Weekend Adventures In Reading

So. Very. Tired.
Had a wonderful weekend in Reading, celebrating [livejournal.com profile] shambelina's birthday. Met up with old friends and made some new ones, both very good things to be doing! Also drank a lot of cider, mostly on friday night, and didn't get nearly enough sleep on either night.

There was horror and wrongness and dancing and shouting and ranting and singing and games and live re-enactment of that rugby shirt swapping video, which very happily happened *before* I'd drunk so much katy things had gone hazy ;p Truly a memory to cherish!

Also shopping, in which no handbags or makeups were purchased, honest, present buying, book buying - including Pride and Prejudice And Zombies (which is hilarious and made me giggle for most of the flight home), extended (and possibly heated) discussions about Fine Art, similarly extended (and possibly heated) discussions about What I Actually Do For A Living, barbeque, cake, strangling, lots of people being Dead To various other people Now, hideously gross pound shop toys (note to [livejournal.com profile] thipe - so VERY dead to me now)... and lots of other stuff I am too tired to relate now or was too drunk to remember clearly.

In short? A Very Fine Weekend Indeed, so many thanks to Shambelina and [livejournal.com profile] special_time for having us all over to wreck their house have a wonderful time yet again!
The only downside was not having enough time to catch up with people individually, but I am making Plans to rememdy that in the near future ;)

Does it involve paying for all of LiveJournal to attend Beach Meet: Where [livejournal.com profile] malvino Wears A Sarong?

I'm not paying for ALL of you! Maybe we could have a whip round to convince him tho?

or failing that, when he visits belfast, I'll take him along to a beach, with camera and sarong?

Every time i try to open the case all i can see are his weird googly eyes STARING up at me!!

[identity profile] thipe.livejournal.com 2009-04-20 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Just think what he's doing in there while it's closed!

You write reports for the government, don't you? *RUNS*

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2009-04-20 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
You're actually a bit closer there, you at least got the government part sort of right ;p

[identity profile] gnillot.livejournal.com 2009-04-20 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yes, he said academic reports, right?

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2009-04-20 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes ;p I'm just glad I was able to correct his misapprehenion in a calm and dignified fashion and not by (for example) having a huge shouty tantrum about it ;p

Maybe he confused you with Our Lady Thesme? :p

Need pics of Horace. Even though the very name makes me think of my mum's midget cousin.

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2009-04-21 09:53 am (UTC)(link)
pics are now on facebook, here (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=247718&id=678880257&l=f3efd1bef9) , horace is tagged (look for the ones near the end mostly ;p)

What the pictures *don't* convey is the horrible sort of greasy texture he has...

[identity profile] lazy-hoor.livejournal.com 2009-04-21 09:55 am (UTC)(link)
Have you put him in your pants yet?

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2009-04-21 10:29 am (UTC)(link)
NO. tho i am slightly worried that he is in the case WITH my pants :/

[identity profile] lazy-hoor.livejournal.com 2009-04-21 10:33 am (UTC)(link)
Don't tell me you're not tempted... ;p

[identity profile] hellison.livejournal.com 2009-04-21 10:41 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously, you have NO IDEA how... icky that thing is to the touch. So gross.
