hopefully amusing

Another short one, I'm afraid. ^.o

And a random bit of useless, but interesting information, 'on the ground' in my area. ^___^

One of our local high schools (frequently known affectionately as "cowpie high" since it was built of the site of a former dairy) has just been closed for two weeks in an effort to disrupt the transmission cycle of the H1N1/2009 flu. I'm starting to think that my city could actually be run by some pragmatists. O.o Wow. I hope it works. Another interesting possibility is that people born before 1957 could possibly have a bit of immunity to the current flu, as it is a variant of an older strain that mutated back in the day. Being a *very* old dragon, this makes me smile. Sounds like a case of 'old age and treachery trumping youth and enthusiasm'.

Seriously; do eat, rest and stay healthy, so that whatever virus you come across is powerless against your immune-fu. ^___^

BTW, more recent tracing of the initial cases of the current flu indicate that it started in California, and was taken to Mexico from whence it spread. ^___^ Y'all be sure and avoid those Californians now; hear?

*giggle*






Zuma showed up at my door about 0900 with his book, a twelve-pack of soda and a pout. It’s not unusual; we’ve done this now and then, just sharing space so that neither of us is alone. He says my room is “cozy” which I think is Elfish code for “messy as hell”, but he seems to be okay with it. It’s all yarn anyway. Once I learned to knit, the yarn just started accumulating… like magic. Ha-ha.

He blinked at me oddly when I opened the door, and it took me a moment to remember that I’d gotten my hair cut – only two days ago! – and hadn’t mentioned it when I talked to him yesterday. He walked around me, looking me up and down thoroughly, before saying, “That looks great. Not so much work now?”

“Not so much work,” I agreed with a grin.

“You know, Wufei will fall over when he notices. He worships your hair.”

It had not even entered my mind that anyone else would notice – or care – what I did with my hair. Q hadn’t said a word, but maybe he hadn’t seen it. I don’t recall turning my back on him during the fire call. Well. That could make for an interesting morning tomorrow.

I snorted. “I don’t think he cares diddly about my hair, just that he isn’t the one canoodling with it.”

“Oh, that too,” he agreed rather wistfully.

It’s been explained to me more than once that every male in the office – including Esteban – has some weird fascination with me. I think it’s bullshit, but I acknowledge the possibility. After all, I didn’t even realize that Wufei and Trowa were hitting on me when I first got here. Clueless, that’s me. As long as it amuses my friends, what the hell, y’know.

Everyone is going to comment on Duo's hair the second they realize what he's done. You betcha. Great bit.

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. He may have forgotten in all the excitement, but no one is going to miss that. ^____^

[(Anonymous)]

Oh of COOOOURSE no one will notice your hair, Duo! Why would they? *she says sarcastically*. Silly banshee. Poor Wufei is going to have convulsions.

Thanks so much for explaining the connection between Duo and Zuma. They're almost like brothers, aren't they?

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

And Wufei'll jump straight down Heero's throat. Silly dragon... ^___^

Banshees and Elves have a common ancestry, so they're like third cousins, a few times removed. ^___^ And they both have protective boyfriends.

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

I'm like that too... only unlike Duo, nobody ever DOES notice! ^o^ Oh yeah... kittens will be had.
And you know what they say about leaving two skeins of yarn alone together in the same bag... >_>

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

*looks around room* Oh yeah. Know aaalllllll about the breeding abilities of yarn. O_o

I'll bet people would notice if you came in to work with a buzz cut. ^____~

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

*stuffs yarn back in bag* Now if we could just figure out how to get to Vanna's to breed a nice gourmet skein or two. ^___~

This is true, but you'd really think that wacking off six or seven inches of hair, SOMEbody would notice! o.O

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

I'd like to get the Colinette yarn to breed... O_o

But your hair is kind of foofy, isn't it? For some reason people don't notice length changes with foofy hair. Mine is relatively straight, except when I want it to be. >.< I lose 12 inches and *everyone* notices. *sigh*

^___^ Maybe if you died it green at the same time...?

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

It's maybe bra-strap length and wavy. It gets pretty frizzy when it's humid, but about once a year I wack it off to just at the shoulder, and I don't think anybody has ever noticed.
Green? A nice moss color? :D

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Moss is nice. ^___^ Or maybe a nice dark pine... with emerald highlights. ^___^ Bet someone would notice then. ^_____~

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

There are days I wouldn't put money on it. >_>

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Really? O_O The midwest must be a much livelier place than I thought.

^___^

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

I'm just one of those invisible people, you know? ^___^

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Ah. I can sort of do that around here. ^___^ You don't notice weird when you're surrounded by crazy.

[sunhawk16.livejournal.com]

I'm too old and frumpy to get noticed past all the youngins. *snort* Though green hair would probably do it if anything would. Not that I much want any attention. I like my general anonymity. *nods*

[merula31]

Well, at least Duo realizes that he can be a bit clueless about things like that! *grin*

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

He has become resigned to cluelessness about certain things. ^____^ All those years spent around clueless Humans.

[shadownitewolf.livejournal.com]

I like the comment about Wufei and the hair XDDD

XDDD I'm from California so you better watch out! Mwahahahaha -coughs- >.> -ahem- <3

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Wufei's even more over-protective than Heero. ^___^ I hope Trowa keeps smelling salts in his desk... O.o

So am I! ^_~ In my silly circle, we've taken to recoiling in horror from each other. ^____^

[shadownitewolf.livejournal.com]

ahahaha And that's what's so funny about Wufei and his role XD
heh Trowa probably carries smelling salts around with him no matter what XDD

I don't remember, have Wufei and Trowa become an 'offical' couple yet or are they still dancing around? o.O

YAY! Another Californian XD eheh I told a friend of mine 'Paranoid much?' and she's like "I don't like Flu's of any kind!" I kind of just laughed at that XD

[shadownitewolf.livejournal.com]

Actually it would probably help if I looked at the rest of the parts because with all the space between parts my brain is like "Duhhhhh..." XDDD

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Sorry about that. O.o Sometimes the hamsters are turbo-charged; sometimes they're comatose. >_>

^___^

[lavendarlizard.livejournal.com]

Nothing official about Trowa and Wufei, except that they grumble at each other a lot. ^____^

Not born here, but raised here. ^___^

It kind of looks like the H1N1/2009 is slinking quietly away; just another seasonal flu. This is good. ^___^ I just hope it doesn't come back next fall as a "gotcha!"

I hate getting the flu-season flu because it just sucks the life out of me. >.< I'm sick for a week, but exhausted for a month. *bleh*
