Too early.

[clo_again]

Too early, I'm not awake, don't give a stuff about the Shakespeare seminar and really, I'm happier not knowing my essay mark thanks all the same.

And today is Valentine's Day, which just inexplicably pisses me off because of the whole falseness and maybe a little because the two Cypriots in our flat the last two years have got bouquets of the most incredible roses I've ever seen, studded with tiny jewels, *hand-delivered* to the door. Especially when one of them -- or both of them, we're not entirely sure -- was cheating on the boyfriends who ordered them the roses.

Yellow roses mean infidelity you know. (Ssssh all of you yelling no, it means friendship. LJ Smith told me so. And in Victorian times, they meant jealousy and in 'German-speaking countries', they still mean infidelity. I'm thinking I should write that into fic.) So... Happy Valentine's Day. ;P

I think I've just rolled out of bed on the wrong side today or maybe lack of sleep's finally caught up with me. Or, possibly that I dreamed I was in Wimbledon and things kept going horribly wrong. Yeah, there is *something up* with my subconscious today, so ignore me. Maybe I just need to mainline some coffee.

I've never had a Valentine.

*eyes the last couple of peppermint chocolates*

Want one?

Finding You've Got Mail on DVD for $5 is better than any Valentine anyway.

I've had a couple - -from people I only wanted to be friends with and it all resulted in awkward apologies and general Badness.

... Yes. Yes I do. *munches*

Absolutely, because it's something you can keep on appreciating over and over. *nods*

Oh dear...

Exactly. You can never watch that movie too many times.

Get some coffee down you, maybe some chocolate and watch an episode of something you love ;)

Valentine's Day is just companies playing on people's insecurities: "OH NOES, he didn't get you flowers, he doesn't love youuuuuuu!"

LOL, so who made a mistake and gave Roger yellow roses, or did he give them to Mirka? :p

... Weirdly enough, that's pretty much what I did (though I haven't got to the chocolate yet).

It is. -_- Stupid commercialisation. It's just people following set stereotypes and tired rituals that have nothing to do with love at all. ...That wasn't intended to be bitter. Hm.

*grins* Roger to Mirka. The bunny's been growing all day and I don't know whether to work on it before everything else, since I'm mid-way through about four different fic/lets right now.

I rule ;)

You need to finish those things you're writing first :p Although if it's stuck in your head...

[clo.livejournal.com]

*grins* You do. (Though I'm afraid you really have developed psychic powers now. ;) The world -- or maybe just the minds of tennis players -- are not safe.)

I do, though Batter My Heart Mardy is filled with sad. I have far too many bunnies stuck in my head. They'll start eating each other soon if I don't watch out.

[lossi.livejournal.com]

Come on...you know you wanna know the gossip ;)

You need to get them out *nodnodnod* Especially any that involve Marat, those'll get very vicious *innocent*

[clo.livejournal.com]

It would be an awesomely useful skill to have. ^_^ Though keeping a straight face at Wimbledon would be hard.

I do, before it becomes Cruelty to Bunnies. To be honest, I don't think any involve Marat except the Halcyon!verse ones. *hides*

[lossi.livejournal.com]

That's very true :p

Awwwwwwwwwwwww *pout* No fair ;)

[kindoftrouble.livejournal.com]

COUGH

[kindoftrouble.livejournal.com]

... Now you've given me fic ideas. Or at least a ficlet idea.

[clo.livejournal.com]

*pokes hopefully* I've been in a bad mood all day and have a ton of work to do for tomorrow. Write ficlet for meeeeee.... (if it helps, I've started your Batter My Heart ficlet. :) )

[kindoftrouble.livejournal.com]

You get what you deserve. :D Though it's different from your idea. I am wriiiiiting. (YAY.)

[clo.livejournal.com]

I hope that's a good thing. ;) Don't care; all Holly!fic is good fic. YAY! :D

[kindoftrouble.livejournal.com]

It is a good thing. You will be recieving it soon at you-know-where. :D It is not. *blushes* YAY for Clofic tooooo.
