Friends Only

last night i fell out of my wheelchair trying to get into bed (andy's room is smaller than mine and hard to manoeuvre!) and dad had to rescue me by picking me up off of the floor. i feel ridiculous... i think i gave him a heart attack too. all he would have heard was a huge bang and then my scream of anguish. he ran in looking crazed, like he was going to have to fight something off. i think he might have been brandishing a book... either than or he just hadn't put it down. luckily it was just me being amazingly uncoordinated. today everything hurts even worse thanks to bruising. i'm just going to lie here in bed and moan about it, yay!

quinn has been visiting me, and it's wonderful. we have 'getting shot' bonding time. mostly though, he's been helping me with some research ideas for next year, since i have to go back. and today, when i told him about the falling incident, he made me an ice cream split. that was pretty impressive! so if you ignore the falling incident and the fact that i miss daria, things are going well! uncle peter and lydia came over for dinner the other day and it was really nice.

now i just want to go out again. i feel like i'm turning into a cat lady since sultana has decided my lap is the best lap, since it is ever-present.

do you think it's safe to go out?

Oh you poor baby!! I can borrow Kat's combi and drive you around like the cripple you are!

we'd be going out in style!

Falling out of the wheelchair sympathy. I remember it well. I'm so sorry you have to deal with it too.

I did have a wonderful time the other day. Thank you for inviting me.

hey, pain means i'm alive, right!?

you're welcome! thanks for not cooking!

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

It certainly does mean that.

Hah! Well, for that, you are absolutely welcome.

I don't know how safe it is. It might be best to ask Peter about this as he is rather knowing on the 'danger' front.

I'm going to have to start reading thicker books, Noah. If someone had been in your room that paperback would have done no good at all.

[hereprophetslie.livejournal.com]

fair enough. at least serenity said she would drive the combi so there's a good way for me to get around. i can fit in a combi!

i don't know, your battle cry was pretty scary. would have scared anyone away!

[thatoldgeek.livejournal.com]

I like the idea of you having both Serenity and a car. I don't approve of your wheelchair on public transport with people jostling you.

Well, it scared you in any case. Let us hope you are your own attacker.

[hereprophetslie.livejournal.com]

oh god... the pain... oh god... katia showed serenity how to move me around too. she's down with the info.

i kind of was! the gap between the bed and the wheelchair sucks.

[thatoldgeek.livejournal.com]

Mind the gap.

[hereprophetslie.livejournal.com]

i will, i will!

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

Ah. It should be fine. And I always have my mobile on.

You could always take Razvan along, Noah. He's a party animal.

[thatoldgeek.livejournal.com]

Good, good. As long as he's in safe hands.

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

Absolutely.

Thank you for lending Lydia those books, by the way. She's been going on and on about them and speaking in tongues all week. It's fantastic!

[thatoldgeek.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm glad to have taught her something good. I should really look into a career in educating the youth.

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

Indeed you should. I think you would be marvellous at it.

[thatoldgeek.livejournal.com]

One hopes so or I'll perhaps be fired rather soon.

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

My wife was in one of your classes two years ago. She raves. It's rather impressive, actually...

[thatoldgeek.livejournal.com]

Ah, well tell the sister-in-law she's quite welcome.

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

She yelled at me to invite you over. I'm very sorry, apparently I am something of a boor.

If you'd like to come to dinner sometime this week, we'd love to have you all. The ground floor won't be a problem for Noah either. We're quite wheelchair accessible.

[thatoldgeek.livejournal.com]

I'd like that, yes. I'm free most nights, working school hours and the like. Let me know when works for you and the large family.

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

Aly suggests Friday. And she asks if you would be okay if she makes something Spanish. It's to die for...

[thatoldgeek.livejournal.com]

Spanish sounds great. (I'll even try and encourage Andy to eat something not McDonalds.)

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

Anna is a fan of the Micky D's as well.

[hereprophetslie.livejournal.com]

razvan has a party animal hidden somewhere in there!

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

Indeed!
