my weekend
Friday
my train was perfectly on time and lovely lovely
evil_nick and
mirabehn picked me up and took me to their spiffy wonky house which was built in 1664 (i think) and is all slanty everywhere. i hit my head on the ceiling a bit. they fed me tea (WOMEN'S tea no less) which is always good.
then Naomi and Rhiannon arrived and we drank more tea and ate curry and watched Friends. Elly and i did some last minute sewing and then we went to bed.
Saturday
party day! more last minute sewing was done, and some party preparations, then Nick drove us all to reading to meet everyone else. we managed to get everyone into the cinema, and also back to the house where we put up the last minute decorations and sorted out some drinks. and Naomi and Rhiannon started cooking some dinner.
here's who i met:
mirabehn aka Frodo - gorgeous big brown eyes, very very very lovely, completely too nice for her own good, i want to steal her and have her around all the time cos she makes me feel perky and happy
evil_nick aka Eomer - too nice and far too obliging, girly - in the best way a man can be, incredibly thoughtful and sweet and also needs to be stolen for optimum Kathryn feelgood factor
ixwin aka cross dressing female hobbit (lusty hobbit wench) - owns the cutest cuddly pig ever, little and cute (
olinima - she looks kind of like Laura) and very friendly, which is good for people who don't know anyone!
Matt aka Gandalf - had a particularly incredibly beard and moustache and hair combo, likes Eddie Izzard (yay) and is supernice
the_alchemist aka Eowyn - has the longest loveliest hair by far, is too talented in too many areas, and is v similar to Polly (this info is for you
olinima since you are the only person who knows Polly...), also has a fab sword
fluffymark aka Arwen - has the pointiest boots i have ever seen and the fluffiest hair, was wearing a spiffing dress and talked about sex all night - even MORE THAN ME!
andrewwyld aka Legolas (crossed with Jareth) - had the most strokeable footwear and the tallest hair (but the people behind in the cinema could see over it), sang Labyrinth songs which endeared him to me muchly, far too clever and most of his jokes went whoosh over my dense little head
gnimmel aka Ent Maiden - very very very pretty indeed, quiet, very pretty, had adorable leaves, and did i mention that she's incredibly pretty? i wish i had talked to her more... (just so i could gaze upon her prettiness...)
purplepiano aka Merry - looks uncannily like a hobbit (apart from the height) seems to be too talented in the field of music and the like
yvesilena - looks like Arwen, very kindly lent me her boots for taking pictures (thank you Yves!), once wrote a story with
the_alchemist about BushBose the EntDog that Elly and I are very keen to read, had to leave early - i was sad about this
angelislington aka Pippin (in 21st century clothes) - more knowledgable about Tolkien than frankly is healthy, did a very good photo taking service (thank you Nevvie), much much louder than me (eee!)
also Naomi and Rhiannon who made a lot of tea and dinner (and second breakfast) and are lovely all over were there but not dressed. then Nic T, Nick P, Mark and Rebecca who i don't know if they have journals or not, but they did not have much party activity (esp Nic T who had gone home cos of poorly lack of wisdom teeth - awww). i hope i didn't forget anyone...
ooof. that might be enough for this post. i will have to type what we actually did tomorrow.
however i would like to once again point out that that i absolutely adore Elly (and Nick). very very very very much INDEED! *love*

Yay! Do scan in and post! I'd love to see it.
We must definitely make them put that fic online...
*hugs*
It was so lovely to see you both! Nick and I are likely to be in Hitchin the weekend of 15th-16th Feb, btw. Any chance of meeting up?
lots of love,
Elly
