Hils's journal

I'm grateful for all the con reports/photos etc but at the same time I am pining. I haven't done a con since last November and I am aching to do another one. I need my Mish Mish in person fix

So, here's some things I'm looking forward to and only some of them are Misha related. I had loads of tickers in my LJ last year. Must be a quieter one for me this time around

Just booked my ticket for Hallowhedon! I opted for a gold pass since, after discussing it with yavannauk, it's actually the best value for money even though it's the most expensive.

Is it bad that I'm excited and it's over a year away yet? I'm crossing my fingers they'll get Nathan but like I said a couple of weeks ago I love Buffy cons so I don't really care which guests they get. Robia has already been added so I will hopefully be able to get her to sign my cruise photo if she doesn't cancel

I think I might actually die of exhaustion!

I'm going to Newcastle this weekend to visit Dave and see Michael McIntyre

Then I have




I appreciate that if I do die of exhaustion it'll be of my own doing. At least I'll go with a smile on my face ;)

yavannauk is going to be my Hallowhedon buddy so I'm going to book the hotel as soon as I've confirmed dates. I'm hoping I'll be able to get my ticket when I get paid at the end of October

Eh, it's all go. LOL!

I've gone back as far as skip 980 and I'm still not fully caught up. If I haven't commented on something you want me to see then drop me a comment.

Now, my trip to Wales in bullet points (or numbered points to be precise)

1. The motorway is scary! I was warned but it was worse than I imagined. I nearly got crushed twice by people not looking and pulling into my lane. Driving home was a bit better.

2. I went to some of the Torchwood external locations and it was awesome, especially since my Mum grew up in Cardiff so knew where all the interesting places were. I was amused to discover that Splott is a real place, and Mum-Ra was amused when I used Ianto's 'I believe the locals pronounce it Sploh' line.

3. I went to a Doctor Who exhibit which was also cool, and mostly had stuff from New Who so I didn't feel like a n00b

4. I saw lots of old castles. I love visiting castles.

5. I saw Hellboy 2 and that was awesome too.

6. I went to few museums too and they were interesting

7. I went to the park where my mum used to play when she was a kid. It was right next to the beach so I got to see the sea too.

8. I saw Aled Jones in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

I think that was the bulk of it

Reading through my flist I am super-excited about meeting Michael next month now I have read all the awesome reports about the thing last weekend

Michael said drusplace was a hottie and he demanded that richess grab his ass to feel how flat it was

I am in envy of my friends! LOL!










Who else is going to Collectormania? I know about complicat, yavannauk and aurora_bee

Anyone else joining our posse?

C14 is getting a good lineup. So far on my hit list is Michael (obviously), Adam Baldwin and J. August Richards.

I'd love to get some more Torchwood peeps but we shall see what happens.

Assuming he doesn't cancel again...
