Date: 2008-04-25 04:46 pm (UTC)RUM! How sailor of you! Rum is pretty tasty. I really don't drink enough of it. And 10,000 Pounds would definitely be better than dollars right now. What, about twice as good, with the exchange rate right now?
I last reread bits of Sharpe's Eagle. Looking for something.
Y'know, that's one thing about being an obsessed, I mean focused, fan-- you can enjoy something over and over. Ever re-read bits for research, and then just keep on going until you've finished the book again? ;)
Have a wonderful Friday!

You and I both on the romance front-- it would be nice. I'll admit I haven't tried much recently, though. I tend to get over real men very quickly. It makes me wonder if I have it in me to settle down.
And would the drink be the "Virgin Obi-Wan?" :)
Have a wonderful weekend! You have made me miss you. :) Maybe I'll have to drop by Georgia for the heck of it.

Date: 2008-04-29 05:35 am (UTC)Well, alcohol certainly is a social lubricant! Unfortunately, I get a little too friendly after too many drinks, and end up talking to people I really don't want around for long. ;)
Ooh, Japan Town? Where do you live that has a Japan Town? Cool! We have a Chinatown but it's all restaurants. :(
SKIN that's my answer too, exactly.
And unfortunately, I'm not small. Perhaps I'd end up carrying you, haha! Thanks for answering-- off to do the same.
