lauriestein is dead. Long live damelola!

[damelola]

I changed my username. In case you're drunk and wondering what the hell is going on.  Since the Queen somehow overlooked me in the New Year's Eve Honours, I have made myself a Dame.  You'd best believe I am somehow expecting to get boozy with fellow DBE Harriet Walter as a result.   A girl can scheme, can't she...?  

(Also, I like that it could be Spanish for 'gimme Lola'.  Which I'm sure you all say on a daily basis, etc.)

I like!

:)

[damelola.livejournal.com]

Yay :)

[girlie-girl-23.livejournal.com]

I am glad that you posted this because I am rather tipsy right now. Also, I feel like I say "gimme Lola" at least once a day. ♥ ♥ ♥

[damelola.livejournal.com]

I figured y'all might need some warning. And of course I am pleased about the frequency of your 'gimme Lola's. :)

[causticchick.livejournal.com]

Holy shit, you changed your username! It's the end of an era, lady! I dig the new one, though! Fresh start for a fresh year! <3

[damelola.livejournal.com]

ikr? The old one was just... not fitting any more? This feels more 'me' :)

LONG LIVE DAME LOLAAAA! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[damelola.livejournal.com]

EEEEEEEE! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I'm a fan!

[damelola.livejournal.com]

Lovely :)

[topaz-eyes.livejournal.com]

My Lady. :-) I like very much. Has a good ring to it.

[damelola.livejournal.com]

Why thank you, it's rather grown on me :)

[soaked-in-stars.livejournal.com]

LOOKITYOU, all knighted and shit.

[damelola.livejournal.com]

I hear there's a special club. Will report back on shenanigans with Julie Andrews, Helen Mirren etc.

Hahahaha when I first saw your new username on my f-list, I of course was immediately like, "...who on earth is this?" and then when I actually read the post and realised it was you, I was then like, "what on earth is a dameola?" I was pronouncing it dam-ee-ola in my head.

But then I re-read the post and read it properly, and now it all makes sense! While I'm sad to see lauriestein go, a new name can feel like a brand new journal with a fresh start. Hooray! :D

[damelola.livejournal.com]

Yes, a fresh start feels lovely. And this way people can stop assuming I think Hugh and Lisa are secretly married and making babies ;)

I aim to confuse!

[chippers87.livejournal.com]

I bow to you, m'lady. *tips over because she's shit-faced*

[damelola.livejournal.com]

You are a most loyal subject. I shall reward you with a Prince of our realm - the Paisley one or the Laurie one, you decide.

[chippers87.livejournal.com]

I shall take the Paisley one for myself and, in my unfailing generosity, shall request that the Laurie one be shared with all the land, for that is how far his scrumptiousness goes.

[25lively.livejournal.com]

I like it too! And I love your new layout. I can appreciate Olivia's pretty even if I don't watch the show.

[damelola.livejournal.com]

This is very good taste on your part :)

[sjoes.livejournal.com]

Damnlola, I'm not good with changes. Good thing last night's champagne is still chasing my blood through my veins.
Hope 2011 will indeed make an honest woman out of you and out of your woman, of course. All the best for the new year, my dear. x

[damelola.livejournal.com]

I'm a dame, not damned ;) Or wait, maybe your thing, actually :) Don't worry, if you type lauriestein out of habit then it redirects here anyhow.

All the very best for the New Year my dear, I hope to swing by your country and take you out for boozes at some point, since Amsterdam is already on my planned destinations.

[sjoes.livejournal.com]

Booze ups it is!

[coinoperated.livejournal.com]

A girl can! Happy new year! xx

[damelola.livejournal.com]

Happy New Year lovely! xx

[sequoya.livejournal.com]

Dame is how you'd say "bad" in Japanese, though pronounced Da-may :-) Bad Lola! :D

[damelola.livejournal.com]

That is excellent news! It covers my default state, because I'm usually in trouble for something :)

[shutterbug-12.livejournal.com]

Since the Queen somehow overlooked me in the New Year's Eve Honours... Ahahahah. &heart; She's getting old. She forgets important things sometimes. ;)

Love it, by the way. Hee. And in my mind, you will wear big hats. =)

[damelola.livejournal.com]

I am GREAT at wearing big hats.

[wanderlonely.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you, damelola. ;)

[damelola.livejournal.com]

Lovely to have you, dear :)

[satya.livejournal.com]

Fancy!

[damelola.livejournal.com]

Right? :D

[flippet.livejournal.com]

Well, damn. Look what I miss when I sleep in! Regime change, and all that.

I'm actually having a hard time believing it wasn't this way all along. ;-)

[damelola.livejournal.com]

(We awere always at war with Eurasia) and I was always a Dame of the British Empire :)

[copper-season.livejournal.com]

Ooh! Love the new user name, bb! *hugs*

Happy New Year!

[damelola.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Happy New Year to you, too!

[alice-1005.livejournal.com]

OMG LOLA, REPPIN' THE FRINGE THERE. I APPROVE.

Annnnd I do indeed say that on a daily basis (maybe if you actually showed up to bookstores I would say it less ;D) and I totally approve.

[damelola.livejournal.com]

I REP BIG TIME, etc.

Me, you and a bookshop sometime soon please! I will totally show up :)

[drnihilism.livejournal.com]

Wonderful new name for the new year! I love it.

[damelola.livejournal.com]

Why thank you ma'am ;)

[missfoxie.livejournal.com]

Rock on, Dame Lola and Dame Harriet (still totally squeeing over that fact). *bobs a curtsey*

[damelola.livejournal.com]

Thank you, dear subject (do I have subjects? Regardless..!) *nods benevolently*

[zwoelfchen.livejournal.com]

Happy New Year and Happy New Username!

I raised a glass to Dame Harriet on NYE! We probably emptied half the bottle in her honour.
