fyrie-related heads-up

[winter]

Lara, Alice - if you're worried about our girl, ashfae talked to her mum and has the info :)

Thanks so much for the heads-up. I really was worried after her post this afternoon.

[winter]

Me too, and since last night. I'm afraid I flailed a little bit, but all's well, and I got her mobile number out of the whole affair, so she'll have no way of escaping me now ;)

I trust you to keep us updated, then. :-)

It's terrible when something happens to online friends or acquaintances. With RL friends, you know who to call and you can look in on them. But once it gets beyond country borders, it's so much more difficult.

Thanks for the info! That entry had me worried for a bit. If you manage to talk to her, tell her I'm hoping she'll get better soon! *hugs*

Her mobile's still not responding due to hospital interference, but I'll pass it along as soon as I get hold of her :) I swear, when she gets here, I'm going to give her a very long lecture on taking care of herself :P

[winter]

Where there's a will, there's a way :> I emailed siriaeve in a pleading manner, and it turned out that my instincts were right, since she had both the number and ways of obtaining further information.

It got me thinking about my own arrangements though - I might just say to hell with it and post contact details under friendslock, because I doubt I'll get phonespam or stalkers from across the globe anyway ;) As long as no-one takes after certain people and texts me at ungodly hours of the morning after forgetting time differences...

[alice_montrose]

*nod nod* I don't have a mobile, but I do know how pestky the things can get when in certain places. *glares at her father's mobile that sometimes substitutes as her own*

[winter]

*blinks* I wasn't aware you could function in today's world without a mobile, you know ;) But they're useful in hospitals, if they're working. I did a disappearing act of my own in Milan this summer, and according to Mother there's nothing as ulcer-inducing as having your kid disappear in an ambulance into a hospital where no-one speaks anything other than Italian, for seven hours before she managed to get through to me...

[alice_montrose]

Sure you can! Well, because my part-time job is done mostly at home and I have my own phone line (it came free with my cable internet), and it's not exactly without a mobile since I do borrow my father's when I go out or on a trip. I sure as hell will be using it during the Theatre Festival, as well! But I'll probably end up getting my own for Christmas or something.

Ouch, you poor dear! Your mother must have been really worried!

[winter]

*pats her Lucien* I can't imagine life without my mobile, really. I recently discovered its email capabilities, so now it's a true communications centre along with the focus of my artistic expression. I might have a few dangles too many on it ;)

Fortunately Mother is resourceful and managed to rope a coworker's friend living in Italy to phone the hospital and find out they kept me in the waiting room for over six bloody hours :/ Still, turned out for the best. I got good drugs there :>

I guess you can always find someone who knows, but still...

I used to give out my cell phone number to a few friends, just in case. But that was two phone numbers ago, so... well. Might not work anymore. A pity LJ's text message feature doesn't work for Austrian providers. That would make it so much easier.

[alice_montrose]

*lol* I can imagine. I'll probably get one with email abilities as well, just because I'd be dead without checking my email while on trip, and thsi tourism course might result in such situations. And dangles are fun! Lime the keychains on my keys, eh? *smirks and pets the three she currently uses*

*pets* It goes to show the Italian doctors aren't entirely incompetent, and that learning Italian might be a good idea. I most certainly never regret it, and I started learning by watching cartoons so it was fun too!

[winter]

Does your provider offer a mail-to-sms gateway (most of them do)? That's how I got my LJ texts working despite my provider being unsupported - I entered "Other" as service provider and the e-mail address that gets messages to my mobile instead of the phone number (ie, 48xxxxxxxxxx@text.plusgsm.pl, since I've a phone with Plus GSM).

[winter]

I recommend a Nokia 6820 or similar - that's what Lucien is, and the flip-open full keyboard's a godsend when typing emails. As for dangles, I currently have three on the phone (all butterflies; Lucien loves butterflies), the One Ring and some pearls on the keys, and a jewel-encrusted skull on the camera. I might be overdoing things a little ;)

Italian doctors beat Irish ones hands down *nods* And I myself can mostly get along in Italian between French and Latin. Read it, certainly, which came in handy during that work project that landed me in Milan in the first place...

[alice_montrose]

*nod nod* Nokia is a given. Best brand out there! The Finnish people seem to be good at something besides rock, heh!
Hmm. I probably need a One Ring. For now my keys sport the "You've been a bad boy, go to my room!" keychain galynthia sent me, the Trinity Blood Abel keychain I won in an online contest (together with pretty Japanese doujinshi art stationery), and my Vlad Tepes keychain of course. Plus my various keys. =^_^=

Yay for Italian practice! Which I might get plenty and soon, I'll know for sure tomorrow... *cough cough* Anyway, Romanian doctors are a P.I.T.A. so I don't reccoment falling ill when visiting Romania.

Stil no phrases for me to say in Romanian? *curious glance*

[winter]

*nods* Lucien's my third Nokia, can't beat the Finns when it comes to ergonomics :) And gah! I want a Vlad Tepes keychain! I should see when my friend's going to be in Romania next... all I have is a t-shirt :S

I'm still thinking :) Sorry, but it's been a hell of a day. Week. Month, even.

[alice_montrose]

Hmm... I'll have to check the souvenirs stores here, and if they carry it I'd be happy to send you one. (i got mine from Sighisoara last year) If you trust me with your address, of course.

It's ok. *pets*
I unlocked a raw half-chapter for you, here.

[carmentalis.livejournal.com]

Mine doesn't seem to offer it. Discount provider. *sigh* I'll send them a service request, though, so in case they're simply hiding it well I should know tomorrow.

[winter]

If it's not too expensive and you'd be so kind? :) I can retaliate with something. Wedel chocolate, for example, because it is decadent love.

*bookmarks for reading in the morning, just so coherentness can be attempted*

[alice_montrose]

Keychains are never too expensive. *adds on list* I'll see if I can find one today, if not I'll keep looking. Chocolate is always welcome in my house - in fact, I might retaliate with heidi chocolate, provided your diet is over by then.

It's very raw, but comments are very much welcomed.

[winter]

I'd be eternally grateful. And poke me again Sunday-ish about it? I was so insanely busy today, I didn't manage to find the time.

(Squee! Vampires! Got recognised and nodded at! Vampires!)

Squee! Vampires! Got recognised and nodded at! Vampires!

Excellent! :-)

[winter]

Longer squee once I get back, because I have to get up in 3 hours, but gah. Bloody idiot messed up his lines, too, but no-one noticed except me. And he swept his cape over me! Silk!

[alice_montrose]

Will poke accordingly!

I am very happy for you. Especially since you got nodded at. *laughs*
