I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends....

[said_scarlett]

Took Nija home! Now, after a bite to eat, I need to redouble packing efforts! Due to general health stuff, I haven't been doing much lately, but now with a more official date and all looming.... Time to haul ass!

nijawial, what are you doing this weekend? My folks want to take us furniture shopping.

I'm still reeling from the house. We celebrated last night with more Venture Bros - Nija is almost done with season 1! We made it up to episode 11. And I finally saw the second half of 'Are You There God, It's Me Dean' and saw 'Ice Station Impossible' again, which I haven't seen since the very first time I ever saw a single episode of Venture Bros.

It's been so long since so many good things were happening in my life. And I find it so amusing, because over a year ago, I was up in Jerome, and had a Tarot reading done. It's a local guy, and he doesn't charge, but asks for donations for the local humane society. And he's a nice guy, so we sat out in the cold and drizzle and wind and had readings done. And I remember I asked about my social life, and he said that it looked like I'd have more luck finding local friends online than I would trying to get out and meet people. And lo and behold, not too much later, I met Nija through damned.

And now we're extremely close friends who have had so much fun together, and are getting a house together. That's the sort of serendipity that doesn't come along too often. It's a giant old internet, and a giant old world. And the odds of someone joining one LJ game, and playing a character who's canonically connected to another, and then finding out they live in the same area...it's astronomical. Especially when that area is the middle of nowhere.

Alright, I've gotten all sappy for long enough. ;) Time to start hauling more bags to the garage.

Go Team Venture!

Hey nao! Don't forget about lil' old me!!!

Just out of curiosity though...had I not found John and moved away, would I have been able to live with you guys too?

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

I met you in Vegas, not the inturwubs! :D You were a real person first!

Well, the shed used to be a guest house, so if you didn't mind being a little cramped and living with the washer and dryer....

[ex-talia-sp.livejournal.com]

This is true! But I was one of those friends he mentioned you meeting (if I remember correctly) eventually.

You should turn it back into a guest house! Stick a futon in there for when John and I come! :)

And no, I wouldn't have minded being cramped. I am used to it. Besides, I would be living with mah best buddies. That'd make up for it.

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Yeah, definitely - in the other bit, about having to go beyond local, and get more involved with real life fandom - but the online thing was just....weird and not the kind of thing that usually happens. No one lives out here! And finding each other completely randomly on an online RPG....

We're definitely putting furniture and stuff in there, and have discussed a sleeper sofa. My mom saw a bunch on sale this weekend. It needs cleanings, though! Current tenants really have not been using the house to it's potential. But from what I could tell, they kind of hate the house. :/ It's too 'vintage'.

:D:D:D

[yashalover18.livejournal.com]

That's actually really amazing.

[ex-talia-sp.livejournal.com]

Well that's awesome! You guys can really fix it up then! Yeah it was coincidental that you and Nija met that way, since you live in the same area. I am glad we all got a chance to get to be good friends before I moved. Can't wait to come and visit though. I am going to talk to John about me coming out for PCC though. He won't be able to since its peak time at his work, but I should be. :D

I don't think I have any plans. My parents were thinking of going camping this weekend but most likely will not chance it with all the mud from the storms. So it means that I will be stuck with them. SO HECK YEAH I’D LOVE TO COME OVER!

And what good timing. With having to put my dog to sleep, my grandmother in Phoenix passing away, and having to take care of my own grandmother up here every weekend while I was struggling with school and instructors who never understood that I didn’t have my weekends to work on things…. You were the only person during this time who cheered me up and gave me good and happy things to look forward to. I consider myself truly blessed to have you (and of course Chrissy! <3) as my friend.

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Awesome! We'll be off to the Room Store, then! Um, we're getting a whole seven piece living room set from my folks. O.o

*hugs* We are always here for you!

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

It's seriously one of those awesome stories to tell. BEHOLD, THE POWER OF THE NET!

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

We can! And we are. :D Nija's already planning out the yard, her mom's on the restoring, I'm thinking about how to clean... we're going all out with this place. It was so bizarre. And dude, so am I. That night in Vegas...that was awesome, man. I can't believe it's only been a year, it feels like so much longer! I HOPE YOU CAN! WE MISS YOU! We're not the Drunken Koalas without you!

[ex-talia-sp.livejournal.com]

It does feel like longer!

The Drunken Koalas shall have a big adventure come January!!! I shall bring baked goos! And perhaps we shall have *tea*!

(and btw, I have that song stuck in my head now, damn Beatles)

[ex-talia-sp.livejournal.com]

:D

[nijawial.livejournal.com]

oooh nice! AND WOW! Tell your parents THANK YOU! Oh heck! I'll tell them in person!

*hugs* and I am always here for you guys as well should you ever need me!

[ex-talia-sp.livejournal.com]

I just have to cut in and say, wow...you lucky bitches.

[nijawial.livejournal.com]

WE CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO COME AND VISIT! *glomps* We miss you!

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Oh, the clever trickery of time!

YES WE SHALL! SUPER AWESOME HAPPY ADVENTURE TIME! Perhaps we shall! :D

(hahaha, sorry! I've had Meat Loaf's 'Good Girls Go to Heaven (Bad Girls Go Everywhere' stuck in my head.)

[ex-talia-sp.livejournal.com]

I MISS YOU GUYS TOO!!!

I wish I could come out sooner, but I think if I save up to come in January it would better, since there's a con, and yeah.

[ex-talia-sp.livejournal.com]

IS OKAY...I used another lyric from the song for my journal entry.

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Yes! So that sounds good? We'll probably pick you up Friday?

*hugs* SPEAKING OF! Made an icon:

(http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v197/ladyfeylene/Icons/?action=view&current=go_team.jpg)

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Yeah, pretty much. We're blown away by our folks through this whole thing, seriously.

[nijawial.livejournal.com]

YES! January would be great! By then we should be good and settled, There'll be a con and you'll have more money to spend by then! \o/

[kanara.livejournal.com]

Sofa sleepers are great... except they are hella-heavy. At least you won;t be moving it up any flights of stairs if you put it in the guest shed.^^

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Oh, we wouldn't be moving it up stairs anyway. :D I can't do stairs at all, the house is only one floor. We'd probably get one like we have in my folks' guest room, which is a loveseat kind of deal, and not that heavy.

[nijawial.livejournal.com]

OK! Friday sounds great! Mom wanted a concrete answer on if we wanted the house or not since she was about to call Susan and I told her yes.

And I just grabbed some hollyhock seeds. Didn't get a lot though. :( Storm got in the way and many many bugs.

oooh! ICON! May I add it to my icons? ^_^

[ex-talia-sp.livejournal.com]

Yeah I would be too!

[ex-talia-sp.livejournal.com]

Huzzah!

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Hahahaha, yes, yes, a thousand times yes! :D

Wheee! That's okay. :D

OF COURSE! THAT IS WHY I MADE IT!

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

OH ALSO!

BABY IN THE NURSERY! Nina gave birth! A lovely water stallion!

hm... I thought I commented but I guess it didn't go through.

[nijawial.livejournal.com]

YES! Friday!

YAY! Venture Brothers ICON! May I add it to my icons?

Re: hm... I thought I commented but I guess it didn't go through.

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

*pokes* I thought it went through...I responded... O.o WTF, LJ?

[nijawial.livejournal.com]

Really? Link? *Bounces*

YAY! I HAVE A NEW ICON!

Re: hm... I thought I commented but I guess it didn't go through.

[nijawial.livejournal.com]

Lj didn't allow it to show the 4 or 5 times I refreshed it. O_O and it also said that this one didn't go through.

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

YES! http://www.ponystars.com/?p=poney&id=217153

YOU DO!

Also, I was packing, and came across all my gorgeous fantasy art. Mostly Amy Brown and Nene Thompson. I never even took them out of their protective packaging!

[nijawial.livejournal.com]

Awww he's a cute! Wow, Nina has some strong traits. I was hoping he'd turn out a lighter purple than that. But I am glad that the hair darkened a little.

oooh! I love it when you find stuff like that. I need to get back to packing but I don't feel like it. I am such a slacker.
