Wow, the f-list really isn't joking about those earthquakes, is it?

*stands in the doorway*

In other news, I will be incommunicado except by txt from tomorrow until Monday. :) I'm going to Suzuki camp* and so will be in Masterton. Oh, you can text me, if you have my nuber (it's in some f-locked post, Lucy, if you still haven't got it.)

So yay.

Also, conversation I have to write down before I forget it:

T: (something something something) IT WAS FABULOUS.
Nic: *dies* Fabulous? If you were a guy you would so be gay.
Lucy: *IS TOTALLY UNABLE TO MOVE*
T: Um, yes. That is definitely true. *resits the obvious*

It made me LAUGH. *amused*

*it's like geek camp. But with violins.

ETA: Also. Want to know the meaning of life? Copperbadge tells us how. Too cool not to be linked. ;)

Yes, there was another about 20 mins ago?

HAHAHAHAH, moron. So I take it you're not the only one who gets told this?

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Sure was. :D We're all talking about it in wellingtonnz. It's kinda amusing.

How is that me being a moron? Or was he a moron? He's not bad, generally. But it made me laugh and LAUGH.

I don't get the second half of your comment. Explain??

[insane-ophelia.livejournal.com]

Um... perhaps moron isn't the right word? Is there an adjective for someone who is ironic? (moron seemed to fit the category at the time .... I would assume that most people who know you well would have picked/suspected it by now...?)

Uh yeah. I am a gay man on the inside, darling. He is tall and very, very black. And waves his hands a lot. You'll notice it soon.....

Given poor Nic had only met her about twenty minutes prior to this conversation, I would give him points for intuition rather than idiocy.

Mind you, her appreciation of his desktop picture may have contributed to this realisation. ;)

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Well, he doesn't know me well. And actually, nope, except for Catherine, Lucy and Meg no-one I know well has suspected before being told. So.. *shrug*

AHAHAH.

[miriamus.livejournal.com]

I think I suspected.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Really? *ups count*

I want to know how many of the Philosophy girls miht have guessed... *wanders over to monkeypirate*

[divinecirinde.livejournal.com]

Ack, everytime the windows rattle I'm like... "It's happening again!" but it's just a car/truck.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Aw. :( Try to relax. :)

Hah. *uses Song of the Twelve icon* This is amusing, if you're me, and in this fandom.

[divinecirinde.livejournal.com]

Song of Twelve?

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Um. It's kind of a long story, but the Song of the twelve is a magical working and major plot point in

Um. It's kind of a long story, but the Song of the twelve is a magical working and major plot point in <deep wizardry</i>, by Diane Duane. I used the icon because, um, when the Song of the Twelve goes wrong, well, last time it went wrong atlantis sank. Big earthquakes.

Okay, it's kind of an obscure connection. Good book, though.

[divinecirinde.livejournal.com]

Oh, I get it now!

[gabbysun.livejournal.com]

. . . I want to go to a geek camp with violins.

:O

[nzlemming.livejournal.com]

As long as it's not a geek camp with violence

[gabbysun.livejournal.com]

Uh-oh, I don't know about that.

Those violas can get pretty riled up.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

*giggling* When I told the girl I work with where I was going, she heard "boot camp with violence."

It was funny at the time. ;)

well, violas do have reason to be. Just look at the way violins treat us...

[gabbysun.livejournal.com]

Hey now! It's not my fault violins are so awesome.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

*splutters* Well, no, it's not your fault... 'cuase' they're not.

See, the reason for viola jokes is this: violins know, deep down, that violas are FAR superior to them. So they're insecure. So tyhey make jokes about violas to try to feel better.

So really, viola jokes are compliments. Each musician moks they think they love. or something.

[gabbysun.livejournal.com]

. . .

Psh. Whatever. Keep dreaming. If you will notice, major pieces are most often written for . . . what's that I hear? Violins? Yep. You know, there're reasons why we get all the good music . . . better range, lovelier sound . . . our all-encompassing superiority.

I'm terribly sorry to break the truth to you dear.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

talk to the hand.

the greater ,ajority of pieces are written for the violin because the violin is simple and easy to understand. Only truly great composers relaly understand the viola- like Douglas Lilburn and the drysdale overture. BEAUTIFUL viola solos. *awe*

[gabbysun.livejournal.com]

. . . which no one has ever heard of, because no one cares.

the greater majority of pieces are written for the violin because the violin is simple and easy to understand.

You mean that because more people like us and like listening to us that we are so often lauded?

By golly, I do believe you're right.

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Which EVERY NZ orchestral musician has heard of, because Lilburn was a GENIUS. And a new zealander. (And actually I think he has some renown outside NZ too, he trained in NY.)

Um. NO. Do you enjoy Spot books? I mean, as much as you enjoy Pratchett, say? See spot run. Run, Spot, run. Yes, it's easy to understand. That doesn't make it good, or ever pleasant. ;)

THIS IS SO FUN. xDD

[gabbysun.livejournal.com]

New Zealand.

. . .

Well, I mean, I don't even need to say anything now. You've basically proved my point for me.


Not a good analogy, I'm afraid. Try again.

Re: THIS IS SO FUN. xDD

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

OH, YOU ARE SO GOING TO DIE WHEN sixth_light GETS HER HANDS ON YOU.

RUN.

RUN NOW, FAR, FAR AWAY.

*SICS F-LIST* (only not, because I would never do that to you.... but still...)

Re: THIS IS SO FUN. xDD

[gabbysun.livejournal.com]

BRING IT ON.

Re: THIS IS SO FUN. xDD

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU.

Re: THIS IS SO FUN. xDD

[gabbysun.livejournal.com]

O SNAP.

[nzlemming.livejournal.com]

I'm with you. Violas are much sexier than violins - deeper and gruntier. When I grow up I'm going to write a duet for viola and baritone sax, two of the bestest instruments in the world.

Hey, where ya been? Camp was over days ago. ;-)

Are you still looking for a laptop? Email me if you are - I have a lead...

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

*snort* Actually, I don't find insturments themselves sexy. That's freaky.

On the other hand, there's nothing more attractive than a really skilled musician.

:P I've been stuck sans computer- Dad took it off us, and then before that it was broken. I'm probably not looking for a laptop any more, because Dad's been throwing tantrums- thanks for the thought, though... :)

[nzlemming.livejournal.com]

Freaky? Moi?!? Hah! (You don't know the half of it. Just how many of those items on the kissing list do you really want to tick off???)

And it's the "sound" that's sexy, anyway. A truly skilled musician would understand that. :-p

(Unless your a cello fanatic and then it's- no, no, that's right, you're a minor, we dont go there)

Shame about the PC thing - I dare not think what you were using it for...

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

GROSS.

Excuse me, "your," you're, "dont", don't. Unless you meant to use the French dont there. *pedantic*

*eyeroll* the PC wasn't broken, the connection was broken. Dad was trying to do something complicated to it and fucked it up.

[miriamus.livejournal.com]

Masterton?? Woo. I'll text you when my phone's done charging. And you won't see this til after that... hope you have as much fun as I did in Dunners!

hello

[(Anonymous)]

hey it's ur long lost lost friend jenni. i would have signed on as me but i can't remember my password. do u still know it? hmm why r u at geek camp again? i don't have much to say really. just checking in with you. and i know you didn't like the sound of him anyway but martins friend cameron who i thought u wud be cute with has a gf. not that u care but anyway, apparently she's french. jealous? yeah me too. hmm so i was talking to nicola but she went quiet. might have something to do with me loving martin again. you guys are so sceptical bout us but i'm determined not to fuck it up this time! and he's great.....*sigh* anyway, how are you? i g2g now, bored of myself, tata

Re: hello

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

I think I do, actually. I'll check some time and email the password to you.

I was at geek camp 'cause it's fun and I have heaps of friends there and it's probably my last one and WAH I'M GOING TO MISS THEM. I <3 my music friends...


Hmm, french girlfriend... okay, I could be jealous of that. ;)

AND HELLO, you didn't "fuck it up." Possibly the reason we're so sceptical about it is that I've read Sons and Lovers, and you've read sons and lovers, and even you think your relationship sounds like the one between Paul and Miriam, okay? *stressed*

Re: hello

[(Anonymous)]

firstly i wasn't stressed and why does everything in life have to relate to bloody sons and lovers? i'm serious i didn't even finish that stupid book and evertime something happens someone finds they can relate to that god forsaken book! i come up soon yay! i so can't wait but i don't want to leave my precious darling - monty that is lol. well i might go now but i want to hear from you more. even if its a two word email. so yeah, have fun being you
love me

Re: hello

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

That was ME being stressed there. ;)

You know, YOU were the one who made that comparision. I've NEVER used S&L as a comparision to ANY other part of your life (I mean, I didn't finish it either, so...) and the reason we seem to talk about it a lot is becuse there is this one issue that's really important to you that we talk about a lot.

But you know what, I was thinking the other day, and I was thinking I wasn't really being supportive about this. And I decided that made me a total bitch, and a crap friend. So you're dating Martin again. :) Congratulations. :D

(Also, this reminds me of another book by Alyssa Brugman. A girl's friend has moved out of home and in with her boyfriend, who the girl thinks is a loser.* She tries to explain that to her friend, but her friend doesn't see it that way, so the girl goes and complains to her mother and asks for advice. Her mother tells her to be supportive; the girl replies that doesn't that mean that she's not looking after her friend? Her mother points out that whatever she says, her friend is going to move in with this fellow- and if they fight about it, not only will it destroy their friendship** but that, if the relationship does go wrong, her friend won't come to her for advice- because it would be like admitting she'd been right all along, allow her to sit in judgement. A really caring friend, said the mother, would make sure she wasl always there for her friend when she was needed- instead of cutting her off when she might need her the most.)

Um. Email. Okay. it's kinda herd at the moment because the computer's broken. Can't you just checkback here More often??? :)

XXOO
Tui

PS: I got your text this morning. Know any nice 23 year old dectectives?? :D
*I don't think Martin's a loser, that wasn't the bit it reminds me of.
**I don't think it would ruin our friendship either.
