Already on it, cheers

I'm having a really horny day today. All the girls in the office have suddenly become the most beautiful people in the world, and many naughty thoughts have been entering my head, usually involving the ladies' glasses falling off.

There's a camera crew in my office!

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 14 December 2006 12:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Ooooh, hott producer for me, hott sound-guy for you?

Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:08 (seventeen years ago) link

No, just fat bankers and old cameramen.

I had a strange attack of Teh Horn when I was on the train this morning, it wasn't a specific horn, it was just the desire to kiss, the abstract desire for sex, just as a hole or absence to be filled up. It was quite odd, it wasn't really focused on a specific person though I am still suffering with crush. I think it was hormones and/or fever.

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:10 (seventeen years ago) link

oh dear JB!

I just popped into town with the goth - and of course someone noticed us getting into my car together.

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Maybe it's lip balm, too. It always makes me rub my lips together to spread it out all around my mouth, so perhaps it makes my lips wish for more action.

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:14 (seventeen years ago) link

You shouldn't have had your furry handcuffs on her then FP!

pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:16 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm not in a crush at the moment, so any horn I have at the moment is suitably abstract. My usual lustings veer violently between cuddling and giving a good hard seeing to - today it's the latter.

FP, you were giving a lift to The Goth - that's not SUCH a bad thing, is it? I get lifts into town all the time, and no tongues are wagging. Unless she got in your boot or something.

(FP is probably getting bored of this by now.)

Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Well I think people have been getting a bit suspicious already that a) she spends her lunch breaks in my office b) we email each other a lot.

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh noes, you have a FRIEND! How suspicious!

ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Pissing. Drinking water. You've only got yourself to blame. Unless of course you're just boasting.

I'm enjoying the crush at the moment. I've just been annoyingly happy and in a good mood. Then again, that could be to do with the enourmous sense of freedom and weights being lifted from my shoulders WRT other bits of my life. Who knows. It's so rare that I'm just unqualifiedly happy that I'm just going to enjoy it.

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:24 (seventeen years ago) link

WHY ISN'T PBW RESPONDING TO MY EMAIL?!?!?

Oh wait, I haven't sent it yet.

I need a new TLA for him. I think that "PBW" is kinda objectifying perhaps.

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:41 (seventeen years ago) link

MITMBMAHTMF?

that is just a Gerry named Onimo (nu_onimo), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:56 (seventeen years ago) link

PBW is his name now. If you invent a new TLA, then we won't know who the hell you're talking about. By even TALKING about him you're objectifying him, so you may as well stick to what you (and everyone else) knows.

FP, you're fine. So people think you two are messing - and? So? Does anyone really give a toss? (in a nice way, of course)

Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:56 (seventeen years ago) link

oh wait, that's more than 3

that is just a Gerry named Onimo (nu_onimo), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Well, *we* don't, which is the important thing I guess.

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Flags Up for FP!

M Grout (Mark Grout), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:12 (seventeen years ago) link

So why the angst? Or am I reading it as angst and you're actually pleased that people have noticed?

ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:13 (seventeen years ago) link

MITMBMAHTMF

What is this short for? Should I ask?

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:13 (seventeen years ago) link

I think it's pronounced "Mitmbmahtmf"

M Grout (Mark Grout), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:15 (seventeen years ago) link

More Interesting (I should have gone for "Intellectually Stimulating" here) Than My (shit, forgot "Former") Band Mates And HOTTER Than My Friends

(based on a willful misreading of this)

Onimo has his finger in the stink (nu_onimo), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:22 (seventeen years ago) link

oops

remove interesting
add intelligent

Onimo has his finger in the stink (nu_onimo), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:23 (seventeen years ago) link

I have just found out what the film crew is for - Dutch television are doing a Watchdog type programme about Endowment Mortgages*, which are just starting to get popular/problematic in the Netherlands. So they just filmed mortgage expert dude walking through the office and then dropping down to talk to the girl who sits right next to me - as I've got ILX open in one window, and Yahoo mail in another. Argh!


*Yes, this company invented them. Blame us.


x-post ah. That is a bit clumbsy. Perhaps I can carry on calling him PBW, or "he's not Jesus, but he has the same initials"

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Just to torment me, all the hott girls in Tesco were inexplicably wearing pyjamas today when I went in to get lunch. Sigh.

Off to the party in 15 mins = yay me! The plan is to win big at the casino, impress an elvish beauty in a satin dress with my swooning, dance like Fred Astaire, then take her back to my hotel room for the best shag ever.

Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:37 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, with expectations like that, how could you possibly end up disappointed!

(good luck)

ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:40 (seventeen years ago) link

(I know the reality is that I'll turn up half-drunk, get very drunk very quickly, vom all over afor-mentioned elvish beauty, pass out, then wake up in a ditch somewhere, bow-tie, job and reputation lying in tatters.)

Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Well I think people have been getting a bit suspicious already that a) she spends her lunch breaks in my office b) we email each other a lot.

c) she is chained up during those lunch breaks.

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey, don't be nicking my Christmas party from a couple of years back!

(substitute "elvish beauty" for "barmaid's shoes" and "ditch" for "last train to Paisley except now in Troon". also I don't wear a bow tie. And I don't even think it was Christmas.)

ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Back from pointless meeting.

PBW's doubtless not responding as he is on a plane to NYC at THIS VERY MOMENT.

I got an email while I was out from my mom, saying that my grandmother is doing better than she was but still not great--without telling me what happened! I hate when they do that.

g000blar (g00blar), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:48 (seventeen years ago) link

So why the angst?

I'm just constantly worried that it's all about to go horribly wrong.

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:50 (seventeen years ago) link

In that case, how does other people knowing about it make any difference?

G00blar, yeah, my mum does stuff like that all the time "your brother's got the pins out of his back now", like WTF?

ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:53 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm about to call her, and I'm sure she's gonna say, "We didn't want to worry you, what with you getting on a plane today".

g000blar (g00blar), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Ah! I didn't know that. I did send him a message yesterday going "this is great, but I need more time to respond!" which he did read. But now I feel less guilty that I still haven't sent the email already.

Argh, that sounds irritating, though - "she's OK, won't tell you what was wrong". My family, thankfully, never do that. You'll just get a blunt phone call. "Sitting down? Good. Your grandmother's dead."

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:56 (seventeen years ago) link

OK, nothing too serious, just a bit of a cold, along with some loneliness. She is 94.

g000blar (g00blar), Thursday, 14 December 2006 15:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Scare ya half to death, jeez!

(Didn't mean to imply that your gran was dead - that's just how my mum told me about mine.)

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 14 December 2006 15:08 (seventeen years ago) link

My gran is 93. She's been breathless lately and theres some form of water around her heart, they've given her water tablets to help alleviate that. Hopefully that will work. She's too frail to get any kind of op. She is housebound now and needs someone looking after her all the time.

pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 14 December 2006 15:12 (seventeen years ago) link

My biggest unrealistic but always back-of-the-mind guilt trip for the past couple of years is that I haven't moved to Hamilton, Ontario to look after/spend time with my grammy at the end of her life.

g000blar (g00blar), Thursday, 14 December 2006 15:14 (seventeen years ago) link

If my grandparents had wanted their descendents to move halfway around the world and look after them in their old age, maybe they should have gone and actually looked after their sprogs when they were young instead of dumping them in boarding schools while they went off around the world.

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 14 December 2006 15:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Touche!

g000blar (g00blar), Thursday, 14 December 2006 15:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Bitter, moi?

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 14 December 2006 15:20 (seventeen years ago) link

I am the world's fastest packer. I think I'll be done by quarter to four.

g000blar (g00blar), Thursday, 14 December 2006 15:25 (seventeen years ago) link

That reminds me.

On returning from Holiday, Dawn rings her mum. She says she has some bad news, and asks to talk to me.

Rings off.

Dawn, by now is on the verge.

Basically, their much loved dog had to be put down. But by then, she thought it was her dad or something!

M Grout (Mark Grout), Thursday, 14 December 2006 15:29 (seventeen years ago) link

In that case, how does other people knowing about it make any difference?

Oh, I don't know, I just worry.

She's been in a bad mood all week, and I'm worried that it might be a comedown from what we did at the weekend - such things are very common, but she won't be aware of that.

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Thursday, 14 December 2006 15:40 (seventeen years ago) link

It's quarter to, are you done packing yet?

Finally finished my email. And only one bitchy comment about Dylan.

And a dialogue re-opened with ex bandmate, and some interesting potential progression.

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 14 December 2006 15:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Nah, taking a break. BTW, I'll have to send you a proper report on "Meet Market" from the other side of the ocean, but first impressions are totally fucking awesome.
