I had a fantastic weekend over in Reading. I have some lovely, charming photos. AndI am very tired now. I was going to post some of the lovely photos, but because I am very tired now, i stuck the memory card in the wrong slot (hur hur hur, etc) and now it's stuck and I can't get it out. Bugger.
I might have tweezers somewhere, maybe that would work...

Anyway. Weekend, fab. Saw Neil Gaiman, who did a great reading and Q&A thing but opted for pints over waiting in the enormous queue for signing so no kidnapping.
Met

kimkali who is also fabulous and lovely.
Had refined train journeys with

malvino, also pints, Horror (of the film variety), french news and clamberings over a very badly placed sofa bed (seriously hotel. Placing the sofa bed so it precisely fills the space between the main bed and the bathroom is a Very Stupid Plan, 'k?).

And of course much horrormeet goodness, courtesy of Shambelina and Special Time, who very graciously hosted, didn't mind us showing up A Bit Late on friday (due to those pints) and were all round wonderful. The barbequeing in the driving rain saturday was highlight and I still can't stop singing 'I'm cooooooking in the raiiiin just coooooking in the raaaain'. The resulting food was v. tasty tho.
Also, possibly the worst horror film ever, Mr Pinchy and of course the best moment of all, Shamblina bursting into the living room declaring "Quick, fetch my camera. And some butter!".

If I hadn't stuck the bloody card in the wrong bloody slot you'd see why too :/
Now, I am off to hunt for tweezers, then go to bed.

How was GAIMANSQUID?

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?

WHY?

don't you want to make kissy-face with him now?

because I saw it, and it was goode.

IT IS NOT GOOD IT IS VERY VERY NOT GOOD IT IS THE STUFF OF NIGHTMARES AND YOU ARE AN EVIL EVIL BAD-FRIEND PERSON

I LVOE YOU

*DEFRIENDS BOTH OF YOU. ALL OF YOU*

and: all of us? There can be only one!

*cackles*

the plan, she is working!

*DEFRIENDS MORE*

Hellison swooned with excitement. Finally it was really happening! All her planning, all her hard work, come to fruition¹!

It had been three very long weeks. Three weeks the handsomely crumpled Gaiman had been imprisoned in her lair, three weeks she had worked to erode his defences. She had read him tracts on the benefits of plural marriage. She had drugged his tea. She had plied him with powerful ciders.

She had finally resorted to setting the DVD of Misery on repeat and leaving various hammer-type implements lying around and giving them Meaningful Looks.

And it had worked! He had agreed. Agreed to a kiss! A kiss with tongues, even! Oh glorious, blissful day! Hellison quivered as she closed her eyes and waited for his magical mouth to meld with hers.

And… there he was… warm breath against her lips, a curly lock of his lovely hair brushing her cheek, a slimy tentacle slipping into her mouth--

A hideous shriek rent the air!

TO BE CONTINUED???

¹in the form of an orange, presumably

I am going to defriend you IN REAL LIFE now.

WITH KNIVES.

unfair! as am laughing too hard to defend self!

Hellison tried to shriek but couldn't because her mouth was currently occupied with Something Else.

She desperately tried to push the lurking tentacle lust to the back of her mind.....

So... who HAD shrieked? It was a high-pitched and womanly sound. It could only be -

"Hellison!" screeched David. "You WANTON HUSSY! I told you I would have the tentacule surgery if that was what it took! I am just returned from LA where I have found a doctor prepared to carry out the procedure. And now - now this betrayal!"

He began to weep.

...

I AM TOO TIRED TO HATE YOU PROPERLY

I am sure I will manage tomorrow

I think David would approve of Gaimansquid. He could star in an episode of Baywatch, threatning to take over the world, and David could rescue the lovely

hellison_1 from the squid's tentacley love.

*DEFRIENDS EVERYONE*

i think it's more likely to be like this:

I approve of that comment.
