I KNOW. I would totally love to go to Edinburgh right now and I don't even know why! I just have this urge to flee! AND I WILL DO. AND YOU SHOULD DO TOO.

[glitterfairy25.livejournal.com]

I &hearts Edinburgh. Can we go? Now?

Will you tell me about your flee?

[purpleface.livejournal.com]

Hell yes!

I will totally let you know and it will probably be in photo form :D

[glitterfairy25.livejournal.com]

I was so close to saying "Alright, this weekend. I'm there." but my fear of meeting people and my exams and shizzle :(

how are you going to do this fleeing? train? flight? magic hat?


DO IT.

[glitterfairy25.livejournal.com]

Did you ever do this fleeing?

Also, on that day we meet, wanna go to Edinburgh? I think it could actually be the Greatest Day Ever.

[sjazzmreow.livejournal.com]

DOOOO EEEET.

You live in England, man. You have so many amazing places you can go so easilly that my waterbound colonial arse is aching with jealousy. You have all of the UK and Europe right there. Go! Explore! And send me a postcard! :P

And, hey, if you wanted to travel further abroad, you've always got a bed here in Sydney. :)

1. England does have a lot to see, I guess. I fancy a road trip, but I'll see what things there are to do. I guess I had overlooked how there's a lot within reach in my little country. Thanks for making me thing :)

2. Postcard sending is a serious thing if you want it :)

3. OMG. Are you serious? I get nervous about meeting LJ peeps in RL but if that's serious, OMG &hearts .

Thank you *hugs*

1. England has *so much* to see - I'd love to go there (well, I'd love to go anywhere, but England's fairly high on the list). And then, onwards to everywhere else!

2. Ha, seriously? That'd be wonderful!

3. I'm totally serious! I'd love to have you. :) I mean, my flat is insanely small so I can offer little by way of privacy, but! I live in a very trendy suburb right near the city, and can act as tourguide of both the city itself, and all the Australin food that MUST be tried to adequately understand our culture. Also, DVDs and internets!

You're welcome. ♥

[glitterfairy25.livejournal.com]

I do appreciate the country I live in. Not been to see everything yet, but I like to think I'm pretty travelled. At least more so than my housemates, who've never even really been out of London *sigh*

Well, yeah, let me know. It could be some sort of project or something. I'm off on holiday in June, give me your address and I'll send you one ;)

OMG that made my week XD OMG OMG OMG :D I can't be doing it this year, I'm afraid, but if the offer's still going in July/August next year... OMG you have no idea how much I'd love to do that.

*eeeep*

[sjazzmreow.livejournal.com]

Haha, that's the best reaction ever! XD How could I say no to that? I'm sure the offer'll still be good next year, and July is a free month over here too, so I'm sure something could be arranged. :)

[glitterfairy25.livejournal.com]

I'm so excited by this idea!! And when I have a meeting on May 15th about what I'm gonna do after I finish university, so that really could be a plan :) I just really love it. *eeep*

[sjazzmreow.livejournal.com]

I'm excited about it too! It'd be so much fun! Is there anything in particular you'd like to do here? It'd be winter, mind, so swimming at Bondi's probably out, but just about everything else is still doable.

[glitterfairy25.livejournal.com]

Oh man! :D I don't know... anything! Everything XD When you say winter though... I mean, have you seen British winters? *shivers just thinking about them*

Woah! Project: Good Tiemz is going! :D

[sjazzmreow.livejournal.com]

Heh, that did occur to me. Really, unless it's raining the humidity here makes it so that the cold never lasts long if you're moving around, so coming from English winters you'll probably be cruising. XP

Hmm, 'everything', eh? *thinks* That would be the touristy stuff - Darling Harbour, China Town, QVB, the Zoo, Circular Quay (including Opera House, gardens, etc), oh, and the Rocks. Everyone loves the Rocks (don't worry - it's a place, both historical and trendy and just plain awesome, not actual rocks). Oh, and things like the nearby markets... If you were going to be here a while, I'd say a trip to the Blue Mountains would be good too. They're gorgeous and there's plenty to see and do, plus it's a good palce for a bit of Aboriginal cultural stuff, and the walks are amazing. And... hmm, country/outbackish things could be arranged very easily, too...

Oh yes, I am loving this idea! :D

[sjazzmreow.livejournal.com]

In other news: long post is long and I am now considering a career in the tourism industry. XP

[glitterfairy25.livejournal.com]

I just realised I never actually replied to this comment, or the other one further down. What an ass!

Anyway, I enjoyed everything you said the first time you said it, and I've enjoyed it even more the second time I read it, and I hope you're still up for this because I'm really looking forward to this :D

[sjazzmreow.livejournal.com]

NAAAW.

I'm still keen if you are :D

[glitterfairy25.livejournal.com]

The short answer: YES.

The long answer: YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYEYSYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES

[glitterfairy25.livejournal.com]

Yeah, also, you should give me your address so I can send you things :)

My email address is here. (mailto:glitterfairy252000a@yahoo.co.uk)

[sjazzmreow.livejournal.com]

Aw, I like your address and username! Everyone should always believe in fairies. *nods*

Although, I must admit that in my head I've sort of come to refer to you as Glitz25, which is probably a bit hipper, but that's more due to the Aussie tendancy to nickname everything we come into contact with.

Oh, and email sent!

[glitterfairy25.livejournal.com]

Hearing your nickname for me made my day. SRSLY &hearts

*considers changing username*

Well, I set up the email in 2000, hence that being in there, when I was 12. It figures.

What's your username from/mean?

[sjazzmreow.livejournal.com]

:D Henceforth I officially dub thee 'Glitz'!
And firmly quell the urge to turn that into "the Glitzernator" or "G-Glizzle". Because that's just silly.

Heh, I love the kind of usernames people pick when they're young. That's seriously cute. ♥

Mine's actually a bit boring, I think. My initials are SJS, which when said as a word (ess+jay+ess) sort of sounds like "sjazz". I thought that was kind of cool, and, since I'm otherwise dreadful at thinking up names that are both cool and suit me, and since I love the artform known as jazz, so went with it. It was supposed to just be Sjazz, but some other mutha registered it before me, so I chucked "mreow" on the end because it's a weird little noise I used to make a lot for lols and because everyone needs something random to say sometimes (the lyrics to any song can be substituted with "mreeeeeoooooooow", and the results are always good).

But I AM Sjazz on dreamwidth (which I really must get around to doing something with...), so I showed that dirty, scabby, mysterious LJ name stealer! HaHA!

[glitterfairy25.livejournal.com]

(the lyrics to any song can be substituted with "mreeeeeoooooooow", and the results are always good).

aaaaannnnd I still haven't done this :P I'll get on it, right away.

Y'see, I'm upsticks on DW. I'm rather proud of that... *smug*

[sjazzmreow.livejournal.com]

No, seriously, try it. Especially with Burt Bacharach songs.

Like, the pointless trumpet solo at the end of "Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head", or, well, the trumpets in any BB song ever because the man likes his trumpets, by crikey; or all of "There's Always Something There to Remind Me"; or the "aaaaahh aah ah ah aaaaah, close to you" part of "Close to You". I've almost made mt mum drive off the road laughing by caterwauling through "Close to You".

Aw, I like that name! Do you use your DW much? I should probably add you in case I ever get around to using it properly. :\

[glitterfairy25.livejournal.com]

Burt Bacharach, eh? Every single comment I've found in my email inbox from you has made me lol, this one included, "because the man likes his trumpets" XD

I love Close To You, if it's the one I'm thinking of... do you mean that one with "Why do birds suddenly appear? Every time you are near? Just like me, they long to be Close To You." That one?

CATerwauling, LOL. Hahaha.

I like that name too, only wish I could have come up with it when I first found LJ, because I'm finding this one a bit embarrassing now. Maybe I'll buy myself a rename token when I get my new loan or something. And as for DW, I hardly use it at all, but I'm sitting there in case anything happens. Feel free to add me! Do you use yours? sjazz, isn't it?

I've said it before, and I'm saying it again: you're always welcome to come to Malmö if you want to! :)
*hugs*

[glitterfairy25.livejournal.com]

I fully intend to take up that offer :D

And thank you for your text. Made me the happiest girl alive last night, and I didn't sleep for another half an hour from the squee. Still thinking of my reply :P

I read your post yesterday. Are you alright?


*hugs*

[http://users.livejournal.com/uptight_/]

So you should! :D Anytime, m'dear! (Except maybe when I'll be away, hee.)

You're very welcome, I was just about to ask if you received it. I just had a sudden urge yesterday to send you that text. :P Hope you weren't too disappointed when you didn't find anything in your back pocket... Happy to hear about your reaction, though! :)

I'm going much better today. I have some "tools" to help me handle it all now, and it helped to talk about it. Thank you for your comment, it means a lot to know that someone cares. :)

[glitterfairy25.livejournal.com]

I will, definitely :) Not sure when, but yeah, LOVE TO :D

I was just settling down to sleep at about half eleven, remembered my phone was on, went to turn it off, saw I had a text. Opened it and was like "erm, I don't have a back pocket." Then I saw it was from you and it clicked and I was soooo close to making squeaking noises... you have no idea. Gutted I didn't have the same thing in my back pocket though ;P

"tools" are always useful, and yeah, course I care! I don't want you all scared and worried and panicky *hugs* I don't know if it'd be helpful, but I'm here to chat with if ever you need it :)
