Fragile butterfly

[fluffymark]

It seems really obvious now I've thought of it. Of course there's a huge positive correlation between being a social butterfly and getting ill frequently. It makes perfect sense that it works that way. For at least the last month I've been flitting around in a very un-hermitlike way. I can't even recall the last evening I wasn't doing something with someone, and inevitably earlier this week I fell ill again with some really strange illness and had to stay at home for a few days. Actually it seems that I was probably ill the whole of last weekend but just failed to notice! ooops! I'm such a ditz! I thought my body was just complaining of overindulgence and general decadence, but no, I was ill! Anyway, I'm fine again now, but I have been wondering how it came to be that such a bad hermit. I'm trying very hard to be antisocial and stay in, but failing horribly. What am I doing wrong? *handonforehead*

Still, I had lots of wonderful visitors while being ill, to stop me going stir crazy watching Sailor Stars (eek nasty monster ... sparkly magical girl transformation sequence ... magical girl attack sequence ... yay we win!) all day long, and there has been fun things involving absinthe rituals and the like. That's a point - I've got FAR TOO MUCH alcohol in the house at the moment and anyone who wants to visit and help me indulge is more than welcome. *sparklysmile*

Tomorrow I'll be FINALLY getting to the London - Life in Maps exhibition, and later in the evening doseybat, antipodienne and myself will drowning our melancholy at Feeling Gloomy. Anyone else want to join us being gloomy? Even the moon will be all dark and gloomy! And you know, theres the usual sparkly Games at the Pembury from 4pm on Sunday where we will all take over the world. Or take over the words, depending on which game you play.

Plus, looking ahead, there's a fab Ceilidh next Friday (March 9th) which should be lots of fun. mirabehn, mostly_a_cat, taimatsu are you still interested? Anyone else?

Um ooops, I'm being a bad hermit again, aren't I? I JUST WANT TO STAY IN AND WATCH ANIME! MWAH! IS THAT SO HARD? *sulks*

I don't think I can come to this one, as I am likely to be on my way to Manchester or York. How often are they?

[fluffymark]

I think you'd love them, so it'd be nice to have you come sometime. I think they're only once a month, and we don't make it along there every month as it clashes with other things (such as B-Movie). There are surely other groups organising Ceilidhs in London, especially around St Patricks Day, so maybe it's worth me hunting for them.

We should meet up again soon anyway, it's been a while and I miss seeing you! :)

From the website, they're once a fortnight, and mostly_a_cat and I intend to go as often as possible.

However, next week our presence may be impeded depending on how things are going for Nick at work...

[taimatsu]

I do really want to come! I used to do ceilidh dancing at university so it's something I've enjoyed in the past.

As for meeting up, yes please! Not sure when yet - I have a really huge work backlog, so I need to get a grip on that before I plan much else into my diary. But I'll see how I'm doing by the middle of next week and then we could organise something :)

*hug* I miss you too!

[fluffymark]

I knew you'd done Ceilidh dancing before. Always lots of fun!*nods*

Let me know when you've sorted out your diary and we'll arrange something, yes! :)

[fluffymark]

*pokes Nick's work with the pointy stick* They're being meanies and keeping the Nick from us! Wah!

Ooooh, so they are once a fortnight. They used to be only once a month. But very very popular, so maybe they're doing it more often now. This is good! :)

Ooh, we were just at the maps exhibition. Loads of interesting stuff - a bit of an overload on maps by the end, for me, but you know more about London than I do so you'll get more out of it I should think.

It was pretty crowded, what with it being the second-to-last day, and presumably it'll be worse tomorrow. But there were those display drawers with more maps in them, which are always fun to pull open. Some of them were empty; I'd have hidden a secret message in one of them if I'd known you were going along tomorrow.

[fluffymark]

Sounds promising! I do LOVE maps! So I'm really looking forward to it! Hope it's not too crowded *hugs maps*

Ah, I missed the maps exhibition. :(

There was once a map on display in an art gallery in Southampton of all the drinking establishments, which they used to give to sailors when they landed. Perhaps there are other maps lurking there, or if not, I shall draw my own maps!

[fluffymark]

I shall look out for ye-ancient-pub-crawl maps of London, while I'm there. They surely must exist.

The sailor moon live action series is great fun.

[fluffymark]

I've not seen Sailor Moon live action - it sounds WRONG and BAD. I'm really scared now.

[fluffymark]

The maps were lots of fun, although the queue to get in wasn't. Fortunately I had my new mp3 player toy with me, so I happily floated off into music-land for half-an-hour and then pounced on all the pretty maps.

[fluffymark]

*nods* As I said, I'll join you. :)

It is right and good and you must watch!
