Irish bloke across the aisle is talking about how he's met Bono several times and DAMMIT PEOPLE THIS IS SO NOT THE TIME TO BE CALLING ME! *flail* Now I'm all sad that Irish Bloke is leaving today. I like his accent, and he's funny. (Now they're talking about JKR. I swear, everyone in this city has met the women except for me.) I need all the entertainment I can get, dammit!

I'm bored, and I somehow got roped into doing training for the new starts again, because I am apparently the local computer genius and I'm expected to be able to teach people how to work our logging programme. Er.

Dear Mr Geldhof: Please stop gazing at Bono like that or I'll be forced to slash you two and then Satan will appear in a puff of smoke and take me directly to my own condo in hell.

(Hm, Slash Aid? No.)

P.S.: Dear Elton John: WTF hat?

WHY IS THERE A BONO/CLINTON BUNNY ATTACHED TO MY LEG?

So with everything yesterday, I forgot to post about this, but my supervisor asked me Friday morning if I'd want to switch over to the professional departement. Hm, no more annoyingly picky people, no more having to deal with talking about diapers, and I'd be sitting away from the annoying coworkers. Gee, I don't know, do I want to? The drawback of course is that it means yet another round of training, the third one in five months, which started yesterday afternoon. Feh. Ah well, I'll survive.

I'll spare everyone the details about yeserday evening and today, except to note that I'm very very happy. :D

ETA: In case that's still too nonspecific for people, I spent the night at my girlfriend's place, and being introduced to the flatmates, about which I was very nervous. Was good times, yesh.

And now, I go eat dinner and watch the U2 DVD that mysteriously materialised in my bag after passing by HMV yesterday. Also, the DVD of A Year And A Half In The Life Of Metallica, which the postman spontaneously generated for me. *cough, innocent whistle*

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Countdown: 145 days

Oh, look, it's yet another round of "RPS is EEEEEEEEEEEEVIL!" I do enjoy this so. I say enjoy, I actually mean I tolerate it. I say tolerate, what I actually do is, I take the dullest pencil I can find, jam it into my brain through my ear, and wiggle it around to the tune of sk8terboi.

Okay, I'll stop the Mark Lamarr impression now, but really, people. You don't like RPS. We get the point! In fact, we got the point three fucking years ago, when RPS and RPF was still something that was hidden, written and shared in private e-mail only, like some shameful secret. You know what? Those days are over, and after three years, I think it's time people started dealing with that. Don't like RPF? Think it's immoral and wrong? Fine with me, just keep it out of my face unless you have an argument I haven't heard a few dozen times before already. No? Didn't think so.

In other news, I hereby propose Colin Powell be the only one allowed to speak for the USA in all matters concerning Iraq. At least when he's talking, I can believe he has some rational reason to want to attack Iraq. Not necessarily rational reasons I would agree with, but rational reasons nonetheless. This as opposed to Dubya -- every time I see him talk about the impending war, I just want to pat him on the head and tell him that "Yes, you're a very big boy. Now, why don't you run along and go play with your toys, and let the grown-ups handle this? There's a good monkey." Somehow, I don't think this is the sort of reaction I should be having to the commander of the most powerful military in the world. Right.

Oh, brilliant, I've French class today. I'm starting to remember why I disliked school. Meeeeh! Two hours of paying attention to a foreign language. Blah.

Spent most of Saturday cleaning, doing laundry, and dyeing my knickers and bras, plus a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. (Um. My black underwear had worn down to not-even-dark-grey, and I was tired of it. I'd also managed to spill hair bleach on one pair, leaving it stained. And the jeans were a very unbecoming washed-out-black. Now all my stuff is properly pitch black, the way it's meant to be.) Spent most of Sunday bumming around, watching TV and DVDs. Most noteably, U2's The Best of 1990-2000, with director's commentary, which includes gems such as "And there's Larry Mullen, having an expression for the first time in twenty years, heh." Heeee!

And speaking of TV, my suspicion agains Conny is rising. Although my niggling feeling about Stijn has not subsided, on the contrary. And call me a bitch, but woo! Nicole is gone! I didn't like her. Too whiny.

NaNoWriMo: Day 4
Word Count: 496

I will not panic, I will not panic, I will not panic ...

I will, however, kick the shit out of netscape if it doesn't stop crashing. Argh! And yes, Outlook, if you don't stop it with the infinite slowness of doom, I shall smite you, too!

I need coffee.

Trivia factlet of the day: The Lemon from U2's Zoo TV tour is stored in pieces in three different warehouses in Belgium.

"The all-purpose short sleeve white t-shirt (Represented here by a map of Belgium)" The NaNo people are on the special crack, yo.

I need a title for my NaNovel. Aaarrrrrgh.

Discovered this weekend that That Blasted Rod Stewart Song still makes me sniffly. I hate my brain.

Also, people on the NaNo page who are going "Argh! I only have x-thousand words"? Bite. Me.

Dear Self

What you should be thinking about:

  • Your NaNovel

What you shouldn't be thinking about:

  • Marcus/Lee war!drabbles;
  • Marcus/Lee anything;
  • Marcus/Draco BLC smut;
  • Marcus/Draco cuteness;
  • young!Marcus&baby!Draco adorableness of Dooooom;
  • Harry/Draco;
  • Harry/Oliver;
  • Harry/Marcus (WTF?);
  • Draco/Oliver (ditto);
  • Strange Love (Why now, for fuck's sake?);
  • Assorted randomness.

No love,
You

Meh.

On the good side: got more feedback for Evitar, which is making me feel a lot better. It's nice to realise that I actually am improving as a writer.

Last year, at the 2nd Elevation concert in Antwerp, you played a beautiful new ballad to the bewilderment of the 16,5000 fans. We don't know if the song has a title yet, but it could be called 'I Love You'. Since then, you haven't played it again. Now we wonder if it might ever make an appearance on a U2 CD, or was it a one-off? (Either way, thanks for the wonderful surprise last August.) Cheers.

Bono: That was a gig near to Edge's bday and I improvised a song with the words "Gonna make it up as we go along/I love you, love you and our love is true - it's a birthday song for Edge."

Okay, so, U2 Slash Archive. Who can host it, and has anyone got any suggestions/requests re: design?

Dear Mr Beckham

Please cease and desist the looking like Larry Mullen. You're starting to freak me out.

Much love,

(Seriously, has anyone ever seen Becks and Larry in one place together,)

One year ago today, I went to NYC to see U2, see Jess and Molly, and fall in love with the city.

I cn't believe it's been a whole year.

Okay, so here's where we stand on the U2 slash archive. [livejournal.com profile] izzybeth has a domain name, loveisblindness.net, which I personally think would be great for the archive, but she doesn't have any space. [livejournal.com profile] arami can donate webspace, and Mol, I'm assuming that offer for help incuded some webspace? (I don't think your-site allows you to have a domain name pointing to a subfolder on your space, though. :/) I can do the design of the archive, no problem, and Izzy's offered to maintain the archive once it's up.

So, how's this for a plan? Depending on whether we can point the domain name towards a subfolder on acherontia.net or passionblood.net, and who has the most space left, we can host the archive at either, and have the domain name point there. I'll design the archive and make sure it's easy to maintain (Iz, do you have Frontpage or anything?), and Iz can be the archivist.

Yes? No?

Question

Is there a U2 slash archive? I remember there being talk of one, but I don't know what happened in the end.

Edit: Also, if there isn't one, would anyone be willing to make/maintain one?

Eee! Half of U2! On my TV!

Dude, Larry, stop staring at Bono. You're gonna drill holes in him.

Heh. I said "drill".

Musiverse, again.

Just got back from lunch. Wrote about a hundred words of After. (Third story of Strange Love, last part of Early. See also here.) Wooo! Second person isn't easy to write, yo. But hey, I'm writing my favourite boys, so I'm happy. :)
