Thursday Excuses

[mishalak]

I spent last evening flirting online rather than writing. Bad me. So that's why there were not entries yesterday. I'll write some more after the SCA revel thing tonight. If I'm not knackered.

Oh and the naming process for the new car continues. I decided that it ought to be the "Tin" something. After all it doesn't look much like silver, even though that is what the paint job is supposed to look like. So I was trying to think what would be like "Silver Streak", but not nearly as impressive. Maybe the Tin Smudge?

'Tinto'. Hi Ho Silver Away!

More tin

Tin Machine (you don't hafta be a Bowie fan) ... Tintinnabulation ... The Tin Carmandment ... Tinny (like Timmy but not). Oooh, here's one that's perfect for your well-known predilections--Tin Yau! He's a vampire in My Date with a Vampire. Played by Eric Wan, who seems fairly toothsome.
Have fun at the SCA thing tonight! Tell me about it Sunday.

Flirting isn't so bad but couldn't you at least do it to people's faces? Get out there and mix thingd up a bit with the local 'hmos and see if anyone bites.

Tin Foil (Hi Ho Tin Foil Away!) {reference to a very old daffy duck cartoon I saw once}

I was going through your journal. Thought your dreams would be of some help in the naming process. Seems your mind may have been thinking about the car (in the id). You posted in one journal:

... "Also at this party there was a weird cross between a harp and piano that had a strangely car like wooden frame. It was a long sleek shape, like a streamlined train made of polished wood and the player would reach inside to pluck strings when the panels were opened. Funky." ...

Maybe think about the dream and "A Name Will Come".

Did the flirting online lead to any flirting offline?

How about "The Silver Smudge". Alliterative, contradictory.

ooooh flirting! Who's the victim? Err... I mean, who's the lucky mystery man?

I didn't know you had a new car. Usually when I get a car, I just drive it until it gets a name on its own somehow.

hmmm.
"The Tin Man"? that would be a good car for a friend of Dorothy.

OK, OK, um... Tinheart?
Tin Star?
Tin Gallon?
I suck at this :-P

Like friend of Dorothy that I am I wouldn't get where Tin Man was from. <grin>

Tin Machine... I better look that up. See you on Sunday Rose.

I remember that one. That horse was much more impressive than my car, but it might just work...

So much for my attempt not to play to stereotypes! [grin]

No, this thing was nothing like my car. It was cool and my car is just.. Boring. It's a supposidly silver Saturn 4-door.

[mishalak.livejournal.com]

Umm... Yes. And more than that has to be friend locked I think.

[mishalak.livejournal.com]

Oh stereotypes go through the wringer around me. Two conflicting ones fight with each other. Major geek and very gay. Will I be fab or a slob?

[mix-o-choc.livejournal.com]

hehe ... cool

[mrpsyklops.livejournal.com]

Ok, ummm, Tin-der (tender) and Slow?

The lucky mystery man is named Skipp. He seems to be a nice enough sort. I'll have to meet him for coffee or something sometime soon.
