Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

Oh I am a dozy Mouse!!

*clutches ribs* I think I may have strained something.

OK.

*takes deep breath, tries not to dissolve into helpless giggles. Again*

Right. I can do this. OK. *cough* In the earlier entry, I mentioned with fangirly glee that an Ursula Vernon print had arrived. In an email to Ursula yesterday, I said the following:-

Funnily enough, another print I ordered from you arrived this morning. Not remembering I'd
ordered it, I stared at the package blearily, thinking "Wow, that was fast! I only emailed her last
night!"

Remember this, it'll be important later.

So cut to this evening and I see jenni411 on AIM and we get nattering. The following conversation ensues:-

MitchFC: *points to LJ* I've had a fan girly squee couple of days :D
JLS411: Um, yeah, about that....
JLS411: You know that Ursula Vernon print you like so much, the mouse on the log?
MitchFC: yeees?
JLS411: It's a good thing you like it cause you're getting another one. *cringe*
MitchFC: ...
MitchFC: You're kidding? :-)
JLS411: I ordered it for your birthday.
MitchFC: *fdl* Oh that's good :-) Well, two's better than one, right? :D
MitchFC: *hugs her Jenni*
JLS411: *hugs you back* I almost died when I read your LJ this afternoon. :-)

Happy chatter follows, discussion of maybe making a return (shipping costs made that a bad idea, though Ursula was very generous with her offers of refunds/half price for another print etc. when Jenni emailed her about this) and so forth.

And then a small, dim light bulb goes off in my brain. Waaaait a minute. I don't remember ordering it. I DON'T REMEMBER ORDERING IT.

I start to snigger.
I go to PayPal.
I start to giggle.
I check my account history.
I start to laugh.
I only have ONE prior transaction to Ursula's PayPal account, and that's the Digger print I ordered yesterday.
I start to howl. Seriously. I scared the crap out of the cat.

Yes, folks, the reason I don't remember ordering the print was because I didn't order it!

MitchFC: *giggles* Thing is....I don't think I DID order it! I think the one I got was your gifty! But you see, there was nothing IN the order to say it was from you!
JLS411: Oh Gods....
JLS411: I dunno about you but I need an aspirin and a lie-down now...
MitchFC: *rolls back onto the floor, hooting hysterically*
MitchFC: *clutches you and howls with laughter*
JLS411: *dissolves with you, to dismay of Mom & dog*

Poor Jenni! ! I am sorry hon, for giving you a nasty surprise this afternoon! Thank you for my lovely birthday present, it's beautiful! And one day, I'll acquire a memory and a brain, honest!

*wanders off, shaking head* Only I could do this...only I could do this....only I could do this......

wednesdayschild has a problem and is appealing to her flist. I post this here in case any of my London based flist would be interested :)

Right, so, apparently daimon_hyperion cannot come to see the Caesar Twins this Saturday, so there's a spare ticket kicking around, which I've already paid for, so the best case scenario would be that someone reading this desperately wants to come see the show, ensuring that nobody ends up out-of-pocket.

The place: Comedy Theatre
The date: Saturday 11th Feb (this Saturday)
The time: 3.00pm, but meeting at 2.40pm if possible (matinee performance, leaving time for people so inclined to go to the pub afterwards)
The cost: £15

First come, first served, obviously--if you know someone who might be interested, please feel free to pass this info on.
