The TBFC is still the coolest fan event I've experienced. (Yes, including my one and so far only Worldcon. Though that was pretty great, too ( Read more... )

1.) dune_drd visited me this weekend, to learn how to make a ring and for general geek-out purposes. A great time was had by all (I think), and I'm seriously considering replacing my LJ catch-up plans with a general invitation to my flist to come and visit me so we can catch up in person instead.

After finishing catching up with only the fourth out of a couple dozen LJs on my 'indispensable' list last week I was interrupted by my offline Social Life in the guise of nager, back from a year in Australia.

is certainly my favourite pastime, but it has side effects just as serious as getting drunk. . . Returned from a thoroughly fannish afternoon/evening/night at 4 a.m. today and couldn't go to sleep. Now I'm so drained I sort of move and think in slow motion. The interesting thing is, I didn't actually doze off in any of my classes at uni today, as I ( Read more... )
