Previous Entry  Add to memories!  Tell a Friend  Next Entry
Ladies and gentlemen, your attention please.
I have just done a very brutal friends list cull.

I have mostly taken off the journals of people who have not posted in months, or who I cannot quite recall who they are, but there is every chance that in my enthusiasm I have pruned some friends.

Basically, if you read this and can be bothered to comment, you probably should not have been removed. If you have been, let me know.

I'm pretty sure we're planning on it, and now is the time to get cheap flights. Sakura's looking into the best time to go, and then I'll need to write an email (in Japanese >_<) to the ryokan to reserve us a room. I'll let you know as soon as the Sakura has spoken, and hopefully I can then reserve a three person room!

Sweet, though I cannot book anything until after november!

I have Sydney to deal with then Paris to book as i am off to Paris in early november!

I will also be using my airmiles from Virgin to fly on the cheaaaAaap!

this may mean we have to meet up out there unless you want to fly Virgin too.

Might go BA as they've got the offers at the moment, but meeting up wouldn't be a problem. You could either hang out at Narita or jazz on over to Ueno (where the ryokan is.) There's plenty to amuse yourself with in Ueno if you wanted to.

We were planning on two weeks. Would that be agreeable for you, or would you be leaving after one?

We can, and will, of course, discuss this in rather more detail when things are a bit more solid.

I'd love to hang out sometime soon!

I think two weeks is a must! Happy to fly on my lonesome and meet you at Narita etc, just have toco-ord flights, no biggie!

I will be flying back from Oz for 23 hours on my own soI will cope :P

We should, like, totally hang out!

We're not that far apart. Maybe you could make it for a Slayers at some point? It's not the same without Vaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamidu.

If not, then we could always arrange something else for a weekend or evening...

I hope niisan won't be lonely on that long plane journey. O_O

Ah, it's okay. I'm not threatening to cut people if they don't comment. It's just if I did take people off who I shouldn't have done, they can let me know so I can restore them. I'm pretty sure I didn't take you off! ^_^

How is post-holiday life going for you?

Way too much to do at the old work to get time to write stuff. Currently things are moving slowly at the new work as we wate on the Americans to do something.

I shall leave you with a quote that must be one of the best i've heard in a while.

That I shall! It's always a pleasure to hear from you.

I believe I kept sutasie and dropped deathlymysteria. That's right, isn't it?

Ah, Oscar knew what he was talking about.

Sometimes, anyway...

Yush deathlymysteria has been.... well - dead of a loong time. ^^

As for Oscar, Stephen Fry is perfect. He should also be Rufus Scrimgeor in Harry potter, but enough said on that subject, or I shall be here for ever.

[info]solidark does gorgeous graphics of all varieties. I always loved this layout of hers, and when she got a new one she let me use it. <3

I'd thoroughly recommend a visit to her website, if you haven't been before.

Well, about half of them, actually. Of that, though, an awful lot where people who just don't use their journals any more at all.

Sorry you had such problems with Kaze last night. Don't worry too much about it. It got done and that's all that matters - not who and when. (Try telling Vincent that last part...)

Shiny stars of [info]solidark! I always use her beautiful Winamp skins, so it was a short step to a layout, too. She was so nice - she even explained how to do it all. <3

Your icon is, once again, entirely made of cute.
