cosmic_llinOccasionally, I just laugh out loud for no reason at all.
Lately this is happening more and more often, and increasingly in public places.
This means I have to do my best to hold it in, but then I just end up smirking to myself, which is almost as bad.
I don't understand this sudden increase in unprompted mirth.
But whatever.
Of course, I also have so stop myself laughing at actual funny stuff. Like today when a woman came to my ice-cream kiosk and asked for a "Napoleon".
What I would have liked to have said was: 'I'm sorry, we don't have any diminutive military geniuses, would you like an ice-cream instead?' But of course what I actually said was: 'I'm sorry madam, we only have the flavours on display'. Pah. I'm guessing she was trying for a Neapolitan, but we don't have any of those either.
In other news, I am still being haunted by Maxine. People keep calling and texting my mobile asking for her, and it never stops, no matter how many times I tell people it isn't her number. I don't know who she even is. All I have managed to glean from her texts and phone calls is that she has at least two children and she goes to a lot of meetings... and she's really bad at updating her contact details, evidently...

Date: 2006-07-17 10:22 pm (UTC)Did I ever email you to tell you there's something in the post for you? I think it went out about five days ago. I can't be sure though because I'm dependent on Himself to post stuff (due to the whole things about me not existing, heh) and he was out with a flu and then too busy to get to the post office for some while :-|

I confess I'm only just getting your Who vids organised to send... I have no excuse except that I'm not used to working full time and it's making me lazy...
Is there anything else you'd like while I'm at it?

Date: 2006-07-18 11:18 pm (UTC)I'll have to Take Steps to find out about the status of the rest of the Confidentials; see, my friend (who obtained the however-many-there-are-on-that-disc ones we sent you) has buggered off to Kalgoorlie to work for an opal-mining company and I've not seen him for nearly a month now. Waaah!
Is there anything else you'd like while I'm at it?
Yeah - you can wander around finding all the Trebor Bassett Selection kiosks, carefully pick out a busload of the Soft Pear Jellies, and smuggle them to me in something innocuous-looking :P :P :P Seriously though, only thing I can think of is more Dead Ringers if there's a fresh season. The ABC does broadcast 'em, but only randomly and patchily.
Ooh, when's Torchwood? Isn't it starting soon?
I wish we were within cuppa range of each other, demmit! There are some things I'd really, really love to discuss with you - yes, with you specifically, muhahahahaha - and they're things that IMO can't truly be discussed properly without a face-to-face setting. Gaah, there's never a TARDIS around when you need one...

Wouldn't that be good? Give me a couple of years and I'll get over there for a bit, but in the meantime we'll just have to discuss things improperly, LOL. And now I'm intrigued as to what you want to discuss with me so badly...
Gaah, there's never a TARDIS around when you need one...
There's not a day goes by that I don't have that very thought...
