Hashtag Ten Year Challenge

[nanila]

I received a message from LJ a couple of days ago, as it seems they’ve jumped on the #10yearschallenge bandwagon. It linked me to an entry I wrote back when the bloke and I were living in Cambridge in the years BC (before children).

“The Tragic Case of the nanila who wasn’t French”: DW / LJ

This is one of those entries which made me so glad I keep a journal, as I have no memory of the event otherwise, and it was quite sweet even though it involved me being heavily patronised, particularly by Mama.

DW link appears to be borked, fyi.<3

[nanila]

Fixed! Thank you. (It did not like the quotation marks from Google Docs in the HTML)

[recessional]

Ahhh smartquotes, bane of my existence.

This is a lovely little vignette of life. How nice to have it.

[nanila]

My overriding thought whilst reading it was, "I'm so glad I wrote this down."

[davidgillon]

Just what I needed, made me laugh.

[nanila]

Yay, I'm glad!

[angelofthenorth]

That's great!

[nanila]

They were so disappointed. I felt quite bad for not being French.

[silveradept]

Well, that is certainly a story to behold. Probably good for a few laughs now.

[nanila]

Heh, yes. I still don't aspire to be French. ;)

Why not me?

[ed_rex]

Or should I say, "Pourquoi pas moi?"

O well, maybe they'll get around to me. Meanwhile, I greatly enjoyed your trip down memory lane!

I wonder how the LJ algorithm selected users to send the message. I guess we'll see if you receive one eventually!
