And thus the taking over of the world began.

Had a lovely meet-up with shweta_narayan and elsmi, who are even more awesome than expected. Beverages were had, with much discussion about genre poetry, the SFPA, ASP, the steps involved in non-profit status, and other such revolutionary talk. We then moved on to pizza, for which Spouse joined us, and the conversation expanded to the U.S. military, the space ( Read more... )

these friends of mine, sun diego, sneaky goggy, po'try!

Jealous! I love living in the UK, but it means that erzebet and alankria are the only folks reasonably within my reach. So many of you seem to live on the US West Coast, within fairly easy reach of each other. Granted, I know a handful are scattered throughout the rest of the US and even in Canada, but. Jealous nonetheless!

Hey now! I'm mostly in the UK as well! Although, you know. "Reasonably within reach" ... Cornwall ... Yeah.

*blinks* Was I mistaken about you being based in Canada? Or do you spend part of your time in each place? I think I'm somewhat confused at this point ;)

I'm from Canada, but I'm doing a PhD at the Cornwall campus of the University of Exeter. ;) I'm there until 2012, but I'm spending this summer at home to work so's I can live on more than tea and air in the fall.

Of the chameleon's dish we eat of the air - yes, we impoverished postgrads! In addition to tea, I occasionally favor clove cigarettes when in stress-mode. My husband doesn't like this very much.

I'm doing my Ph.D. at the University of York; I've been living here solidly since 2005 when I began my M.A. When you're back in the autumn, I think a meet-up is in order. I've never been to Cornwall. Have you ever been to York? Both places are reputed to be gorgeous, and I think I can verify that rumor about York at least ;)

I haven't been to York, and would LOVE to go! Farthest north I've gotten is West Yorkshire to visit Erz. A meet-up is definitely in order! I'm in Penryn, tiny village next to Falmouth.

Ooh, York is gorgeous! I hope someday to go there for a visit. Maybe we'll meet up (even though you don't know me yet).

ajodasso July 28 2009, 16:36:41 UTC

Certainly, I'd enjoy a meet-up. I think you'll find I'm hardly a shy person :) So, do you live in the UK/Europe, too, or are you also Stateside?

skogkatt July 28 2009, 17:00:36 UTC

Alas, I am in the US. But I enjoy travel!
