Yesterday I attended an
hp_california meet at Disneyland, which was good fun. I finally met
airemay,and although I think I might have scared her a bit with my mental instability bounceyness, it was wonderful to see her at last. I don't know why she doesn't make more of the fact that she looks exactly like Christina Ricci. A really tall Christina Ricci. (I'm just a wee hobbit! Her brobdignagian proportions frightened me. *giggles*)
Disneyland (sorry, the Disney Resort) is so completely different than the last time I was there. Five years ago California Adventure was just a tent with some design pictures in the car park outside the main park gates, and there was no Downtown Disney. It was a bit overwhelming, to be honest. Also overwhelming was being with people so ensconced in the 'fandom' of Harry Potter, and all the politics and inside jokes that entails. They were all very friendly of course, but I couldn't help feeling rather clueless, and unfortunately my behaviour waxed and waned between mad playfulness and quiet reserve. (Rather too much of the latter, I'm afraid.) And I was feeling ill for most of the time, so I don't think I was exactly a bundle of fun to be around. Ah well, at least I got out of the house for once. *grins* (And next time I will be exciting and fun. Go me!)
I've been trying to avoid ROTK spoilers, but my wandering eye found this picture, which made me go GUHHHHHHHHH^^&$@#^%^&*)!!HYRHJYJKWGG! and drool copiously all over myself. (The white treeeeee!) OMGILOVEHIMSOMUCH.
Hmmmm. This monthly analysis thingy seems to think we Virgos are a rather unpleasant lot. ( What nonsense! )
This past week has been an excellent one for making new friends, wheee!
achtung_meggy works just down the street from me,
grrgoyl thinks I'm exceedingly cool (how perceptive she is ;-),
myf is an adorable Aussie bibliophile,
belated_fangirl shares alot of my interests and I assume found me through mutual friends, and I met
ladynyks last year at the Neil Gaiman signing at Harrods.
God bless LJ. :)
