Can I be all smug? :D And not hated please!

as an impartial observer I think you should indeed be smug

I will remain at envious

Thats okay, envy is fine.

I'm surprised I made it this far at all to be honest, and I'm not really smug. I just want to (well I want Napier) to beat Edinburgh Uni.

Go Napier!
(OK, I am much too old to be a student but my son is a Napier student so at least I can support them - tried to get him to do this with me but he wouldn't)

I used to be at Napier so you go guys!! =D

Stop supporting Napier!

And stop being all innocent Rachel. We all know you're the devil in disguise

I have a 3 1/2 hour train journey now, so I intend to get some serious catching up done on you. I will beat you!

Mmm....Is that too nasty?

Yes, keep supporting Napier!

And I think its nasty to say I'm the devil in disguise! I am nothing of the sort :(

For that, I'm actually going to start trying...

That's just cocky!!

And it's better than calling you a Cherub, as Elysée seems to have taken to calling you. Least I didn't say I hated you either, like you said to me...

Mind you, she is barking... :) even if she is a Edinburgh Uni writer... :)

What is wrong with being a Cherub? All cute and innocent... not naked though. Don't want to put you off your writing! I would rather be called Cherub than Cheapie anyway...

You did say you hated me! That was why I said I hated you... you started it all!

But I don't hate you! I made that very clear!

And stop using my words and twisting them against me! You know what I meant by that other comment!

And yeah, can we gang up on Elysée instead?

James

Yeah, but you still said you hated me and I made it clear that I only said it because you said it to me first, so you were twisting the situation against me. Yeah... like I'm doing to you... ahem...

I'm up for ganging up on anyone that isn't me! And she is an Edinburgh uni writer after all...

Mmmm....she does have that going for her. But then she does call me cheap and tries to implant images in my mind.

I shall have to do a pros and cons list. I haven't done one since I chose my Uni!! And then I'll get back to you on that one...

AND I didn't say I hated you as a person. Just your ridiculously high word count!! I loves you really!

But... but... Napier were so in the lead... it is a bad thing...

Let me know the results of your list!

And I loves you to... which is why you should be happy for me and my word count! Even if I am beating you.

You're even more in the lead now. Nearly 2000. And you're in 3rd.

And 6000 ahead of me :(

I feel like I'm doing a poor job. :(

And I've decided that love conquers all, so you're safe....

James

Your at no.5, that is hardly a poor job! Stop trying to make me feel sorry for you so I won't write!

Does that mean I can still beat you and you won't hate me for it?

Mmmm...I'll get back to you on that one.

And I'm only actually at 5 because I was doing the word counts as I was writing on the train last night, and I had planned to hit about 12,000 and stop, but saw how close it was so wrote an extra 300 words to jump me up a couple of positions.

And dam you seeing through my plan! Any hints how I can get you to stop writing? Or at least feel sorry for me? :P

James

You're still at no.5 though... I can almost see you from here at no.3 :P

There are ways you could do to stop me writing, or make me feel sorry for you... but I'm not going to tell you what they are! If you really want to stop me then you are going to have to think of that all by yourself!

:(

Mmm... I have an idea. A fairly poor one, but it may work. And it doesn't involve any pain on your part, or anything illegal! I shall try on Sunday.

James

I'm intrigued... I guess I'll find out tomorrow... but hmm... I don't want to guess in case I give you ideas...

As long as there is no pain on my part, I guess. Also, I want a fully functioning laptop when I leave! (well as functioning as it is just now).

Dam. She smarter than I thought.

Although that in itself has actually given me an idea. :) But I prefer my first. It's so simple yet requires so little effort. And you might not even notice I've done it... :) And it'll cheer me up too

Now you think I'm stupid... I'm beginning to question what this idea for tomorrow is :P

I really want to know what these ideas are! :(

I didn't. You see, I give you a compliment and you take it as a bad thing! This is why men can never understand women!

And I'm intrigued to see what your reaction is tomorrow. I wont even be there till nearly 7!

James

Thats because you said you thought I was stupid! :P

I want to know what my reactions going to be! Am I going to want to hit you? Should I make sure I'm wearing a ring to make sure it hurts extra?

:O I cant believe you're asking that!!

How nasty!

And I never said you were stupid! I said you were even cleverer than I thought! Its a compliment!

James

Okay... I won't wear a ring! And seeing as I said I'd be nice... I won't hit you! As long as you aren't that mean to me.

You still made it sound like an insult :(

I didn't mean it to be! Honest

And I'm glad you're being nice. It makes everything so much better!

James
The conquerer of the 3 Peaks

Yes, because you would never say anything nasty to me! (but we shall not go into that again...)

I've been nothing but nice to you!

You did say you hated me last week! Don't start acting like an angel!!

:P

James
The conquerer of the 3 Peaks

Only because you said you hated me first!

And I am an angel! Pure innocence, I am!

I could quote something that was mentioned at Wednesday's write in, but I'm being nice, so won't.
