Don't mind me. I'm just squeeing quietly over here in a corner.
I'm not sure what sort of impression you have of my dear other half. I guess what usually comes across is that he doesn't like fandom (this is actually a sort of backhanded compliment. He thinks I'm talented and shouldn't waste my time on something that's not original). Anyway, apart from that he's a very lovely person (as LM can now verify) and amongst his many talents is his exceedingly good taste when it comes to clothes. I don't mean that he's immaculately dressed, but that he loves buying me stuff (when we can afford it) and that it's always gorgeous. So when a parcel arrived yesterday I was very pleasantly surprised! Catalogues are not usually a particular nice way of shopping, but for a good few years now we've been getting La Redoute, a catalogue full of French fashion. It's got cheap stuff as well as designer wear and I usually find many, many pieces that I really wish I could afford, as well as lovely cheaper stuff that I *can* afford - I think most of my summer wardrobe has come from there.
Anyway (are you asleep yet?) yesterday I got a parcel from them. Darcy got quite excited and proceeded to dress me up (making me close my eyes). When I was finally allowed to open them, I was wearing this. Apparently it was on sale and we had some credit built up, so he wanted to spoil me. ::passes out from teh pretty::
So that's why I'm feeling all bouncy at the moment (and the mood-icon is one of my favourites!). Of course it's not what you'd call practical (a common occurrence with Darcy's presents), but squee! So gorgeous! :)
Btw, I've got two 'Introduce a friend' voucher thingys if anyone's interested. You'll get £25 off your first order (of £50 or more - there always has to be conditions on these things of course).

Darcy sounds like a lovely bloke.

And Darcy is most certainly wonderful in almost every way. And at least I'm not into slash - I wonder what he'd have to say if I was! ;)

As for not liking the fandom , I suppose a lot of husbands ( or boyfriends) don't see the importance or the depth of our passion in the Buffyverse , but it doesn't matter after all. As long as they understand the time we need to spend in front of the computer! :)
The weather is gorgeously sunny here , too!

Darcy mostly wishes that I'd write a novel I think. Or something not-fannish. And he is jealous that I seem to have so much time for writing - he would love to stay at home instead of me. Of course then he'd also have to do all the housework and somehow I can't see him taking to that very well!
And yay for sunny weather - I have to go put up the little pool for the children now.

I want one.
Pouty.

As for Hubbies and the whole not-understanding-fandom's-attraction-in-general? Right there with you, babe - except, I don't write. Hubby knows I read the fanfic and that I hang out online (*cough*a bit*cough*), but knows not of the LJ. It is mine!mine!mine! and I won't share! [/childish rant]

Goodness, I can rant too, can't I? Anyway - thanks for commenting. :)

The dress is beautiful and with you in it, hubba hubba! :) Pity it didn't arrive on Saturday ::pouts::
no subject
Heeee! I knew it'd amuse you.
with you in it, hubba hubba! :)
::blushes and hides::
And it would have been brilliant if it'd arrived on Saturday - but as it is, it *did* cheer me up...
I hope the studying was successful!

I still can't believe how lucky I've been to meet all the lovely people here on LJ - and it's all thanks to you, you know! :) If you ever have the time (and the money of course, trains being *expensive*) you must come and visit too!
And honestly don't worry about replying to old posts... I'm sure there are many better ways to spend your time! Although it's good to hear that things are going to calm down soon! ::sends hugs and smooches::

And hee, couldn't help thinking of the Angel line when Angel bribes his way back into Cordelia's good graces with clothes.
CORDELIA: (to Angel) Oh, my god. These are gorgeous! You have the most amazing taste! You have, like - a gay man's taste, and that's saying something. I love them *so* much!
