Help! My social life is eating me. Quick update - Last week there was Oleanna with
snow_leopard, a deadly sexual psychological power game between student and teacher, with Julia Stiles the initially submissive broken student upping the stakes until she has the lecturer fully under her control. Wow. Has to been seen to be believed. Over a very extended pizza and cocktails lunch (3 hour lunch breaks are not considered unusual...) myself and the lovely
791point43 formed a workable plan for global domination (plans are secret but involve an elvish free love commune in Siberia) so expect the apocalypse once I've eaten all my chocolate. Emily invited me around to
happygoff's place to watch Spirited away - pretty film! Yaaay! And they told me their big news -
happygoff and Chewi are getting married! In a forest! How faby fab fab fab! Lovely neo-folk tunes of Death in June gig on Friday - good to see lots of people there - returned long lost-boots to
fluffymormegil, hugged
rowan_leigh, found
panzerpenguin on the music stall, chatted enthusiastically about Estonia, Finland and gay Nick Cave duets with the delightful
caro7 and
mal1 (a shocking rare public appearance), ate the fine vegeterian buffet food (how civilized) while listening to what can only be described as apocalyptic lounge music, a musical genre previously unknown to the world. Located
surje just as Death in June appeared, and I was happy and blissed out by good music. Yaaaaay! At the weekend, talented
the_alchemist stunningly organized a fantastic readthrough of Daisy pulls it off, that topping parody of schoolgirliness with severe lesbian undercurrents.
yvesilena and
casby hosted and Yves played the most natural and perfect Trixie ever, so no surprises there.
mirabehn was Daisy herself, so we had the joy of yet another stunning Elly-Yves double act, which always somehow just works. I can't not mention the wonderful accents -
lzz's French accent is unbelievably fab,
ixwin worked a great Irish accent for Alice, and
doseybat produced an authentic Russian accent for Mr Scoblowsi, but thats cheating because she's actually Russian. And everyone else was fab too. There was the usual chaos after, and
evil_nick has photos of the the ensuing pillow fight and tickle fight I had with
doseybat. Bizarrely,
mirabehn challenged me to an Arm Wrestling, followed by
ixwin and
yvesilena, none of whom proved easy for me to beat, but I was narrowly the victor, possibly only as I had the sitting-on-
kmazzy's-lap advantage. Yay! Monday meant a lovely bookgroup BBQ with Catherine and Rachael. Yesterday I delivered presents-from-Moscow (Shishkin prints) to
alektoeumenides' mum who was delighted by them. And inevitably, I was fed until i was stuffed. No wonder I'm putting on weight again (hooray for that - finally!). Today I was highly pleased to meet with the huggable
taimatsu for lunch and chat about Trowbridge plans involving wonderfully strange musical instruments and lewd songs. *giggles*
Cambridge has a highly tempting combination of bouncing to 80s music and proper beer this weekend, so I plan to invade if I can persuade someone foolish enough to give me somewhere to sleep. please please please?
Plus I plan to celebrate the fabness that is the Central Line now running 30 minutes later at night by going to Electric Dreams sometime soon (like, you know, next Monday?) . Because, I can now do that and still get home not too late on a school night. And because I've not been there in far too long and I miss it horribly. Waaah. Anyone else tempted?
And lots of good luck and best wishes from me to anyone about to start exams. *fingerscrossed*

(Btw, have you got your tickets yet? *is not too sozzled to cease being Elly ;) *)
'Twas lovely to see you on Saturday m'dear. And I can't tell you how much of an ego-boost that arm-wrestling match was. You have a considerable amount of visible muscle-tone and making you work for your victory showed me how far I've come in recovery from the M.E. better than many things that might seem more obvious to others who aren't me. I've been feeling bizarrely confident ever since. So, thank you for agreeing to wrestle with me. :)

Thanks for reminder, must get tickets for me and
You very nearly won the arm wrestling. I could feel my strength was just giving out, and just when I expected to lose, somehow I didn't. If you recover any more from your M.E. then next time you'll win. Yay Elly! :)

Can we take over the world yet? I'm getting impatient and bored.

Date: 2004-05-27 03:19 pm (UTC)My plan is to arrive sometime around 7:30-8pm in Cambridge tomorrow and get food and tart up for 80s night - would you be at home then for me to get changed at your place? Send me an email with your address - I don't think I have it anywhere. The there will be bouncing, then I crash at yours.
And then beer on Saturday. :)

Date: 2004-05-26 04:29 pm (UTC)Are you thinking of going to the beer festival during the Saturday? I should be back in Cambridge and was thinking of going then.

Date: 2004-05-27 03:21 pm (UTC)Will be sorry not to see you there, but have fun whatever you're up to.
I'll be going to drink beer on the Saturday, probably during the afternoon - find me there then! :)

Date: 2004-05-27 02:07 am (UTC)Yay! Friday! I'm planning on giving myself time off and coming out, at least for a bit, and trying to drink sensibly.
Mind you, I said I'd work today, and that doesn't seem to have happened yet, so in theory the drinking sensibly part won't either...
