slashmas

[sarren]

Bunny attempted to put Black-cat down the toilet yesterday. Luckily I got there in time - I felt like I was in one of those slow motion 'Nooooooo' scenes. My cat, while surprisingly forbearing of Bunny lugging her around, earned her reputation for random violence honestly.

Bunny doesn't need any more pet-related scars.

On the subject of the Slashmas party. Great name, btw, whoever came up with it. Seemed like everyone had fun.

Quote of the day, I think it was scrat saying wistfully, 'Remember the early days of the slash gang, when songvids would be on in the background, now it's kids' shows...' What? They don't like Mary Poppins? There's singing!

Also, we celebrate Jody's birthday on this day too. For about a minute and half, as she doesn't like to be the centre of attention. This year we've had her prezzie since Swancon, when she saw a $200 stuffed dragon at the artshow.

Jody - Oh wow this is amazing. I think I have to get it.
Me - Don't be silly. It's a waste of money.
Jody - But it's beautiful. I really really want it.
Me. Don't waste your money, you've got more important things to spend your money on haven't you?
Jody (reluctantly) I guess...but I really love it.
Me (stern) Jody! You don't need it! Where will you keep it? You don't have that much room.
Jody. *sad*
emma_in_oz DON'T BE SO MEAN sarren!
Me *whisper* I'M BUYING IT FOR HER!
emma_in_oz oops.

Yes cos I randomly go around being mean to my friends.


So, we surprise Jody with this big silver wrapped prezzie. Jody looks amazed and pleased, there's an air of expectation, of tension...

Bunny *gleeful* IT'S A DRAGON.

Me *facepalm*

I was about to get all indignant on your ass, but then I checked my Out folder..and then my Trash and my reply was there with a line beside it (no idea what that means) so - sorry.

to recap - i have a family thing on the day but I'm still trying to pin people down about the actual time, will come if I can.

Thanks for the invite.

Pudding?

[scotsnow.livejournal.com]

That sounds almost like a ... feasable explanation. :)

Time: from 1pm.

Pudding: yes. Also, cake. Mmmmm.

Cos, you know, I'm still bitter from the broken lemon pudding promise.........................

Yes, and Cath is aware of this, hence her desire to make amends. *grin*

Thanks

Actually, it was more like 'It's a DWAGON'.


And thank you for the fabulous presents you gave me for Christmas.

ROTFLMAO!

What is it with little kids and the complete inability to keep a secret?!?! A gave my robe a significant look this morning and said, "THAT's not your surprise."

You know, chocolate's a pretty sure-fire bribe :)

You know, chocolate's a pretty sure-fire bribe

Actually, that's another funny story. A doesn't eat chocolate. Ever. Why? Because there's a Thomas the Tank Engine story where Percy accidentally goes through a chocolate factory and ends up covered in chocolate. The other engines tease him and call him "Dirty Percy." She was almost two when she saw it, and it provoked the only honest-to-God fit of hysteria A has ever had. To this day, over a year later, she still won't eat chocolate.

Was she upset because he was being teased or did she think something horrible had happened to him?

[thisisbone.livejournal.com]

All of the above, I think! We explained that he got a nice bath and a new coat of paint, but the taint remained. ;)

Aw, poor A.

I'm not big on the sweets, but I keep chocolate in the freezer for when Bunny injures herself - she's a tough little thing and it takes a lot to make her cry . (not counting tantrums) Put a small piece of chocolate in her mouth though and all's right with her world. Occasionally she tries it on and I respond with 'Is there blood? No? Points for trying.'

interesting icon, btw
