Not location specific, No rules: Welcome to ILX heaven

Yay! Congrats Kv!!

fair play

I am excited for Kev-lol'z house.

Yay for house! I did some drinkying last night and am very onimoed indeed.

Yay, indeed for house, KV.

I'll be drinking a small snifter to you tonight - well done!

I am eating Chinese takeaway (Szechuan beef nomnomnom) and quaffing wine.

Well done kevlol! A lifetime of debt is yours.

Congrats, KV-lol. Welcome to the mortgage trap -- it's not so bad!

Congratulations kv!

I have finally got my wireless router installed so to celebrate I am posting here and playing Scrabulous (or at least have 3 games on the go). Expect piddly posting later, possibly.

Sorry, I was watching telly or I would have continued Scrabulous with you. I had NOT ONE SINGLE DROP OF ALCOHOL yesterday. On a Saturday!

S'OK. As you have noticed I need a lot of practice or else I would not have left such an obviously stupid opening.

ha, it's OK, I couldn't do anything with it anyway.

IR teh sukc

I need a lot more practice than I thought. I have an idea and it is distracting me from playing the right tiles.

Thanks all! Now comes the hard part of getting all the money sorted out! Madness altogether. Will not breathe easy until I have keys and first repayment has left account. Hoping for a quick sale anyway.

Walking in along luas (light railway) tracks (too crowded to get on, literally 4 deep at Temple Road. Insane) it appears that my top 100 on the MP3 player has completely banjaxed itself so I'm ambushed by Al Green's So Tired of Being Alone and, god help me, there I am, young, hot and with an ass that won't quit getting all Morrissey! Was very close to taking pictures of myself with hand over face. Terrible. When Milkshake kicked in straight after it did take a few seconds of mental rebooting before business as usual. Great walk in though, hadn't a clue what would kick in next.

Me and Neil have decided we need a hobby and something to do at the weekend that isn't watching football/playing World of Warcraft. So, WE ARE GOING TO GO HORSEY-RIDING! I am stupid mad excited about this, I haven't been horsey-riding since I was a nipper and I loves it and this is the best idea we've ever had ever.

Savage! I fear horses though. I think they're one meal away from killing us all in our beds!

xxpost jesus kev you homeowners are a wordy bunch.

my GF decided 'we' needed more hobbies after six hours of watching football yesterday. this means trouble.

She'll forget all about it once you get her a PSP.

I don't own a house yet. Just had first sum of money asked for. Nearly had heart attack!

Well, it was my entire weekend of watching football and rugby that led Neil to decide we need to get out of the house and do stuff.

Owning houses is expensive, kv, did no-one tell you :-)

Though, to be fair, I did get out of the house. To, um, go the pub to watch football.

(xpost) not often enough!

ailsa, how you doin? this neil sounds like a loser, let's you and me talk.....

Easy there now boy, Glasgow's not that far away for vengeance flights...

ah well, i have the DS Lite pre-ordered anyway, it's prob for the best.

Class. Where did sunshine go?

is that a nickname for Ailsa?

No.

Yay! Horsies are awesomes. I remembered how much I loved horse riding after an arab saw me on his horse and decided I knew what I was doing and MADE IT GO DEAD FAST. I had to wait about 10 minutes on F, who was plodding down the path sedately as a first-time rider.

Horsies going dead fast = one of the coolest things ever.

Riding bareback made it even better.

That's going to end up on ILE epitaphs, isn't it.

Oh hai congrats on the house Kv!!

Cheers Sarah.

I drove to work today and parked yards from my office. I doubt anyone in Austin enjoyed their commute more.

You bought a car? Finally! Here's to happier commuting.

I was given a car. Which will take a bit to settle in with me as I don't like feeling beholden to others. But as it stands I have a car (albeit small and dated) which is clean, low mileage, A/Ced and was free. I am blessed.

Savage.

How's your brother's thing going?

He didn't get it. :( bummerz. He thanks all of my friends though who helped. He's hoping to get increased kicks business out of the exposure.

Buggery. Well I liked his shoes. Plz to link?

Also, 3 reasons why I can believe that Mayo is a great place to live:

Apologies for crappy camera-work!

Here's the main site which his crap webmaster (e.g. me) has not finished. It links to his MySpace though.

I need to get him to make some more, but a bit tamer than the ones he's given me. The bulk of his clients right now are rappers and while the type of shoes he makes for them are awesome onstage, not so much for a small white girl doing non-hip-hop things in Austin.

Damn, that is unbelievably beautiful. Where is Mayo? I love UK coastlines much more than our own.

mayo is the west of ireland. where i live. not to be smug, but:

bastard. I can't find any pics of my area probably b/c it's so boring. (granted there are lovely places west of Austin but only the rich people live there.)

actually, that's with me behind the lens, it just looks really good anyway..

Yeah, hush. there is nothing to show even if I took a picture myself.

How cold is that water? It almost looks like LOST! Okay, I really need to focus on work. The drive and big latte I stopped for have gotten me wound up.

apologies, if it helps the roads are truly awful. xpost

yeah, back to work.

Awful like dirt or awful like traffic?

ahh, I've gotten to the point where I'm burnt out on work. But only one week to the launch of three sites. argh. Also I'm still alone in the office which makes me feel like I shouldn't bother working.

Are you all at home/pub already?

I'm just about to go out to the shops. Then I'm going to do something about my work situation.

My new house is situated in such a way that I can sit here in front of the computer and watch planes taking off all day from Glasgow Airport, thus making me insanely jealous that I am not going on holiday.
