Kempy, killing dragons, and a new car.. (original) (raw)

Got to go back to my place very briefly to water the cactus, and take care of the mail. There was no love for me this week, as it was all junk mail. But when I got a chance to check my email just now, I found a surprise one from my friend Kempy. (one of Spoz's friends, actually)

He wanted me to have a great Christmas, and asked about the weather in Canada. (in Adelaide, it's 32°C and climbing!) I told him it was 6°C and raining in Vancouver. If he wanted to check out the weather elsewhere in Canada, he could always go to Weather Canada. I definitely appreciated the wishes, and sent some back his way. That cheered me up a little. :)

Oh, here's something kinda weird.. but in a good way!

I just got on my sister's laptop because she's out now. I've got to slay that final memory dragon of ICQ'ing on the laptop with a certain someone, after all.

While in the process of cleaning up my ICQ list, I found it weird that I'd have a message from Spoz waiting. It said: "wotcha doin' hiding there?" and was dated July 27. Since that was a Sunday, I was most likely at church at 11:57 AM. Yes, I replied to that message just now. :D

There's probably a reason why I was on the laptop then, and it probably involved talking to the ex-friend, Corey, or Spoz. Very unexpected stuff, at any rate. It was a nice surprise bonus to my day!

Now, I'm off to talk to Corey about "stabwound therapy." (his turn of phrase for the acupuncture / acupressure torture sessions) Yes, I *was* going to message him anyhow.. but that was before I got the "killing dragons" idea. ;)

Oh yes, I should add that our family's bought a new car. Well, it's not exactly new.. but we're sort of in a bind. Uncle William (the mechanic) knows the car and the owner quite well, so it'll be all right.. I certainly hope! Two cars again.. woohoo!
