Add away, mind if i add you back? You seem pretty damn awesome. We also share Office and Alias love! Jim/Pam are the OTP currently eating my brain.

Thanks :) I was going to change it the other night, but one of my friends talked me out of it ;) Probably a good thing, seeing as i have two weeks worth of uni reading sitting next to me. *headdesk*

[starlite-diner.livejournal.com]

Of course, add me back! :D And..awwww thanks. :D And we share Alias and Jim/Pam love? ...awesome. I so heart Jim/Pam. *sigh*

And I'm glad your friend talked you out of changing your header....it's so striking. :D I live about 25 mins away from the city of Chicago [and go up to the city all the time since was I little] and so it's so awesome to know that they filmed the show pretty much right by where I live in season one. :D

And awww man, good luck with the reading...I hate school. I'm in summer school right now and just kill me now, lol.

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

Yay :) I'm on such an Office kick at the moment, i'm SO psyched for S4! Jim/Pam! Eeee! *bounces*

Aww, thanks. You live near Chicago? *insane jealousy* I cannot wait to visit there.

The reading is ... not going well. I read my ethics notes on the way to uni today. Oops. I keep meaning to study, and then i keep falling asleep. I need more coffee, obviously ;) Ugh, summer school is the worst. I might have to take chemistry over summer this year - NOT impressed.

[reality-escapee.livejournal.com]

I hope it´s okay that I friend you and feel free to friend me back. I read your bio thingy and I felt like I could relate to it. You sound like an interesting person to get to know :)

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

Hi! Thanks for adding me. I've added you back :)

Your friends-only banner is just the cutest thing ever ;)

[wok-wyle.livejournal.com]

hello *waves shyly*

Well I was directed over to your LJ by someone on my flist, to read a post you had made, but woe is me it looks like it's a private post along with the rest of your LJ

Anywho, I read your 'user info' and thought you sound really cool. We seem similar ;) so... add me? I'll be adding you =)

babye

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

*waves back*

Doh. That was smart of me ;)

Sure! Added you :)

[wok-wyle.livejournal.com]

did you forget me? =( cos I can't access the rest of your LJ

hope your Friday is goin well =)

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

*facepalm* Forgive my stupidity. I was sure i added you ... but then maybe i opened the window and got distracted by something shiny.

Anyhow, added now :)

My Friday was pretty random, but not altogether unpleasant. I hope yours is going well!

[breton-frog.livejournal.com]

Hi ! My name's Claire and I randomly found you through Cec' (cecism)'s journal ! I'd really like to add you if you don't mind, because you seem like a very interesting girl ! We basically have the same fandoms AND you're a photographer, and I like photos !

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

Hey! Sorry, i've been on a little uni-induced hiatus so i didn't see your post. *adds you* Any friend of cecism's is a friend of mine :)

♥

[breton-frog.livejournal.com]

don't worry, it's okay ! Thanks for adding me, I'm ading you back right now ! Can't wait to get to know you !

[aboutbefore.livejournal.com]

hey, we seem to have a lot of the same taste in tv shows. friend?

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

Omg. You wrote 'Delicate'. You wrote 'Precipitation'! I am a shameful chronic fic-non-commenter, and i will attempt to make up for that by ... showering you in cookies, or something. Or i could just retroactively tell you that i absolutely LOVE your writing. That would be less messy. Also, your icon is awesome (as are your userinfo pic and your header, but woe *depressed*).

Anyhow, yay! *adds you* :)

[aboutbefore.livejournal.com]

heeeey, thanks! i found your journal because (being the good icon whore that i am) i was looking through some friends icons and found that a lot of them were using yours, and they're excellent.

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

*falls down* Thanks! I have sporadic success with icon making ;) Right now i'm making a moodtheme, and it's almost driving me insane.

[utterblissikins.livejournal.com]

Hi!

So, we have quite a few things in common...we both love The Office (I love that show so much it hurts), The West Wing, 30 Rock, Weeds, Scrubs...

And I also have an almost nonexistant social life. I have friends, but they pretty much have to drag me out of the house. Socialising...erg.

So there's that :)

You seem pretty awesome - and I promise I'm not a complete loser. So...friends?

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

Hi!

I've been so busy with uni craziness, and Pushing Daisies, and being forced to watch Gossip Girl and other random things, that i haven't watched the office in like, a week. *SHAAAAME* I'm going to go watch it now. (Casino Night, because it's rainy and i'm feeling mopey and thus am in need of some old-school Jim/Pam ;)

Yay for the non-social life! I tried it, it wasn't for me, or ... it was, at the time, and now i just feel like i'm 20 years too old for all that shit. My zimmer-frame is arriving next week.

Your userinfo - i just want to hug it. I have no discernable skills. Ftw. And hi, I'm obsessed with America (and American politics), and despite the fact that I have no idea what I want to do with my life anymore, I at least have this one goal: to move to Boston. Marry me? Seriously. Though i'm also open to California or Chicago (or Halifax, because it's pretty there and the Canadians are friendly). You know, keeping my hypothetical options open, and all.

Definitely friends :)

[utterblissikins.livejournal.com]

Erm...so this is kind of weird. One second LJ says I'm your friend and then it takes it back. Don't know what's going on there :S

Anyway, I added you! Yay!

I'm watching Pushing Daisies these holidays - I haven't had time up til now, but I'm so excited! I just know I'll love it.

Casino Night breaks my heart with its absolute perfectness. Damn, now I want to watch it. But I'm too tired :( OK, now it sounds like I'm the one who needs a zimmer-frame.

I'm not good with warm climates, but I'm so up for Chicago. Or Seattle. Or Portland. Or anywhere, really, that isn't Canberra.

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

Asdfjsbf. Fucking lj! I'm so sick of all this crap! (Also, i want my email notifications back, kthnkx.)

It's telling me that you're still on my flist, so. I don't know how to fix that. I'll try removing you and then adding you again, and see if that works. *fingers crossed*

Pushing Daisies is probably my favourite show in a long long time. I mean, i love the Office, i do, but there's just something ... different about PD. And the last ep of the (teeny tiny) season is on this week, i think. *sniff*

Even with all the fabulous new 'shippy eps this season, Casino Night is still my favourite. Hands down.

Well, maybe we can have a summer house in California then ;) Ooooh, Seattle. Yeah, can't say i'm the biggest fan of Canberra - i think it's a cool place to visit, especially with kids, cause there's lots of stuff to do, but i think living there would probably drive me nuts.

[utterblissikins.livejournal.com]

Why is LJ so cruel? *Cries*

You're still not showing up as a mutual friend :( This sucks.

ITA, Casino Night = ♥. The Jam poker scene... I could watch that a billion times. They're so adorable it hurts sometimes. Not that I haven't been squeeing my way through the season 4 episodes.

You've got Canberra down. I ran out of stuff to do here in the second grade. I don't know how many excursions I went on to Parliament House. Floriade's basically the same every year. Nothing EVER happens.

If we have a summer house in California, we have to have a cabin in Aspen ;) I always wanted to learn how to ski.

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

Did it work? Did it work?? I hope it worked. *fingers crossed*

Sorry it took me so long to (hopefully) fix it, i LOST THE INTERNET FOR TWO DAYS. *flails like a pathetic idiot*

I did, however, find a neat pair of Big Bird-feet slippers down there for only $15. Can't beat that.

Oh well, you know, if you're going to twist my arm about it ;) I've never been a big skier. We'll have to put an ice rink in the backyard. *nods*

[utterblissikins.livejournal.com]

IT WORKED!!! *high five*

We can have the ice rink, although I'd probably never use it as I'm the worst ice skater in the history of ice skating. It takes me an hour to get once around the rink. But I could at least brag about having an ice rink...way cooler than a pool.

Thinking about it now...if I'm that bad at ice skating, I must be at least as bad at skiing. DAMN! :D

Ooh, I've watched the first 3 eps of Pushing Daisies!! ♥ The most adorable thing I've ever seen. I think I might be using your Ned/Chuck moodtheme soon... :D

[bertiebob.livejournal.com]

YAAAAYFTW!! *high five*

Sweet. See, you shouldn't have said that, cause now when i come to Canberra (which i will be doing at some point next year) i'm totally going to kidnap you and make you go skating with me :P You do have a rink there, right? I'm sure you do. Ahaha - definitely cooler than a pool.

Huh. Good point. We could find us some sexy manly ski instructors though. It could be good times.

Yay!!! I FINALLY got 1x09, after three days of INTERNET/SIBLINGHATE. And omg. It is officially the best show ever. Ever. Hands down, bar none. *clings*

[utterblissikins.livejournal.com]

HA, but if you don't know where the rink is you can't take me there!! And I'm not telling you! *ties self to chair*

OK, there's the Yellow Pages...and I'm pretty sure we only have one crappy ice rink, so it wouldn't be too hard to find. Damn.

Sexy manly ski instructors with sexy manly accents. Hmmm...worth breaking a few bones, I think :D

If I could hug a TV show, it would be PD. So glad I decided to watch it!! Now I have to catch up with Gossip Girl. I thought about getting into Chuck - but there must be a point where you watch so much it's bad for your health...
