Woo!

I received a phone call late this afternoon telling me that at 5:18pm Melbourne time I became an uncle again. I wonder when people will start asking me when my turn is...

In other news Swancon last weekend was a lot of fun. I quite literally can not wait until the next one. Made a reasonable effort at being more active socially this year; still need more practice though. I took the time to go to more panels, and spent less time just floating around the hotel.

I was terribly impressed with the ease with which cyps and willowgypsy *waves to them* (two people I'd known outside of fandom for 12 years now; there was this constant feeling of being Perthed. :) ) assimilated into swancon culture. It made me glad to be associated with such a welcoming group of people.

My camera is in the repair shop at the moment, having its LCD replaced (after somehow being broken while still in its camera bag). I kind of feel naked without it. :P

My Swancon photos (such as they are) will be available Real Soon Now (need to cull the crap/duplicates first).

Congratulations! :)

You reminded me of something I forgot to include in my Swancon post! *hangs head in shame* I want to thank you, dafwarg, willowgypsy, prk and amarillion for keeping an eye on me and making sure I was always okay. :)

Oh my god! A post! YAY!!!

Maybe after we get our spa (should be the standard answer we start giving out to people who ask if it's our turn yet :) )

Are you being naughty at work as well? Or are you lucky enough to be off? :P

[linstar.livejournal.com]

No no, I'm never naughty at work. Everyone thinks I am an absolute angel! :)

Having said that, I am not doing my work :) I am the only one in the office now and have decided work is not as interesting as seeing what other people have to say and other fascinating things like that! :)

*laughs* So it's just the rest of the time you're naughty? :P

I have so much paperwork building up on my desk it's to the point where I can't figure out where to start... so why bother? :P (Although i suspect I'll be in on the weekend figuring out the answer to that question.)

You're not naughty unless you get caught. (Obviously whatever you're doing, you're being caught too often! :) )

I've just run around like a chicken with it's head cut off. Am going to go back to browsing through an Undercoverwear catalogue now... Oooohhh! PRETTY!!!

*looks a picture of innocence*

Me? Get caught? *coughs* This is me you're talking to. I never get caught. :P

I'm going to go back to ... what was I doing? :)

[leahcim.livejournal.com]

Does this make me the naughty one then?

[linstar.livejournal.com]

Depends. Who've you been caught with? :P

[leahcim.livejournal.com]

Depends. Who would you like me to be caught with? :P

*covers her eyes*

This went places I never really intended it to... :P

[leahcim.livejournal.com]

Which is entirely the reason for taking it there. :P

[maelkann.livejournal.com]

'literally'... you keep using that word...

[leahcim.livejournal.com]

Okay, so maybe I am bending the definition a little. It does mean what I think it means though. Perhaps I shall instead use Night's Edge and/or Gengiscon to tide me over.

[goth-kittie.livejournal.com]

Night's Edge! Night's Edge!

*excited bounce*

This post reminds me that I wish you would post more :)

Thanks for everything on the weekend. Thanks for being such a wicked friend - I think I said to you recently that I love that our friendship has a 'timeless' quality.

Hope the camera is better and home from the hospital being loved :)
