Miss Meglomania: There's nothing quite like that "new toy" feeling...engrained in childhood, and just continually upgraded, lol...
Matrixrefugee197: That, and I've got an incentive for getting the new machine set-up (besides getting away from all the madness on this box)... I'm raring to get the "Matrix Online" software installed, since they're having a kind of Hallowe'en party in-game, all weekend/
Miss Meglomania: Ooh, cool!!
(Giggling to herself, imagining all my headspace-members dressing up for Halloween...)
Matrixrefugee197: So are my bunch of houseguests... Flood was considering dressing as John Steed from "The Avengers"... and Cecie decided to dress as Emma Peel!
Miss Meglomania: LOL! Cal doesn't need to dress as anything whatsoever, she's scarey enough as is...Simone and Nicky are going in their usual "Neon Alice and the Mad Hatter" pairing...Ilia doesn't see the purpose in it whatsoever (spoilsport! :-P )...
Matrixrefugee197: ::Giggles:: I like Simone and Nicky's costume idea!
Miss Meglomania: That's what they've gone as every year since they met...it reasonable/funky enough and doesn't cost a lot of money- basically just throwing together random stuff through the year...
Matrixrefugee197: Hey, whatever works! Sometimes the random costumes wind up being the best ones.
Matrixrefugee197: Sure beats the guy who spent a lot of time and money rigging up a costume that looked like... a shoe.
Miss Meglomania: Me: "Oh, come on, get in the spirit of things, won't you? It's fun!"
Ilia:
"Fine, I will dress in Versace and go as a contract-breaker. Sound good?"
Miss Meglomania: (LOL at the shoe!)
Matrixrefugee197: ::Giggles::
I'm not sure what Le Mero is dressing as...
Miss Meglomania: Probably something historical/mythological/fictional...lessee-- Casanova, Zeus, and Tom Jones?
Matrixrefugee197: LM: "I'm a little old to be Tom Jones, and I'm a *LOT* short to be Zeus... Casanova might work.
Miss Meglomania: Ilia: "Zeus could have been short...he became a lot of things, bull, swan, gold rain...hornier than you, old man. Maybe even worse than the tall Frenchman you share hotel with."
Matrixrefugee197: LM: "Mm, most likely... he made a grab at me the other night..." ::Wincing just a little::
Miss Meglomania: Ilia: "Poor old man... No- I meant him. If he is after someone that looks like *you*, he must really be desperate."
Matrixrefugee197: LM: "Or he's simply the sort who'd screw anything that moves and is of the age of consent..."
Miss Meglomania: (Oh, GOD- You-Know-Who popped into my head, grinned, and said, "Really? Well, then, what do you say to a financial negotiation?" OUT, you slimy fat bastard, OUT!)
Matrixrefugee197: And now Armand the Frenchman just stuck his ugly smirking face into my headspace... beat it!
Miss Meglomania: Kovacs: "Perhaps, since *I* seem not to be welcome either, we may discuss this matter in another room?"
