Well, it looks like spintrian has finally moved in. Yay! Cue fun and games...

spintrian: Ow, I have a migraine. I'm going to lie down in a dark room.
Me: Shout if you need anything.

Things that have broken in the house in the last few weeks:

3 taps (kitchen and bathroom)
One sink unit (kitchen pipes; flooding)
the lawnmower (when I was halfway through doing the back garden, natch)
upstairs toilet cistern
vacuum cleaner (more of an ongoing slow death, drama queen)
lousy tv reception
my bank account
my get up and go (gone; no Dear John letter)

Some of these have now been fixed.

Number of times I have woken up after nightmares involving my family in the past week: Four
Main themes of dreams last night: Werewolves; a hippy commune/festival; bad credit card bills

Candidates for new housemate: Five
Acceptable candidates for new housemate: Zero

Heading off to town the wretched, refuse-strewn, idiot-thronged high street now to put up more adverts. Battle armour may be required.

Finding it difficult to get excited about my impending birthday and our party at the moment.

It's a cry for help. Your house evidently needs care and attention and will continue self-harming until that help is forthcoming.

Is there a helpline?

"REBUILD- for houses that need a helping hand"

Hey, you made that up ;)

At least you didn't make fun of me for my brain spasms. You didn't see me standing statue-like for five minutes trying to work out how to get cooked rice out of dried rice, and drawing the line at asking you to do it for me.

[buddleia.livejournal.com]

Cooking rice is easy. I get it the same way I get most food cooked - by threatening to cook myself until other people do it in fear of what I might produce.

[woe2you.livejournal.com]

Sorry, was that threatening to cook it yourself, or threatening to cook yourself?

[buddleia.livejournal.com]

Actually, I think both work. *looks down consideringly*

[woe2you.livejournal.com]

Heh. You realise those Jedi culinary tricks only work on the weak-minded (ie, squeamish/overly sentimental)? The most you'd get out of me would be "Oh? I'll have mine medium rare."

[buddleia.livejournal.com]

Well, yes. Fortunately, my flatmate/landlady is not only squeamish but has seen me naked. You should see her stir fry.

[woe2you.livejournal.com]

Y'know, it's not particularly clear if you meant that as inducement or intimidation...

[buddleia.livejournal.com]

It's really not, is it?

[woe2you.livejournal.com]

Well, y'know. I might have to change my mind on the medium rare.

[buddleia.livejournal.com]

I get that a lot.

[woe2you.livejournal.com]

Dammit, hands off my lines.

>>Hey, you made that up ;)

Yes, but it was *funny*...
