Occasionally, 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...

Hmm, Maxine sounds scary :s Maybe you should answer and say you are a Maxine, but not the Maxine and if they call again you'll sue?

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 :-|

Ooh, no you didn't! Exciting!! *jumps up and down*
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?

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...

I'm sure you'll get something sorted out!!

And all I can get about Torchwood is that it's starting in autumn... so hopefully pretty soon...

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...
