Monday Expectations

[dotinthesky]

I need a MEGASCANDAL on Livejournal to start my week. Everything has been so boring lately. Let the fighting begin.


***

My new apartment is gorgeous. Kevin and I took a few suitcases over last night filled with books and stuff. From two of the bedrooms' windows you stare directly into the canal and the barges. You can sit by the window and watch tourists board a travelling barge, or people jogging. From our bedroom (which used to be the living room), Kevin and I have the view of grey coucil skyscrappers, St George flags and a bit of green. Most important of all, nobody can stare back into our apartment. As we were sitting on the new bed our landlord bought for us (!?!) we heard the neighbours playing some reggae. Reggae drifting through the walls sounds so much better than when it's played on your stereo.

Any fights happening on Livejournal? Will I have to visitl ljdrama.org?

***

How much does it cost to get a sofa upholstered? The sofas left behind in our apartment are MINGING.

All I have to offer you is the fact someone randomly deleated me off their friends list for some unknown reason! Oh well, they shan't be missed!

Perhaps someone else will kick up a much better scandal later.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Let's go to that person's journal and start a flamewar then.

:)

[sparklielizard.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately the incident that probably provoked the mysterious deleation is one scandal that one shouldn't touch or get involved in, no matter what! Also, I am not necessarily close to either of the people involved so I could not very well feel very passionate about taking a side! Which is a shame.

Wish someone less controversial had decided to deleat me!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Tell me all about it then and I'll go there and start a mega war.

[sparklielizard.livejournal.com]

I think you'd upset people if you did! It's one of those things that only causes hurt if it's dug up. I have no idea what happened last weekend but whatever it was resulted in me randomly being taken off someone's friends list. Seeing as I've had no contact with anyone involved for some months, it's quite befuddling, to say the least! This is definitely a case for letting sleeping dogs lie though.. really!!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Ok... I guess I'll just stick to ljdrama then.

[sparklielizard.livejournal.com]

Indeed - everyone seems to be settled and happy at the moment!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Hmph!

:)

[rageundersilk.livejournal.com]

do it yourself for cheap. unless they reek. then you might have to actually reappolster them. I'd guess that'd cost a couple hundred a pop.

But even if they do reek, you could always try dumping a full bottle of febreeze on them and then making slip covers.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

i'm thinking of shampooing them and throwing an Ikea cover over them... my co-worker just told me it's quite expensive to upholster.

Indeed!

oh, and we have some burgundy sofas leftover from America which we want to get rid of :P

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Hah! Are they in good condition? :)

[purplethings.livejournal.com]

heee! Indeed they are. The only problem we have with them is that they are American sized and our living room is miniscule :(

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the offer... but what I think we'll do is throw some covers over our sofas. Also, I'm going to shampoo them and that should help.

[idioticpoet.livejournal.com]

American sized?
Does that mean they're loud and tacky too?
;)

[purplethings.livejournal.com]

heh! Nooo. We want rid of them quick because they're trying to find an excuse to sue us :D heee!

[ex-stanza602.livejournal.com]

Reupholstering can be pretty expensive, and it's really only worth it if the couch is really well made. I have a 30-year-old teak couch that I had reupholstered and it was about a grand CAD. Go with a cover for starters.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Damn.

In the old flat, I used to have this two-seater monstrosity in beige and moss-green check. I hated it and didn't feel it went with anything so I went to Camden, bought one of those funky batik throws and covered the offending sofa. The benefit of this is that they're easily removable, even more easily washed and when you move out, if you have to leave the sofa behind, any spills are mostly soaked up by the batik, so no cleaning bill or loss of deposit. ^_^

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

That's what I'm thinking too. I'm giving the sofas a good shampoo and then throwing something nice over them.

♥

I'm feeling some rage today, but for you I'm wishing good love and strength.

[thessalian.livejournal.com]

Thanks for that.

Rage is good. I like rage. If you find anything to direct rage at, let me know and I'll go on one of my more classic rants. I could use the distraction anyway. ^_^

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I was looking for fights on LJ but didn't find anything. Even this one guy on the Big Brother community failed to respond to my provocations in kind.

Best line ever.

♥

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I have a very good feeling about that apartment. It has a great vibe.

[4q.livejournal.com]

very very good then, it will be even better when I move in darling

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

We have a mattress all ready for you.

[4q.livejournal.com]

heehee that sounded dirty

♥

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

well...the mattress is quite dirty.

[4q.livejournal.com]

ew!

go forward.....move ahead

[idioticpoet.livejournal.com]

flip it!
flip it good!

Re: go forward.....move ahead

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

they are worse when you flip them.

right now there are 2 dramas i know of, one where some guy started calling a girl a hypocrite (which she is ) and fat (which i don't think she is) just to piss her off, and her attempts at trying to counteract these attacks.
the second is where this girl wrote about how she found out her ex boyfriend cheated on her with this other girl and she named the girl and then wrote something about liars and cheaters on that girls journal.
for some reason, i LOVE SEEING THIS STUFF, i think mostly cos i think these people suck and watching them get called out is funny

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Are these people on your friends' list or did you just find them randomly?

[space-blues.livejournal.com]

nah they're not on my friends list, i know who they are through other people. one girl lives in my town and the other is someone who dated a friend of mine long ago. i can't go into detail but believe me when i say they're getting their just desserts!

[theoriginalme.livejournal.com]

you just definately inadvertently paraphrased a Rancid song and for that I salute you.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Which one?

[theoriginalme.livejournal.com]

ruby soho

[roguejournal.livejournal.com]

i must find it out...and i will tell you!!!
Some fights are pretty cool to watch....

ooooh...yeah....
rating communities are good places to find fights!!!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I get too angry reading those communities. I was looking for a fight closer to home.

[roguejournal.livejournal.com]

aaaaaaaah............

so, YOU want to fight...right!?

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Meire, falei com meu irmao ontem. Ele perguntou se voce ainda pode gravar o novo album do Suede para ele?
