big fat pratchett fan pretty much since Sourcery was released in hardcover :)

Favourite characters (Mine are Vimes, Death, Death of Rats, Ridcully, Polly and the pictsies)

[identity profile] taleya.livejournal.com 2006-02-03 12:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Vimes (of course) Gaspode, Moist (for some strange reason) Death, Granny, the Bursar and Ponder just cracks me up because you just know he's going to get completely and utterly Ridcullied.

There can be only one t'ousand!

oh and a fondness for Rincewind. Half a pound of mature rincewind, please...

Aw, Rincewind! Poor bugger.

Still a rabid Vimes!fan though. *wuvs*

How good was Thud!? He's passed into the realm of EPIC now! (wasn't as good as Night Watch but I doubt Pratchett will EVER be able to top that one...wow.

SHHHHHH I HAVEN'T READ IT YET!!!

I just got a friend to lend it to me...and I have so much to do/read/write *sobs*

[identity profile] taleya.livejournal.com 2006-02-03 12:20 pm (UTC)(link)
oh read! read read read!!

Then you won't look so puzzled when I scream WHERE'S MY COW! at you...

[identity profile] nicodeimus.livejournal.com 2006-02-03 12:25 pm (UTC)(link)
...I've read 'Where's My Cow?' In a bookshop. Much to the annoyance of the shop assistants.

oooh trust me, Thud! ....well, actually I'd better shut up before I give the game away :P

doo-de-dooo..

You can sit on your own mouth?
WHY are you over there and not over here?

[identity profile] taleya.livejournal.com 2006-02-03 12:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Weather's warmer. I don't do cold :P

[identity profile] nicodeimus.livejournal.com 2006-02-03 12:37 pm (UTC)(link)
The UK isn't cold. Granted, Ozland is absurdly hot, but Britain is just mildly chilly.

It's a bit more extreme atm, but this is about as bad as it gets.

[identity profile] taleya.livejournal.com 2006-02-03 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Absurdidly hot? Mildly chilly? Put down the crack pipe! :p

Your heatwave = pleasant day for we aussies
Your winter = Man, if icicles are starting to form in my merkin, I should not be outdoors.

I like not having to wear many clothes. I like being warm. Chunks of frozen water fall out of your sky with alarming regularity! That's crazy shit!

[identity profile] nicodeimus.livejournal.com 2006-02-03 12:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Chunks of frozen water fall out of our sky once in a blue moon (unfortunately)

I like the cold. It means roaring fires and couchsnugglage. I like wearing lots of clothes. I'm prudish. *shrugs*


[identity profile] taleya.livejournal.com 2006-02-03 12:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh we can snuggle, but it's more "we want to" and less "OMGWEDIEIFWEDOOOOOON'T"

Cool nights, lots of swimming pools, getting drunk and swimming in water features at your workplace (that was fun!) sitting outside and swinging on a chair....ahh good times, good times.

Plus everyone has a legitimate reason to wear thongs, tshirts, shorts and sandles to work in summer :D

[identity profile] nicodeimus.livejournal.com 2006-02-03 12:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not allowed to swim much. So that's not a great advantage!

I like autumn. It's my favourite season. And the nice trees and grass and sheep and llamas and horses.

Oh, horsey riding tomorrow! *dances*

[identity profile] taleya.livejournal.com 2006-02-03 12:58 pm (UTC)(link)
May one ask why not? (most people swim down here...we're surrounded by bloody water on all sides, it seems the reasonable thing to do :P)

We dont' really get a proper autumn in Melbourne. Melbourne's absolutely schizophrenic weather wise, it's pretty much either hot, cold, or just right, but take a jacket because you'll get pissed on later...

[identity profile] nicodeimus.livejournal.com 2006-02-03 01:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Urgh. Ear stuff. (in and out of doctors and hospitals since childhood, oh the fun- then we got glasses and braces and the drug that makes you want to kill yourself) Not that I like to whinge or anything.

Melbourne eh? What's your postcode? *prepares stalker notebook*

ack, I had that horrifically for years, along with chest infections, asthma, motion sickness, and a cough I couldn't shake. We eventually found out it was a milk allergy. I switched to skim and havent' had a problem since o.o

Swimming is good therapy. Helps me a lot with my dystrophy. (aren't we all just a bunch o' cripples? :P)

I live in Chadstone. Just follow the loud music, hysterical laughter and fleeing neighbours. Although my other half and I are half-arsedly planning on going to the UK sometime this year...

I'm surprised we have the stregnth to THINK let alone type.

HA! It's amazing how used you get to having a life that would drive any normal person insane, isn't it? *laughs at them* they're weak, is all! They've been debauched by their soft lives!!

*starts cleaning shit off spare bed* lemme know if I need to set up the ramp over the stairs

*chuckles* Debauched *chuckles more*
I am not childish.

The SPARE bed? Shit? I'm offended *cheeky bastard grin*

Well I've only got a queen-sized futon, and I'm an inveterate sprawler. There's barely room for the other half there 90% of the time. (Don't ask me how a woman who can curl up happily and fit on a single two-seater couch quite comfortably can take up a queen-sized bed, I just do)

but the spare bed is a queen as well! and it's next to my room, which makes it easier for midnight sneakings :P

...Alrighty then. Can I bring friends?

[identity profile] taleya.livejournal.com 2006-02-03 01:45 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah, but there's a beer tax. Three bottles per additional person.

James likes stella.

[identity profile] nicodeimus.livejournal.com 2006-02-03 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't drink. But I'll bring jam and ice cream and cookies. And cake. I liek cake.

[identity profile] taleya.livejournal.com 2006-02-03 01:56 pm (UTC)(link)
*hiss* *evil eye* Cake? CAKE? Away ei' ye, ye hellbound spawn o' satan!!

I don't like cake. never have. And I don't like chocolate. But for some reason I go absolutely crackers over mud cake. Go figure.
