Does anyone else worry that all the people who have you friended have long ago filtered you off their reading list, because your posts were dull and repetitive? Just me, then.

But for those of you who do still read this journal, especially those of you weren't reading it last summer, I'm about to head to Oxford until mid-August. Internet access there may be sporadic; I can usually get about an hour a day most weekdays, but anything beyond that will depend on the library situation. In other words, I'm likely to be behind on my friends list from now until August. Have fun, and if you need to get my attention, leave a note here.

But your posts *aren't* dull and repetitive! So, I don't think you have anything to worry about ;)

Have lots of summer fun . . .

[vaznetti]

Oh, I always have some kind of paranoia going. And thanks!

Pretty much, yes. Yay, paranoia!

Wishing you safe travel and a good summer.

See I just KNOW this is the case. Why worry?

I don't exist on the internet to entertain people. I'm mostly here to talk to my friends about their lives. I guess maybe you have to, you know, EVER write interesting posts about fan stuff or tv shows or books to get people who are reading you because you're interesting. Seeing I never do that, I have no pressure.

You should all join me in my slothful ways!

Yup. Have a good summer!

[vaznetti]

Thanks! And I can assure that in your case, at least, it's all irrational paranoia.

[coffeeandink.livejournal.com]

Thank you. The same is true of you, you know.

I think I never told you how interesting I found the post on Cylon religion, although I will be very surprised if BSG actually takes any kind of accurate view of Classical religion.

[vaznetti]

The authoritarian in me sometimes wishes that writers and producers who insist on using classical religion could be forced to do so in an informed manner -- it's a shame, because it could have made for an interesting contrast (although how it would fit into the "Colonies = modern America" thing is a bit of a mystery).

[darcydodo]

Oh, not just you. :)

I'm jealous of you being in Oxford. I think I won't make it over this summer. :(

[reginaspina.livejournal.com]

Heh! I am paranoid about some things but not about that; and you aren't remotely boring, so don't worry :)

Have a wonderful summer in Oxford (I picture you punting and being rowed places by boys in boaters - but that's because I have too much "Brideshead Revisited" on the brain ;)) I'm sure you're going to be working in a library, but still ...) Enjoy!

[vaznetti]

Alas, my life in Oxford is much more prosaic than you imagine. It involves crowded busses, lines at the supermarket, and as you guessed, some serious library time.

[k2daisy.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, who are you again? How did you get on my flist??

Have a lovely time in Oxford with BH, please hug cassandre and little Charlie for me if you see them, and please come back online and let us know if you see any pelicans on this trip!! (I figure if you spot a pelican in Oxford, it will be newsworthy indeed. *g*)

:::hugs::: Have a great summer!

[vaznetti]

::mutters to herself:: Kristen? do I know a Kristen?

I rather doubt we'll see any pelicans, but if the egrets and peahens come back, I'll try to mention it.

[aceofkittens.livejournal.com]

Like I don't know you've long since stopped reading my LJ!

[k2daisy.livejournal.com]

Oh, pffft, I read all of your posts -- from both journals! :)

But I fear replying sometimes, because what if my complete job unhappiness rubs up too hard against your complete job unhappiness? We could start sending off dangerous sparks from the mutual hating friction and then BOOM!! Little bits o' combusted AoK and K2 would rain down on our respective offices.

It wouldn't be pretty. Plus, we'd both be blown to bits. And while death by combustion would mean we would be free from our horrible jobs, we'd also be, ya know, dead. *g*

[aceofkittens.livejournal.com]

You are all too logical. But maybe our offices would also catch on fire. I recently fantasized about that, actually. I am in a bad, bad place. :) As long as I don't actually bring matches to work...

[darcydodo]

Of course she'll see pelicans, at least if she goes by Corpus. *points at icon*

[vaznetti]

::smacks head:: How could I have forgotten that? It's not like I didn't go to a seminar in Corpus once a week for my whole time in Oxford, or anything.

[monanotlisa.livejournal.com]

Just me, then.

Hardly. *g*

And have fun in Oxford! If you ever feel the need to visit the continent, take a RyanAir plane and meet me-- I'll find a way to pick you up and show you around. & :-)

[vaznetti]

I'm glad to know I'm not the only paranoid one, then.

And you know, the long-weekend-in-Berlin plan has not yet been ruled out for the summer -- we have friends there who we really ought to visit. (It occurs to me that I don't actually know where you are, and that Germany is pretty big -- but on the principle that in European countries it's usually easier to get to the capital than anywhere else...)

[se-parsons.livejournal.com]

Have a good summer in Oxford!

Do try to keep us posted on how you are.

You are not filtered off my reading list, btw.

[vaznetti]

I'll probably post morethan I read, sadly -- in Oxford I do stuff, and thus have something to write about.

[autobadgirl.livejournal.com]

Have an awesome summer in Oxford. (and this may bejust me but that sounds *so* highschool yearbook)

[vaznetti]

Thanks (and yes, very H.S. "Have a great summer! See you in September!")

[aceofkittens.livejournal.com]

I will pine for you dreadfully. I'll send you long whingy emails. Do I dare to eat a peach?

I already miss you.

[vaznetti]

If I tried wearing white linen trousers and walking along the beach today, I'd end up in the hospital with hypothermia. You might be more lucky.

I will respond to your long whingy emails! Really!

[midnightsjane.livejournal.com]

I just friended you a little while ago, and you haven't bored me yet! I added you to my flist because I found a discussion you were having about the Aeneid and Virgil, and I was fascinated.
I keep my LJ as a place to talk about what's happening in my life, and to expose myself to interesting people like you. Not so much interested in trying to entertain the masses.
Hope you have a wonderful, stimulating summer. Ahh, Oxford. I remember visiting Oxford and being somewhat awed by it. The pubs were nice too!

[ms-pie.livejournal.com]

Have a wonderful time in Oxford! I'll look forward to your updates -- whenever you get to them :)

[bardsmaid.livejournal.com]

Have a great time. I'm so glad you're finally getting some time with your hubby. Hope you get more than gray weather, too.

[chriswife.livejournal.com]

Have a wonderful time with the BH!

[spican.livejournal.com]

In one word, YES. :)

Hope you have a good journey and a great summer in Oxford -- do let us know what you're up to, when you can. (I swear one summer I'll make a weekend flight to London and get you and Muridae drunk and silly ...)

!

[malograntum.livejournal.com]

I will be in Oxford in mid-August!

Re: !

[vaznetti]

!!!!! Sadly, we're leaving the 15th -- any chance of catching you?

Re: !

[malograntum.livejournal.com]

We (my dad and I) will definitely be there by the 12th! We must have lunch or something.

The universe finds the funniest ways for us to run into each other.

[fourteenlines.livejournal.com]

Not just you. Considering maybe 20% of the people who have me friended EVER comment, I've always kind of assumed been afraid assumed that's the way it is. *g*

[fourteenlines.livejournal.com]

Oh, and, have a LOVELY time in Oxford.

[muridae-x.livejournal.com]

I have my paranoid days when I post several messages in a row without replies. Then I write something that people have something to say about, and I tell myself to stop being so silly.

Of course, if I posted more often, the silent times would be shorter. :-)

I hope that you have a great summer with the B.H. in Oxford and elsewhere!

[tir.livejournal.com]

Nope, not just you, as you've no doubt seen by now. :)

Travel safely!

[cassandre.livejournal.com]

Yay! Hope to see you soon!

[vaznetti]

I'm here, and as usual don't haveyour phone number -- I think I do have M's cell-phone number, though, so I'll call him to get your home number -- maybe at the weekend!

[deslea.livejournal.com]

*raises hand*

I read! Just, y'know, belatedly. :)

RATales stuff

[rhi]

if you need to get my attention, leave a note here.

This just came through on RATales yesterday:

Hey guys,

Surprisingly we've had 2 new members join in the past few days
(welcome, devotees of the rat-tabulous Alex) and I was wondering if it
were possible to update the YahooGroups information on the YahooGroups
homepage, where it describes what our list is about. I know Kelly Keil
and Vanzetti are ListMoms, but according to the members list Kelly's e-
mail is bouncing. Vanzetti, you still out there? I wouldn't mind
volunteering to help Mod, at least to update the YahooGroups info.

Somebody write me.

Adieu
RhymePhile
(rhymephile@hotmail.com)

Just an FYI.

Re: RATales stuff

[vaznetti]

Thanks for the heads up and for the answer you gave on the list -- I do get mail from RATales, but naturally this came through while I was off line for a couple days!

Re: RATales stuff

[rhi]

No problem. ::g:: I suspected Murphy might have struck.
