Ah flist, you're fabulous

I know that I am very biased, but I just wanted to say that you lot are champion. That was SUCH a fun discussion in my last post, and so many interesting points were raised in support of several different stances. Why can't politics and diplomacy be conducted with that much civility and focus?

If you're still bubbling with QoM discussion you'd like to voice in different discussions, check out the thread at ddg_and_sundry , you can find it here. Or drop by gossymer 's journal and weigh in on her discussion on whether you read fic for the H/D (or other OTP) or for the fic first. Lots of cleverness!

Another slightly late happy birthday to Amy, but I wished you an early HB first! and, in today's important news,

Happy Birthday pingrid!!!

I have a little pressie that I will hand over in November, and was going to come up with a costume-porn centric drabble (NB that's porn regarding textiles, not people, I rock at the former and am rubbish at the latter, let me talk to you of twill weaves and thrown silk!), but I am still too flattened from Pilgrim Flu, so you will have to do with bright red text and my hopes that you are currently painting Oslo the same colour!

The birthday greeting in the e-mail was duly noted. :) I had warm and fuzzy feelings reading it, although I think I haven't replied to that e-mail yet? The past few days have been slightly confusing for me. ^^;;

But, seriously now, why is the flu not cured yet? I'm worried. :|

HAH! Yes, EARLY, for once ;-) And I hope they have been confusing because you have been having a great time and receiving more cakes!

Apparently it's influenza B which takes several weeks to get over and leaves you with coughing and fatigue for some time. At least I haven't developed bronchitis, unlike many Sydneysiders! Poor bastards. It's a shame you cant get cough syrup with alcohol anymore, though. That would take the edge off ;-)

Oh, great time, yes definitely. No more cakes, sadly, but I was occupied with some belated birthday greetings from my overseas friends! (Damn time zones...)

There used to be cough syrup with alcohol?! I didn't even know those two things could even be mixed! But I have no doubt that a little bit of alcohol in your life can do nothing but good for your health. When I was living in Italy, I easily get cured from flu symptoms by drinking wine.

I hope I don't have to wait until I get to Italy to be cured!

[tomatoe18.livejournal.com]

I sure hope not!!!

(By the way, I find that I'm jealous of the fact that you'll be going to Italy. Like, really jealous.)

Well, you could always pop over for a week ;-)

I think I'll be going back next year with J, as I do not have enough time or ready cash to do half the things I wanted to do this year.
