Happy Gorilla Suit Day?

[livejournal.com profile] lina_lau is coming down to London! ;_; ♥!

To anyone thinking about changing ISP: as far as I've experienced, ID-Net is good. I've had no problems with my line so far and their customer service is very nice. Namesco, also, has great customer service. I tried ordering from them (because ID-net's website got stuck and I didn't know my order with them was okay), they called me and explained to me I already had another line and so they had to cancel my order and make a refund. When I had to call them to check that the free modem has been returned to them, the call was picked up after 2 rings! And the lady I talked to was also very nice. So, I think Namesco should be nice too (at least in terms of customer service). The main thing Namesco has over ID-Net is the free installation, but whatever, if you have a migration code it doesn't matter anyway.

Looking at the hitman!Yagyuu picture again, I think maybe it's the wrong type of gun he's using. It looks more like, I don't know, what they use in wars. Oh well. *shrug* XD My knowledge on firearms = 0 and what I read up for fic-writing purposes (which I didn't use) = totally forgotten!

[livejournal.com profile] brainbreaker: the writer's haiku. Word, Omi.

From [livejournal.com profile] reposoir: RikkaiMyu art! Makes me want to squee~ brings back the memories!

I want to draw D1. I also want to look at pretty D1 pictures. I want to read happy D1 fics. GIMME.

[edit] omg I got taxed and NI-ed £573 this month. *SOB*

I would oblige with the art but my drawing of actual people = stick-figures. Not even entertaining stick-figures. ;) But seeing your Yagyuu art made me so very happy. ♥ There should be happy D1 fic... I've been doing my best...! I'm actually feeling like it might be worth trying to write today given that I am infinitely less stressed than I have been for the last... er. Long time. I'll try. And if it sucks I will just stop rather than beating myself up over it. XD

XD! But I love stick figures! They're great for telling mini-stories XDDDD

I'm thinking about writing YamatoZuka today, during work. :3 I blame [livejournal.com profile] burnein and [livejournal.com profile] tashigi for their fics and art. Actually, by writing, I don't think I really mean writing writing... um erm, it's more like "talking random crack, but typed into words"? It'll do my brain good.

Well, hopefully the weekend will be de-stressing, too!

........*thinks about holding a PoT stick figure fanart competition*

Crack is good for you! Or something. XD;

Yeah, hopefully! :D

XD!!!!!! That would be priceless.

If not de-stressing, at least it's guaranteed to have moments of *sinks into the sofa and declares we have no energy to move at all* XD!

I've been watching your experience with ID-Net before making the leap!

The real pain with tax and NI sets in when you realise the government gets more of your pay rises than you do.

[identity profile] yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com 2007-01-31 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
The downside about ID-Net is that they do have download limits. But for my level of use, the "£24.99 for 30GB a month" package works well for me. And going over is £1/GB which isn't too much.

*puts payslip away and never wants to look at it again*

XD The 60GB package maybe? If you can migrate to IDNet... this LLU thing is so complicated.

[identity profile] strawberryjoy.livejournal.com 2007-01-31 11:24 am (UTC)(link)
I usually go for the biggest package offered but am tempted to downgrade to 2mbps on the basis that it's all I'm really getting anyway. Damn Welsh telecomms infrastructure.

[identity profile] yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com 2007-01-31 11:26 am (UTC)(link)
If you sign up with a ISP that does 1-month contracts, then you could change your package if you find it doesn't suit you, perhaps?

[identity profile] strawberryjoy.livejournal.com 2007-01-31 11:31 am (UTC)(link)
Not sure, realistically, how much choice there is up here. Wales' broadband provision is generally slower than the rest of the UK's and there are fewer suppliers in the market.

I just happen to know.^^

I think you'd probably have to be very good friends with BT!

Although if really curious: http://www.broadband.wales.gov.uk/

I write wangsty and long D1 with Yagyuu being a douchebag and Niou having teenage meltdowns. Alas.

[identity profile] yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com 2007-01-31 11:08 am (UTC)(link)
I write D1 in the "I think I want you but I'm not sure omg UST" sort of setting. T_T I love the long and wangsty kind (♥!) but, current mood demands happy fics, woe.

YAY!

When will you be in London?

[identity profile] lina-lau.livejournal.com 2007-01-31 11:27 am (UTC)(link)
I'm coming back probably Friday afternoonish but I've got to have dinner with a friend that night. D:

[identity profile] yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com 2007-01-31 11:28 am (UTC)(link)
Okay~

[livejournal.com profile] giving_ground, [livejournal.com profile] elyndys and I should be dim-summing at around 1:30, does that sound good?

[identity profile] lina-lau.livejournal.com 2007-01-31 11:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. :DDDDDDDD Dim summmmmmmm. God I miss Chinese food.
