Can you hear that? What might you ask? It's the sound... of silence! These two weeks have been impossibly long. I nearly posted a rant last night, but the internet died as I was about to post, so consider yourselves lucky. ;)

Anyway, I'm frightfully busy trying to tidy two week's worth of mess, but the fact that there are NO CONSTANT INTERRUPTIONS makes it almost enjoyable.

See I am a very solitary creature. Or rather I can't function if I don't get a certain amount of peace and quiet. This might be because of being an only child, I don't know. *shrugs*

In other news the baby is learning to master crawling - she's currently doing a funny sort of forwards wriggle, but she's definitely getting places! :)

But I have to go - I'll be back later with my Slayer theories...

I'm the same, and I don't even have the only child thing as a reason.

No, I'm that way, too, and I'm the oldest of two. Sadly, these days, I seldom get any solitude.

Maybe it's a characteristic of all of us who like to be online?

Solitude is like the holy grail. As is permanent tidyness! ;)

I'm exactly the same, but I'm one of five. :)

Enjoy your peace and quiet!

I'm enjoying it very muc indeed! One baby is *so* easy to cope with on its own. :)

Ditto. And all this constant noise everywhere is getting on my nerves. People yapping on cellphones everywhere (and I mean everywhere), doctor's offices with blaring televisions, my dentist even has a television in the room they work on you - when will it end! .
When I get home these days I rarely turn on the television, I just enjoy the quiet.

Thankfully our neighbourhood is fairly peaceful. But I can actually cope well with noise, as long as it isn't directed at me! Two weeks of having children *constantly* chattering to me and asking me questions nearly drove me barmy! ::takes deep claming breath::

But yeah, quiet is gooooooooood! (I just got the babay to sleep. The next hour or so is ALL MINE!)

I have my moments when I just need the down time (only child here) and I have to hide from the kids.

[elisi]

Seems we're not alone. And hiding is good, until they find you!

[shapinglight]

I suspect so. We're probably all just a bit weird (no matter how normal we may seem on the outside).

I read your meta by the way and couldn't think of a single intelligent thing to say. I'll try again today.

You need to leave a trail of froot loops going somewhere else to throw them off the track.

[elisi]

Now *that's* a good idea... *g*

[elisi]

Well I'd rather be happy and weird than boring...

And don't worry about the other post - I've been drowning in comments! *g*

[shapinglight]

I saw you'd done very well. I'll go and have another look when I can and see what else people said.

[elisi]

There were some very interesting replies, although it always surprises me how some people take things very literally and seriously indeed, completely missing the central metaphors.

To sort-of quote Manny: Be the queen of your own calm kingdom

Hope you enjoy the peace, quiet and almost-crawling baby - she'll be crawlingrunning riot before you know it *g*

And are you sure you can't just hide the mess under a rug? No-one will notice ;)

[elisi]

Squee! Manny! *uses whacked-out Bernard icon*

And I'm enjoying everything muchly - except I *have* to tidy since it's Impish Girl's 5th birthday on Monday and the party is on Sunday.
Good weather: Garden party
Bad weather: OMG I need to have their bedroom tidy! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

So - I can relax properly on... next tuesday. :)

[shapinglight]

I still haven't had the chance to comment. Very sorry.

[elisi]

Honestly don't worry about it! Just saying that you read it is making me happy. :)

And (since you're 'here') look what st_saileri found on her old laptop! Very sharable if you feel like snagging.

[elisi]

That should be st_salieri! *headdesk* I can spell, honestly.

[shapinglight]

Very nice!
