Did I mention how annoyed I was at losing Herbie from Terran? Well, we pissed and moaned, a couple of us prayed, I wished suppurating anal warts the size of oranges on his sysadmin at work and we cut the heart out of a troll by moonlight with an obsidian blade in the staff forum - something seems to have worked because he's back. It makes me childishly, unreasonably happy, although our interaction hasn't been more than light-hearted spammishness for a while now - it doesn't matter, it's all good. In the early days I'd actually become physically aroused at the sight of the orange-and-black PM pop-up... that's worn off, but the little thrill of pleasure hasn't.

And an anonymous troll has been harassing one of my friends - in a very childish, trivial stupid way, but it's still not very pleasant for her. I joked that I was jealous at not being important enough to have people troll me anonymously (no, you don't count, G - I know who you are, as much as anyone can...) but I wouldn't like it any more than she does. Really, the amount of energy people put into being sucky sometimes astonishes me - especially since all he (I think it's probably a he) achieves is to make himself look like a sad loser.

Last night I was sitting here quietly browsing something or other when Squish started howling softly and wouldn't stop till I called him over for a bit of oo-mox... little spotted attention whore. I tell you, after having dogs for so long, I'd be the star attraction at any Ferengi massage parlour. I can make Spike groan and his knees buckle just by rubbing his ears.

The two of them are chasing each other up and down the stairs now. I have Tales of the Dominion War to read when I've exhausted the entertainment possibilities of the Internet, and there's still about a third of the Baileys left. Life is damn good.

*grins*

That was fun.

Hunt liked my dogs. Much fun in the park and they both behaved very well, apart from yanking the leash more than usual.

I'd forgotten how much I loved the Russell-Cotes. I haven't been there in years.

I'm a little drunk now. Bought Bailey's & sherry for the housewarming - still not online at the flat though, because NTL have messed up - apparently whoever I spoke to on the phone failed to complete the transaction so I didn't get a valid PIN number which is necessary to install the broadband. So my lovely Charlotte computer at my lovely flat is about as much use as a doorstop until Monday. Bah! So we came back to Mum's to fire off a couple of quick posts before he had to go catch his train back.

My phone works though! Who wants my number?

Brought the Bailey's with us. I was sitting on the floor with my glass when I heard lapping, and there was Spike helping himself to my Bailey's. Toerag!

I've just spent an hour trawling my friend list for a meme or a quiz or something and I can't find one I like - I suppose it's time to follow the herd with this one, then:

There's been an accident, and my memory's been wiped. I have no recollection of who I am. Tell me about myself. What do you know about me? What kind of person am I? What are my likes and dislikes? How did we meet and how long have we known each other? Is there one thing in particular that stands out about me? Tell me who I am.

I've not answered this one for anybody yet, though. Have to do that in the morning...

(Edit: I've done answers for some of you now. Will get to the others when inspiration strikes...)
