always, always / goodnight and go

Contractually binding (according to the one trainee lawyer among us) agreements entered into last night:

- Jimmy pledges to allow John to sell his (Jimmy's) future children for profit.

- Rifa pledges not to ruin John's birthday on Tuesday (this contract later shredded, but it was signed and witnessed so might still count).

- Gary pledges to go swimming in the river Ouse or its tributaries if I do (verbal agreement).

I'm just glad I got through the evening without getting married.

Tonight for once I'm staying in, with historiography articles on JSTOR (I am a history student manqué this term), Amanda Foreman's biography of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire (Sarah got me a copy with the Gainsborough portrait on the cover rather than Keira Knightley, and much as I like Keira Knightley I think it's preferable), and "Goodnight and Go" by Imogen Heap, which is very sweet considering it's literally about stalking. If I could just pry myself out of bed I could even add peppermint tea to the equation. whee.
