I thought I'd make a little place for all the weird and wonderful things that tumble out of my brain that might clog up other threads.

Everybody is welcome, as long as you're polite and strange and share all the sweeties.

I'll probably edit this in the near future, you know, put pictures of a bedroom I'll never be able to afford or fairies or emo-tastic dancing kittens or something.

But for now it's just a little space for whoever wants to post random stuff or have a chat.

...Also hi! I'm me. How's it going?
 
I was thinking about creating my own one of these on here, but for now I'll seek residence in your humble abode, if you don't mind ^^ *scrambles to corner and claims it her own*

hides the cookies

Sure, you're welcome! I just figured sometimes I'd like to post poems or bits of random stuff so somewhere like this would be pretty good!! So glad to have someone share it with me. I had cookies... somewhere... but I think I lost them...
 
Uh huh. Lost. If you don't produce them this instant, I will eat you again.

(sowwi, I'm cranky when I'm hungry :()
 
Fine, fine...

produces cookies. Toffee and pecan, if you don't mind. And some honeycomb.

Game of Thrones is tonight!!!!!

freaks out and nerdgasms with excitement
 
I know nothing of Game of Thrones, having banned Sky in my house since it began, so I won't outstay my welcome (blocks ears to shouts of '"You already have!", etc, etc). I just wanted to say that in terms of bedroom objects whose cost I cannot justify, this has always come at or near the top. It appeals to my masculine side. Though the best bedroom overall I've stayed in, due to my peculiar predilection for all things bibliophilic, is here.

<Tiptoes away, ducking the occasional cookie crumb lobbed in his general direction.>
 
It's the library suite in Blake's Hotel, London, Ms. Starry-Eyed. You can go anytime you like, though I've stayed in more reasonable rooms, certainly.
 
Also, I love that second bedroom. I bet it smells like leather and finely bound volumes.... God I would love it. There's a certain reverence in rooms like that. I adore them.

One of my most prized possessions is a 100 year old book of poetry by John Keats. I have lovely editions of works by Christina Rossetti and S.T. Coleridge too. Although I don't like to open them often because they're so old. When I do, I sit in my little study, alone, and just read. It's a very intimate experience for me.
 
Pokes head inside the door.

Room for one more? I brought ice cream. :)

You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream!

And even if there wasn't room, I'd make room for you :heart: You're a good friend and the best person I ever wrote with on here. I'm glad to know you. Now serve up that ice cream before it gets...er...warm!!
 
Sorry for my unheralded absence - a family 'crisis' now dealt with, not that it required my aid.

I agree about serving ice-cream swiftly - there is something disconcertingly greedy about merely eating a tub of cream.

And Ms. Serpentine, I am delighted to know that you share my love of old books. I am lucky enough to have a very small collection of old books myself, and they are also among my most prized possessions. There is something almost infinitely touching, too, about an inscription in fine copperplate to a child long-since dead:

'To my dearest daughter Agnes, on the occasion of her twelfth birthday, From her loving father. April 27th, 1908.'

I wonder how Agnes turned out...
 
Scoops out copious amounts of norwegian blueberry sorbet

...and thank you for that warm welcome. :)
 
May be a hot chocolate headache actually... But regardless. It's tasty and goes well with the ice cream.
 
I'm just glad I've read the books. The speed of streaming in my flat is, frankly, ludicrous. I'll have to wait for the blu-rays.
 
*Sneaks in, puts box of Somoas on the counter to avoid a cookie war between new roommates and quickly disappears.*
 
Do iiiiiit!! I'm making a mocha and a sandwich.

VALAR MORGHULIS!!

And thanks, HavinFun, for the somoas! Although you left super-sneaky, and I always like making new friends...

pouts, then eats some heads on sticks
