*stares at you all adoringly*

I did mean to make this entry Some Time ago but, ugh, you guys, I'm still pretty sick. I got sick almost exactly on the stroke of midnight (I'm not kidding, I stood up to sing Auld Lang Syne, sneezed and felt a little wobbly) and have only just come out the other side.

And by that I mean, have been coughing myself to death and leaving people completely ridiculous comments that make less than no sense. With .gifs. And because my friends are, you know, my friends, I am now engaged in TWO gif wars. Obviously.

Anyway, I also left for various Christmas type celebrations on the 16th of December, which I hope goes some way to explaining the amount of LJ radio silence. And LJ kind of sucks these days. But yes, I went and had four days in a tiny room with [livejournal.com profile] moogle62 and it was GLORIOUS. I think we had about 20 hours sleep total, there was a lot of time spent in pyjamas, some very dignified feels watching TSN vids at 3am that we had to talk to some ice cream about, some even more dignified feels about Sherlock Holmes 2 (IN PUBLIC GOOD LORD) and her flatmate describing me as "your *lowers voice* *makes air quotes* friend".

So all around a triumph, really.

And then we met up with some beloved marmfish for merriment and tube debacles and ice skating. Last year [livejournal.com profile] hanelissar and I spent the whole session hands firmly clasped in each others, with much clutching and spinning and delighting in each safe trip round the ice. When we got back onto dry land the rest of the group declared us married. This year I spent more time than seems, um, socially acceptably telling Moog and [livejournal.com profile] altogetherisi to just get their legs further apart, jeez.

And then home to the Isle of Man, which ended up being, to quote Moog, LIKE THE ISLAND ON LOST ONLY INSTEAD OF ACCUMULATING TERRIFYINGLY ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE AND ALSO POLAR BEARS IT JUST ATTRACTS THE WTFUCKERY/INTENSE EMOTIONAL REVELATIONS. So we'll just, move right along with that, then.

And then back to see the boy and his parents, only he got sick, then I got sick, and here we are! Oh, no, only I also recorded three episodes of [livejournal.com profile] podramble (more on that later) and wrote my Yuletide fic.

Not If, Only or Even, But Always. And no, I'm still not sure if all those commas are right.

It was for the movie Zombieland, a witty, charming movie which I loved more than I ever expected to, and featuring some of my very favourite faces. In a turn of events to surprise no one, I have a number of feelings about kickass conlady heroines and their sisters and their twitchy, adorkable boyfriends.

Um, if I haven't posted the Fandom Snowflake thing by the end of tomorrow, someone yell at me?

Happy New Year, my dearest flist!

How the devil are you?

I am also now un-sick! I continue to pack up my fannish bags to get the fuck off LJ.

Hurray! I am still coughing charmingly and weirdly unhungry but for a while there I was too ill to read fic, which we all know is a sign of the End Times.

Sigh, I have so many bags, Azz, and I don't really know where I'm going...

That is an apocalyptically bad cold indeed.

I have some diehard friends who are like nev-er going to leave LJ because of stubborn and also because of personal. I am pretty sure some of it all comes down to history and ex-friends and fights and possibly wank. But I do not think LJ is going to get better.

Hi Lal hi. HAPPY NEW YEAR. I love you and all things related to you. I just wanted you to know this. I'm sorry that you are sick. :(

I would place a delightful and appropriate gif here but I am at work and have no access to such things. SUCH IS MY ULTIMATE SADNESS. Oh wait! I can maybe fix this. Let's see...




tumblr has saved the day! <#

I'm glad that I got to see your FACE in PERSON in 2011 and I hope to see it again in 2012 (or at the VERY LEAST, 2013 at MJ). I love you a Great Deal. ♥

Hello you! I am feeling better :)? Your Christmas card, by the way, remains one of the most delightful things I have ever seen, and the message made me a little teary, so, yeah, I should get back to you about that. Must find somewhere to stick my snowflake! (that sounded... Um. ANYWAY)

YAY TUMBLR HERE ARE SOME THINGS FOR YOOOOOU

YOUR FACE. And yes, I hope so too for this year, and one hundred percent for sure for MJ!

This year I spent more time than seems, um, socially acceptably telling Moog and altogetherisi to just get their legs further apart, jeez.

OMG I LOVE YOU LAL xD Also, at some point, I want to go ice skating with you guys D: (where I'll probably make everybody fall over like dominoes in the process because... well, it's me).

Anyway, Happy New Year, darling Lal! <3 I'm sure you'll be right as rain in no time at all!



Also, on the topic of kickass conlady heroines and their twitchy, adorkable boyfriends, and because I love your fic regardless of the number of commas in the title:



Aaaaand:



Because, well... ~obviously. (WHITE COLLAR WILL BE BACK IN OUR EYES SOON LAL SDKJ;ASLDKDS)

[identity profile] laliandra.livejournal.com 2012-01-05 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Yessssss, come skating! I have taught Hannah and Moog to skate, well, to cling onto me without falling, I can totally do you too!

Um.

Anyway.

Happy New Year, darling Bran <3 I am already feeling better.

And azldkghj that gif, omg, that moment. UGH I LOVE ALL OF THEIR FACES SO MUUUUUUUUUUUCH.

Eeeeeee, White Collar! My dearests, come back to me with your beautiful OT3 ways.

I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD, UH, DO ME. :D :D :D

Isn't it just the bestest gif? I love how Little Rock and Tallahassee are peacefully sleeping in the back, side by side. <3 UGH THAT WHOLE MOVIE.

LAL LAL LAL LALALALAL IT WILL BE SO GOOD AND I CANNOT WAIT.

her flatmate describing me as "your *lowers voice* *makes air quotes* friend".
Hahah, isn't it fun when that happens. (My best friend's friends don't even bother doing the whole air quote thing anymore, they just call me her girlfriend. Yup.)

Anyways. Happy New Yearrr.
And I hope you feel better soon! ♥

[identity profile] laliandra.livejournal.com 2012-01-05 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
It was super hilarious. I was like, what, just because I'm in my pyjamas on the only bed in the room...

Happy New Year to you, too <3

Maybe you are allergic to 2012 or traditional new year songs or the impending apocalypse (:

[identity profile] laliandra.livejournal.com 2012-01-05 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Ahh, that'll be it. The overwhelming sense of people saying nonsense about the Mayans. Terrible allergy.

I am FINALLY out of hospital, after three and a half bloody weeks, almost dying, and other annoying things! Oh yes, HAPPY NEW YEAR, lal dear. I will write an update via Dreamwidth this weekend, I promise! (Bran, kick me if I procrastinate...)

In other news, I have too many doctor's appointments, and the boy promptly showed up last night (I got home yesterday evening) to cuddle me to sleep and then leave via housemates. What a GOOD BOY. :P

[identity profile] laliandra.livejournal.com 2012-01-05 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, congratulations on not dying, bestest Mathsie, and welcome back. MWAH!

Happy New Year to you toooooooo <3

That is a very good boy, clearly you are training him well...

[identity profile] branquignole.livejournal.com 2012-01-06 11:41 am (UTC)(link)
I will totally kick you in the shins if you procrastinate. Or rather assist you in your procrastination... ahem.

Happy New Year, Lal dearest! <3 <3 <3
Would you teach me to ice skate, were I to magically visit some day? I wish to learn so much, and we still need to meet one day, after last year's London fiasco. :)

[identity profile] laliandra.livejournal.com 2012-01-05 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Absolutely! I would love to! You would have to come in winter, though. They're all temporary ice rinks for the season. But yes! One day, darling, one day <3 <3 <3
