Taking their cue from The Velvet underground*

[bending_sickle]

Hey y'all. I'm sorta all settled into my new place, even though half a suitcase is still over at Elisa's and I'm a closet and drawer short, so my clothes are loaded onto the two rickety bookshelves left behind by the previous tennant. Still, things are going well, and even though I've yet to hang with the folks here, I've been spending quite some time with Elisa and Laura (who live just 2 minutes down the street - it's awesome!). There's been generally hanging out, market-wandering and even a full-out luau.

The luau was Elisa's idea who, I might've mentioned, did her BSc. at the Univ. of freakin' Hawai'i. (The envy, it is here.) So now I've been laied :D The flower-kind of lai. Although, there was this damn fine guy at the luau party, both cute and sweet. However, also 34. Which should bother me, but I was just happy to oggle. Oh, and the cops came by - making it a certifiable good party - and gave Laura a yellow card (when they really ought to just have given her a warning). Yellow card means that you can't have a loud party for the next 6 months, or they'll come 'round your house and stamp on all your toys confiscate your sound system.

Reason why I've not been documenting any of this is that the router in the house is shot. I'm sitting at the entrance with my laptop directly hooked to the cable (internet service is fine, it's just the redistribution that doesn't work), on kinda-hard carpet and with a "no, honest, I'm totally dead, not faking it at all" spider.

I kinda just had to pop by and do an internet round because I didn't save Thursday's Digger (ursulav's comic) and it's going to change tomorrow. And since I'm here, I figured I'd wave hello. Depending on my stamina, I might wander though the flist. (Scary thought - it must be huuuge since last Thursday).

Oh, and, kinda sorta waiting on Lost and Doctor Who. Oh, the squee :D

Note: Expect further absences from me due to wonky internet and Mamaji Ma and Dad popping by Thursday. Friday we'll be driving to Belgium. Say bonjour to goffres and chocolat!

ETA 11:07 Am now spoiled for TV choice, did a quick wander to some dear flisters, and haveth a meme, c/o 45eugenia. Because you've haven't surfed the 'net till you've memed. Or something.

1. Describe where you grew up. The tropics, mainly, with a smattering of omgpolar Canada. Want something more specific? See linkylink on my profile.

2. Do you wear any jewelery? Earings, which I hardly ever change, a toe right (left foot), anklet (right foot), and my darling Turkish-or-Greek eye pendant on a necklace (which has been on me for years and years).

3. What do you have too much of? Clothes! Suitcases! CDs!

4. Who is a fool? Those undeserving of pity ;)

5. What's your nickname? Adri(s), depending on the language. I've had a couple other nicknames, friend-specific, but no all-encompasing nickname. Suckety :(

why Hello thar! :D *waves*

The luau party sounds like it was a blast, and an oggle-worthy guy is always a pleasure no matter the age ;)

The luau was awesome! Lais and those grass skirts and rainbow flamingo streamers and boys! But the best bit? I could stay until the wee hours and then just walk home. Ah, joy.

I know! I tried jotting them down, but figured I'd stick to just saying there's "friend-specific nicknames". Because no one else calls me Adrianopolis, and that is a sad thing.

♥!
