Randomness

[ladyofastolat]

Random thing no. 1: When I was in a pre-school last week, I read stories to a three year old called "Zeus." I was very careful not to annoy him! When you go into schools, you get very used to bizarre names, but I've never found it quite so hard not to laugh.

Random thing no. 2: There's a pub near Pellinor's work that proclaims, "If you enter as a stranger you will only leave as a friend." Pellinor and I both think this is a threat, but no-one at his work seems to think it is. Are we weird, or are they?

Random thing no. 3: I was excited to find "Ptolemy's Gate" in this week's approvals - book three in the series by Jonathan Stroud that started with "The amulet of Samarkand." I was so excited that I grabbed it there and then, took it home... and have proceeded not to open it all weekend.

Oh, and I actually had about nine hours' sleep last night, for the first time in a few years! And I've not procrastinated at all today, and have done lots and lots and lots of useful things. Woo-hoo!

Oh. And now I've just found out that role-playing is happening here tonight. Cleaning was not one of the useful things I did today. Oh dear...

EDIT: And I should add at this point that I am not remotely jealous or bitter or twisted about the fact that certain people have spent the weekend watching Serenity a few hundred times. *gnashes teeth.* Oh no, not jealous at all. *goes muttering back to the cleaning*

It's obviously a conspiracy. They're all "friends"

Ah. Good point. That must be it! I'm even more determined to avoid that pub now...

So are most people here at work, especially since a manager decided it would be a good place to take someone to have his year-end appraisal. There they were, two men sitting having a confidential chat over a pint or two, and it sudddenly dawned on them that everyone else in the pub was male, and in couples...

Oooh, suddenly the pub seems more attractive to me...

...I still find that slogan *very* disturbing though!

Why, I have no idea who you are talking about.

*glares darkly*

Um... not that I'm jealous, of course. Oh no.

It's just so tempting to click on the cut in your journal and read your reactions, but I can't. I just can't. *whimpers*. I've ruined so many things for myself by giving in and reading spoilers, but I want to be firm this time. (Well, except for the spoilers I read by mistake months ago.)

Truly you don't want to read what I wrote until you've seen the movie. Some of it is pure emotional reaction, but there are also plenty of spoilers strewn haphazardly through it all.
