lemonbella1. I spend more than the average amount of time in my pyjamas
2. My friends are apparently quite disturbed by me.
3. I find the thought of monkeys in ponchos so funny it gives me a headache. It is now my designated happy place.
4. I apparently turn very easily into a Packing and Leaving On Time Nazi (given enough Amarreto coffee beans and too little sleep.) I do apologise everyone.
5. It is possible to eat too much take-away food.
6. Not everyone enjoys Smallville as much as me.
7. Not everyone enjoys rock pools as much as me.
8. I should pay attention to strange grinding noises in my car *before* I travel 700 miles on holiday.
9. Welsh police are rude and insulting to cars.
10. Trying to have conversations about comics in front of non-comic people only leads to strange looks.
11. I know more about Aber weather phenomena than people who lived there for three years ("It'll stop soon")
12. I am easily pursuaded to like steam trains.
13. It is possible to watch too much gymnastics.
14. All beautiful men should be forced to wear dungarees and shovel coal.
15. My conversations need to be censored for appropriate content.
16. According to extensive research by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
heatherbelles puddles are cold.
17.indian_skimmer and I will watch Smallville until we cannot keep our eyes open any longer.
16. Fringedwellers would make the most ineffectual invasionary force. ("ooh those stairs are very steep", "hang on I need my coat", "don't look down", "I'll catch up, I need the toilet")
I had a fabulous time, and am not thinking about the fact my car had died.

Date: 2004-08-21 03:04 pm (UTC)2- I think we all managed to disturbeach other
3 - It's an intrinsically amusing image, like hattle.
4- The coffee beans were fab, and I'm amazed we're so organised.
5 - Next time, we have to actually cook too.
6 -
7 - See above, minus the bed comments.
8 - Am so sorry to hear Clark is not well.
9 - The Policeman was obviously bored.
10 - Scarily I understood a few things. Others soared straight over my head
11 - Normally, it *does* stop.
12 - Whats not to like?
13- On the other hand, we can watch as much synchronise diving as we want.
14 - don't forget the neckercheif you specified.
15 - you will be given a box
16 - They really were cold! But, at least I didn't trip in the World's Smallest Puddle(tm), unlike someone I could mention.
17 - You really were determined, weren't you?
18 - We really would be, wouldn't we? Still, it was great fun...

I'm off to giggle quietly in the corner now (monkeys... in ponchos)

Date: 2004-08-22 04:22 am (UTC)2. Not so much, really
3. Mexican Walruses are funnier
4. But it meant I caught my train, so I don't really mind
5. It is. I am going to be put off chips for the next week
6. Not everyone else has your excellent taste
7. See above
8. Actually, I agree with this one
9. "But it's the newest car I've *ever* had!". And they shouldn't be allowed to stop people just because they have nothing better to do
10. Only when you're talking about someone's Dick
11. It did stop. Just a little later than we thought
12. Steam trains are interesting. You're discovering a whole new world
13. It really is
14. The nubile young man at Abergynolwen would have looked good in anything, the dungarees were just an enhancement
15. There will definitely be a box next time. We can open it when we're alone.
16. Welsh puddles are cold, perhaps she will have to step in a variety of others to be sure about *all* puddles
17. I can watch Smallville until I've fallen asleep completely. That way you wake up to Clark and Lex in the morning
18. We would however be excellent defenders of castles, if we remember to buy eggs first

Date: 2004-08-22 05:13 am (UTC)Welsh puddles are indeed cold. I'll let you know about the rest.
I described the poncho-wearing monkey to my mother, who giggled. I think its an universally funny image.
