NEIL GAIMAN!
basically just repeating what rowana has just said, but never mind...we wandered into london today, for some enjoyable browsing in Forbidden Planet (ah..the geekiness that exudes from that hallowed place..anyway) and a BOOK SIGNING! WITH NEIL GAIMAN!
*frolics briefly, before returning to lj post*
all thanks to rowana 's eavesdropping (and erm..the posters..everywhere..) I ended up seeing one of my favourite authors, who turned out to be wonderful :-) he wrote little messages in speech bubbles in my books..hehehe. Also spelt my name wrong, but then corrected it, so it's all good. Bless. Also I was nice and got him to sign a piece of paper for my dear friend jess_darkwater , which I'll have to give to her after easter, but she squeeed over the phone when I told her so it's all good :-)
*bounces around*
hmm so I am still QUITE EUPHORIC, have LOTS of new books to read (bought some ursula le guin ones and a few neil gaiman ones to get signed...ahem...) and a picture of me and neil gaiman..which is a tad blurry, but it shows him in all his tousledness. hehe.
didn't really do much else today, mild panic as I had to rearrange my driving lesson so I could stay for the book signing...but it sorted itself out. Also, when we had lunch in chinatown, I used chopsticks! fairly successfully! though the portions were huuuge..
as rowana has observed, the easter holidays will probably be downhill from here. but it was a GREAT first day :-)
