and condense them to a nice concise paragraph.

I'm also in charge of updating other govt. agencies, especially planners, with our data. And also pretty much anyone who asks.

For the last while I've been at home ploughing through a backlog of over 700 excavation and monitoring reports from various commercial archaeological companies and writing precis/summaries for them, to be copied into the database when I'm back in the office.

A searchable (when it's working) version of my lovely database is available online, via the sadly not so lovely EHS website (which is a mess tbh), here (http://www.ehsni.gov.uk/other-index/content-databases/content-databases-nismr.htm)

Who is the good twin?

[hellison.livejournal.com]

ME, obviously !

Given a teaspoon and an agar dish, how much MUCUS could you scrape out of your BITS in 10 minutes?

Helo I don't actually know what colour your pubes are

Em, em, Hi. Em. Er. I uh. Em.

ehhh

I can't think of anything?!?!??????!?!???

[hellison.livejournal.com]

same colour as the rest of my hair. Tho. I've never exactly matched them up to check...

HI Helo. Will ring you later and tell you all about exciting physio. She agrees with you on the tight tendons/calf muscles being possibly why it broke so badly! And was ratehr surprised that no-one had given me any kind of physio advice before leaving hospital...

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

oh, so possibly, eventually, the physio might at least end up helping both legs?

[hellison.livejournal.com]

Hopefully yes! I did say I'd always leant to one side a bit and she said "You won't do that when I've finished with you". Which is slightly worying, but also good ;)

imagining for a moment that you are NOT betrothéd to the divine david, which of the fictional characters you harbour lustful impulses* towards do you actually think you could stand to live with without murdering? (see, i think about these things. and i think that, for example, no matter HOW WET his shirt - and i am assuming you would follow him round the house with a plant mister or something - i think you would soon want to beat the colin firth shaped mr d'arcy round the head with a bag of cat litter because the conversations would be just a tiny bit too bloody refined.)

enlighten me please?


*initailly typed "impusles". those sound messy.

I have been pondering this one overnight (good question!) and basically the short answer is NO.

I'd find it hard to live with anyone, but the broody heros of most fiction would, I'd imagine, be a right pain in the arse to actually have to live with.
Mr Darcy - along with all the Heyer heros and most historical studs - is fine on paper, but in reality, having to cope with that stuck up arrogance, not to mention the whole 'don't worry your pretty little head' attitude would lead to stabbing.

Cap'n Mal - oh dear me. The man can fill a pair of tight trousers, but the Angst and Woe and Overthinking would drive you insanne.

Jayne - heh. the opposite. He'd constantly be out fighting/drinking and god knows what else. Great for a a fling tho ;)

I could go on but... yes. In short, I dont' think I could actually live with any of them ;p
