Cryptic post is cryptic!

[blamebrampton]

Not long ago, but probably while I was still in Italy, someone who I know I quite like but think I know from the internet rather than the physical world, emailed me suggesting I join a particular comm to work on a particular project, which had something to do with HP and may have involved being able to spell.

Possibly.

It may also have been an invitation to a weaving workshop or a weekend's work observing waterfowl.

Anyway, the salient point is: now that some semblance of sanity has returned, I have been hunting high and low for said email, and am buggered if I can find it. So if you are currently saying 'THAT'S why the bitch never replied to me!', why yes! it is! And could you please send it again because I seem to recall I thought whatever it was was a very good idea.


SORTED! Thanks Mel!

Next mystery: why does LJ keep things from me? It's like one of my exes ...

Have you checked your community invites page? ;)

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

YOU'RE A GENIUS!

And, as it turned out, there were two ... WTF? I haven't been THAT sick!

[meredyth-13.livejournal.com]

Lagavulin!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I've not been drinking! Yet ...

[meredyth-13.livejournal.com]

I may have ... >.>

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Have one for me!

[cinnatart.livejournal.com]

bad lj like that.

*gives you cookies*

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Om nom nom nom! Oops! My Monster kitten got there first! But thank you!

[pingrid.livejournal.com]

If by LJ keeping things from you you mean not getting notifications of community invites, that's because apparently that's not default behaviour. Stupid, stupid rat creatures! You have to set notifications for invites explicitly.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Oh Sensei Pin! You are WISE!

[pingrid.livejournal.com]

Yes, in that superior way of someone who has only just learned something themselves! :)

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

As I often say to my students: I don't need to know everything, just more than you. And you DO!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Buggered if I can find where to do that, though ...

[pingrid.livejournal.com]

*rustles around in bag*
*pulls out the Manage Subscriptions page

There's a checkbox for it under "Friends and Communities".

*takes a bow*

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

SORTED! Va bene, grazie mille!

Speaking of cryptic posts, I've often been tempted to write "I know what you did, and I don't appreciate it" and see how many respond. ;)

BTW, that's an actual quote from my aunt, referring to my boyfriend who'd just committed the unspeakable crime of going outside to smoke a cigarette.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Thank g_d she didn't notice him knocking over the garden gnomes!

And can you imagine? Everyone seems a little edgy at the moment, you'd probably be met with waves of confessionals and tears and the lovely folk at fandomwank would be thrilled!

[norton-gale.livejournal.com]

Yes indeed!

It certainly would be interesting from a sociological perspective, though it would result in a flood of defriending!
LJ drama is so annoying. You just have to laugh at it sometimes. That being said, I try to stay far away from wank wars if I can help it.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Oh goodness yes! If only we could prescribe happy pills for everyone when needed; that or chocolate!

[norton-gale.livejournal.com]

I'm in good shape, as I have one and a half very large Cadbury bars in my refrigerator!

By the way, I loved the Australian Dairy Milk. It seemed a little milkier and sweeter than the British version.

Feeling better, I take it?

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I can BREATHE AGAIN! And yes, certainly milkier, it reminds me a little of the Dairy Milk of my youth, as today's version is a pale imitation thereof. The Kiwi version is even nicer, I'll send you some when I am there in Feb!

[norton-gale.livejournal.com]

Yay! Looking forward to testing the Cadbury's of the world. Unfortunately the US version would probably come in dead last.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid it does :-(

[norton-gale.livejournal.com]

Unless there happens to be a Russian version...

[wenchilada.livejournal.com]

Have you had the Chinese version?

[norton-gale.livejournal.com]

There's a Chinese version? What's it like?

[wenchilada.livejournal.com]

Only to be used in a state of emergency.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

REALLY? Now I am afraid! Also, YOU! Where are you? How can I be in the same place as you at the same time? I have gifts! Hugs! Gossip! Photos! I can come to you, we have transport and there are trains. Big hugs!

[wenchilada.livejournal.com]

Why, hello!
Yes, really! I haven't figured out if it is imported from somewhere else, but it's nowhere near as good as ours.

Persmonster & I are joining Mr C in Sydney on Friday. We'll be there for a couple of weeks. Weekends are packed, but during the day, we are ladies of leisure (and staying at Darling Harbour). Let's catch up!

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I'll have at the very least one day when I can snaffle you during that period! Hurrah!

[wenchilada.livejournal.com]

Sweet!

[bryoneybrynn.livejournal.com]

You are fun. *hugs you* I like it when you're around.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I make EVERYONE else look so organised by comparison ;-)

[sassy-cissa.livejournal.com]

May I just say that this was the best cryptic post I have ever read.

It gave me a giggle this morning!

Glad you're all sorted - and yeah....cool.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

My friends despair for me. On the upside, no one will ever notice if I actually DO develop Alzheimer's!

[annes-stuff.livejournal.com]

Your memory isn't actually that bad, I know myself if I don't deal with things right away I will often forget about them completely.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

But I used to not do this! Bloody taxi! It makes me look mad when I have the things I do remember and they are all perfect. People say 'Right, so that's two pages of text in your head, but you forgot my birthday. I see.'

Thank god for lj birthday notifications, I say!

[annes-stuff.livejournal.com]

So you are worried about forgetting birthday's. I wouldn't worry I have forgotten to call every single member of my family this year for their birthday (and also friends), I think I sent you a birthday message but I got the date wrong!

[brinian.livejournal.com]

It's like one of my exes ...

You just answered your own question. *cackles*

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

NOW I am afraid ... ;-)

[uminohikari.livejournal.com]

LJ doesn't like cookies :( I tried to bribe it with them..

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

It is smelly! At least it still likes bunnies (as do all right thinking people!)

[rickey-a.livejournal.com]

LOL

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I know ... I know ... Oh well, sorted now!

[snottygrrl.livejournal.com]

i have been horrendously lame on lj as of late because rl is taking more time with the hols season, so haven't done more than skim.

which leads us to the other part of this comment (the first was a sort of apology in case you couldn't tell), i need your postal address to mail you festive card-like thinger. can you email it to me? [*smooches*]

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I can! I will! And I feel your pain! I'm still falling asleep all the time, too. I think my body is taking the month off even if the rest of me isn't ;-)

[snottygrrl.livejournal.com]

here, look! i've made it easy, you can go here and place a screened comment with your addy. easy peasy!
