WHEE!

Well, I'm all ready to go to London tomorrow. Packed stuff to amuse me on the train, got train tickets, Oyster card and purse. Don't think I'll need anything else.

Just added Bradley and Colin's Something For The Weekend stuff onto my iPod so I can watch it tomorrow. I have the video diaries too.

I do love reading Stephen Fry's posts on Twitter. They always make me smile. I impressed my parents when I told them he'd added me over the holidays, even though I'm sure he doesn't read the thousands of people he has added. It's nice that he's polite enough to do it though

On the opposite end of the spectrum I had to remove James Gunn because something he posted upset me. I'm sure he was joking and I'm probably being overly sensitive but it bothered me to I took him off.

Right, I'll see some of you at the meetup and the rest of you I'll see when I get back. Be warned, I am taking my camera!

Flyby post

Just a flyby post as I am heading to the station in 20 mins.

It's nice that occasionally I still get feedback on my old Buffy fics. I mean they're really terrible but some people are clearly still enjoying them so YAY.

Right, icon poll.

[Poll #1329003]

Edit: I've just realised Crush is on there twice. Sorry, I'm tired. LOL!

Best. Day. Ever

I have had an awesome day! Seriously, I don't think anything tops hanging out with a bunch of like-minded people in a pub *g*

I had a couple of nice surprises too! lex_a_like turned out to be on the train just behind mine so he came and joined us in the pub for lunch. Also, while I was on the train spikewriter called me. She's in the UK to see David Tennant in Hamlet so she came to the pub to to say hello. WHEE! *loves meeting LJ people*

yavannauk, complicat and I arrived at the pub just after 12, which was handily just as it opened. We must have looked like total alcoholics wandering in as soon as it opened. Hehe!

spikewriter arrived not long after that and we decided to order lunch.

lex_a_like got lost finding the pub so I had to go and rescue him, which is impressive because I didn't know where I was myself. LOL! It all worked out ok in the end though and we finished eating just as the Merlin fangirl posse arrived.

For reasons only lou_angel will understand I had a steak and cheese sandwich. It was delicious and also hilarious. I'll explain why in another post.

I pretty much leapt on lou_angel when she arrived. Hehe! I also got to meet Rizzy who has been working as our colaborative beta. He was fabulous and it's a shame he couldn't stay. I'm making it my mission to get him onto LJ

j_apollo had name badges for all of us to wear so that was cool. There's a pic of mine under the cut.

Then multiclassgeek had the awesome idea of doing a round robin fic and pretty soon a notebook was being passed around for us all to add a few lines. It turned into something quite epic. j_apollo is going to type up so I will link you to that as soon as I can. Once it was finished someone read it aloud to the whole group. LOL! Awesome.

(Fic can be found here)

I did my best to mingle and I did meet some new people so that was fun. It was also a mini Smallville meetup because as well as me, complicat and yavannauk we also had littlehollyleaf join us which was awesome. She's lovely! *waves*

I also met lisson17, krazykipper, ionaonie and kelene from my flist. It was awesome!

I'm already very much looking forward to the next one.
