"I will answer your questions but only in the language of a crow"

[mooging]

My morning has not gone particularly well. It has been a tad full of trivial little deviations from nice, simple tasks that has ended in me metaphorically sticking myself to the computer chair and watching Top Gear clips until the stress went away.

I was making myself some breakfast. I had tea and Alpen (muesli). I had poured the hot water into the tea cup when my sister (who is 5) appeared down the stairs. Everything kind of spiraled from there.

SISTER: Can I have some raisins?
TEA: *gets stronger by the second*
ME: OMGZTEA.
SISTER: RAISINS
ME: *dives in the cupboard, pours out the raisins (not noticing that she is actually pouring out currents)*
TEA: AHAHAHAHAHA I WILL BE TOO STRONG TO DRINK SOON!
SISTER: *goes away*
CRISIS 1: *is averted*

A few moments later, as everything is nearly ready and I am preparing to go up the stairs and eat:

SISTER: *re-appears* Don't like these, want a yogurt.
ME: *gets a yogurt*
SISTER: *goes away again*
CURRENTS: *sit in bowl, waiting to go back in the packet*
PACKET: *has a tiny, tiny opening for a lot of currents to fit through*
CURRENTS: *go everywhere*
ME: MUST HURRY.
TEA: AHAHAHA NOW I WILL COOL DOWN RAPIDLY
ME: OMG WANT NICE TEA
MILK: *is poured quickly into Alpen*
MILK: *actually sloshes out of bowl and under the kettle*
ME: WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?!
CLOTH: *refuses to clean milk*
KITCHEN: *smells like milk*
TEA: MWAHAHAHAHAHA I WILL BE SO DISGUSTING!
ALPEN: And I am going soggy!

CRISIS 2: *leaves Moog a wearied wreck*

Yes, I did over-dramatise that. Yes, I do get perturbed by minor disruptions. Stop mocking me.

Meanwhile, it is the weekend and I have Maths coursework to procrastinate over, so let's play this (stolen from rionaleonhart):

Comment to this post with an idea for a Top Five list (for example, Five Things Top Gear Dog Would Rather Not Have Seen, or Five Times Laura Roslin's Desk Broke, or Five Monday Morning Incidents With Mac's Motorbike). Then, in a separate post in reply to your comment, I will compile the requested list, according to me. Multiple requests are welcomed.

:( meeep! i so know those types of little disasters that can simply ruin your day. *hugs*

*hugs back* Okay, I don't know if you mean tops she has actually worn on the show or ones from the depths of my imagination, so here is this:

Five Tops that Laura Roslin Has Worn

1) When she was little, and not quite old enough to choose what she wore, she had a blue, long-sleeved top with yellow and white flowers round the cuffs. There was a photo of her wearing it, under a pair of dungarees, anf she's smiling at the camera with a bunch of daisies in her hands, holding them up to match the flowers on her top. She doesn't know where the picture is now; maybe it was destroyed in the atttacks.
2) On her first date, she wore something black and cut low enough that the lace at the top of her bra was just visible. She remembers sneaking past the door to the living room before calling goodbye to her parents, certain they'd make her change.
3) The shirt she's worn for the most days in a row is a purple-blue silk shirt. She was wearing it on the day she ended up in the brig, and although it wasn't practical (not warm enough and then too hot), she decided it was worth it when she saw the way Lee Adama looked at her, side-ways through the cell bars when he thought she wasn't looking.
4) There's a top that buttons all the way up to her neck that she hates; it has ruffles and she doesn't like the colour. She wears it because it matches a skirt she likes, and really, what choice does she have anymore?
5) Moving back onto Colonial One, she wears her hair up and a baggy green shirt, loose and gaping, and ironically, on this day, it makes her feel more like Laura than the President.

I hope that was okay for you!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yes, Lee was definitely looking at Laura in the cells - he was distracted from the fact that his dad had been shot by the fact that Laura looked astoundingly hot. ;)
