Hello?

[elisi]

Stopping by briefly, since the reason I've been even more absent than usual is that our internet died for more than 24 hours! Woe. But being in lurker mode anyway is a good thing, since I was annoyed but not crushed. *g* Catch-up is awkward, but I think I've just about read all that I missed. Many hugs to all those of you living with misery - there seems to be a lot of you at the moment!

At least we can count on Joss to keep us amused. I'm sure you've all seen his thoughts on slash by now, but if you're wanting an icon go to this post. Many, many goodies! ::points to new icon by earth_vexer::

Being internet-less was good for writing purposes at least. I even wrote my drabble for buffy_love. You can find it here if you're curious: Doppelgangland.


Since I'm here, but don't have time to cheer you all individually, I thought I'd relate a few tales of Darcy's parenting:

According to Darcy there is an Evil Toothfairy. She collects teeth just like the good one, but instead of leaving money, she takes the tooth and puts it in her mouth. Her mouth is HUUUGE and has millions of teeth in it, making her a hideous sight. And if a child wakes up when she collects their tooth, she bites their head off! (Little Miss M lost a front tooth just the other day btw, and the other one has almost gone...)

A few days ago he was playing with the baby and I suggested singing 'Old MacDonald' to her (using the lovely hand puppet the_royal_anna sent). He thought this was a good idea, and so began:
"Old MacDonald had an industrial agricultural concern, E I E I O..."
I don't remember it all, but there was a verse about him having problems with French farmers, and one where he couldn't survive on government subsidies. In the end he set up a small organic health food business.

Sometimes I love him too much for words! :)

Heee! I love that icon! :)

Perhaps you could come up with something similar for Father Christmas or the Easter Bunny *g*

::giggles:: Very wise. Profits will go through the roof :)
And it's nice to see you back ::hugs::

[elisi]

Did you see the others? I had *such* a hard time choosing!

Hmmm, according to Anya Father Christmas is very nasty... oh and have you seen that episode of Futurama with the RoboSanta? Just fabulous. :)

And it's nice to be back - incredible how cut off one feels. I'll reply to your e-mail at some point - right now I'm trying to catch up on housework.

He didn't have a childhood trauma did he?

[elisi]

Nope. Just a weird worldview and an odd sense of humour! :)

Heeee! Your family is adorable. (Mine is being cranky and difficult right now--can I borrow yours?)

[elisi]

Of course you can borrow mine. Just remember that the two eldest are 4 and 7 and never ever stop talking!!!

Reminded me of the origins of the tooth fairy in Discworld, where all the teeth were collected to save them being used as bad magic against the child. I think he should go comercial with his version of Old MacDonald - Nizlopi are doing OK!

[elisi]

I really should read Discworld some day... um, give me 10 years! *g*

Oh, boy, your husband sounds like a total doll!
I can't tell you how pleasing I've found this entire slash exchange. I just went and outed myself as a fanfic writer to a friend who I've been lending the Angel DVDs to. He said "Spike and Angel? Well, like, obviously!"

[elisi]

My husband is fabulous! Why do you think we got married young? (He can be incredibly annoying too - although if he was perfect life would be boring...)

Hee to your story. And I love Joss *SO MUCH* - I just wish I had RL friend who were into the show. ::pouts:: (Hey - if you ever feel like visiting, *please* do!)

I can certainly see why! ::giggles madly::

Humour is the key to a good relationship! :D
