[neverwhere]

Last night I went to see Monty Python and the Holy Grail at a nearby cinema (a delightfully old fashioned one, with 200 very comfy seats), partly to see the film, but mostly because I thought it would be a good place to meet people. Especially cute geekyboys. Yes, I am that sad -- normal people to go bars and clubs, *I* go to see Holy Grail. *shakes head and sighs* ;-) So I wore one of my more attention grabbing t-shirts (the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy shirt with 'Don't Panic' in large, friendly letters on the front), and tried to look at interesting people so they might notice me. Well, I think we all know how this story turned out. No one noticed me. No one even smiled at me. There were lots of people there, but they were all in large, boisterous groups, which of course made me feel like such a prat for going alone. I couldn't even laugh, I was feeling so sorry for myself. It didn't help that right in front of me was sitting a very scruffy old man, who seemed to represent my future -- unloved, unkempt, and utterly, utterly alone. I don't want to be that guy. Please, somebody, ANYbody, save me from being that guy.


Anyway.

Remember when I said Dave McKean likes fish? I don't think I really explained just how much he likes them. Neil kept teasing him about an article he had read in the Weekly World News about fish in Koi ponds have a disturbing tendency to explode. And Dave didn't like it one bit. *giggles* Every so often, Neil would lean into the microphone and go 'KaBOOM', which made Dave twitch and glare menacingly, and Neil shake with suppressed laughter. They are so cute together. :)


I wanted to apply for an internship at the Henson studios this week, but I've just realized you need to still be enrolled at university to be eligible. Which, quite frankly, SUCKS. I wonder if Neil needs a new assistant? ;-) (Arrghh. Am going absolutely CRAZY here not having a job. No one will hire me. There's no acting jobs to be had either, and even if there were, I'm sure I wouldn't even get through the door, as I'm not a 'hot model/cheerleader type'. Rawr. Somebody give me a JOB, dammit!)


The new pictures of Remus and Sirius are...interesting. Did anyone actually believe Sirius would look like a prettyboi after 12 years of torture in Azkaban? Sheesh. Am reserving judgement about Lupin (MY Lupin), but I do wonder why the hell he has a moustache. That's just not right. Bad Alphonso!


Must dash darlings. Will try to keep you all more updated from now on, I promise. *hugs and kisses for all* :)

Cheers!

*guzzles Took Nog and twirls around playfully* :D

Awww, sorry movie was not fun. :( I'd love to see Holy Grail in a theater! And am jealous of your "Don't Panic" shirt.

*huggles*

[soupytwist.livejournal.com]

You'll find fellow geeks eventually, dude. It just takes a little longer to find them, I think. You won't end up like the old guy. *hugs*

Neil is cute all round. :D And I don't think Remus has a tache - that looks like shadow to me.

*more hugs*

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

I hope you're right about the shadow, because Remus with a porn tache would be too disturbing for words. *shudder*

*huuuuuuuuuuuug* :))

[soupytwist.livejournal.com]

OMG, I know. Porno/ paedo cyclist look is so not Remus. EEWWW.

*huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugs - and chocolate :)*

[nerdcakes.livejournal.com]

Aww, you won't grow up to be a scruffy old man! Maybe a scruffy old woman who takes very little care of herself and looks a bit like a man, but not an ACTUAL man! And besides which, you've still got us internet weirdos to love you. Not to mention a snazzy HHG t-shirt *grinhuggle*

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

I love my internet weirdos and they love me!

We're as happy as can be, la la la...*giggles*

[irisamelia.livejournal.com]

GASP! I KNOW!

LUPIN DOESN'T--GAH!!! @___@

*glomps you* ^_____^ Update more, yes!

[kasyx.livejournal.com]

Maybe next time don't wear a t-shirt? But still wear 'don't panic' in large friendly letters on the front? You can get some very good washable paint these days...


*hugs and winks*

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

Ha ha ha. *snarf* :-P

*pouncehug!*

[sensefille.livejournal.com]

Look at all these comments coming already, and you've just recently posted. You're not alone, nor will you end up that way. *hugs*

Many happy thoughts for the job search. I know it's tough.

Hey nevvie?

[shortypenguin.livejournal.com]

....I loff you. <3 Just remember that, okay? I wish I could save you. We could go live in the tunnels in london and never come up again.....(because you'd be too busy ravishing richard!!! -giggle-)

<3

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

I miss you. *cuddles*

And of course I could never forget. You're my ickle sis after all. :)

[jrivka.livejournal.com]

when i come live with you, pet, i will pay you all the attention you need ♥

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

Oooooooooooooooh. *giddy bounces*

But what would the girlyfriend say? Or is she invited too? ;-)

I have prettypretty pictures of you! You and Esther on a happy day out, looking so beautiful and full of squee! You're adorable. *kissy*

[jrivka.livejournal.com]

if she wants, darling--after all, she's off to college; maybe i'll skip higher education and come geek with you? ♥

and ohlordy, pictures? >< i fear.

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

Fear NOT, for you are splendiforous and boootiful! *lipsmack* :D

[moondroplette.livejournal.com]

dude. your shirt ROCKS. anyone who doesn't talk to someone with a shirt like that is a losah.

and...Lupin? moustache? whatwhat?

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

I know! I rule. *prances* ;-)

Go to the-leaky-cauldron.org and see the Newsweek photos -- there's lots of the Trio, plus Remus and Sirius in the Shreiking Shack. And there is much controversy about it. *G*

[moondroplette.livejournal.com]

well, yes, I saw the photos...but I didn't see a moustache?

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

It may or may not be a porn tache, there seems to be much speculation about whether it might be a misleading shadow. I'm hoping it is. *grins*

[airemay.livejournal.com]

About time you updated! You really need to find a way to visit me here before I explode, or I will be forced to kidnap you! And I will! You won't like my car either; it's black and really, really hot. Muah.

[trakkie.livejournal.com]

You will most definitely not end up like that old man. I don't even know you that well, and I think you're amazing. So yes. Eventually, you will find fellow geeks who think you're amazing to.

I know how being at a movie like that feels though - when I first moved to Atlanta, I would go to the movies by myself, and just feel sad when I saw all the other people my age with each other. It'll get better though, I'm sure. *hugs*

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

Eeeee. Am amazing. *squee* :D

Where are all the geeks hiding! Come out, come out wherever you are!

[ragdoll.livejournal.com]

I think Lorraine's got Neil pretty well covered. Plus if you worked for him, it would mean moving to Wisconsin which is actually a fate worse than death. Believe me, I've been there. I know. ;-)

I noticed all sorts of runes and other mystic symbols all over Gaz's chest -- wonder if all prisoners in Azkaban get subjected to being human astrological charts or not. I'm still kind of leery about Alphonso directing -- he said a few things in that Newsweek article which make me worry a bit (mostly about the kids wearing 'hip clothes' -- if they're dressed like that at school, I'm going to be annoyed).

I'm glad you're surviving in California though -- glad to see a post by you again after so long. xxx

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

I know I could never take the place of The Amazing Lorraine, but it's nice to dream. ;-)

Have you seen the Newsweek photos? Hermione's wearing pink (UGH), but at least she's gotten rid of those godawful white tights. *cringe*

I haven't seen you in ages, you silly goosey. *hugs* :)

[ragdoll.livejournal.com]

I don't think anyone could take Lorraine's place! I've met her and she truly is amazing esp. when she's plastered on 100 yr old Scotch. LOL

I did see the Newsweek photos courtesy of The Leaky Cauldron Site (um, the-leaky-cauldron.com, I think). The pink hoodie was a bit much but maybe it won't be all the way through the film?!

I haven't seen you either, sadly. I wish you were coming to NY -- Unca Neil is doing a signing next Friday. I think lucy_anne and I are going.

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

Whinge.

If you have a chance, please tell Neil 'Nevvie says Hi' and is very sorry that she never got to greet you at Comic-Con. Or give you hugs. And snogs. Okay okay, maybe not that last part. *giggles*

Have fun snuggums! *smooch*

[ragdoll.livejournal.com]

I will most certainly do that. He's used to me passing along messages to him and vice versa. LOL

Believe me, if I could snog him for you, I'd certainly do it. Any excuse, really! ;-)

*RAVAGES*

[brandybuck.livejournal.com]

You? Are getting sex. And lots of it.

Because when I opened my package, I shrieked and creamed myself.

*wuffs her Nevviekins with the fiery passion of an anteater on a pogo stick (which, if you think about it, is quite a lot!)!!*

WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

*rotflmao!*

Thank you SO much my love, you have given me the first reallybigNevviesmile I've had in ages. (The people in the library are looking at me funny, and I don't care! Wheee!)

Which package would this be? Did you get the Con goodies already? Don't forget, I still have to send you your Adult Swim t-shirt, and possibly some naked photos. Hee. ;-)

I'm so happy you liked your pressies! Had no idea you'd like 'em that much though. Damn I'm good. *smugsmug* *laughs*

Love you! :D

[mamaslyth.livejournal.com]

You'll never end up alone. We'll send out scouting parties to hunt you down and *pouncehuggle* you.

We're just trying to raise the funds first, but don't worry, we should have something before you start drawing retirement.

[eyre-lasgalen.livejournal.com]

First off THANK YOU FOR THE AWESOME WICKED MINION!!!!!!

You keep sending me excellent things and I haven't found anything good for you yet. I will have to scavenge Ebay and shop on the weirdo Queen St west in Toronto to find something for you. Don't be surprised if I order you something, and have it sent directly to you. ;)

I wish I could go to Monty Python with you. I think it's an excellent idea to go to see movies like this to try and meet people. The best way to meet folks with the same intersts as you is to do things that you like. So what if everyone there was in a loud group? At least you tried. Keep trying. Don't lock yourself up alone and never face the world, because you'll never meet geekycute boys that way!

You'll find a job soon enough, don't worry. Try at funky weird cool places where you can have purple hair and fit in.

I'm going to call you very soon, I promise. Was going to do it tonight, but I'm not sure how the long distance works to US and must wait to ask mum.

Cheers!!

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

Hee!

I knew you'd want your very own minion. Isn't he cuuuuuute? I've got a suave, classily evil Monkey. Bwahahaha.

Call me woman! Sheeesh. One might think you don't care for me anymore. :-P

[ex-glassappl719.livejournal.com]

Move to Canada! Calgary! Hang out with us! We're all a bunch of geeks! (And there are plenty of cute single geeky boys waiting for lovely girls!)
I mean, most of them are roommates living at a house and calling their LAN network "Chez Geek". (Named after the game, of course!)

And I know it sounds trite now, but you won't end up as that guy. There *is* someone out there who'll appreciate you (and your Don't Panic t-shirt - in fact, he'll probably have one with 42 on it), and who you will find happiness with.

(I am serious though - if you're ever travelling through Canada, make a stop here and we'll all group together and geek out.)

*hugs Nevvie*

SQUISH!

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

*laughs*

Canada rules! If it wasn't so bloody cold I'd move tomorrow. I know lots of tremendously fun and interesting people there, and of course everyone is so damn friendly it makes you want to spit. *giggles*

Geekgeekgeek. Well, I have been wanting to go on a road trip...;-)

[burningtoast.livejournal.com]

I certainly didn't expect Sirius to be a pretty boy. In fact, I was pretty damn disappointed that I couldn't find anything negative to say about Oldman in the latest pic. The age, clothes, general look of desperation - all spot on. It's Remus that's troubling me - not David Thewlis, but the costume. Too soon to judge, I know, but why is he wearing a suit coat? Is he teaching history at some university on the side?

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

Remus does look disconcertingly like an Oxford don. Which can, of course, be v.sexy, it's just not Lupin.

[queeniefox.livejournal.com]

You've got to keep going out and doing just what you did at the cinema. Never give up, because you're a great, lovely person and sooner or later you'll find people who appreciate you. And I know it's hard, but you should try and make the first move - what's the worst that can happen? This from the girl who can never find the courage to talk to people - I'm such a hypocrite!

Lupin has a moustache?

[ixwin.livejournal.com]

*snuggles*

good for you for trying - sorry it didn't work out. big laughing groups when you're on your own...*shudders* not nice I know.

you will not be that guy I promise.

[ashfae.livejournal.com]

You don't post as much as you used to. I'm all sad and missing you. *pout, pout*

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

Ai! Don't be sad my love, I'm trying my best to post as often as possible, I really am.

I miss you too. Gods, I miss you so much. I saw Boulder on telly this morning and thought of you and siiiiiiiiighed. *hugs you tight*

I object!

[kefiv.livejournal.com]

No exploding of the Borghal Rantipole! He's my minion!

And you are so not going to be that guy. I'm going to abduct you to Portland. ::nods::

Re: I object!

[angelislington.livejournal.com]

I await your chariot of kidnappiness with big shiny bells on. ;-)
