back to normal
Jul. 17th, 2006 12:11 pmI drove 588 miles this weekend. I dunno if that seems a lot to those of you who live in BIG countries, but it seems like quite a lot to me!
Was good, though. There are worse things than driving an air-conditioned car full of friends on a nice sunny day. Bun,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nopseud and I arrived chez turps33 (and her sweetheart James and her adorable Corey) at about teatime, ephemera_pop and msktrnanny were already there, so yay! I have another face to put to a name on my flist. We had giggles, and hugs, and footage (the BSB round-the-world tour is a real eye-opener), including The Cooler, and added Pirates (Saturday night, cinema, yes we did stay to applaud the end of the credits) and brief beach scene (seaside *so pretty* in the 8pm sunlight, if I'd had my camera I could have made icons that would have people saying 'How did you get that colouring?'), also the joy of Justin in The Observer, and nopseud's evil cackles of joy over the reactions on LJ. And, on the way home, listening to Justin's Radio 1 interview/session and - heh! - howls of delighted horror from the back seat when he confessed himself "frightened" by what he found when he Googled his own name... In between, quite a lot of nattering, with msktrnanny giving us her US perspective on stuff like The Superbowl Incident and how to tell that Merchandising was written by a Briton. We failed, alas, to read badfic in the middle of the night. :-(
I am sorry to relate, though, that we all wimped out of trying the transparent tequila lolly with a humungous WORM in it. My Bun is still traumatised from the sight of it. (Heh!)
Oh, it's nice to get together with you guys! Thank you,turps33 for luring us all northwards!
I should probably get back to normal life now. Hmm.
