RJR the living proof

*wonders if Derek really has an orange toothbrush*

Thanks for answering the quiz questions. Leo will be so pleased. (I'm trying to stay on her good side so she'll mail me imported cheese from one of those fancy NY delis. It's tough finding good cheese in the Ozarks.)

*between unexpected internet problems (namely her sister needing to use the computer) and a general feeling of groggyness, Peace's conciousness seems to have drifted away from the party and into realms unknown even to itself.*

*Shaking her head she arrives back in 'reality' and joins broelan in admiring Amy's outfit.*

Yes, I never knew a paper person could dress so elegantly.

It was wonderful to learn a bit about the Italics. And of course a bit more about RJR.

I must leave shortly, but will return from time to time to see how things are progressing.

Thank you for the delicious tea and Madelaines, Sis. They were wonderful, as usual.

*rooles in another barrel of squibs*

well due to the success of the last barrel of squibs, these should provide a bit of a surprise *MUAWAWWAWWAWWAWAWAWWWAW!*

*gets down off the table and attempts to hunt down a grumpy London Cab driver, and a glass of alcohol

*Rushes in from that evil place where you can't get onto Hootoo*

Have I missed it? Is there ? Were there Italics?

*approaches the band with a request*

Can you play Rock of Ages?
No, not the hymn one.

Sorry, it was starting to get a bit quiet.

*jiggles her bum to the music*

* in search of *

Well, the footy match has started, I might need one or several...

Ooh we've just scored. Good one, Mr Mpenza

I'm thinking of starting a round robin croquet/cricket match on the lawn - any takers?

*returns and retrieves cream teas from behind potted plant*

*eats one as fast as is dignified, then offers them round*

Cream teas? Anyone? Matt, you'll take one, won't you? I don't want to be the only person feeling ill in the middle of this round robin. Eating and sport don't mix, you know.

Oh I'll have on thanks Elentari...I don't know about feeling sick, I'm more worried about hitting the ball. Criket lessons at school were not fun, and I must confess I've never played croquet before...

*peers out of Alabaster House after a long nap*

I wonder what scheme the Prez is cooking up now... Probably trying to get an italic to knight her or give her a President Badge. Not a bad idea actually. I might get a Veep badge, or at least Hyp's Prez badge after the inevitable coup.

Ah, croquet, that's the ticket, what? Will we be going for a punt on the river soon?

I see the VP's still as devious as ever. And still hasn't had a bath. It's nice to know that there are some things you can count on.

So, Jodan, have you been eating your vegetables?

*thought she saw a curtan move in a window on the House*

Must've been the cat.

Btw, did anybody pay attention to what Leo did all day? She's good at this, you know:
A16303808 Sneaking Food

B'El! Are you suggesting she doggy bags??? I don't blame her if she did, I may have one or two stashed away

For anyone interested (and there won't be, but what the hoo ) We won Might get some silverware yet!!!*

For any non-british/sports fans this is what I'm talking about (I was never very good at small-talk at parties )
