oddness

Had an interesting line from someone - I stuck up an ad for a beta, got two offers, but one of them said 'I've read your fic and the quality of writing is normally very high so I'm not sure what I can offer'. Which does make clear just how much an editor/beta contributes - as any of the people who've beta'd for me can tell you, my first drafts normally involve pointing and laughing on behalf of the beta.

Oh, and there's nothing like being phoned up by a tickets company to say that your payment hasn't gone through - 2 days before the performance, even though you've got the tickets. (and checking statements, the payment indeed hadn't gone through...) Fortunately sorted, but *gah*.

haul of the day

6 She-Ra Ladybird books off ebay. Given that I can't find them at home, I suspect they've been attic'd. or donated. :glares: re-reading really does prove that it is possibly the gayest little cartoon *evah*. or as I put it, showing people a pic of Bow (token male) 'Does this look like a man who could see heterosexuality with a telescope on a clear day?

grabbed girlie from work to check how a knee length tweed skirt in charity shop looked on me colour-wise, went in, no bloody skirt... but on the other hand, one ankle-length Gibson-girl style skirt. (hugs bum, flares out below for walking purposes) Admittedly it's more Edwardian than Turn of the Century late Victorian, but it'll be a good back up and i can always use it in something else. Still making the red full skirt, though, since I have *no* idea what to do with 2m of red twill otherwise.

biting nails slightly - a pair of size 5 orange lo-top converse have come up on buy it now on ebay - but they're yellow-orange (name of colour is 'cheddar' to give you an idea) whereas the colour I need is the more bright orange. I missed the last pair due to not having any idea what size I needed. Do I get these just in case?

Laughing my arse off. listening to annie mac's mashup on iplayer and the mini-mix included the Ewok Song. And yeah, those of you who have heard me sing it? I get the lyrics *right*.
