Air-conditioning and wishing wells

[squirmelia]

It was 10:38 in Sao Paulo, but she was in Chandlers Ford. She'd look upwards, over her monitor, and see a bin or maybe a bucket on top of a cupboard. There was condensation on the air conditioning unit, apparently, and the roof tile was off, displaying pieces of metal and a few pipes. The bin/bucket was blue and billowing with plastic, and she could see the word "well" on a sticker on the side. She wondered if it was a wishing well. The lights went dim, she wasn't moving enough to keep them on. At one point she climbed on the desk and looked in the wishing well, and it looked like most disused wells do, stale water, bits of rubbish floating inside. She started wishing anyway, of course, frantically wishing.

When you have a fan club, I am joining it.

Many years ago, a friend created this frightening page:

But hey, it was he that altered the picture of me that I am currently using in my LJ!

Hmmm. When you have a fan club that I am absolutely sure does not require a joining fee of one or more limbs (even if I get them back in a brass frame with my own certificate)... then I shall join. :)
