neverwhere

~~A man with a tape recorder up his nose~~ An entry by Nevvie! Wooohooo! :D

I know, it's only been three months since my last entry, what could I possibly have to write about? Well, rather a lot, actually. *grins*

Firstly and most importantly... in three weeks I'm going to be in the UK! YAAAAYYYY!!

My dearest

ashfae is marrying

randomchris in Edinburgh, and I can't wait to go back. Sadly it's only for two weeks, but it's a start -- besides, Ash has promised to lock me in her closet and keep me forever and always, so I guess I'll just have to stay a bit longer. ;-)
I'll be in London (well, staying near Heathrow with the everwonderful

evil_nick and

mirabehn) from 6 - 10 March, and on the 11th we leave for Scotland, where I'll be at least until the 15th. I leave on the 17th, and I want to sneak in a night with

trianne before then.

Soooo.....who wants to meet me? YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO. *grins impishly*

Also, if there's anything American friends want from the UK (and vice versa) just let me know and I'll be happy to find it for you. Except of course Prince William, because I really don't think I'll be able to get near enough to stuff him in my suitcase. Sorry. *g* (OMG I'M GOING TO LONDON SQUEEEEEEE!)

Let's see...I attended the One Ring Celebration, which was just brilliant -- I saw Billeh again, and saw Dom, Sean and Elijah for the first time, met some fantastic new friends (*waves!*), spent time with my beloved Trish and her OTP

water_vole, fell even more in love with Guy, the bassist from World Without Sundays, laughed a lot, did some very silly dancing, and generally had the best time. I would go into more detail, but my actual stories are nowhere near as interesting as other peoples, and I don't have any pictures as my camera was stolen on the first day (I still can't believe a Ringer could be a thief. The very idea shocks and disturbs me) except this one, taken by

mailea, of me and the incomparable Peter S. Beagle, whom I basically 'hung out' with during the Con. Because I'm just THAT COOL. Bwahahahahaha. ;-)

Work is rubbish at the moment, and I'm loathing every minute of it, hurrah. It's tedious manual labour punctuated by periods of intense frustration at the hostile work environment (my two fellow freelance employees are a disgrace; one's a cruel bastard who does nothing but insult me to my face and stare at the wall instead of doing work, and the other is a drunken fratboy idiot who talks of nothing but getting drunk with his millions of friends, and is the antithesis of everything that is me) and extreme lack of respect and future prospects within the company. I work at between 45-55 hours a week, and I have nothing to show for it, except sore muscles, a bruised ego, and a somehow diminishing bank account. The only enjoyable aspect is being able to watch episodes of Lost two weeks before the rest of the world (next week's episode sucks people -- you have been warned) and occasionally previewing scenes from movies we're working on, like Wallace and Gromit and The Pink Panther. We're also doing the new Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy film, so I'm trying not to quit before I get a chance to see it. Heh.

I know there's so much more to say...but I'm sure you're all just pleased I'm back, so I don't need to waffle on forever. I never really went away, I'm just going to be a bit more visible. I promise. *squishes for everyone*

PS -- I love Neil Gaiman more than words could ever convey. That is all. :)
