Realised I've been home for hours and not mentioned that British Rail didn't eat me. It tried; some bastards who have clearly never had to deal with a delayed train vandalised some rails somewhere down London-wards and so, of course. Every. Single. Train. going that way was delayed or cancelled. I got to the station to find the train I'd been planning to catch was cancelled but caught one to the next stop on the advice of the ticket guy and spent a few panicked minutes trying to work out the station, which is *awful*. Finally got a train and it took the guard on the platform telling me, the two ladies sitting across from me telling me *twice* and going through two stations for me to believe that I was actually on the right train and I wasn't going back to Lancaster. I was *convinced* I was going the wrong way, which just proves my sense of direction is truly awful. So that sort of drove me crazy and I wasn't happy until I was sitting in the car on the way home and could believe that I'd actually made it. And I *like* travelling by train. Madness.

Part of me still thinks I'm on a train heading back to Lancaster I think, because it hasn't quite sunk in that I'm home yet. Hhhmmm. But Creative Writing is done, my reading is being put off until whenever and I'm ever-closing on the end of the Halloween fic, which I need to beg for someone with a working spell check's help since apparently the problem from my laptop has transferred along with the file when I downloaded it from my email, even though spell check is working fine on other Word files. Even when I copy and paste, the problem just stalks this fic. I have no idea what is going on.

But yes. Spell check anyone, in about an hour's time? Please? :)

When was this posted? I'll run a spell check for you. I'll even try not to catch the English spelled words. ;-)

I hate the enter key.

*snuggles* Glad you're all safe and sound. Well, safe at least. The sound part... eh. ;-)

Good lord I swear you're psychic. I refreshed the page thinking "Ah, no one will have had time to comment yet" and... wow. :) Literally *just* posted.

*snuggles back* I'm glad too. And sound, well... you can't have everything. ;-)

And oops, pay attention clo. *eye roll* Yay, spell check! Should be finished within the hour -- I hope, heh -- so would you rather me it to you or put it in a locked post?

Would I rather you what it to me?? *giggles*

Locked post is fine. Probably easier especially if you're having problems with the file now not letting you spell check.

What, post before I've finished? *grins* At least then I have an excuse othr than my own absent-mindness. ;-)

Oh good point; if the damn thing won't spellcheck for me, then it probably won't for you either. *sigh* Dumb technology. Locked post it is; will comment when it's up. Just got the last little scene to write.

in your post you asked if I'd rather you it to me. You forgot a word, silly rabbit. *pets you*

*grins* Technology is the bane of all existence, of course without out, I wouldn't be obsessed with pretty tennis players.

*sighs* I give up. I had to read two paragraphs of my creative writing story out in the seminar today and I'd missed about five words out of sentences. I think sleep deprivation is catching up with me. -_- *purrs*

Neither would I; I wouldn't even know they existed. Actually they probably wouldn't without technology since they need it to fly the planes to tournaments and to make their racquets...

*pets you more* Sleep, after you've finished fic!

*giggles* Good point. Pro sports wouldn't exist 'cause no one would be able to watch on TV. And teams would not be able to travel... except by horse which would take a really long time. ;-D

*purrs* Oh yeah, planning on that. Mmmmmm, sleep. Oneof these days I'll get more than six hours of it at a time. *grins*

*giggles* I guess they still had things like jousting and stuff before technology. We could be the mad jousting groupies who follow the knights in shining armour around. ;-)

*pets more* Well, stop filling your plate with so much and maybe you'd sleep! :-P

*giggles* 'Cept I don't think there was jousting here.....

*purrs more* But there's always so much to do. 'course, it'd help if I was more organised... ;)

Awww. You'd have to come over here and we'd travel round Europe, drooling over the pretty men on horses. ^__^

*pets even more* Organization is the key! It's how I plan to get my NaNoWriMo fic written. :-)

*giggles* But wow, that'd take a long time 'cause there's the whole horse ride across the US, which would take... weeks. And the boat trip... which would also take weeks. I'd be wiped out.

:D

*snuggles back some more* I'm blaming most of these on my computer keyboard. ;-) It's so hard to type on after a laptop one.

*giggles* Yeah, sure, blame the computer. It's all the computer's fault. *nods*

I'm sure you do, but you're still cracking me up. :-P

*giggles* At least I'm giving you something to be amused by. ;-)

Fic is posted for you by the way. :D I'll post it up on [livejournal.com profile] clofic in a minute and fix whatever spelling stuff you find. I'm too sleepy to edit any better tonight. :)

No problem. I'm not finding any spelling mistakes, other than the English to American translations ;-)

I'm sure a billion people have offered, but I can do it.

When my dad and I were in Italy, we needed to take a train back to Milan. Neither of us speaks Italian, we were in a rural town where almost no one spoke anglais, and it was 5:30 in the morning when we were trying to take the first train to Milan from Cremona. It was crazy and scary and I was convinced that we were going to end up in Moscow. But somehow we ended up at the airport in Milan, even though I really wanted to go to la Russe.

I like trains.
