Tell me *before* 10.30pm tomorrow, Friday. <br /><br />Jj and G are also going that night and it's also kinda a birthday celebration thingy for me. You know, in case you needed more reasons.<br /><br />&lt;3<br /><br />Giffy urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:giffydoll:147695 2008-12-13T06:31:41Z 2008-12-13T06:31:41Z We're leaving Ireland today.

One was my order of hipsters from Thunderpants (super comfy and hard wearing so perfect for backpacking when laundry may get chucked into hostel dryers). The other was chocolate from Sok!! Yum! 2 flavours I haven't tried and I def like them both. The postcard was also much appreciated. We're currently staying with 2 Kiwis (who have lived in Wgtn) and the "Wellington Design" photos were found to be amusing by all.<br /><br />Yays.<br /><br />Schoc chocolate is seriously some of the best in the WORLD. I know, I'm there ;)<br /><br /><i>Edited to add:</i><br />Later that evening, Beau and I went to our old flat to again check for mail and I had a postcard from Jenni! Squeee!<br /><br />I loves me my snail mail :)<br /><br />Thanks Sok and Jenni :) urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:giffydoll:143807 2008-09-11T09:42:35Z 2008-09-11T09:42:35Z We are back in Cork until Tuesday. Internet here is good and we don't have much on, so if you see me online feel free to chat. Skype dates may also be organised ;)<br /><br />I blogged more at the other place. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:giffydoll:142707 2008-08-21T11:26:50Z 2008-08-21T11:26:50Z I am in Edinburgh, in my pjs.

Has much Kiwiana that I intend to pass on to the Irish. <br /><br />If you are in NZ and see Muggle, please give her an extra huggle from me.

So, any post and stuff that isn't going to arrive in the next 2 1/2 weeks will have to be sent care of friends of ours. This is totally ok and possible. It's likely that our flatmate will be moving out too, otherwise it would be fine for you to keep sending stuff here.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.stonesoup.co.nz/dollhouse/archives/008106.html">http://www.stonesoup.co.nz/dollhouse/archives/008106.html</a> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:giffydoll:139917 2008-07-31T11:14:41Z 2008-07-31T11:14:41Z Yay for July Babies!

I was first pointed to these beautiful vintage styled swimsuits by the now defunct Special Knives blog. I keep going back though, to look at them and drool. Their sheer pretty almost convinces me that buying togs online is not a bad idea. They have ruffle-backed bikini bottoms!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.adagio.com/signature_blend/blend.html?blend=2513&amp;sid=3a6bcf01cfeb7f8ced4b05c80856d23f&amp;scrollTop=1741">Dr Horrible's Tea of Evil</a> is a black tea blend.

I think for this week only though. I may have downloaded many for later perusal. Mmm, bookses.

It was actually pretty funny. We were inside chilling and he was outside bouncing and Neid was watching him. She came in to see what we were up to and then he wandered in grinning and was all "Hey, is there a Dr in the house?" and showed us his really weird looking hand. <br /><br />I thought he was having us on, as y'know, some people can do weird things with their fingers. He told me later he was grinning as he got to make a joke about Beau being in the house and also, Woah, my hand looks freaky! It didn't hurt.<br /><br />Beau and I seriously had an awesome time. We caught the train to X+'s place in the country on Saturday evening, drank beer and then baileys, played cards and watched "Spaced" (really cool and funny uk tv series) until 3.30am on Sunday morning. Then we got up at about 10.30 to X+'s aunt making us a cooked breakfast! The others didn't show up until 2.30pm and the trampoline incident was about 6.30pm. <br /><br />I think Homebody looks at the whole experience as fodder for his writing! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:giffydoll:135566 2008-07-14T15:56:57Z 2008-07-14T15:56:57Z 1) While jumping up and down on a trampoline, Homebody dislocates his thumb.<br />2) On the way to the hospital, they encounter a huge traffic jam due to a horse fair on the next day.<br />3) On leaving the hospital, Neid, in the car, during the rain, through her hoodie, is stung by a wasp.<br /><br />Basically, we had a great time in the country!<br /><br />:)<br /><br /><b>Point of Fashion:</b> No time to think.<br /><b>Current Obsession:</b> sleepy<br /><br />Also, does anyone have either the time to make me an animated gif LJ icon (I have the pics for it) or an easy tutorial for me to do it myself. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:giffydoll:133886 2008-07-04T09:24:16Z 2008-07-04T09:24:16Z 10.16am<br />I'm so hungry, I must eat my lunch now!
