so I woke up AT SOME STUPID HOUR and got ready. boarding a train to kings cross I uneventfully tried to warm up (it was colder than chicago in winter) and then when I arrived at kings cross, got the thameslink to brighton.
it was soooooo cold. I nearly cried. though the excitement of meeting vk was rather deightful. so, I got to brighton, which apparantly is the gay capital of europe (no one told me?) anyway so when I got there I saw a transsexual and a bunch of camp guys. fair enough, says I. anyway, I waited for about 20 minutes, vk, being the supreme queen of style, was fashionably late.
she introduced herself with a titanic haymaker to my left shoulder. that was nice. so we walked and talked for a bit. she's rather AWESOME.
so we went to a pub and she had some white wine. how bougeois [sic] and whatnot, but the conversation was good. we then went down to the beach for a bit, then off to her job. she works in an art gallery. anyway, I did some mild exploration whilst she got set up for work. then at 2 when her place opened I headed on in.
she showed me around the exhibits and we talked about many a thing. the exhibits were sparse but pretty interesting. one was a memory thing, with two camers which fed into projectors which projected onto a fragmented group of glass screens. very ace.
the other stuff wasn't as cool. tracing on paper tryin to capture outlines of images on a projector played in slo-mo, and some stuff about entering your name, then other things with drawings. vk did two awesome drawings of me :D
I went for lunch in burger king, then returned. me and vk conversed some more and I wandered around the hall (was a converted church, nice atmosphere, FUCKING COLD).
anyway, at five she got off and we wandered around again looking for soemwhere to gt a drink. finally, after walking in A GIGANTIC CIRCLE OF DOOM we ended up by the pub we went in at the start and so we returned to there. she had more white wine and crisps (what a nutritious dinner!)
THEN we went back to the station, on the way we encountered her parents and I had a brief conversation with her mother. that was nice. vk and I then said our goodbyes and that was that. I got on the train and got home, some train delays but no probalo in general. I also wrote this poem.
OHANDALSO vk is blindingly gorgeous in every aspect. I feel this should be stressed to the population of my eljay flist. she is also crazy awesome fun to hang out with. she bought me a toy soldier! so I bought her a hasslehoff mug in return :D so yes, veeday = GOOD TIMES.
riker out.
