The Things I Do For WiFi

[laliandra]

Still not dead!

Still have no internet!

So, yeah. The internet at the old house got cut off and they still haven't installed internet at the new house.

So, I am sitting in a local McDonalds using their wi-fi. As Ari said, classy. I keep having to buy McFlurrys (because I kind of love them even though they are made of chemicals and air) and people keep walking past and peering at my screen. Writing fic is really hard when teenage guy keep trying to read it over my shoulder.

Apart from it being woefully internetless (seriously. SERIOUSLY D:) the new house is awesome. It's so sunny and there is so much room! I've unpacked my beloved books and the old lady next door picked us flowers from her garden. Also, you know, boyfriend.

It's been weird moving out of my old house. I had a great time there, but it never really felt like a permenent house. Sometimes I used to wake up in my bedroom there and been really confused about where I was, even after I had lived there for months.

But I'll miss my housemates! The week before I left, we had so much fun.

Eve: Well, I don't want to force my nuts on you!
Elliot: *Comes into the room* Errrr.
Jill: No, I don't think we should explain this.

Elliot: Are you drawing pentagrams on yourself?
Lal: Kinda?
Elliot: This is why people think you're in a death cult.
Lal: You wear ONE pair of earrings with knives on...

Lal: You are a DOCTOR! Yaaaaaaay! (Elliot just passed his PHD! We were all very excited!)
Eve: I feel inadequate.
Lal: Me too.
Elliot: But you guys have skills!
Lal: I am working on my Queen of Nerds program.
Elliot: *very dry* I think you're nearly there.
Lal: True. I am like the Princess Eugenie of Nerds.

So, yeah, I will miss them, only Elliot is staying in Leeds. I won't get to drink random alcohol and do latin declentions with Jill. I won't get to watch bad television and eat delicious stir fry with Eve.

But, tonight me and Nat are celebrating the new house with fajitas and champagne. Plus I have a temp job for next week and then the week after that brimtoast is coming to stay. Aaah, I am so excited!

YAAAAAAAAY!

Anyway, I miss y'all. A lot. I can do limited stuff on my phone, but it's so slooooow and time consuming. So, it is Mcdonalds for me! I need my internet, a lot.

How is everyone? We are having marvellous sunshine, are you? (hello I am a British stereotype, want to talk about the weather?)

I want earrings with knives on so bad. *irrelevant*

Of course I want to talk about weather! We are having lots of sunshine too, for a change (after not one, but two rather horrid floods in a month, I think everybody needs it). In celebration of which I just won an auction for a white polka-dotted (dots are hot pink) retro sundress. I... don't recognize myself, but yay anyway. :)

Have a lovely house-celebration! &hearts

Well, my knife earrings were made by playwithfyr and she will sell them to anyone with a paypal account? They are very cool. That dress sounds ~gorgeous. Go you! You know how I feel about polka dots <3. Pics plz ;). You have to have a good sundress for this kind of weather. It's been so glorious. *happy sigh*

Lalalala I'm not hearing what I'm hearing, my funds for retail therapy this month are already on the minus... But thanks for the info, I will store it for the bright future when I have both money and the paypal account! :)
Polka dots are my favourite, and everybody that says that with my height and in my age I shouldn't wear them may go and jump off the cliff. :) I will see about pics:) I'm finishing the other sundress, the one I'm sewing myself (the von Trapp way, from the actual curtains...), and I'm enormously proud of it, so perhaps I will make a sundress post some day. Er. xD

Your McDonald's wi-fi antics are charmingly hilarious, just so you know. I am still sorry that you have no internet, but... yes, also very amused. Your new house is very exciting though, and I hope you can post pictures soon!

Hooray for sunny weather! Unfortunately, it is not sunny here at all, which has caused a considerable amount of complaint on the part of Julia, who I unwisely told to not bring coats or sweaters, because it would surely have become sunny by the start of July. She is currently bundled up in all my warm clothing and spends a lot of time huddled underneath the covers of her aerobed when we are at home. I feel rather guilty, to say the least.

By the way, I really appreciate how the bookdeyada discussions never fail to be on a day that is somehow exceptionally inconvenient for me... but this time really kind of takes the cake, because I won't even be at home for this month's discussion, let alone have internet access. This is a shame, but I suppose I am not that torn up about it, largely because Guardian of the Dead so disappointed me. Hopefully all of you will have a lovely time discussing it, though, while I drive all over the Olympic Peninsula showing Julia the wonders of nature in our many Washington State Parks.
