Gathering of the pretty people - Part I

[fluffymark]

Wow. That was most fun. I've never had my place invaded by so many lovely pretty sparkly people before, and it makes me a very happy bunny that all these people came to my little abode and enjoyed themselves. Yaaaaay! :) In vague order of arrival, we had a erming, _nicolai_, doseybat, compilerbitch, emomisy, gnimmel, purplepiano, Joe, Penny, damerell, arkady, reddragdiva, redcountess, emarkienna, davefish, poetman, happygoff and Chewie.

Nicolai brought fab Pesto dip and the fastest disappearing chocolate fudge cake in the world. Joe and Penny made the yummiest mulled wine ever, and provided a purple fluffy xmas tree decoration! Damerell provided us with lethal hot sake. I made some awful punch, which someone must have drunk, as theres none left now. Everyone spent a long time admiring and exploring the whole rooftop. Everyone also had this urge to tickle little me to death- me an attention seeker? Never! :) There was much in the way of highly geeky conversation, although in a good way, of course. I bounced around being an energetic host, and failing to properly introduce people to each other. Ooops. There was some very odd music, and nobody played any games (*pout*), but everyone looked like they were having fun anyway (some having lots of fun...!). After the last carload departed to Cambridge at about 1AM, the hardcore party nutters kept going until 3AM. Claire phoned just as we were all going to bed, which was nice of her, if a little odd. All in all a most lovely party, the only casualties being my reputation and one wineglass.

*thankyouhugs* for all you pretty things that appeared (this makes me very happy) and even bigger *huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugs* to those of you who were unable to make it (I know who you are and you were very very much missed!).

Next weekend - Part II - same time, same place.

It was a most excellent party.
New people were met. Old people were mocked. Fine wines were consumed.

(I also appear to have failed to destroy our fileservers or their data this morning, so that makes the weekend pretty successful).

[tla]

Damn. I missed people *and* chocolate fudge cake?

Sniff.

[fluffymark]

If pretty people and chocolate fudge cake can't pursuade you to come to a party, then what can??? *boggles*

[redcountess]

who are you calling old? :-P

[compilerbitch.livejournal.com]

I wondered that too...

[http://users.livejournal.com/_nicolai_/]

Diva :)
and damerell.
(I didn't mock you)

[redcountess]

of course, I am 17 ;-)

[reddragdiva]

Just cos I'm 19!

[fluffymark]

Stop that - I have a habit of chasing after 18-19 year olds...

[reddragdiva]

Do you chase them, or just run away from them sufficiently slowly?

[fluffymark]

Yay! It was good to see you, and thankyou for all the lovely things you brought. Theres a CD wallet left behind, which I'm assuming is yours, I'll try and return it to you sometime soon. :)

(well done for being functional enough this morning to not destroy everything)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_nicolai_/]

CD wallet, circular made of black leather, containing among other things a Hocico and a BlutEngel CD? That's mine.

Bugger, I specifically tried to take it with me.

Well, now I have to come to your next party.

Muhahahahah...

[fluffymark]

You're very welcome to come to the next party (tomorrow) and rescue your errant CD collection :)

[lnr]

Sorry I couldn't be there, too many other commitments to choose from, and too much time to kill in London on my own if I'd stayed.

[redcountess]

you could have come home with us ;-)

[lnr]

I was thinking of the bit between lunchtime Saturday when I parted with Kitty and partyish time. But I'd love to see your place some time!

[fluffymark]

*hugs* you were missed. Hopefully you can make it to another party sometime? :)

[lnr]

I certainly do hope so, though possibly not this year. I need a break!

We are kind of considering Bmovie on the 12th though, so possibly see you there at least.

[fluffymark]

Yay B Movie! Do drag all the kittens along too. :)

[compilerbitch.livejournal.com]

It was indeed a great party. Thank you for putting up with all of us!

*giggles*

[fluffymark]

It was most fun, and *thankyou* for being able to let people stay later becasue you could drive them home - thanks to you the party avoided last-tube-home death.

Lets see if we can make next weekend even better! I'm sure we can. :)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_nicolai_/]

Seconded, door to door transport to Cambridge was very nice. I particularly appreciated not having to cycle home from the station with my developing cold.

[arkady.livejournal.com]

Um... it was me who drank all the punch! Hee! It wasn't that bad actually...

[fluffymark]

Glad to hear it was drinkable! :)

Now, when are those photos going to appear?? *scared*

[arkady.livejournal.com]

oh, thank you for reminding me! *grabs camera and starts downloading photos....*

[fluffymark]

Eeep! *runsaway*

[erming.livejournal.com]

I've put the film in for development, so in a weeks time or so will have pics of you being tickled :)

[doseybat.livejournal.com]

it was *fab* thank you *floats*

[fluffymark]

*bounce*
We will try and make your party even fabber :)

[ixwin.livejournal.com]

Yay! Glad it went well! Sorry I didn't make it (purely through my own fault of drinking too much the previous night, and having absolutely no constitution for alcohol these days).

Will do my level best to make it next weekend.

[fluffymark]

Ah ooop! We missed you! Mooop!

Hope you can make it tomorrow - you can see how the place looks like not buried under a mountain of boxes! :)

[damerell.livejournal.com]

I tried to scum you (successfully) for B-Movie crash space. Normally I wouldn't keep bugging after you said yes but it seems a B-Movie virgin friend of mine (don't parenthesise that wrongly, ya perv) will be coming so I'm kind of checking you remember and it's still going to be cool.

[fluffymark]

Yep I remember, and thats fine by me. :)

Who is this virginal friend of yours?

[damerell.livejournal.com]

Cool. Should I bring bedding (and remember to do it this time)?

She's a Helen - naath.

[damerell.livejournal.com]

However, she's bailed, so it's just going to be me after all...

mmm, pesto

Wish I'd seen this earlier - only found out about your party from Ian the other day (iirc) - maybe see you at Marna's in a few weeks?
