My Own Journey To The West!

[puddingcat]

I've told O I'll do the Great Race and passed on munchkinott's link to the Corvette dealer.

The track day is in Vegas! How cool is that! O's something of a poker player too; I'll just have to take along a corset & distract everyone else ;)

Good grief. I'm excited enough about this that I'm not worried any more about spending a week with someone who'll be an ex-work friend and what he might think of me by the end.

Addendum: Things not to say in the office, Part n=n+1.

H: My brother's getting married. Everybody's getting married except me.
Me: I'm not getitng married. I'm not even getting laid.

H laughed so much she cried. G (H's red haired sidekick) went scarlet.

Note to Self. Engage brain, *then* open mouth.

Hope you're planning to take a bucketload of race photos!

Know how you feel.

* wallow wallow wallow *

Oh bugger. Mask slipping there, isn't it?

You cheered her up, anyway.

If you have a non-biometric passport you need to apply for a visa before you go to the US. Everybody ought to know this.

Too bad I've already planned my US trip for this year or I would be happy to be your personal photographer...
When you mentioned Cannonball Run, I thought you meant this.

You rock, but you knew that. :o)

Nah, you're better just speaking without thinking first. It's always much more fun and if you spend too much time pondering what you should say, you never say anything at all!

Gah, I'm so jealous of you that I almost said something cruel about your addendum, ;)

[pink-weasel.livejournal.com]

Oh so exciting! The fabulousness of you doing this takes my breath away! And so much better than saving all your miserable pennies until you are dead!

Also I saw your doppelganger on thie tube this morning and was going to hit her on the head and steal her gothofficewear for you as it was marvellous but she got away.

So listen, I have what is probably a really stupid question about the Cannonball Run:

Which came first, the race or the film?

Since I am a film person and very much not a car race person, I didn't even know there was a real race and only heard about it a few years back. So I naturally assumed the film came first and the actual race was invented afterwards. Was it in fact the other way round?

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE! *bounces up and down* This will be the most awesome, exciting, otherwise fabulous and life-affirming thing you've ever done. *massive hug*

what he might think of me by the end.

Don't worry, he'll only think you're THE MOST AWESOME WOMAN WHO EVER LIVED. Cross-continental coast-to-coast racing with a corset-compulsive - I'm sorry but that is immeasurably cool. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs their head examined.

Me: I'm not getitng married. I'm not even getting laid.

*raises hand* Me either. I've decided there are greater things in the universe at-large than the pursuit of meaningless sex... I haven't found what these things are yet, but at least I'm deluding myself that they're there. *nods firmly*

[indochine-uk.livejournal.com]

You're a hero. Oh yes. Proving that girls not getting laid can still be frikkin' awesome.

*clearly firmly in the not getting laid camp*
