So today I attempted to sew the lining of my coat all on my lonesome, and actually succeeded. Except for the sleeves. Evil sleeves. And the fact that I sewed one seam the wrong way and had to unpick it (and we're talking a full seam on an ankle length coat, here) and then REsew it. And my adventures with shoulder seams which involved pinning one tiny seam 5 different ways before I discovered it was in fact on the WRONG shoulder. And my frequent unpicking and repinning and resewing (repeat until bored to death) of parts that weren't quite right. Bloody perfectionism.

Also managed to commit the unspeakable sin of forgetting the existance of my sister, only to be interrupted mid-Evangelion-recap-episode by the front office lady ringing to ask me wasn't I meant to be picking up my sister? Arg >.< Guiltguiltguilt.

However, I managed to catch my father in a good mood and asked casually about food for money in Sydney. And he said of course they would pay for my food. And then went to on to add something about giving me spending money (!!) Obviously the trick is to get HIM to agree to it and thus make it impossible for my mother to veto when she gets back from Brisbane.

By the way, for those that were interested; my brother has placed fifth in his division at the Australian Figure Skating Championships *small glow of sisterly pride* And it's his first Nationals, so that's really quite good.

Because I'm bored, gacked off

not_in_denial:

1. Friend that knows you the best?

This IS a hard one. I'm really not sure, but in general I'm going for a three-way tie between

sanguia,

queencattabby and

izumihydra. All for different reasons.

But then,

dunkywunky and

tammaiya know certain aspects of me very well too.

2. Friend you have known the longest?

Either

brynushka or

queencattabby. I really have no idea. Bryony? When did you start skating?

3. How many on your friends list?

Friends: 38
Friend Of: 27

4. Have you ever dated anyone on your friends list?

No, I tend to avoid relationships. I have, however, promised to marry

dunkywunky if we're both unmarried at the age of 40, and as yet can see no way to back out of this.

5. Friends you have met in person?

I'm going to take the easy way out and list all the people I *haven't* met in person;

kittyling,

min1979,

rubyd,

terijan. Not very many, are there?

6. Friend you would most like to meet in person?

Seeing as I am unpopular and only have four, I think I am entitled to stick all of them under this category.

7. Friend that makes you laugh the most from their post?

sanguia,

tammaiya and

hikarudragon are all frequently hilarious and brighten my day :) Notice me cheating and naming more than one on basically every single question.

Oh yes.

helgmione, for basically every word that she writes and that one damn entry that forced me to learn 1337.

8. Friend you wish posted more?

I don't know, I seem to have a fairly vocal set of friends... probably

sanguia, because her posts are sadly infrequent.

9. Friend you feel is most like you?

Why would I want to hang around people exactly like me? How dreadfully unstimulating.

10. Last person you added as a friend?

oscar_dom, only this evening.

11. Friend that introduced you to LJ?

That would have been

woodstock_21, over whose shoulder I peered during times when we were supposed to be researching for French, and inquired what she was typing. Those good old days before ContentKeeper stole our souls and took our LJs from us...

12. Friend you most want to get know better?

Mostly those I haven't met -

min1979 in particular. Also

kittyling and

rubyd, as my friendship towards them so far consists mostly of lurking.

As for the people that I've actually met, I would really like to see more of

terr0rflare And hopefully shall!

13. Do you read someone's journal that is not on your friends list?

No. If I want to read someone's journal I add them. Well, except RPs.

Based on the # of people your friends list follow the chart below...

If you have 1-5 people on your friends list, say something nice about the 3rd person.
If you have 6-20 people on your friends list, say something nice about the 11th person.
If you have 21-75 people in your friends list, say something nice about the 21st person.
If you have 75+ people on your friends list, say something nice about the 50th person.

Whoa, okay ...*counts*... let's see. Counting someone whose LJ died recently, that would be

neolicious, who is as good as dead anyway but was amusing while he lasted *prods

helgmione Discounting that someone, the lucky winner is

not_in_denial, who is the most reliable updater of you all and frequently lets Wolfgang provide me with entertainment.

I have this song on repeat *sighs happily* Certain people will know its...um...significance.
