A Confession

[ismenin]

This pic has nothing to do with this post - I just like it! DomLijah. Meep.

I have a confession to make. I am a BAD girl. I'd slap my own hand if I thought it would do any good - but it won't. I am unrepentant.




In the UK we have a programme called Countdown in which two contestants vie against each other to see who can make the longest word out of nine letters chosen at random by a woman from two piles of letters, one consonants and one vowels. I thought I'd better explain this, because, like my lovely Stephen Fry, I like this programme, and often join in.

Anyway, cut to a few weeks ago when I was sitting, broken arm in sling, waiting for the nurse who had the keys to the drugs cabinet to come back from lunch. It was a LONG bloody lunch. Two hours I sat there.

I moved my chair so that I could look out of the cubicle and see what was going on. It failed to grab my interest. In the cubicle were two waste bins, one marked "DOMESTIC WASTE" and one, which I have no doubt should have read "CLINICAL WASTE", had been attacked by a Visigoth, and now bore the legend "INICA WAS" on its lid. It was at this juncture, I freely admit, I joined the ranks of the Visigoths, and became a graffitist and a Vandal. *Bows head in shame.*

I immediately saw the possibilities of this bin lid, and did a little re-arranging a la Countdown. The letters peeled off with amazing ease. When the nurse came back with the pills, the lid bore the legend "I WAS INCA."

Yes, I know - I need to go and stand in a corner for half an hour reciting the mantra "I must be a GOOD girl!" - but it WAS fun.

*Head down, blushes - sneaks out sheepishly*

Oh that's just fabulous! What a glorious thing to have done. I wonder if it's still like that. I do so hope so. :)

[ismenin.livejournal.com]

I hope it's still there, too, my dear! :D xxx

[mole-caz.livejournal.com]

Hee hee! Love it!

[ismenin.livejournal.com]

Thank you! *Blushes* xxx

[ladysunrope.livejournal.com]

I'm sure I read an article somewhere about vandalism at your local hospital... ;)

confession is good for the soul, so they say. Made me laugh a lot!

[ismenin.livejournal.com]

I'd forgotten all about it in the excitement. Yup, I bet there was, too! :D xxx

*giggles insanely*

Don't fear! Sure they blamed the kids *giggles some more*

[ismenin.livejournal.com]

Well, I really bet they didn't think it was me! :D xxx

[bellewood.livejournal.com]

This DID make me smile! With those letters facing you, how could you not!! Too good an opportunity to waste i'd say, especially in view of the 2 hour wait! We all need to be a little reckless now and again..go girl..lol!

[ismenin.livejournal.com]

Well, I certainly wouldn't have done it if the bin had been in pristine condition. I couldn't resist the lure of the letters! :D xxx

[chickenlegs-11.livejournal.com]

Oooh now how could you possibly resist arranging the letters that way. Hmmm - *thinks* Maybe you could have put "I SAW Inca" Ahh - if only! Hee hee.

[ismenin.livejournal.com]

Come to think of it - I did consider it. But I like to think I am Inca! That would have been better. :D xxx

That's a slippery slope you're treading, young Issi!

You have seen the adverts with the senior on a motorised buggy thing, haven't you? She rampages through a shop, knocking over displays, terrorising innocent youngster before bursting out of the shop and making her getaway?

I can so see you heading that route! :D

ps. I think it looks like Elijah and Orlando.

[laeliacatt.livejournal.com]

It does look like Orlando!

[http://users.livejournal.com/tweedle_/]

A lot like Orlando. :D

[ismenin.livejournal.com]

Yup, they do look like them - but I was hoping someone would make me a manip with DomLijah heads. I might ask someone. I like the thought. ::D xxx

[verangel.livejournal.com]

You're an imp! This was too cute. Glad you left your mark...hugs xoxo v

[ismenin.livejournal.com]

I certainly hope I did, kiddo! :D xxx

[mews1945.livejournal.com]

The rascal of Buckland! I think that's fabulous, Issy.

[ismenin.livejournal.com]

That's me. BAD Ru! :D xxx

[trianne.livejournal.com]

You are so naughty, but we love you!

[ismenin.livejournal.com]

Aw! Thank you, my dear! :D xxx

[laeliacatt.livejournal.com]

Naughty Issi! I like that in a person. ;)

A two hour lunch when she had patients waiting? *harrumph!* I shall send over one of my parrots to poop in her favorite pair of shoes!

[ismenin.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't think she had a two hour lunch - it was just an excuse to leave me for a bit. They WERE busy, but they'd be less crowded if they moved folks through the system more quickly! :D xxx

[forestrane.livejournal.com]

tee hee

Isn't it fun to be in your "second childhood".

[ismenin.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm definitely there! Frodo and Merry dolls, models and stuff. Yup. That's me! :D xxx

[noipeh.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAH!!! Oh that's great! And honestly, if they're going to take two hour lunches, well, they get what they deserve...especially with such rascals as Issy around!

[ismenin.livejournal.com]

I am a rascal, it is true, but I really don't think she had a two hour break. But who knows? :D xxx

[pattilovesviggo.livejournal.com]

*Head down, blushes - sneaks out sheepishly*

Ow! Go-on I bet you enjoyed every second ;D
Fun indeedy, you delinquent senior :)

[ismenin.livejournal.com]

I did! Why I forgot about it I don't know! :D xxx

[babydazzle.livejournal.com]

You make me laugh. I love that picture. I've decided, and very recently, that I have a fetish for men in robes. Priests, Monks, Ancient Greeks--they all fit that category. Even hospital gowns apply. Is it the novelty of 'easy access'? I don't know. We may never know. I'll slap your hand, and you can slap mine so we can at least say we made the effort, mkay? ;)

And yes! That could so be Dom and Lij there. That's before they have to kneel down and take communion from Father Bean. (heheheheh)

[ismenin.livejournal.com]

Now that sounds like a very nice threesome! :D And I'm with you with the skirts in particular. Sigh. :D xxx

[ladysunrope.livejournal.com]

I bet it's not communion they take from Father Bean!!

;)

[primula-baggins.livejournal.com]

Bwhahahahaha! OMG! That's soooo funny! : D :D :D

You are good at being a bad girl. ; )

I love that picture. It does look like Domlijah.

[ismenin.livejournal.com]

I would like it to be DomLij very much! Wibble. :D xxx

[frolijah-fan-54.livejournal.com]

OMG - if I had been there I would have been cheering you on!! How could you possibly be expected to pass up an opportunity like that? You hold your head high - you did it for all your Inca readers after all - *giggles*

[ismenin.livejournal.com]

Ha! I did. BAD Ru. :D xxx

[slipperieslope.livejournal.com]

Evidently the Visigoths got nothing on the Incas!

[ismenin.livejournal.com]

Indeedy! I am a naughty Inca gal! :D xxx

[janejanejane.livejournal.com]

Good for you, I love it! Hope it stays that way. Serves 'em right for keeping you waiting!

[ismenin.livejournal.com]

Still feel bad about it, Janie - but it WAS fun. :D
btw, the 8 o'clock thing last night was Rich coming down to watch Independence Day with me in bigger! :D Idiot! xxx

[janejanejane.livejournal.com]

Just enjoy feeling a teensy bit wicked for once, then! ;D

Glad you remembered what the 8 o'clock thingy was last night. Not had time to check out that John Peel homage week on Radio 1 yet. Must remember!
