This is me ranting, ignore at will.

Jul 12, 2005 21:44

Apparently, there are some people here who think me level-headed and patient. And they wouldn't be wrong. I can, for the most part, keep my cool in any situation, however stressing. But sometimes enough is enough. So let me give you a warning: if you don't want this angelic impression of me to shatter into pieces, then stop reading right now ( Read more... )

That's terrible Padma.

half_whole July 12 2005, 17:55:19 UTC

Well, I wouldn't say that it's terrible, there are far worse things in life. Unfortunately. But holidays would be very nice right now.

Thank you for commiserating with me, Lee. And congratulations on your own news!

Feel free to owl me if you need a few volunteers to help organise the ball.

half_whole July 13 2005, 02:43:34 UTC

At this point it'd be more trouble than it'd be worth, the ball is tomorrow. But we always need help around here, even when there isn't a gala about to happen. And if you do come, perhaps we could go for coffee afterwards some day? (I want to believe I'll start having free time once this is over.)

hes_dead_jim July 13 2005, 20:29:19 UTC

That sounds great. Let me know when you're available.

born_at_dawn July 12 2005, 20:13:36 UTC

That's awful. And no good at all.

Remind me to owl you some extra chocolates.

half_whole July 13 2005, 02:57:43 UTC

It is not, you're right. With the chocolates you could owl me something to drink, or perhaps I should owl myself to wherever you'll be this weekend.

born_at_dawn July 13 2005, 16:02:28 UTC

Strangely enough, with my plea, I seem to have developed somewhat of a social life.

So by all means, you should join me. And I'm sending a bottle of firewhiskey your way.

half_whole July 13 2005, 17:12:40 UTC

I know! I think I might complain more often to get showered with sympathy, chocolate and drinks.

Thank you for the firewhiskey, and we'll have to meet up to share any gossip about our nights that doesn't end up written here.

So I suppose now is a bad time to ask for one of those french verandas?

half_whole July 13 2005, 03:03:04 UTC

Very funny.

I hope you realise I can do that to your flat, and more.

pottersfield July 13 2005, 09:06:55 UTC

And miss out on all this squalor?

I don't doubt that you can, but we rent. Instead of a veranda we have a nice, echoey stairwell that's littered with rubbish.

half_whole July 13 2005, 17:27:05 UTC

Oh, how silly of me to want to take the squalor away from you!

Please tell me you and Ron aren't the ones littering the stairwell.

Well we can't have you run ragged, now can we? Perhaps you should take your mum to the ball to help out?

adrians_wall July 13 2005, 00:09:35 UTC

Leave it.

ambitiousdark July 13 2005, 00:20:18 UTC

Your concern for Padma would be touching... if you'd remembered it before you worked the poor thing to the bone. Bugger off Ade, it's time for girl talk.

half_whole July 13 2005, 02:47:56 UTC

Like I told Susan, it's too late to teach the ropes to someone. Even if it's someone as quick-witted and cunning as my mum.

Thank you for your concern, however, Millicent.
