Why Am I Always The One Hit By The Shrinking Ray?

[rionaleonhart]

I don't have people over to stay very often - I think that a grand total of two people have stayed the night this year - and so I tend to act a bit forlorn and quite possibly lovesick when they've gone. th_esaurus is off having an awesome time with tick_ now, and I'm moping around the house and smiling fondly at the unmade bottom bunk (IT IS ONLY MILDLY CREEPY) and looking at the pictures she drew for me.

One of these pictures is of Joseph (from the musical, not my brother) looking adorably embarrassed in his wonderfully ridiculous Egyptian slave skirt-thing and knee-length socks, and it gives me endless joy. It's a bit grey, which I am sure is because the scanner is crap and not because I am woefully incompetent when it comes to adjusting brightness/contrast levels at all, but that does not stop it from being glorious.

I fully intend to kidnap th_esaurus and keep her locked up in my house and force her to draw things for me all day. Maybe not today, because that wouldn't be fair to tick_. But soon.

(I love spending time with people from Livejournal in real life. If I meet a new person out in the Real World, I'm always terribly uneasy and awkward because I don't know what their interests and, crucially, their weirdness threshold are; what will they be happy to talk about? What will just scare them away? Should I try to engage them in conversation about politics or Top Gear or zombie biology or, indeed, how the political views of the Top Gear team might be influenced by a zombie attack? It's so much easier when I already know a bit about how they think and they already know that I'm mildly insane.)

Oh. Oh. How much would I like to see Jeremy Clarkson play the ukulele?

(Hint: A WHOLE LOT.)

Not as much as I'd like to see Hammond play one- it'd look like a normal guitar on him!

I suddenly have a desperate need to somehow persuade Richard to take up the ukulele purely so Jeremy can make a comment along those lines.

But Clarkson with a ukulele would be absolutely hilarious.

So what you're saying is that someone needs to write a fic where the TG3 learn to play random musical instruments that they've picked for each other?

Someone could pick a tuba for Jeremy ("To go with your fat mouth, mate.") and something hideously complicated for James.

BLATANTLY SOMEONE MUST WRITE THIS.

Preferably with UOGB cameos, djgowbgrgtrw, someone go attack strangeumbrella in the face please.

I can picture James playing the harp. They could have their own mini string-band: harp, ukulele and banjo. Purely because I find banjos hilarious for no good reason.

(Actually, you're absolutely right; the tuba is the perfect instrument for Jeremy. That or the trombone.)
