pinched from Niamh, who got it from Only Forward by Michael Marshall Smith.

How many times have you tried to talk to someone about something that matters to you, tried to get them to see it the way you do? And how many of those times have ended with you feeling bitter, resenting them for making you feel like your pain doesn't have any substance after all?
...Ultimately they don't know you well enough, and they never can. Everyone's alone in their world, because everybody's life is different. You can send people letters, and show them photos, but they can never come to visit where you live.

Unless you love them. And then they can burn it down.

reminds you how bloody precious are the people who take you seriously, no matter what... Will is amazing. Who else could manage to be utterly understanding and take Bath Towel Hysterics very seriously?

It goes 'Buggrit! Millenium Hand and Shrimp!' It's Foul Ole Ron! That's not my Daddy!

:D I have Where's My Cow. My life is once again complete ;)

Seriously. This is brilliant. The pictures, all the little Discworldian references, and Pratchett's author pic in the portrait on the wall...
Read it. Now. Let there be no question about this.

Also bought Coraline, some book by Isabel Allende, and the Jerle Shannara trilogy 'cos they cost five dollars for the whole trilogy.

And... I have the dress. It is purple and gold. It is silk. It is gorgeous. It has a loose thread in the back, need to find some way of getting that out without unravelling the whole thing. Will post pics later in the weekend.

Bought another pressie for my SS, too... hope she likes it, it wasn't even remotely on her list, but it is in her favorite colour ;)

Have forms for Over 18s Bush Camp :D Now to convince people to go with me...

Spoke to Will again for no reason this afternoon. When I got out of work there was a missed call on my phone from him. Rang him and apparently he'd been testing to see if he had my number right... I raved about Where's My Cow and promised to read it to him with appropriate farmyard noises if he comes to visit me when i get home.

I love bookshops... they're so lovely... So many things i want to read, though, it's slightly distressing. Entered a compettition to win the entire Angus & Robertson Top 100 Books... which includes the Bible at number seven, i think... hehe, i'm imagining some poor atheist booklover lumped with it just 'cos he wanted the other 99 books...

wrote practice essay for english... hand hurt after fifteen minutes, this does not bode well. Also have only one topic prepared for Section C, i hope the question is the obvious one and not something snarky, or i'll be up the proverbial creek without the proverbial paddle.
