and so alive

[raven]

I had a stupid wanky entry here. I have got rid of it, because it was wanky. Instead, I shall just express joy that my friends-of has reached 200 (wtf, world, wtf, I am boring as toast), and ask politely if anyone has Ryan Adams' So Alive and could possibly upload it for me.

Oh, thank you. I've had a positive craving to hear it again.

*waves* new arrival here, via metaquotes.

I friended you because: you're also in Oxford, you also like girls, you are funny, you are geeky, you write goodfic in fandoms I like, and your writing style is beautiful. You are under no reverse obligation whatsoever with regard to friending.

Hello! Nice to meet you, but d'you know, I think I know who you are. Are you jessikast's friend Meredith, by any chance?

[deepbluemermaid.livejournal.com]

*blinks*

Er, yes. Yes I am. She is the girlfriend of my dear friend laputain.

I am once again reminded of the wonderful weirdness of the internet. How the hell do you know Jessikast? I'm guessing it's a fandom connection...

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

It's sort of a fandom connection, I think; jessikast sent me some lovely postcards from NZ a while ago, and we got to chatting and she mentioned she had a friend here. Anyway, it's nice to meet you, like I said before! Which college do you call home?

[deepbluemermaid.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. And now "It's a small world" is swirling around my brain, for some strange reason!

I'm at St Antony's (graduate college that relatively few undergrads have heard of), doing a DPhil in history.

[parrot-knight.livejournal.com]

It is indeed a small world! :)

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're kidding. *g*

[deepbluemermaid.livejournal.com]

*laughs*
Loneraven, your LJ is like a party - and everyone I know is invited!

I am boring as toast

You see, images like that are part of what make your journal so much fun to read! Besides, toast is nice. *g*

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Heee! Toast is nice, 'tis true.

[foulds.livejournal.com]

I like toast - toast is good. I'd be honoured if somebody compared me to toast

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Shall I compare thee to a piece of toast? Thou art more wholemeal and more temperate.

[foulds.livejournal.com]

Oh, not wholemeal. Please let me be nice white bread, Kingsmill stuff, thick and toastie

[kuteki.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha, but toast is wonderful, just have a look at my journal!

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Gleee! *g*

[rosariotijeras.livejournal.com]

Toast is pretty amazing.

Should I ever end up in Great Britan...well, it just wouldn't work out. "Have got" is correct grammar? No one worships at the shrine of root beer? Coke is not a generic noun for soda pop? MIND BOGGILING.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

"Have got" is perfect grammar. You Yanks and your archaisms. *g* I have never had root beer, I must say. Also, we don't say soda pop, either!

[gamesiplay.livejournal.com]

That's okay; you're not alone. Plenty of Americans will tell you that "pop" for "soda" is wrong, wrong, wrong! :D Arguing over that set of terms is the national pastime.

[rosariotijeras.livejournal.com]

I...it's just...oh, hell, I need to go drink some beer, eat Cheetos and watch football.

[gamesiplay.livejournal.com]

Hee. Let me guess: you're from the South, right? I remain perplexed by the use of "Coke" as a generic term for soda, and I am American!

[rosariotijeras.livejournal.com]

Yes! Outside of Atlanta, actually...the home of Coca-Cola. "What kinda coke d'you want?" is a phrase of much contention with my New York-born parents. ^_^
