SQUEE!

 ...I know that by all rights I should be offering you fic.  Unfortunately my HHG2Wodehouse isn't quite finished yet.  (actually, I'd appreciate it if someone would look over it.  It's not in Bertie-voice, so I'm not that worried, but sometimes I word things very weirdly and I don't always catch it.)

I'm basically posting because...it was my birthday last week.  My mom placed an order to Amazon.com for the J&W series.

IT CAME TODAY.

I'm afraid I shrieked rather embarrassingly and flailed a bit.

...that's about it!

(For interested parties, I also got the Horatio Hornblower miniseries, and proceeded to parody the first episode in my LJ.  Uninterested parties go on and ignore the comment.  Though you've already read it...so I suppose you can't ignore it...okay, I'm stopping before this set of parentheses gets truly ridiculous.)

GAH THAT'S SO LUCKY.

It's certainly on my Christmas list and I think a sibling is planning to pick it up if she can afford it, but I have the second disc from the first season which I found for seven dollars at a rental place that was going out of business. They only had the one, though. Although I did not shriek, I collapsed to my knees, scooped it off the shelf, and clutched it defensively to my chest while muttering "Oh my god, they actually have it". At that point a fellow took his young daughter's hand and backed away from the TV series section of the store very, very cautiously. But embarrassment in the name of good DVDs is completely worth it, in my humble o. XD

Additionally: A toast to your birthday! *raises Snapple*

Aw, thanks. :P And don't worry, I've been known to do the same thing at book sales. According to one of my friends, I will suddenly freeze for a moment and look very intently at my object of desire, then lunge and seize it and clutch it.

I don't usually remember it beyond the absolute mental squeeing that goes on at those times, though.

Book sales are entirely different, of course, because there is no such thing as action too embarrassing when discovering a literary golden fleece. I talk to myself all the time anyway, and it only gets worse in bookshops, especially when there's a sale or a gift card involved.
