Well, actually it doesn't, right now. Nevertheless, it was recently and it doubtless will be again soon.

I've spent the afternoon pleasantly drafting some very rude pleadings. Probably too rude actually, I shall leave them overnight and probably tone them down in the morning. It's quite possible they still show the signs of the original half-draft which was made, in breach of my stated intentions, yesterday evening while mildly under the influence of some New Cheap Booze I discovered (sort of Greek port, 4.99 a bottle can't be wrong). Contrary to the impression I sometimes fear I give, I do try and be professional (and if anyone's ever wondered, if I seem to be saying things I Ought Not here the chances are I've sufficiently edited and fictionalised the true state of affairs), and one of my rules is that unless a matter is Screaming Urgent I leave things overnight and redraft them in the cold light of morning. Someone I know, of some years seniority to me, made the mistake once of sending out pleadings drafted after a long and liquid lunch... his application to amend, made, of course, at his personal expense (one suspects he didn't want BMIF involved) was not an easy one to present I believe.

I also wrote a chapter of New Thing yesterday: that too will probably need revision.

Was supposed, on her invitation, to be going for a drink with The Girl Upstairs (who has indeed dumped boyfriend), but it didn't happen. Ho hum. Watch this space. Or not, as the case may be.

As a single male who has spent any amount of time in my presence (yep, a couple drinks'll do it), the chances are VERY high that things will work out quite nicely with The Girl Upstairs.

You're welcome.

Sincerely,

Kirsten, the World's RomanceGoodLuckCharm

Good luck with The Girl Upstairs. Why didn't it happen ? Poor Marcus. It does sound promising ! And you Kirsten ! Also er, good luck. Lalalala. Perhaps some of the lucky charmness might wear off on you ?

(excuse me, Marcus, as we chat in your journal ...)

Oh, honey. I just had the bestest job interview EVER. If I were to require luck, this would be the best time to get it. Forget all that other nonsense ... a good job would make everything in the world good.

Also, let's get together again. Wanna?

(therein ends the aforementioned chatting. Marcus, as you were.)

Good luck (again). Also, yes, would like to get together agin. When/where etc - only I am doing lots of revision now so feel guilty.

No word as of yet. Sending a 'goodness, it was lovely to meet everyone and please please please won't you let me come play with you again' note today.

And maybe the end of next week? This weekend is gonna be sleep/workfilled, I think ...

Oh good idea - the note I mean. End of next week sounds great - I'll be bored to death of revision by then.

Is this the Girl Upsstairs who locked herself out of her flat the other day?
From: [identity profile] fiona-janet.livejournal.com
shame, shame! I hope that there is nothing to tell us soon then :) are you going to see her for another drink?
From: [identity profile] fairymelusine.livejournal.com
Come on. Living vicariously thru other people is what keeps LJ going, dear.
From: [identity profile] dr-lovely.livejournal.com
Indeed. Maybe you should go out with her again ?
