Jounal Round-Up
Sam's been behaving himself, I'm wondering what he's up to...
Being Human was very cool, Vamp's a bit emo, Ghost a little reminiscent of Lauren the Teenager, but I can let them off just for the cool idea and actually living up to the premise.
2 overheard conversations I have to share, (AKA the reason why Lana sometimes hides from Chris the way I hide from Sam)
Lana: Honey, you know how I asked you to get strawberry yoghurts, I know you're not good with fruit but...?
Chris: What?
Lana: *Shows him cherry yoghurts. It should be noted there is a photograph of a cherry on them*
Chris: What?
Lana: These are cherry?
Chris: Oh...sorry, I only looked at the picture...
half an hour later
Chris: How long does a teacake take in the toaster?
Lana: Just push the buttons down and cancel it fifteen seconds before a full cook time
Chris: Wha?
Lana: Put teacakes in, press teacake cook buttons, watch timer until it says fifteen, press cancel
Chris: k
three and a half minutes later, smoke alarm
Lana: What the yellow rubbery fuck?
Chris: I followed the instructions!!!
Lana: Did you press the teacake button, or did you leave it on toast?
Chris: Ummmm....
Lana: Going to Mac's! (grabs Mac and hauls him out of the house, still wetting himself with laughter)
And I have a meme from

Comment and I'll give you a letter, pick ten things you like that start with that letter and why. Post in your journal; with these instructions.
1. Sugar - I have such a sweet tooth it's not even funny, seriously, I'll make a bowl of icing (frosting for our American friends) and just eat it, or spread it on biccies and eat them.
2. Sweaters - I get cold really easily, and there's nothing quite like a big sweater (preferably one that belongs to your other half) to cuddle up in.
3. Sylar - mostly because he's played by Zach Quinto, and is therefore very, very tasty. I would probably be scared witless if I was confronted with the real Sylar, I have to admit.
4. Strawberries - I love them, I love the taste, the tang, the tartness, I love alpine strawberries, proper strawberries and even strawberry popcorn. Possibly the only thing better than strawberries is strawberries coated in chocolate!
5. Sawyer, Robert J. (see what I did there?) - A sci-fi author I really like, it's such a pain that I can't find his books easily. He explores interesting questions, doesn't preach from a soap-box, and always seems to have a grounding in solid science, at least as far as I can tell. Calculating God made me cry.
6. Serenity - This is what sci-fi movies should be, intelligent, dramatic, and still full of pretty. We needed to say goodbye to Firefly, and this was a fitting farewell.
7. Spooks - While I hate what they've done to this show I still look back fondly on the first two series, while Matthew MacFadyen was still in charge. I know some may disagree with me but I feel it's just gone downhill since then.
8. Seurat - One of my favourite artists, pointillism is an amazingly exacting method, and seeing one of his paintings up close is amazing.
9. Snow-Leopard - probably the most beautiful animal on the planet, I've spent hours in Edinburgh zoo sketching them.
10. Starbucks - I know, I know, it's awful. But Tazo Chai Latte? I must have.

Ha ha ha, my mother thinks I am so odd when I make some icing and proceed to eat it from the bowl ^__^
I don't know if I would be terrified or squeeing like an utter idiot if I met the real Sylar....he would probably want to kill me after I glomped him...
Ah Starbucks, I love it...I don't buy anything from there often, but I had a Pumpkin Spice Frappecino (or however its spelled) when in NY and I loved it...I was dissappinted when I couldn't get one in Glasgow...
no subject
I think I'd probably turn into my usual mentally deficient I-fancy-someone freak self :P
I think you can buy the syrups in the stores now, although it's actually cheaper to buy the big bottles from the states and ship them over (Chris got 4 litres of Gingerbread syrup for X-mas)
no subject
Ooh you can? Awesome...maybe I can buy some of that syrup when in Ohio and take it home with me, yum yum! And gingerbread syrup soounds yummy!
no subject
I think it cost 20 dollars for postage on Chris's, something like that (and 6 dollars a bottle :P) I know it came out at about £32 for two bottles and postage, which sounds expensive, but that's enough for 66 coffees, and at £3 a coffee... Still saving a fortune in the long run, plus you can get the flavoured coffees out of season :D
no subject
It is saving a fortune! And you get to enjoy starbucks coffee in the comfort of your own home ^__^

It's actually been pretty peaceful here today, but sometimes it's complete chaos.

You have no idea how true this is. I went to high school for "gifted children" and those people are some of the smartest people I have ever met, but man did we all have bizarre moments of being unable to do the simplest things.

Masha interjects from my floor that she once grabbed two spoons from a cutlery drawer while in search of a knife and a fork. A sorted cutlery drawer.
I also regularly have to stop her from walking into traffic. She looks both ways and fails to notice oncoming cars.
As for me, I seem to have picked up the quirks without the genius. I asked Masha to describe a recent "we's gifted" moment I've had and she told me my entire personality is one large quirk. XD
Edit: Masha recalls one gentleman of our acquaintance who decided that the Mona Lisa was a statue.
We also decided in our graduating year to force our English teacher to get us to call him by his first name. We went as a class to see a play followed by dinner, and one of us started talking to the English teacher about his girlfriend. Very, very explicitly. The next day, the English teacher came into class and said "Okay, guys, I can't have you calling me Mr. ___ after everything I heard last night. It feels wrong."
Another good one: The line, "You're so smart sometimes, [teacher name]," delivered in total deadpan without apparent realization of how that emphasis is incredibly insulting.
May edit with more later-- the nostalgia's really rolling now XD
