Cocking will occur (with added shoptails) on 30 June and 21 July. We can sort out when & where to meet nearer the time :)

[livejournal.com profile] nannyo, this means I can visit / meet you in Leeds on 9 June or 14 July. Entirely up to you (and Our Glorious Leader can do either, too).

Hurrah! Add in the Dublin trip on 6-7 July, and I'll actually be building a social life again!

Obligatory LJ Scandal post: People screw up. It happens. They've apologised & are trying to fix it. Yes, it could have been handled *way* better. Yes, the original "Oh no, what a ridiculous idea!" response now pisses me off. Yes, I *am* pleased that they've overreacted rather than the opposite.

More than anything, I love my new fandoms :) The most intelligent, not-kneejerk discussions are happening on anime/manga fans' journals, with most people waiting to see what *really* happened rather than spreading the escalating rumours and outrage without checking to the source. The part of me that still thinks like an auditor has been cringing at all the unsubstantiated hearsay and accusations.

Cocking!

[livejournal.com profile] dr_wez, I had one for you, and it was very enjoyable.

Anyway, it appears that three Jen[n][i][e][y]s isn't enough to implode the universe, although it does make life easy when making introductions ("Sarah, these are Jenny"). We shall continue searching for other members of the Collective.

We visited Holier Than Thou, where despite already having captive balls, I bought 2 more. I confused a Small Child by woffling my nose at her, and fed [livejournal.com profile] nannyo a preparatory Creme Egg. We met a python and verified that Jasper is my cat, not my boyfriend.

[livejournal.com profile] snapesbabe was offered a discount in Forbidden Planet without asking for one. I think this counts as a SuperPower. It turns out that she also has boobies, and I discovered that sports bras come in black.

Apparently (according to [livejournal.com profile] tooth_fairy), I have smug genitals.

We were given crayons in Old Orleans, and we left an Elephant's bottom and Cthulhu on the tablepaper.

I resisted the Lure of Lush, despite [livejournal.com profile] tooth_fairy's discount thingy, mainly because of the sneezing and the queues, but not Starbucks. My spiky hair thing from Needles (which I was going to show a picture of here, but it doesn't show as much as I remembered (as indeed it doesn't in this icon)) attracted attention, ranging from "Funky Hair!" through a 12 year old girl pulling faces and a Bloke At The Station saying, "Can I touch it?".

It was a Grand Day Out :)

I hate colds.

I hate how I switch between feeling hyperventilated and oxygen-starved. I hate how my ears feel as if they want to sneeze. I hate how my nose won't get *properly* blocked, or *properly* clear, but hovers somewhere in between where it's just irritating. I hate getting out of breath again, just as the Running Thing was starting to make it easier to walk up hills (such as the one to the Ally Pally) without being gasping at the top. I hate not getting a good night's sleep because of waking up & needing to drain my head.

Our tax software is crashing repeatedly for one of my clients. Until it's fixed I can do nothing.

Except surf LJ, drink vending machine coffee and wish for a new head.

I'm full of cold today. Lemsip hasn't made a dent in it; nor did gong for a shamble yesterday and having a nice spicy pasta sauce for tea. (I cooked! Well, for my definition of cooking, which involved stirring a tin of tuna into a jar of ready made sauce.)

Am meeting Many Female People tomorrow for a day of drinking shoptails. Or maybe cocking. I'm not yet sure. [livejournal.com profile] vulgarcriminal, are you coming?

Mum's getting a delivery of Knitting Stuff from the Edinburgh Freecyclers. She replied to an "I have Many Patterns" post and asked on my behalf for 50s / 60s Sweater Girl styles, and got a couple of offers of "pointy-booby" jumpers :) Sounds perfect :)
