I shamelessly pillaged this idea from mhalachaiswords

Bored much?

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Verily!

Alrighty -- so who do you think is going to win Eurovision this year? The semi-finals are on tonight, with finals on Saturday, coming to you all the way from Helsinki!!

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

I know what Eurovision is, but I've never seen it. So who do you think is going to win?

[idontlikegravy.livejournal.com]

Who cares, thanks to Eurovision there's no new Doctor this week! Die Eurovision Die!

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Dang! Those were some sort of outfits. I think I've been blinded.

[jhava.livejournal.com]

And add cheesy music, cheesier dancers, and completely over the top commentating, and you've got a fabulous evening! ::slinks into hiding to avoid the glares of fellow Whovians being deprived of their fix this Saturday::.

[dejla.livejournal.com]

You and me both. And I thought the Mary Jane and Supergirl figurines were bad...

[idontlikegravy.livejournal.com]

What are you thinking about right now? Don't wait until you come up with a clever or witty answer, just type whatever is in that fertile brain of yours. :)

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Tamarisk removal and revegitation with native plants.

You asked! [g]

[idontlikegravy.livejournal.com]

LOL And you replied honestly, just as requested. Thank you. :)

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

This was why (http://www.thespectrum.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070510/NEWS01/70510001/1002), in case you were wondering. Local paper where my parents live.

[idontlikegravy.livejournal.com]

Ah, it all makes sense now.

It's funny, we have problems in the UK with aggressive American plants destroying our natives and upsetting the eco-system. It never occurred to me that you might have the same kinds of problems in the US.
Huh, you learn something new everyday.

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's a major problem all over the country with different plants being the villains. Here, Eucalyptus is a real problem, and broom and pampas grass. In the south, it's things like kudzu which literally buries the area.

[otterevil.livejournal.com]

Kudzu!!! Run! Run for your lives!!!!!!

I really should try to work on that kudzu monster story. I bet I could sell it :)

Thought You Should Know...

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

I've eaten two donuts, and now I feel icky.

Re: Thought You Should Know...

[dejla.livejournal.com]

Have a nice hot cup of tea.

I'm going to get a donut.

Re: Thought You Should Know...

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

I've had [counts] five? cups of tea [g] At least!

[dragon-within.livejournal.com]

*dances an Irish jig*
*trips on two left feet*
*falls on face*

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Have some whisky [g]

[dragon-within.livejournal.com]

LOL Gladly!

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Open thread! Cool!

So, how's it going?

When did you first start to fangirl Peter Wingfield?

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Not bad! Opened my check to discover I'd gotten a raise!

Probably the first Methos episode [g] But I think the real fangirlyness started after the first con I met him at: Anglicon in 1997. He wasn't a disappointment in RL, which was a nice unexpected extra!

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

know what works *wonders*? post a blank entry.....

i did. twice. :D

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

I'll have to keep that one in mind!

[trystan830.livejournal.com]

and every 6-8 weeks or so, i post a random entry....check out my random (http://trystan830.livejournal.com/tag/random) tag to see what they're all about. :D

Pirates are yummy...at least the new fangled clean ones. The real ones smelled and had bad teeth. Now, really, most people back then most likely smelled and had bad teeth but I'm pretty sure pirates ate even worse than the rest. But they got to play with cannons and sail ships and they didn't have to deal with Navy superiors. I've often wondered whether over all in a lifetime one would make more money from pirate swag or from prize money.

But I digress. I was saying that pirates are yummy...and I can prove it: http://pics.livejournal.com/some_day_soling/pic/001afq5b/g186

We loves us some Captian Jack!

*runs thru room with a nerfgun*

[mischief5.livejournal.com]

*chases after you with a Supersoaker*

[sharpiesgal.livejournal.com]

*grabs bucket of cold water and throws at you*

[mischief5.livejournal.com]

*ducks* Nananabooboo!

[mischief5.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking about shaving my head, shaving my cats, and knitting Methos a sweater that actually fits him.

One problem: I don't know how to knit. Would he mind if the sweater is crocheted?

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

I've heard of hair shirts, but that's carrying it a bit far! LOL

I think a crocheted sweater would be quite nice.

[dejla.livejournal.com]

I want to know why she's stopped with her head hair. There ought to be other hair she can think about -- shaving.

*runs away very very fast*

[mischief5.livejournal.com]

This may be TMI but I'm rather hairless in other places. Yeah, going bald and not in a good way. *sigh*

*Shoots you with my Supersoaker*

[dejla.livejournal.com]

Interesting. What an odd place--never mind.

*shrieks and runs to get cream pie*

[mischief5.livejournal.com]

Orange, black, tabby, white and blonde. With grey roots. Very pretty.

*Shoots you, too!*

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

You're the tabby hair? [weg]

[dejla.livejournal.com]

Oh, no! Her cat has grey roots!!

[mischief5.livejournal.com]

So does my pussy...cat.

[dejla.livejournal.com]

Laughs hysterically and gives up on throwing cream pie. It's coconut cream--it's more appropriate to eat it.

[dejla.livejournal.com]

Never told me if you had any new thoughts on rereading Ravens. Or what's done of Simple Gifts.

There. That'll keep you busy for--hmmm--one message.

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

I was so sleepy when I read them on vacation, my memory is all fogged over. Plan on re re reading them over the next little while! Then I'll let you know.

[keerawa.livejournal.com]

What could I learn about you by close examination of your refrigerator? Inside or outside, your choice.

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Since I share the fridge, it would be a mixed bag. I always have milk, butter (salted & unsalted), cheese, and eggs. I always try to have heavy cream. We also almost always have lemons and limes. Let's see... natural peanut butter, jam of some sort, and two types of lemoncello. So you could gather I like to cook and bake from scratch, and we're very fond of dairy and citrus and citrus drinks?
