Nation Dates?

[matgb]

Gah, I hate April 1st, you get far too many wacky stupidities going on. What on earth made them pretend Nation States is a dating game? On the other hand. silentgreeneyes? Using a very complicated formula, we have determined that your ideal mate is The Rogue Nation of Dot-topia


Had an Open Day at work yesterday, it was my idea, and I was kicking myself for suggesting it up until about ten minutes after it started. It really reminded me why I actually do like the job; so many host families came in to look around the building and I really actually enjoyed talking to them; the majority of them are actually pretty good and reliable, I spent most of my time in the summer screaming about the small number that aren't.

Finished at 8pm, having been on my feet and talking constantly since before 4pm. Even when I was in the shop, was rarely if ever talking and 'selling' constantly for 4 straight hours, and completely not used to it.

So, got home last night, read some etuff online and collapsed. Woke up at 3pm today. Managed to actually drag myself into town (needed to, was running out of shower stuff and deodorant). Fleet Walk is always horrible Saturday afternoons, full of idiots ambling around and getting in the way; I'm firmly convinced fluid mechanics should be a compulsory subject for everyone, especially those that like shopping and/or driving.

After Body Shop (expensive, but still good, and with my allergic reaction to most other commercial shower things, pretty much essential, I do not like all over itching thank you very much), and then bought some healthy food type things in Tesco. And a bottle of whiskey ‐ given that I was sometimes getting cheap crap in the co-op I might as well buy a large bottle of reasonable stuff for occasional drinking instead.

Still utterly exhausted; if I go to GameSoc tomorrow in Exeter, what's on (apart from Fred's offer of FluxX)?

I'd actually completely forgotten it was your last weekend until I got home this evening; would've come round said hello otherwise.

Hope move goes well, and it's not like we'll not stay in touch, right?

Mark and Pink, and Petey and Seph are playing 40k, so, in an attempt to do something that doesn't involve work, I'll be going along to either spectate or play random games with people. Preferably people I know.

No RPG to speak of this weekend, so it'll probably be board games for most of the day. Can't remember off hand what Chris has in the way of games, but there should be something to keep us going for a couple of hours.

Oh and as for bath type stuff
Try lush... they use mainly natural products, and the few chemicals they use are preservatives that have been tested and used for ages and don't cause reactions :)

But walking into the shop is dangerous, as the smell is... oppressive.

[silentgreeneyes.livejournal.com]

Personally I don't mind the smell
But there's an online shop :0

And otherwise if you want something from there I go every few weeks to get more showergel/shampoo/stuff.

I'll maybe try it sometime I guess, don't think there's a branch in Torbay. Definately one in Reading and I think I saw one in Exeter somewhere.

[silentgreeneyes.livejournal.com]

Yeah there's one in Exeter :)

dfjkvbk!!

Um, ???

Or is that merely a random exclamation of silliness?

[silentgreeneyes.livejournal.com]

a random explanation of silliness.

I would think it's the online equivalent of that speechless-person-trying-to-speak-but-only-managing -splutters noise :)
