Pros and cons of being the eldest

[raven]

Strange day. Very hot, so I've not been in the best and brightest of moods.
Well, I don't have much to write about, except I have definitely not been swept away by a thunderstorm or a tornado. I've not been doing anything but writing, and to my extreme annoyance, the plot bunny I had for this week's contrelamontre challenge has metamorphosed into a longer story. That is, too long for an improv, but too short for me to actually do much with. I am aggravated, but bow to my fickle muses.

You people had better not be forgetting me.

And now for the dilemma of the day. Nupur, bless her heart, has bought me something. She was in Claire's, buying another earring stud to replace the one she lost, and she bought me something. Unlike most, she knows what I like. An uber cute clear plastic cuff with five heavy spikes. I love it.

But she shouldn't have bought it. It's supposed to be me buying her things, not the other way round, and it makes me distinctly uncomfortable. She's such a sweetheart and I know she hasn't got much money, so I tried to stop her, but nothing doing.

However, I have had an idea. Nupur's always leaving her purse lying around. It would be the easiest thing in the world for me to slip a five dollar bill in it, which she hopefully wouldn't find until after I'm gone. The cuff, incidentally, came to $5.25, so that's all right.

Because I can't decide whether or not to actually do this, for fear of offending her or whatever, it's over to you:

Any more thoughts on this, please comment.
I am now going to take a shower. I need one.

We are by no means forgetting you, by the way.

*mwah*

Thank you. And I don't like the way you're so near, and yet so far...

[gamesiplay.livejournal.com]

Me neither. Will you be visiting the US again anytime in the near future?

[fragility-lily.livejournal.com]

You do realize you're impossible to forget and enjoyable to remember?

What they said. --^ How could we forget you? :)

Not for at least another year, but that could well be Washington DC. My beloved pater has long wanted to take me with him when he goes there, so I'm going to try and persuade him for next summer...

You do realise that's one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me?

I love you all.

Here's hoping I'm working in DC again next summer, then. We should drag scarlatti into it, too (if she’s still in the country come next June).

What would be really wonderful would be a mass meeting of the mash-slash group, but that would also be really implausible. ;)

Why don't you just get here something cool? It probably made her feel really good to get you something, and it will make her feel even better if you get her something that kicks ass. That's my advice.

Well, it's something that's worth betting Hawk's virginity on; you've got 100% chance of winning.



(did that make sense?)

A mass meeting of the mash-slash group? Can you imagine the weirdness?
It's quite all right being a Bad Person. I comment from school, which is about the same thing.

Re:

I will try. The difficulty is actually getting here - I have my hands tied, y'know?

Oh - while I'm here - *blush*I need your address. I lost it, and I'm now close enough to post stuff to you without much fear of it breaking.

Re:

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Nope.

But I loved it anyway(!)

Re:

I'll e-mail it to you and it will be all good. *grin!*
