Well, after all my fuss, it turns out I'm allergic to BPAL after all.

*grump*

*sneeze*

In happier news, OMG I'm going to London in December. Right after Ewan leaves Guys and Dolls, but there wasn't anything I could do to stop him, so I'll live with that part. But I have a plane ticket now. I'm committed. I'm not eating for the next couple months (not necessarily a bad thing). I'm seeing Duran Duran and John Barrowman and lots of old buildings.

Also, right after that happened last night, I was playing KoL and almost accidentally beat the Naughty Sorceress. Now I'm itching to ascend, but I have to figure out all the details first. I'm considering being a true masochist and going Hardcore Oxygenarian. Gulp. I probably wouldn't be considering that if I'd gotten more sleep last night. But hey, at least everything else will seem easy after that.

Oh, and I finally saw this week's House last night, thanks to

chelseafrew. And I fell out of my chair. No kidding. And then I came home and opened my birthday present from

deannie and

noelql, which happened to include a piece of gorgeous Suzan Lovett House art that I didn't even know existed. Guh.

So the week is ending much better than it began.

Ooooh, London. I need to go back to London.

As for the BPAL, are there common notes to the ones that made you sneeze? Because there are definitely notes that make me sneeze (most florals and some ozone-ish types), and others that make me woozy in a baaaad way (anything patchouli or musk), but if you can tell what those are are and avoid them... I know there are people with tons and tons of scents that work on them, but I've really only found about five that make me happy.

Go you on the plane ticket! You are going to have a great time!

And you're welcome. :-)

go you, i hope it's a great vacation in london. recommending the Ur and Sutton Hoo exhibit at the british museum...er, along with everything else of course. ;)

sorry about your allergic reaction, hope you're feeling better now.

Yeah, I always have to search long and hard to find a scent that won't make me sneeze or give me a headache, and that can make me happy enough that I don't want to wash it off after ten minutes. So far, there's been four perfumes in my life that made it that far.

I really like a couple of the BPAL scents, though, so I'm removing those from the others to clear out any cross-scent contamination from the package, and hopefully at least one of them will prove to not be the source of my allergic reaction.

Let's hope I have as good a time as you did. :-) And thanks!

I saw the Sutton Hoo exhibit last time, and it was fantastic! Didn't make it to Ur, alas - I think I spent too much time staring at the Elgin marbles and trying not to cry. *g* Definitely Ur this time, though!

it is fantastic indeed. i haven't been to london in sooooo long i feel ancient myself. ;) but when i was there in the 70's, i spend a few hours just staring at the marbles....it was a weekday morning and there was no one there so i had the place mostly to myself. the stillness and the presence of those artifacts as stunning.

and oh yes to Ur. :::happy sigh and points to icon::::

I saw the Sutton Hoo exhibit last time, and it was fantastic!

Wow! We did? Shows how much I was paying attention after seeing the Marbles.

What was Sutton Hoo?

Or maybe I'm just getting old and three years on I'm forgetting everything...

Oh and *wave*! I was looking at your LJ since I hadn't seen a post from you in a while...damn, I missed a lot. Somehow missed the driving lessons and the BPAL allergy and something else that I read from January but I already forgot it so I'll probably go back and read it and go "oh yeah, duh, meant to say something about that too". :D

Yes I've had caffeine, why do you ask?

Hope to catch you on AIM sometime, it's been ages and I have that Dilbert calendar for you. :)

PS - can only chat from work on squidge. find me someday *g*

and, obviously, that first bit was supposed to be a quote...I did the tags wrong, whoops. big shock there...
