On another Happy note, into the midst of my darkness, there came Quantum and J, wielding fearsome dahl-making skills, bringing 'meatspace' company and videos. I *heart* them.

Gah! If I'd known you had £2500 in your pocket, I would have mugged the Hell out of you on the way out of the pub, Seldom.

On the happy - I need to share with those of you not following the cute animals thread the joy of fennecs.



Grows up to be serene and stackable:



I think I'm in love.

While reading a beeb article on animal laughter, I came across this:

When rats are tickled in a playful way, they become socially bonded to humans and are rapidly conditioned to seek tickles

Those last five words melt me.

Come share my joy. After nearly six years of crappy ME, and four years of not working, I am feeling well enough to start working part time again. And I have an interview for the first job I applied for!!! . Even if I don't get the job I am so over the moon to have been shortlisted, especially as I have little direct experience in the field (Project Worker at cafe for homeless men and women). Happy happy happy.

Yay indeed!

On the rats thing- it's occurred to me that if vivisection only went as far as tickling rats and gently poking penguins with sticks, I wouldn't be anywhere near as hardcore in my opposition to it as I am.

It could also be called vivitickling or viviprodding then, couldn't it? That would be much nicer.

How does one become a rat-tickler? It's got to be better than my current job.

Wow. They grow up to be cuter than when they're babies.

Isn't that scientifically impossible?

Squeee! Stand well back from my face, for there are powerful streams of molten eye pouring out of both sockets.

I'm finding it tricky to decide which is cuter, mind - those babies look very ticklable and roll-aroundy.

ah what nice!

so copey's sock/brick/bottle/whatever only went and bloody asked her, and she only bloody went and said yes!!

so there'll be a fine wedding this year, more foppish paintball/seaside action, and, oh yes, there's a certain best man rocking the after-dinner speech for the second time in his smallish but nicely formed lifespan. that'd be me, yes - best.

Wicked!

I've got kind of a two-level happy- a friend has just come back from taking her dog to the vet, and they're BEGGING her to convince me to take a puppy they have that needs a home.

This is happy-inducing on two levels- one, I may be getting a puppy (and I have someone sorted to look after her while I'm on night shifts until she's old enough and used to spending a few hours on her own)... and two, even if I don't (I've told them I'll give them an answer tomorrow) the vet specifically wanted ME to take the puppy, which gives me kind of a happy in itself. (They always loved Biscy at that vet's, too. I like them).

Stoatie - I am so happy if a little envious to hear the puppy news. And being told you are a good dog person is always wonderful. Woof!!

I just sold a short story to Postscripts magazine. Yay me.

Short stories? We want novels, Sax. Novels.

(I'm going to meet the puppy in a bit... although my mind is almost made up anyway...)

Stoatie! Hurrah! Hurrah for possible puppyness!

I wish I could get a puppy but my lesbian cat would be very put out.

Wooohoo Stoatie. We can do dogwalking together with a dog each - and they can excercise each other. Assuming you take said hound on, of course...

Woooh for puppies and story-selling.

1.I am not miserably ill for the first time since New Years'!

This is happymaking enough.

2.I'm still not feeling super-perky and having been a shut-in for at least a week, so my social/professional-speak skills are teh rusty.

Which makes phoning magazines trying to place a story about BiFest pretty nerve-wracking as

a)I have never done this before
b)when slumpy, I get stupidly nervous about using the phone.

I have been putting off doing this for days, stressing like an eedjut, and today, finally got off scaredy arse and rang 3 of our target publications.

Two of which are going to run short news items based on my talking to them/the press release wot I wrote.

I have no grounds for comparison but I'm pretty sure that 2/3 as PR bod is pretty good going.

Yay me!

Yay GGM!

And yay me! For I got the puppy! Or will have on Tuesday, anyway. And she's absolutely fucking gorgeous.

Hooray for Stoatie and GGM! Big yay for puppies and PR fabulousness!

What you gonna call it, Stoatie?

Yes, well done the both of you.

Stoat, you should call your puppy Boboss.

Yay! Stoatiepuppydogjollyhappiness! I think you should call it Spike. I've always wanted a dog called Spike.

17:53 / 11.01.06
Hmmm, I see it's a female dogette. Spike might still work, depending upon termperament.

Some kind of lab/collie/something-or-other cross- no idea on name yet; I'm gonna live with her for a day or two before I figure out what suits her.

i like diomedes.

i think i mentioned this before on the board when asked for names for a dog. think its a great name, referencing the fearless, fierce and loyal chap from the story of troy(he gets his own chapter in the original, i believe).

dude was dogged, man. he wounded both aphrodite and ares on the battlefield of that ten year war. there aint many who can lay claim to making a deity bleed, but this motherfucker did it twice.
yeah.
twice.
on the same day.
he was gonna have a go at appollo in between, but stopped himself when he remembered he had been forbidden to by athena.
he was not only fucking hardcore, but his loyalty was without question.


plus, you can shorten it to dio.
