h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Can someone help me out with a little sheer terror problem I'm having?

Terror? What terror? What's happening? What's so scary? Help! What's going on? Aaaarghh!!! Somebody help me!!!
* Peregrin hides beneath a conveniently placed table*

Help is at hand, what do you need help with sweetie?

Ant, thank Bob you're here!

That's just IT I can't TELL anybody until it's all over ANYWAY. Opportunity's a-knocking and it's a lot more frightening than I would have guessed...suffice it to say I have to grow up right this second, and then I have to stay up all night and write something really clever and then send it away in the morning.

I'm not shouting! All right, I am shouting! I'm shouting I'm shouting I'm shout-



I'm doing a fantastic job at starting, aren't I?

*forming a cue*

Hiya, Katharine, what's the trouble? Not missing laundry, i hope.

Katharine, you can give me a call

And me, if you need two people telling you the same thing.

*Peregrin pops his head out from under the table*

Yes, what's the matter? Don't worry, you're among friends. As long as it's not about potatoes I'll be glad to help.

Hmmm, Kate's got to write something important, it sounds very exciting... oooo *holds breath* no wait a minute this is Kate she'll keep us hanging for ages *breathes again*

*passes out warm cider to the group*

Usually take a bit for the mystery to be explained, days even. better get your sleeping bags.

Calm down, have some coffee (are you drinking coffee again? If not, start now ) It sounds exciting and frightening. That's a combination that makes for a lot of anxiety possibly followed by great new things once you get through it.

Good luck, call (either regular or cell phone) or email if you need anything.

Time to break out the chocolate covered espresso beans, i think!

I think I'm going to consume vast quantities of cider and coffee while I'm waiting. Hopefully they'll cancel each other's effects out.

Come on Kate, I want to be helpful. That's what ACEs are for, I think.
*Peregrin hops up and down impatiently*

Warning - this one has lots of smilies see?
And sorry in advance for what I'm sure will be many typos.

It's now 4:19am my time - I've decided to take a nice e-mail/h2g2 break and found lots of (as always humorous) queries in the mailbox about my little panic attack...so I thought I'd post here, as I have to get back to work...

Thanks, first of all, for all the offers to help. Warm and fuzzy feelings as always And sorry for being vague, I didn't really think it through when I decided to panic in public...

Second - when did I get the reputation for being slow? Oh yeah, Floor 42's still half finished. Ahem. Oops.

Anyway, I'm done panicking, but it was fun while it lasted!

Okay, answers to the questions -

-No I'm not getting married (for now anyway)
-Yes, I'm back to drinking coffee. Since 4pm I've had roughly nine shots of espresso. Yum.
-No, Oliver Stone did not call me begging for a script (okay noone asked that but it's always been a dream so I thought I'd answer it anyway)
-Yes I'm stalling because I know it might be bothering Spartus
-Yes, it's a job thing
-No, I still can't really say anything else

except

-No, it's not TDV. As if! I promise that if by some miracle TDV asked me to work for them, I wouldn't get spastic about it on a TDV site, that's what the hidden f42 forums are for

Good night/morning everybody!

Love,
Kate

Ack!!! I forgot about those!

*rushes off to check address*

Oooo more mystery

No, not really Ant, I didn't mean "hidden" as much as I meant "not immediately obvious" - like the guestbook

I find it very strange that after you mention this the guestbook has gone missing...

It's funny, bits and pieces of the site keep disappearing and reappearing. I wonder if there's a really quirky hacker or whether it's a server problem or whether I'm on crack again...at any rate, I'm *not* switching servers again, I'm not I'm not!!!
