I can't remember what it feels like to go somewhere I obviously don't "fit." Sure, I've gone places and been unsure of myself, but every time in the last two years that feeling abruptly pops like a soap bubble, because every time, within the first 20-48 hours of my Going Forth and Exploring (as opposed ( Read more... )

Back from Abney Park! It was amazing, they were amazing, we had an amazing time. It is unreasonable how much inner squee was generated from catching a peek of the sound check while we checked the box office and bathroom. sideshow_ericka and I tried to keep it down and maintain our dignity. Such as it is. Outwardly, we were sitting politely in our chairs ( Read more... )

Tomorrow I'm a driver for a high school field trip. So I am a chaperone for 15 high school kids, all weekend, in Seattle.

Starting at six in the morning tomorrow.

at least we're going to the aquarium.

My cat. She shall be squashed when I return.

XD God, I'm such a fangirl.

I'm going to London,
to see St. James's Park,
and possibly feed the ducks.
I am bringing my BPAL... called "Crowley." It's just a pity I arrive the day after the walking tour of Mayfair.

We're not even gonna go into the squee the Tube stations are causing me after having read Neverwhere last year.

Got back from Transformers 2. Squee. So much shiny dorkage. It is NOT a great piece of cinema that college students, years from now, will study in textbooks. At least not for the plot (the prevalence of fandom, now, is another thing). But it is a FANTASTIC car commercial, squee ( Read more... )

I am a pin whore. I have a 2x3 FOOT red fabric banner that proclaims how big of a whore I am (only about 30%, actually, but I'm working at filling it ( Read more... )

The Good:
the Vancouver show (Friday) for the toaster was very well-hung (always good, no matter what you're discussing) and I got some very nice feedback on the piece. "Nice" both as in "helpful" and as in "positive/pleasant." There was also toothbrush guy, Robin, who was very happy to see me, mercy_angel_09, and chaosblue, because we are a Venn diagram of desirable ( Read more... )
