This post is to remind me, for when my SAD kicks in, why sometimes life can be good. :)
Random things that amused me yesterday:
1) Walking down the Strand, I was just getting to the traffic lights when I spotted a bloke coming the other way. He was dressed smartly in a suit; had his hair gelled; nice glasses; grinning like a madman and he had another guy slung over his shoulder. No, seriously. There was a lot ofgirly manly screaming from slung-over-shoulder-guy (also in suit) and a lot of "Put me down!" and helpless laughter. It was one of those moments of 'No, I really can't believe what I'm seeing'. It was also epically awesome that guy one didn't put guy two down, he just carried him off down the Strand. The best bit? Neither of them were drunk. XD They were blatantly boyfriends. Office love FTW!
2) The Soul Sib always amuses me in the best possible ways, bless him. He's working at Sotherby's (a famous auction house) at the moment (as well as teaching kids Ancient History part-time) and he texted to let me know he'd just handled a piece of Herodotus written on papyrus from the 1st Century AD. Awesomeness. Then we had a conversation where I whined about paying tuition fees and he told me that Caesar did as well, so clearly great minds thought alike, and since Caesar went on to sort of rule the known world, when I'd conquered everywhere, could he have Italy? I may have said yes.
His boss also has a pet tortoise. Its name? Herodotortoise. Awesome.
3) I got sick of trying to sort all my fics in my LJ memories, so now I have a FIC LIST instead. It's got all my fanfiction, original fiction and a small amount of meta. So if you can't be bothered to flick through my journal to find something, go there. (It's in a sticky post at the top of the journal.)
How's everyone doing at the moment? Enjoying life?
