I've been Christmas shopping.

I forgot how much I love Christmas shopping, actually- only remembered just now. It's funny, it's this really Zen state you enter where you're wandering through town- the best thing to do is to work out, beforehand, at least one present, preferably one you're going to have to go to several locations to complete (I usually have a couple like this.) So you make a list of names, then you go after this present running the names over in your head. And what you get- seriously- is you get moments of epiphany. I do, anyway. I had a really good one today, I think. :D Find out this Thursday, but I think it's a pretty good one... :) So that's why I lvoe it, because for these moments you jsut feel SO good, because you know you're getting something that someone's gonna love. Beats making a list, too, because it always ends up way more personal.

I do like shopping. :D

Byt the way, guess who came into the shop today and said "I kenw you worked here, I've been reading your journal?"

Guess.

Everyone's favourite stalker conservative Wellington College boy.

That's right.

It was STEVE. *shakes*

I dunno. I was actually a little bit uncomfortable with that- not him reading it (although I can think of people I'd prefer to have reading my journal) but the idea of this guy, who I don't dislike but don't know very well and who has, let's face it, been a real bastard to people close to me, reading my journal and never commenting once. It's... disturbing.

Anyway, he said I should read his, but he didn't give me an address- he shouted out what sounded like "teenage blunder dot blogspot dot com." I THINK that was it. But I tried all those variants and found nothing so, Steve, if you're reading this, be a darling and tell us your addy, will you?>

*amused* Have I mentioned I love & adore sixth_light?? She maketh me LAUGH.

For this to be funny, you have to know a little bit about Sophie Ivory. Now, I don't like her because I've only ever known her on Saturday mornings when, according to Lucy, she is Not in Good Moods due to being something of a wild party girl. ;) Lucy goes to school with her, and swears up and down she's the sweetest person ever... with a few other traits. Now, I believe everyone knows a Soph: the kind of girl the word "ditz" was invented to describe, sweet and funny and DUMB.

This is what Lucy says of her (actually a character who shares certain traits with her in one of L's original works, and in response to a comment of mine suggesting that the character in question was pointless and annoying and I thought Lucy LIKED Sophie.)

"I DO like Sophie Ivory. Sophie's value to the world, however, is not
in her mad fantasy world skillz. It's in her personality. When Sophie
is around, nothing seems too depressing. (And you never feel like the
dumbest person in the room, either.)"

*AMUSED AMUSED AMUSED*

Oh, man, guys, the door won't open for me. This is really shitting me off. How do you turn of pop-up blockers for a site where EVERYWHERE YOU CAN RIGHT-CLICK is Flash and you can't find the bloody program?

ETA: I find myself reluctantly impressed with our pop-up blocker- I can't get the damn things even when I want them.... *cries*
