Platypi

[cosmolinguist]

Jenn and I spent an incredible amount of time in cars this weekend. Which of course means we were talking a lot, but it also means we were not talking a lot.

And once, after about five minutes of silence, she announced, "If you marry someone from Britain, I'm going to have to hate you!"

paninogirl thinks this should be because of the sweet nothings being whispered in a cool accent, but I think evil_grapefruit's reason was something about the ease of getting citizenship in the UK.

Colin Firth is so frickin' dreamy...

...I totally stand by my declaration that I'd make out with him. I don't care that he's 43. He'll have a lot to teach me...

...and maybe I could teach him a thing or two. :)

(I'm going to have sex-related dreams now, I just know it.)

I want him to be my papa... in the totally non dirty sense... I swear!

Holly told me you said that, after seeing What a Girl Wants. I'd rather make out with him than have him be my father. :)

[evil-grapefruit.livejournal.com]

Awww... but he is so adorable... I want to be adorable like that!

Jenn

[paninogirl.livejournal.com]

I do too. :) But not because I share his genes. :)

[evil-grapefruit.livejournal.com]

I would share his genes... most definitly!

Damn you I will just have to get myself a sexy british boy in a band like you have!

[cosmolinguist]

I don't have him. He's not mine.

[evil-grapefruit.livejournal.com]

He totally is! Don't lie to yourself... now allI have to do is get my hands on that Mike character and all would be good!

If she's lying to herself she's doing a damn good job, because she's convinced me, too.

I promise you, if we *were* dating, you'd be the first to know...

[cosmolinguist]

You know, that's a good point. Whether I wanted her to or not, I am sure Jenn would know first. :-)

[evil-grapefruit.livejournal.com]

I suppose that I would be the first to know, maybe even before you!

Jenn

Who is this sexy british boy in a band she has? I'm all jealous now...

[cosmolinguist]

What, you want one too?

[stealthmunchkin.livejournal.com]

No, but I wouldn't mind *being* one...

Ladies, ladies... While I may not be currently in a band (although I DID audition for Canadian Idol... does that count?) I do have somewhat of a british accent.

And there's plenty of me to go around....

[evil-grapefruit.livejournal.com]

I don't know if Canadian Idol counts. You have a british accent eh?

I spent some years living as a Londoner.

[evil-grapefruit.livejournal.com]

Woot woot, but really I am mostly going for the citizenship!

Jenn

[angel-thane.livejournal.com]

No difference anymore between a British citizen and any other Western European citizen.

[evil-grapefruit.livejournal.com]

Well then it doesnt matter here I come Europe!

[stealthmunchkin.livejournal.com]

London isn't really part of Britain - the rest of us disowned that stinking cess-pit many years ago

[angel-thane.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I was SOUTH of the Thames. ;)

[stealthmunchkin.livejournal.com]

You're only making it worse for yourself ;)

- Northerner and proud of it

Why would anyone want to become a Brit citizen??? Why, why, why? Become a Parisian, cafes, great food, fine wine...what's London have to caompare to that?

And because you're a Linux fan:

My roommate is a Francophile who's often extolling the virtues of France and its food. But England has the virtue of using a language I speak. And I do indeed know some interesting people who live there. :-)

And the badger thing is just cool.
