mayhapSo my mom skipped to the last tape of Night Train to Memphis to try to just get the ending (she always does this with paper books, when she doesn't, like, outright read them backwards) and so didn't really get a good idea of what went on and still thinks John is creepy, having apparently missed all the bits that showed him to excellent advantage. *sighs* At least she apparently didn't notice me visibly swooning over absolutely everything he did in what we did listen to.
I dunno where I got my (probably lamentable) taste in fictional men, but it evidently wasn't from her. Although I believe she is guilty of sharing my giant plebey hopeless crush on Fox Mulder.
We went shopping this evening for the sort of things one might want to take to Scotland with one, so now I have all sorts of nifty toiletries and other items. Including new red shoes. Yay.
... Cannot believe I'm leaving on Saturday. Eeep.
Am backing up everything on my computer lest something terrible have it. It is taking forever and making everything slooooooooow. But better than my dying a thousand deaths should anything happen to my preciousssss.

Date: 2004-09-17 03:10 pm (UTC)I love the Vicky and John books absolutely to bits. Probably literally to bits sometime in the near future. ;) My best friend from high school and her mom, who both have excellent taste in literature, gave me The Snake, the Crocodile and the Dog for my birthday some years ago, so I did read the Amelia books first, and they are very nice and I like Egyptology, but ... John! Vicky! Vicky and John! I love them when they're bickering and I love them when they're working together and I love them when they're quoting John Donne in bed. Love.
I have, um, also read everything else she's ever written, including her first book that she told people not to bother reading. *g* Did I mention that this was the summer after sophomore year in high school and I didn't have a lot else to do? Yeah. And I put them all in a list by year of publication and had it on my old website. Am such a dork.
