Nov. 4th, 2005 12:40 amRealised 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? :)

Date: 2005-11-04 12:54 am (UTC)Locked post is fine. Probably easier especially if you're having problems with the file now not letting you spell check.

Date: 2005-11-04 01:02 am (UTC)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.

Date: 2005-11-04 01:10 am (UTC)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...

Date: 2005-11-04 01:12 am (UTC)*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

Date: 2005-11-04 01:54 am (UTC)Awww. You'd have to come over here and we'd travel round Europe, drooling over the pretty men on horses. ^__^
no subject
Date: 2005-11-04 01:57 am (UTC)*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.

Date: 2005-11-04 04:29 am (UTC)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.
