GIP and not GIP.

[amand_r]

So I have that huge ass insane amount of 5 things, and I will do them, but nt right now.

1. I apparently. Am getting sick. Like watching the slow approach of a train whilst tied to the tracks, I am trying to save myself with Dudley Do-Right versions of tea and all that herbal crap that the medical person in me knows doesn't really work. Alas.

2. Went to get my hair cut. The girl flat-ironed my hair at the end, which was sweet but unnecessary, because I'll never do it again, but her fingers were on my scalp and my head was all tingly and I just kind of closed my eyes and thought about like, England. Or pop tarts.

3. I could really use a pop tart.

4. Do you find that when you're at the salon, you stare at other people? I mean, I'm not a talker, but even if I was, My eyes can only look at myself in the mirror for so long. So there was this GORGEOUS girl getting her hair cut across from me, and it was easy to focus on her, and I didn't mean to, but I just kept looking (look, she was gorgeous, and she had pouty lips. I LOVE pouty lips. It's a fetish.), and she would look at me than and we'd do that awkward look away thing. I hate that moment.

5. I didn't realise that the autopsy fic would get so out of hand. Had I known, I might have had it betaed or something. ::does that 'oops' thing Jack does at the end of Gwen's wedding:: I promise the next thing I post will be funny. How's that?

6. Kel: zomg if you were coming to HW you could meet thad. i was trying to get blue to come, too
Amand-r: You should get her to come! I wish I could be there, but I'll still be in the UK.
Kel: i want to be in the UK!
Amand-r: I SHOULD DRAW SOMETHING ON GDL'S HAND IN SHARPIE, AT HUB 3, AND I BET IT WILL STILL BE THERE WHEN HE GETS TO HW.
Kel: HAHAHAHA
Amand-r: IT WILL SAY, "HI THAD AND KEL!"

7. SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK. FACE HOT. EYES HURT. WANT TO WRITE SO BADLY. NOW THAT I HAVE NO DEADLINES. BUT SIIIIIIIIICK.

8. LJ is, of course, eating comments, so I can look at the most recent entries and seem to be on top of my lj, but if you commented to me elsewhere and I don't reply, it because I don't kow that I should. Tell me if there's anything pressing (against your thigh. That isn't my cock).

OMG, I totally do the awkward look-around thing at the salon, too. I can only stare at my own head for so long. But my salon is so tiny that it's usually just one or two people at a time, so I can never find anyone else to stare at! Instead, I usually look at the pictures the stylist has pinned up next to the mirror. I think her kids' faces are permanently scored in my memory. :)

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

OMG YES THE PICTURES OF KIDS.

Also, I go to the stylist with no make up on, usually because I do walk ins (I suck like that), but today I had an appointment and I didn't do much more than throw clothes on and go in because I am sick. Have you ever noticed that the lighting in there ALWAYS MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE SHIT?

[walktheboat.livejournal.com]

Oh the lighting! The crappy, crappy lighting that makes me look like I haven't slept in two weeks. I swear, it's deliberate. The stylists want you to feel horrible about yourself, so you'll spend that few extra dollars on a really good haircut. And the worst part? IT ALWAYS WORKS ON ME.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Haaahahaha, I have no concept of what looks good on me, so I never just tell them what to do, but I usually just want a trim.

I think Imma dye my hair purple.

[walktheboat.livejournal.com]

Ooh, my little sister once had purple streaks. It was a lot of upkeep on her part, because she has dark hair. Tons of bleaching and re-dying to keep the color bright. It looked good, though.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I might do the bottom half, like the underside or something. And I'm not going to be one of those people who bleaches first. I did that before my surgery though. I figured that if I died on the table, at least those big purple bangs would look good in the coffin.

6. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA. It's the truth in all that that makes it hurty funny.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I just have to beer him up a little and press really hard with the marker.

I say this is complete jest, of course, as I won't be getting anywhere near him, and instead will "meep!" behind whomever is handy when he walks or glances in my general direction.

[blue-fjords.livejournal.com]

I am so tempted to go to meet him, but I would totes vomit if I did. I'm so sure. I've never met a celebrity (Kirsten Dunst does not count, as she was 12 when she came to my town to film "Jumanji" and I didn't know who she was). Oh, and except for Nigel Barker, b/c he supports my place of employment. And I did not throw up on him (also did not know who he was and had to be told). I also do not have a huge ass crush on Nigel Barker, have never had a, um, type of dream involving him, or have written anything involving a character he plays getting laid. So I don't know if I am cut out for the con experience. B/c let's say I go to hang w/ kel, I *know* I'm going to be looking for GDL and making an ass of myself. I don't want to be an ass. But I do want to meet him. Snerk. :P

[rm.livejournal.com]

Just, if you do, try to catch him on the early side at a con. He seems to get peopled-out and the pattern seems to be that he really digs the first two days of a con and by day three the ability to smooth over the not unexpected awkwardness of fans just sort of goes (whereas Kai Owen is a superhero and never seems to hit this point, but I have no idea how) which makes interactions... funny and weird, but not like, in a good way.

Also, he's so, so, so different from Ianto in almost every way, that it's actually pretty easy to be chill around him, because woah, totally different guy. And scruffy!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I think I like his scruffy, GB singing, beer drinking ways more than I like Ianto. Oh, my boys from the hood. How I lurv you.

[shadowedkit.livejournal.com]

I'd feel pressured by Ianto to actually behave and keep quiet. Ie- don't let too much out and don't make much humour.

Until I got to know him and pick up the subtle wit :-)

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

OMG if there was a Ianto he'd hate me.

[shadowedkit.livejournal.com]

well.. you never know :-) He likes Jack!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Dude, I am nothing like Jack. Number one, lack of cock. Hrm.

[shadowedkit.livejournal.com]

Yes, lets just remove that statement and say my mind was completely somewhere else!

[laurab1.livejournal.com]

Gareth will probably be persuaded into singing at one of the parties at the Hub XD

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I won't know, because I will be at a bar somewhere. It's okay. I'm afraid of celebs.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Well then you are entirely doomed. Because yes. He's really scrumptious.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

DAMMIT.

[rm.livejournal.com]

I deal with celebrities a lot. He has the dubious distinction of being the only one that's caused me to forget how to breathe in _years_.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I will be hiding in the hotel bar then.

[rm.livejournal.com]

And he's really lovely. Like it's not anything he did, he's just completely what I go for in a guy, at least in a casual lust way.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I refuse to have a celeb crush. REFUSE.

I'M DOOMED.

[laurab1.livejournal.com]

YES :D Kai was especially awesome, at the last Hub.

[shadowedkit.livejournal.com]

Ugh! Hope you feel better soon- I'd say get some more rest and sleep, but you also have a toddler to look after, so that could be a little difficult.

Ha! About No6- just press hard with the marker :P

2- I very rarely get my haircut, but it is seriously one of the best things in the world. Nice and tingly as well would be an awesome combination with your hair. I do the awkard look-around as well, can't stand watching the headdresser and my head in the mirror or I get nervous. *grins* There is usually kids in the salon when I go- so watching them interact warily with each other is quite amusing.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Bleaugh, toddler. At least she's at daycare tonight until 6:30. I'll take her to the park later.

Strange, but that tingly head feeling I get when I'm st the salon? I also get it watching those painting instructional shows.

I watch a lot of them. You'd think I could paint by now.

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

is it b/c you want Bob Ross's hair?

my 'hairdresser' is either my sister (when i'm poor) or my cousin, so i just close my eyes and listen to them blather

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I don't want his hair, no. Poor Bob. But when the camera zooms in on the brushstrokes, honest to god, I could watch that all day. TINGLY SCALP.

[shadowedkit.livejournal.com]

Tingly feeling when watching painting instructional shows? .. Are the shows trying to communicate with your brain?

On a serious note, that is really interesting.

Oh man, I really do wish that if we watched a lot of something- we could do it. I can't paint as well, but the sucker for me is actually gardening. Not matter how much I try, watch, read- just don't have the green thumb and the plants are killed D:

Yay for Mom having some quiet time and rest before picking up the daughter!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I get that feeling when kids I babysit play with my hair, too.

Them: Sit on the floor by the couch so we can braid your hair and put fifty billion barrettes in it.
Me: OKAY.

[shadowedkit.livejournal.com]

Ha! Thats genius- keep all the kids in one spot and effectively a good way to distract them that isn't a tv.

Just.. your hair might be a little difficult to brush/comb afterwards.

[beesandbrews.livejournal.com]

Feel better!
p.s. Theraflu tastes better than Alkaselzer Cold.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I love Theraflu. Sometimes I have to tell myself that it's only for when I have colds.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

I always read crappy magazines at the salon. I don't even like to watch them doing my hair. Usually I'm facing in the wrong direction, anyway.

Crappy magazines, my guilty salon pleasure. I learn things. Like... who Jessica Simpson is. I mean, that was like, five years ago, but I didn't know until I had my hair highlighted.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Haaahahaha. I always feel guilty not talking to people tho are providing a service to me. Like, I would prefer to sit in the taxi and stare out the window, but then I feel too...elitist or something, like "drive on jeeves". That's pretty much my whole exposure to every service industry person I meet, from the maids who clean the hotel room to the check out lady.

[51stcenturyfox.livejournal.com]

Yes, me too, if the person is chatty. Sometimes they're chatting with the other stylists or whatever, though, (mine does) so I don't feel bad about reading.

And then they stick you under the damned dryer for the colour to process and your ears burn off for half an hour.

This is why I stopped highlighting. It takes FOREVER.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

I am dying my hair tonight. That's it. Drunken hair dying.

[melissa2u.livejournal.com]

Being a completely hopeless U2 fan, I read

I could really use a pop tart.

And thought "I bet that's what Bono said."

So much funnier if you know that PopTart was Adam Clayton's handle during the PopMart tour.

And now, for my next trick, I will go pass out before the delirium takes over.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Haahaahahaha BONO WAS LIKE, CHERRY POP TART, I NEED YOU.

I also need a pop tart. and to pass out.
