Am in Christchurch and am safe and cold. Conference starts this afternoon. Human Body guy is speaking this afternoon too. Yay. There are plans to go to Wanaka later on in the week. Must see phreq to give her present altho unfortunately no Ma Higgins. I was sick so didn't get out of house to get for you sorry!
On Friday got text from Blondie and our flat is too loud for her and she would like to look for new place for her. I new she was too good for us. Blondie is an awesome flatmate but the rest of us are too into singstar and anime for her I think. Anyway when I left I was lining up a new flatmate for us so that when I come back the changeover should have occured. Cna anyone guess who it is???

I cannot guess who is moving in with you, unless it's Sass, which is my only guess.

Posted by: Zephfi at July 4, 2004 03:07 PMI know who it is! (to be sung in annoying singsongy tone)
Posted by: sok at July 4, 2004 04:54 PMWell, I know 'tis not me, as I am feeling v poor and student-y at the mo' (although the parentals are driving me a tad crazy), so colour me intrigued! Please say it's Brad and he's finally realised that Jennifer's no good for him! Or or the Barbarini Faun has come to life and wants to live in your flat ! *looks hopeful*
Posted by: Sass at July 4, 2004 09:18 PMI was reading Svend's blog. So I guess svend (not really a guess as svend said he's taken up a posi at your flat)
Posted by: Emba at July 5, 2004 09:33 AMSomeone reads that? I thought I was pretty much talking to air. :)
Anyway, I'm waiting with anticipation for what I might end up being called - I've never had a nickname that wasn't a modification of my own name. Unless you count my name on Vic Uni's BBS, which I doubt the gentle readers will know.
Posted by: Svend at July 5, 2004 10:20 AMWell, feeling bad that I blundered in and ruined the guessing the new flatmate game, perhaps a pick a nickname for svend could replace it?
Posted by: Emba at July 5, 2004 12:14 PMsvend has a blog? i assumed so but no one tells me nuffink! also how am i to be annoyingly mysterious now that you all know!! there goes my new fun hobby. i vote to call svend "sonny" as in sonny-boy. no, wait, swanee as in swanee river - no wait, i vote that i get more sleep and become coherent. siiiiigh!
Posted by: sok at July 5, 2004 02:54 PMI remember Svend's BBS name (she said mysteriously). In fact, there are at least half a dozen ex-BBSers that I *only* know by their BBS names, and I still get them all confused. :-)
NB: I may not count as a gentle reader. Not sure.
Posted by: iona at July 5, 2004 04:35 PMOMG! Svend!
You have totally ruined my name for Giffy's flat by moving in. Even though you haven't yet. I call them the girl flat and now it'll have to be the girl flat plus Svend.
Lame.
Posted by: Jenni at July 5, 2004 05:07 PMor you'll just have to start pretending Svend is a girl, and call him Svendalina or Svendolyn ;cp
Posted by: Sass at July 5, 2004 05:48 PMI've actually met a Svenda, at this year's One Love concert. Somewhat surreal -- having a Swedish family background, she always wondered why she wasn't Svena.
On a slightly different note, I've been called Svendolyn before, but never Svendalina.
Sonny is the name of the main robot in "I, Robot". Whether that makes it more or less appropriate, I don't know.
Posted by: Svend at July 6, 2004 10:43 AMsvendolyn it is. actually margie and i came up with that last night :)
Posted by: sok at July 6, 2004 10:02 PMSo great minds think alike, and reggies seldom differ :) Or something. How about Svendarella? We could find you some mice and a pumpkin and Margie could be your fairy godmother!!
Posted by: Sass at July 7, 2004 08:40 PMMargie being played by Jennifer Saunders in the animated version of the flat? Yeah, I could see that...
Other options that have been used are Svendlemouse, and Svenfold - though that would require someone to be Dangermouse, Colonel K, Baron Silas Greenback, Stilleto... I think Erik would make a good Nero.
Or we could go a Homestar Runner route - Svend Bad? The Svend? Marzisvend? Um... maybe not.
Posted by: Svend at July 8, 2004 12:55 PMI love it when my blog goes crazy. I'll be back in Wellington tomorrow and am all prepared to be amazed by my new girl(+boy) flat. Hurrah!
Posted by: GIffy at July 11, 2004 08:10 PMhopefully you can get in the door :) muchos stuff!
