Hear ye! Hear ye! Impulse decision!

[maharetr]

Counting my chickens before they hatch here, because I don't even know if the laptop will be returing in one piece yet, but I've realised that I've never properly christened the laptop or the connection of wireless broadband. Getting a new hard drive is a fresh start as any, so I hereby announce that I wish to hold a smut reading gathering on the nearest possible date after everything has been restored to proper working order. Any takers?

Smut. Reading. Wanna be there.
Hoping that I won't do the last minute double booking thing again.

*wags finger sternly* You'd better not! :D

How long is the laptop meant to be gone, again? Because if you want long enough, I'd get to come, and that would be really, really exciting.

Though I suppose that my flat could also be cristened with a smut reading gathering, as I have never been to one and that would also be exciting.

Because we need more excuses to read smut?
*dislikes the waiting*
You should be in Perth now.

I dislike the waiting as well, love, trust me. If you have lots and lots of money to get me there with, please let me know and I'll move much, much faster. Oh, probably need our passports to show up, too. And get visas.

Stupid waiting.

Multiple smut readings! Oh, I'm so for that!

I've never even been to a smut reading, let alone hosted one. Could I make lots and lots of little appetisers and finger foods to make people eat? Because that's the sort of thing that I love.

I've been to a total of one, which so totally makes me the resident expert ;). Standard fare for any slashy gathering I've been to is BYO junk food/healthy food, and money for contribution to pizza. If you wish to spoil us rotten with finger foods, we would merely love you all the more :-*

I like making food for people. It's one of the great pleasures in my life. Trille and I were talking the other day, and I said that I'd really like to have a once a month movie brunch thing, and just let people show up around two, feed them brunch, watch movies, have supper around seven or eight and then ship them off home. I think that'd be brilliant.

Three weeks for the uni applications, then how long??
*wails and looses all semblance of patience* God, I can't imagine how much it sucks from your end, having to wait.

[vegetariansushi.livejournal.com]

If all goes according to plan, and I get accepted and all of that, I'll likely be there at the very start of July or the last day or two of June. So that's not too bad, since once I find out from the unis, I'll have to start packing and shipping things straight away, pretty much. And then y'all can listen to me agonise about if I should take ALL my Tolkien books, or only the ones that I HAVE to read, and if I should take all the Laura Ingalls Wilder books, or just the ones I love the best, and if I should take the jeans that only fit sometimes but make my ass look great, or just the jeans that always fit. And won't THAT be fun?

Seriously, though, I love to cook, and in a perfect world, I'd have people in for a meal at least once a week. My family is really big, and everyone always gathers here, so cooking a full meal for 30 people does not phase me at all. Cooking a party for 75 does not really phase me much either, come to that, other than that I generally have to borrow dishware.

I think you just described my social life.

Well, the part about having people over regularly and watching stuff and talking. I make them bring their own food, usually. Or Dragonfly cooks. I'm so the guy.

[vegetariansushi.livejournal.com]

It sounds like a good life to me, frankly.

I'm one of those pathetically maternal types. Person cleaning up vomit after parties? Me. Person insisting that proper meals be eaten together? Me. Person scolding people about going to the doctor and taking medication? Me. It's awful.

Finger food!

Smerk. How rude.

*thinks for a second*
*jaw drops*

You are a dirty, dirty girl. That is completely not even what I meant. Naughty.

count me in! I'll be there with Dinah, my lap top, and more smut that you can imagine.
