My god, so busy. Stupid Christmas.

The best thing ever happened last Saturday because that evil lydia_petze, with the help of the equally evil lainy122 and veronamay, gatecrashed my party. I was absolutely gobsmacked. I rode that high for the rest of the night and the next day was even better because we totally got our fan on and went to see HP4 and KKBB agaqin (KKBB gets better with every watching--I went to see it again with family last night for a birthday thing), ate a very nice lunch, and fucked around in the arcade for a while (I got thrashed at air hockey but regained some of my honour on one of those whack-a-dino games). Then back to mine for Lean high Cuisine and more Robert Downey Jr in the form of Wonder Boys. Monday morning and her flight outta this town came all too soon. Lainy and I saw her off at the airport and then it was back to reality. This was my first time meeting someone I was friends with (not just vaguely knew) online and it was awesome. l_p is even more fabulous in person than online and we had the best time chatting and squeeing together. This was one of the coolest things anyone's ever done for me and I can't thank you (three) enough!




Me, Al, Lainy, and my friend Ben at the party.


A rare unguarded moment--she may usually look sweet, but lydia_petze can kill you with her brain!


Me and Al at the airport--awwww!


Obligatory attempt at self-portrait with friends.


The enviably photogenic Lainy



I spent the JBs voucher l-P and veronamay gave me today and managed to rack up (with room to spare): The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Casablanca (Special Edition), Zoolander, Starsky and Hutch (the movie), and a Kate Bush two-in-one, containing Lionheart and The Dreaming (an utterly fantastic album). Unfortunately for me they didn't have the Futurama season sets or ANY Jeeves & Wooster, but oh well, eventually.

Hee! I really like the one with the three of us ^_^ Even though I seem to be pulling the WEIRDEST face :p

I figured out how to connect my mum's camera with my computer (or rather, I just found the cord that connects the two :p), and I'm uploading the pics as I type! Will post them asap. ^_^

Awww, you all look so sweet. I've seen the money shot over on Lainy's journal, btw, and again I say: HEE.

Yay for photos! That's great - the ones of the three of us and of you and I are keepers :-)
