Felling Great Emily

Before my smiley - brokenheart was discovered - I thought I was suffering from a recurring virus.

After having the angiogram procedure, I was feeling so good you could have scraped me off the ceiling. Floating on cloud nine - there's an idea for a new smiley -

I am back down to earth now, and think I should have some early nights. Back to work on a part time basis (semi-retirement). I think I have had too many late nights on h2g2 and curbing back a bit may be wise.

Have a new hobby

Early morning walks - the hospital like you to exercise and get your smiley - love rate up to a 100 BPM or more.

>BB> and <BB< going every which way - glad to hear the bad news smiley - magic - love it :-;

And Pastey, hootoo's fountain of knowledge, glad you are still keeping me on a tight lead smiley - ok

smiley - cheers

If a kangaroo thinks its a bull, would it stay friendly for long? Bulls aren't generally known for their social skills.

And why don't we have a smiley?

Get the imagination juices going.

A kangaroo with horns - bouncing around and getting his head stuck in the ceiling.

Mmmm, perhaps that is not me, unless you know differently.

A bucking kangaroo smiley - boingsmiley - boingsmiley - winkeye

smiley - run

bluebottle, I think he's trying to be a bull, but doesn't like the idea of accidentally slipping back into his kangaroo mindset and bouncing on broken china smiley - winkeye

I think we should campaign for a smiley, it would be as logical mascot as deviantArt's :llama:

Said Llama gets progressively fancier depending on how many people love you enough to give you one as a gift...mine is a Super Llama, he has a cape, but is not yet albino, at which point he loses the cape for a while. After a brief stint as a Ninja, he becomes Fancy (he looks quite the dandy in his top hat), then conquer the other llamas and becomes King, but that's not enough for a llama, he then concurs the Spartans, but gets bored and becomes a Wizard. I think he attempts alchemy after that, because he becomes turns to gold. His career options haven't become apparent after turning to gold...deviantArt is perhaps more surreal than hootoo in this sitation smiley - erm

dA (always typed thus) stands for deviantArt Veg and in case you're still none the wiser, deviantArt is an online community much like h2g2, but for art smiley - smiley Your space is a gallery smiley - smiley So I have lots of the photos I've take, some of my better drawings and my jewellery. Not that I've posted there for a while smiley - erm much like h2g2 I seem to be on a prolonged hiatus! dA is also the reason I from time to time type smilies like this - :doh: instead of smiley - doh

And you're right, Aces are lovely, I liked being an ACE those many moons ago, but between that and sub-editing etc it took up a lot of time. One day I'll think about asking for my badge back smiley - blush

smiley - cheerup
