Parents have decided against storing anything but my books for me, which. YAY BOOKS! But at the same time, sadfaces over all the CDs, tapes, videos and clothes that are now heading charityshopwards. And all my junk, too! All the Random Plecs I've collected, and the stuffed toys, and the varied suchlikes. No idea how I'm going to transport those things that I refuse to throw away.

What this means practically is that I'm going to be online for, like, all day while I upload all my CDs for condensing onto blank DVDs to take home with me, so I can transport considerably less. Therefore if you'd like to comment with questions, tales or conversational gambits I'll be talkative to the extreme.

*hopeful face?*

(Not sure how this extra luggage is going to impact on my potential traveling to London, but it ain't looking likely. :/)

Consider it a, whatsit. One of my friends did this recent, he chucked out 90% of his stuff and made several zen statements about how great it was. Sounds like a nightmare to me. :(

It's not so much a Decisive Life Moment if you're forced into it by your parents, though, is it? I consider my lack of pouting as evidence that I've grown, and as such feel free to squeak as much as I feel necessary over the small toys. :D

Hey, I can empathise entirely here, my mother did the same to me when I was 20 - she sold the house and went "anything you cannot get your grandparents to take/fit into your room in halls goes to the charity shop" and then she went to Peru. Then my grandparents said they were selling their house, too.

So, you know. It comes to most of us in time. EXCEPT MY BOYFRIEND BECAUSE HIS PARENTS ARE LESS POO.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it does us good or something. It's not like I'm going to fit into any of those clothes any time soon, anyway, although I'm totally thinking about joining a local gym in the new year. Not so much 'cos I want to be thinner - although I'm sick of having such fucking trouble finding something that FITS ME in charity shops - but because I want to feel fitter.

Also I want to be able to run from zombies.

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

Can you afford the gym? I hear YMCA gyms are cheaper than normal ones if that's any help. Throwing out clothes I have no problem with, one can always redistribute them to thinner friends, but sometimes childhood toys have, you know, personal value. So I get you there.

... zombies move more slowly than stoners, dude. You'll be fine. HAVE MORE CAKE.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Hahahahahaha caaaaaaake. My mum's really pissed off because of how much everyone's praising my dad's cooking this year. SO GOOD. Two christmas puds, a cake, and a welsh christmas loaf, whatever that might be.

No idea if I can afford a gym. I'll look into it - I owe the world and his dog money right now, so it'll depend. Should probably buy a bike instead. :D

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

Or - and I know this is a radical idea - how about not spending any more money, and just running the bit you used to walk?

HAHA. Oh, poor your mum. We have in-law cake (delicious, I have been eating it with Wensleydale cheese, om nom) and the rest from the local bakery. Who are aces.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Because I'm less likely to arrive looking like a sweat-soaked freak biscuit on a bike?

*grins*

I'll ponder it. At present it is the holidays, so I'm not thinking at all. I'm just playing board games and all those other family things; it's mostly pleasant, actually, and'll probably be more so now the elder sister has left.

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

Well, if you have other teachers who cycle to work I imagine they probably shower when they get in anyway - I dunno, people did that in my old workplace, cycled in then did the thing, shower, change of clothes, KAPOW ready to face the day.

I love the way you say "family things" like I have any clue what "family" entails. ;0

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Family means loving to death the people who annoy the absolute piss out of you. Which is why the idea that it has anything to do with blood and genetics is entirely overrated.

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

Congratulations I think this means we're related.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

*gleeful*

INCEST!

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

INCEST IS BEST. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

That is the party line around your parts. Which sounds ruder than I meant it to, and entirely more apt.

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

I don't think it really helps that I read that as "around your pants" and I was about to point out that, still being in my pyjamas, I am not actually wearing any.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

I am also in pyjamas, which means jogging bottoms and a barenaked ladies shirt. Also a kerchief over my hair, 'cos I'm doin' rummagins.

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

You are like some sort of lesbian icon, man. I have PROPER jammies. And, er, army socks. WOO FASHION STATEMUNT.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Oooooh, I LIKE! Although it must be said I kinda like a boy at present. My mum is almost pathetically pleased. *facepalms*

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

btw, I mentioned that to my boy and he said, "I hope she doesn't mean one of her pupils".

... SEE WHAT A HIGH OPINION PEOPLE HOLD OF YOU. :P

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Jesus fuck, no! I cannot understand, I genuinely cannot even begin to conceive of how people find their pupils attractive because they are so often such little shits!

*shudders*

Give him the finger for me, would you? XD

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

I will insert the finger somewhere when he's not asleep from nightshifts, but you have to admit, if you keep saying "boy" and you work in education ... ;) What's his profile?

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Alright, bloke then. He's a little younger than me and works in my department, plays a lot of rugby and has an adorable smile which is entirely too frequently aimed at me. :D

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

Aww, going out with someone from work = disaster! However, he does sound nice.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

'Going out' is never a consideration when I like someone. Whether or not they will allow me to talk to them without shuddering in distaste is.

XD

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

Don't make me go find that photo from your birthday in which you looked JEALOUSY-INDUCINGLY HOT.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHYAHYA sadly he was too drunk that night to meet up, but he texted me three times the next day to apologise.

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

SEEEEEE. Aww, he has mannirs and everything. I bet your mum popped a plum at that one.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Sister just broke up with longterm boyfriend, so I just suspect mum is getting increasingly desperate for grandbabies.

EW.

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

Dude, can't your brother knock someone up? Hasn't he already? I bet if you just nudge hard enough you can persuade him to spill a nut in some lady.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

I REPEAT, EW!

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

I am your inner fratboy.

[jumperkid.livejournal.com]

Hello! Happy Holidays!!

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Hey hey! I very much like your icon, darlin'. How's your week been?

[jumperkid.livejournal.com]

Why, thank you! It is my Very Special Holiday Icon! My week's been nice! I took a couple days off of work, so I'm at home, hangin' with the family! It's fun to not have to cook for myself and sleep in. ;)

[jumperkid.livejournal.com]

Pee. Ess. How have YOU been?!
