Ahoy hoy!

[neverwhere]

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.

From hjartad's entry.

Pick your month and strike out what doesn't apply:

SEPTEMBER:
Suave and compromising. Careful, cautious and organized. Likes to point out people's mistakes. Likes to criticize. Stubborn. Quiet but able to talk well. Calm and cool. Kind and sympathetic. Concerned and detailed. Loyal but not always honest. Does work well. Very confident (Hahahaha!). Sensitive. Thinking generous. Good memory. Clever and knowledgeable. Loves to look for information. Must control oneself when criticizing. Able to motivate oneself. Understanding. Fun to be around. (Yes!) Secretive. Loves sports, leisure and traveling. Hardly shows emotions. Tends to bottle up feelings. Very choosy, especially in relationships.


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. :)

I am sadly unadept at Photoshop (as my woeful icons will attest ;-), and I assure you I have indeed met everyone in my photos.

I haven't even posted half of the pictures of me with famous people -- including the one of me and Alan. *smirks*

And all compliments eventually come round to me. It's the natural way of things. *preens* ;-)
