25 rant free days and not a whiff of a rant in the air... I'd probably deserve a badge if so many of my ranting posts hadnt been lost by a combination of unreliable livejournal and my computer having sex with itself in a protest against livejournal. :o(
And so what follows is one of those 'what happened in my life' type posts and will probably consist of some name dropping in an attempt to make me look cool....
So the day of the engagement party arrives and after much threating and general nervous gittering about being in a room full of GiBs friends, whom i have never met (and being the only person who knows no-one scares the buggery out of me, not that i believe there was a whole lot of buggery in me in the first place which is scary in itself) we walk into the pub, i'm gripping GiBs hand for dear life and there at the bar I am introduced to Erzibet (Mel),who can sometimes put Lady_Evangeline to shame in a livejournal rant, well she turns out to be a most warm and friendly person who suceeded in making me feel incredibly comfortable in her presence (Which is lucky since GiB then decides to deserts me)
In her credit this was an amazing triumph as i seldom feel comfortable when meeting new people however nice they are and i am more than alittle disappointed that i didnt get to talk to her much but it was her engagement party and i hope there will be other times. blackinfinity (Jason) enters after much tinker or tarting of somesort (I guess there was some-sort of reason why he wasnt there to begin with but i missed it) and sets up some musical delights...and Ginger hitler.. We grabbed some drinks and i prepared myself for the arrival of the other guests... now alittle more realaxed. _Gh0st_ (Andy) soon arrives. A general sense of amazement is felt over his sober state.... A lasting first impression is made. _Gh0st_= Always drunk. I was beginning to learn character traits, it was a good start.
I meet and greet more people... promptly forgetting names and turning to whisper 'Who's that in net-terms?' and being suprised how different people are to the way i imagined them. After imbibing more alcohol and being frequently left alone by my elusive boyfriend I decide it might be a good idea to stop giving _Gh0st_ shy one-word answers and actually talk to him. At this point my brain decides to deny all communication with my mouth and it rambles on its merry way failing miserably to make any kind of sence. Attempting to make up for this by explaining all points inadequately in a number of different ways. :o( I can only hope that the tequila in his beer had taken effect and he failed to notice!
Well he asked for my livejournal username so perhaps i will get a chance to redeem myself in the future. Wires, it seems, had a gig and on arrival encouraged GiB to engage in some geordie banter, which although loud was rather amusing. so...yeah
All in all i had a great time, i was surrounded by amusing, intelligent and friendly people and i now wonder what all the fuss was about in the first place.
A few notes. Fross Isnt half as scary in person as on IRC... infact he is most pleasant. But then I suppose if I had been introduced to GiB on Irc i would have been petrified of him also.
pda Has the most gorgeous haircut that i fear i may have been staring at the side of his head :o/
And lastly there was a young lady there, who's name escapes me, with the lovely boingy-sproingy hair that i have dreamed of so long. Stunning. Yim. Want.
The only thing that made me feel the slightest discomfort was th3lly's (Shelly) presence. Had GiB not informed me that i was sitting a few feet away from her i would never have recognised her and never had to feel quite so nauseous. In his defence had he decided not to tell me and i'd have recognised her myself i might have been more than alittle uncomfortable. Not that i believe the unpleasant effect she has on me is in any way her fault,(well perhaps alittle) I just wish I didnt have to experience it.
Also very disappointed that i didnt get to see meretrix79 as she was apparantly going to slimes but by the time we had be informed all money had run out :o( Buti hope to be seeing her soon to get covered in pink paint. YaY :o)
Thats will be all. Message ends.
