Oct. 22nd, 2003 04:52 pm*bounces in happily*
Oh, today rocked.
Well, the first bit didn't. I really hate getting out of bed at 7.30 on what is supposed to be a day off, and too late did I realise it was that bloody cold. But I went ahead on got in the car, and nice Mum drove me to Tescos, in which I read Feet Of Clay *bouncebouncebounce* and had free cups of tea. Yum. And then I went out in the downright freezing air, and trailed over to Homebase,
Homebase training, how I do detest thee! And the ONLY time it finished on time was when I had made plans for it FINISHING LATE!
Cue a very pathetic text message to
loneraven, along the lines of "It's cold, it's wet, Homebase sucks, can you come any earlier, I hate Homebase! Luv col. Who hates Homebase."
However, I ended up in MacDonalds (mmmm, healthy, not) and then toddled down to the wonderful world of KGV at about 12.15ish. It was still cold and wet though. I shrieked slightly upon meeting Iona and Enid, although to be honest the majority of the words included the phrase "fuck!" "homebase" and "rain". So we all went into KGV, and met Simon, and also someone called Lucy who looked rather terrified at my loud bitching about Homebase training. (FISH!)
So, over lunchtime, we did many things. These included avoiding Gilly, who unfortunately still had the effect of making me go all maternal, and I don't know why! I felt really guilty when he ran away, although I understand that he's stalking poor
cucharita now, so thats okay. And now
loneraven knows what he looks like. She also knows what She Who Shall Not Be Named (okay, Maria) looks and sounds like, so thats... weird.
We had long and winding conversations along the lines of Discworld, and Homebase training, and Elvish goodness, and how Keira Knightley is secretly an elf, and about Stargate, and about Daniel Being An Arse. And then Katie and Lorna were turning up. E= Enid, S= Simon, Me= Me and I= Iona for the following conversation.
Me: Does Lorna have the afternoon off?
I: The Lorna?
Me: Yes, that Lorna
E: What about Lorna?
Me: THE Lorna.
S: Huh?
I: You know... The Lorna...
E: Oh, the one from the posts! I never realised!
C: Yes, she is the Lorna.
S: Am I missing something here?
Me: Oh yeah...
So, yes. It was The Lorna from The Agonised Teenage Trauma Type Posts, which basically involved drunken snogging and lots of nasty aftershocks which I don't think have quite disappeared, but I'm not going down this road again. Anyway!
Finally saw Katie and Lorna, and shriekf inanely. So did Katie. Lorna's first comment? "Holy crap Colleen, your boobs are huge! They weren't that big in school!"
And they wonder why I have Traumatising Teenage Angst Type Moments with stuff like that?
The afternoon wore on most pleasently, even though Enid and Iona went to buy books and to go home, etc. Lorna, Simon and I spent a nice afternoon talking about St Bedes-y stuff, who was being a pain and interesting gossip, and sisterly crap. And also my worrying obsession with the word "fuckbuddy" after reading it on
toddkurtslash and falling in love with it. Lorna is now my fuckbuddy, apparently. Well, it works for me and all... *coughs and moves away from potential angsty post*
Anyway, saw Katie again before I left, combined with much shrieking and generic huggling of pretty much everyone, and then I left and came home.
And now I feel inspired to find Discworld fanfic. Considering, it seems to be a fairly well-written fandom. But then, I got used to LOTR. Which is not.
So today was a Fun Day, and I plan on finishing all my homework tomorrow. Oh, joy.
