Eight Things Skull Bearer has seen since she last updated

Mountains. Skull Bearer when to the south of France, and saw many beautiful mountains, some so high they didn't look like mountains. Trust Skull Bearer, the best sight in the world is the realisation that the odd cloud formations you're looking at at sunrise aren't clouds at all...

Skis. Yes, Skull Bearer has gone skiing. On said mountains. Skull Bearer's legs are regretting this fact since she went down a slope far too advanced and did them significant damage. How ever, Skull Bearer would like to maintain that it had been fun up to that point.

People she hasn't seen forever. The trip was at the behest of a family friend, and many people were from a time when Skull Bearer didn't know fanfiction existed. Also, despite the fact that Skull Bearer promised to keep in touch, she has decided that it would probably be a bad idea.

Far too much of her mother: With whom she is never going on a holiday alone with again. The woman managed to forget everything from her handbag to her driving license and Skull Bearer is very sick of her freaking out even after she found said items and taking it out on her.

Lots and lots of ink. When you don't have internet access or even a computer, more primitive methods must suffice. She wrote a lot.

Possibly the best PS2 game ever. It's called Okami, it's Japanese and you play a wolf god. It's alsolutely brilliant.

Her very own funny sign(tm): She and Joey found it embedded in one of the square meter squares of earth that houses Tottanam Court Road's trees. It read 'Cricket Ground, keep off'. Skull Bearer will link to the pics when Joey uploads them.

Not nearly enough internet: Which she is currently remedying.

*lol*
That's just mean! I have a comic about this in my head:

chibi!SkullBearer: *squee* "I found a funny sign! Looky!" *is all happpy*

evil!monster!Delaminate: "Mwahaha! /MY/ funny sign!" *steals*

chibiSB: *lower jaw bone quivering, tears dripping from eye holes*

To be honest, I'm amazed it's lasted so long without /someone/ taking it. Either from Delaminate's reasons, or because they're an anal-rentative policeman.

I wonder what would have happened if someone had cut down the tree and then told the oncoming police he did it because he wanted to play cricket there?

Hahahahaha!!! That image has amused me ^_^

I find it even more amusing to picture people actually playing cricket on that square meter of earth and constantly hitting each other.

If you believe this, there was once a cricket ground (a real cricket ground) which had a great huge oak in the middle. Instead of digging it up and planting it somewhere else, the cricket club wrote out a huge list of rules on how to play cricket on a ground with a bloody big tree in the middle!

Only in England.

I often wished I was English. Right now is one of these moments.

I'm glad that they didn't cut down the tree.

I would have loled so louds I'd have hurt myself.

I'm amazed it lasted so long. Joey and I thought someone would have stolen it long ago. Although we had some less-than-flattering things to say about such people, probably because we thought it would be some member of the law enforcement.

Hmmm...I am going on holiday with my mum in May, we're off to Greece for a week to see my brother who will be working out there at one of the holiday resorts. My dad can't come though cos he can't get time of work. Its either going to be a great laugh or we will drive each other nuts.

I've skied once and was very bad at it. Snowboarding though is great fun. I went to the French alps for a week once and did lots of snowboarding. Spent more time on my backside than on my feet though. But it was class ^_^

I can't ski at all (we're living in the lowest lowlands imaginable) and couldn't afford to go on the class trip where everybody learnt it. A few years later I went caravaning with a friend and her brother, but I was so awful at skiing that we gave it up and sledded down the slopes on empty trashbags that tore, whereupon we sledded down on our backsides/bellies/sideways. The rest of the night (we did that in the dark because it wasn't exactly allowed) we got lost in the forest in very wet clothes. When we made it back to the caravan, we got so completely pissed that we ended up plaing strip poker, even though the guy is totally gay and my friend totally straight, so the only person to enjoy it properly was I.
"X-D

And no, I have no idea why I'm telling you that, either. ";-P

That sounds like the best holiday ever!

It was great fun, though incredibly embarrassing later. These things tend to be. Well, it was worth it ten times over.
