Glad Tidings

[laliandra]

 Hey you guys!

I got a job! Let the rejoicing commence! A Real Person job where I get to speak French and everything. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! I have been temping for about a year now and it sucks like a sucky thing, so VICTORY ARMS FOREVER I HAVE GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT.

My Dad is celebrating by "teaching the tortoises a Mexican Wave of yay" He currently lives on a farm in the veld somewhere outside Johannesburg and has been incubating tortoises in a sandpit. Yeah. He needs a hobby now that the monkeys that he used to shoot with waterpistols have disappeared.

Thank you to everyone who was so lovely to me on Twitter, y'all are the best. And #teamfish you are extra wonderful. Fandom people have been beyond generous to me while I've been broke and woefaced, I can't thank you enough. &fandom

 

I celebrated by hanging out and playing party games of our own invention with my most darling brimtoast , which led to me accidentally scarring us both for life by stumbling upon a truly horrific fanvid. I think it may have killed moogle62 , and so I may be lynched by TSN fandom any day *g* SHE ASKED FOR  THE LINK, OKAY?

 

Then tonight I'm going to a friend's leaving do and then tomorrow I'm taking my boyfriend on a date/celebration/excuse to drink a lot of mojitos. 

ALSO I'M GOING TO SEE DARREN CRISS IN CONCERT AND  IT'S GOING TO BE TOTALLY AWESOME. 
 

*twirls you all*

CONGRATULATIONS LAL YOU DESERVE ALL THE MOJITOS AND ALSO ALL THE ICE CREAM EVER!
Sorry for being an awful friend lately. &hearts

Also: Darren Criss! Seriously? That is, indeed, totally awesome. *fails so hard at being cool and almost thirty*

Yay thank you Ria YOU ARE LOVELY ALL OF THE TIME, HUSH. ♥ forever!

SERIOUSLY. altogetherisi somehow got us tickets because she is magical. I'm really, really excited and I think we are both super cool, so there :)

*glomps*

Ha, in that case I feel justified. :) And I'm going to sit quietly and hope you'll tell us everything after, with pictures. :)

From what I see in other comments, your new job sounds spectacular (and very glamorous), I am so happy for you! &hearts

Oh, and also ps, I think it's time to realise that your card got eaten somewhere at the post, as I've never got it, and it's been a long, long time. Sadface.

Sadly my camera has died a death but I will make Isi take many pictures!

Ugh, man, at least half of the postcards I sent went missing. I blame the stupid automated stamp machine that I used. Woe. I do actually have a book of cards from New York so if you did like a card from nyc but sent from England then I would be more than happy to send you one x

[cellophane_ria.livejournal.com]

But mainly, have fun! :)

Stupid stamp machine. Or perhaps those cards are touring the world together, who knows, maybe right now they are chilling on some remote beach in New Zealand, like a flock of fluttering, papery seagulls.
I would love a New York card send from anywhere, but only if you have enough cards, I don't want to rob you of your pictures. xxx

I'm happy for your joy if that makes any sense.

[laliandra.livejournal.com]

Whatever the opposite of schadenfreude is! Makes perfect sense to me... Thank you :D

ADFKN;ALSDFKNSA;DFLKDJS WHAT DARREN CRISS WHAT. You are going to the London show, then??? I WILL NEED ALL THE DEETS. ALL THE DEETS THAT THERE ARE.

Lol, your dad is my favourite. That sentence is still probably one of the best things I've ever seen XDDDDD

I'M STILL OVERWHELMINGLY THRILLED FOR YOU, MY DEAR. What kind of job is it/things will you be doing? (OTHER THAN PARLEING FRANCAIS, OF COURSE. LOL.*) EEEEEEEEEEE.

RIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT yes I am, Isi has got us tickets although I'm still not sure how exactly she managed to do that. It's on the 6th of July and it's in the afternoon and I am SO EXCITED OH MY GODDD *fangirls all over the place*

He sent me a bunch of pictures of the tortoises and also the box of puppies that he and his girlfriend just found one day. I don't even know...

:D:D:D *glomps* I will be organising freelancers (like models and photographers) for big companies (like fashion houses and magazines) and I will be Franglaising tous the jours because it's a bilingual office. Well, I think all my co-workers are French, actually, which should be interessant!

[mcollinknight.livejournal.com]

ASD;FLKAHSDF;LAKSDJF SO JEALOUSSSSSSSSSS AAAAAHHHHH. And it's one of his shoes, right? Not with Glee? THAT MEANS ORIGINALS AND STARKID AND THINGS IN ITALIAN AND OLD JAZZ CLASSICS AND HOT DORKERY. AEFBA;SLDFKSA. (Also, day before my birthday, what up what up.)

Oooh, Franglaising tous the jours, sounds tres interessant. (I miss French, and am petrified to speak it now because I might suck and thus I do not practice. Le eek.) That actually sounds like a superneat job, yay Lal! :D :D :D

...I have to confess that I'm really curious about this fanvid now.

This post is a post of much joy! Congrats again on the job!

[laliandra.livejournal.com]

:D thank you!

Oh man, if I take out you, november and Moog I will TSN public enemy number one! It's a Harry Potter vid and contains repeated use of a terrible manip and what I can only describe as the world's most awkward sex faces.

JUST DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU. This is what happens when you play youtube based games...

[hapakitsune.livejournal.com]

ahahahhahaha SO GREAT

[novembersmith.livejournal.com]

...I second the morbid curiosity about this fanvid. What makes it so soul-scorching? Is it like The Ring, but with MZuckerberg instead of Samara?

ALSO WHY MUST YOU BE SO FAR FROM ME I DESIRE TO MAKE YOU A CELEBRATORY DINNER

[laliandra.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD LAUREN IT IS NOT EVEN TSN IT IS A HARRY/SNAPE VID IT IS THE WORST, OH GOD. It has world's most awkward sex faces. OH GOD THE HORROR. But http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvouaBDJ1zE PLEASE STILL LOVE ME.

Whhhhhhy! But :D thank you bb <<33

Congratulations on the job! eeeeeeee, that is amazing news, and oh la la, French, this job is sounding so sophisticated to my plebeian ears.

[laliandra.livejournal.com]

Yay, thank you so much! I am looking forward to not being poor A LOT. It is my one skill that is actually marketable, unlike the trivia and the parody songs and ability to read fanfic on my phone...

Congrats on the new job!

This whole paragraph is BIZARRE and awesome.

[laliandra.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Yes, my family are sort of inexplicable and/or fictional sounding. It makes for excellent anecdotes :D

[branquignole.livejournal.com]

This is so yaysome, lal! \o/ Methinks that celebrating with a tortoise Mexican wave of yay is very much the appropriate thing to do. Your job sounds really exciting!

In other news, I'm now scarred for life by this video. Oh God. I love how Harry's hair changes so much in it though- I like to think he let it grow just for Snape so they can be hair buddies and talk about shampooing, but Snape won't even appreciate the effort and just shuts door in Harry's face. D:
