Goodbye

[raven]

That's it from me for a good long while, now. For most of this week, I will be in Egypt. Pedar has a conference in Cairo and my mother and I are tagging along; it should be lovely, as I've never been. No internet access, probably, so I fear the trip will never be chronicled. Heh.

We get back on either Friday night or Saturday morning, I'm not sure which, and drive down to Oxford on Sunday morning (a day early, because Pedar apparently has several clinics on the Monday, but I don't mind), and then I guess it'll be a while before I get the internet on Loki again. Freshers' week is until the ninth, I think, so probably some time before then.

So goodbye, everyone, and I hope you all have a good fortnight. When you hear from me again I'll have left home, and everything will be different. Please don't forget me.

Goodbye, good luck, don't die and I'll talk to you soon.

Yeah PLEASE don't die, don't go on camels or if you do get a funny pic :P

Oh and don't run any over!

You are completely unforgettable, no danger there. Hope you have fun in Egypt... my sister went once, like twenty years ago, but that's as close as I've ever been. Take some notes, and then pile them all together in one LJ entry when you're back.

Miss you already. *hugs*

You are completely unforgettable. Have a great time in Egypt, and in Oxford too. *hugs*

I will not forget you. (Any chance I could have a postcard, please, if you pick this up? I realise Egypt is no match for Watford...)

Egypt! Oxford! Have a wonderful time...

I must turn green with envy now, for I'm a devout fanatic about all things Egyptian and have wanted to go to Cairo for a long, long time. I'm told by a friend living there that they do have internet cafes and you should have some access at your hotel. Take pictures! Have a safe trip.

Have a wonderful time, and good luck with moving in at uni. See you on the flipside.

[jacinthsong.livejournal.com]

Silly, I wouldn't be about to forget you even if I wasn't going to be living round the corner (:D) from you in a week. Yes, you should be afraid...

[jacinthsong.livejournal.com]

Oh, and of course - have a great time! :D

[just-the-ash.livejournal.com]

No, no, you are not forgettable. Trust me on this.

Proof I haven't forgotten you: the tastes of various foods came under discussion at supper today, and I remembered you enquiring what crab tastes like-- so I asked the crab-eating members of the family on your behalf. The conversation goes something like this:

Me: What does crab taste like? I can't remember.
Brother: Good!
Dad: It's seafood-y, stronger than some, meaty texture...
Me: I said it tasted a bit like chicken.
Mum: Texture like chicken, but stronger flavour.
Dad: Stronger, more like other seafood-- why are you asking.
Me: Iona asked. She wondered if she should try it as a sandwich filling.
Brother: Depends if it's fresh or paste.
Mum: Crab has white meat and dark meat.
Dad: Does she like other seafood-- shrimp, lobster?
Brother: Because I like fresh crab, but not paste.
Mum: It's hard to say what food tastes like, anyway. I mean, you can say an apple tastes like a pear, but it tastes more like an apple.
Me: It would, being an apple.
Dad: And you could say it tastes sweet, but if you bit a cooking apple you wouldn't agree.
Brother: *something irrelvant about computers*

So, now you know. They all like it if it's fresh, and they think that in Liverpool you stand a fair chance of getting fresh-from-the-docks (though they're only guessing on that), but that you should skip any you're offered in Oxford as it'll be paste, old, or hideously expensive.

There's an overlong answer to a casual enquiry.
