That's it. This is the pasty I'm gonna die in

After much deliberation, S. is coming home. No I do not know when yet, but it will be soon.

Yesterday I attended White Mischief's retelling of the Castle of Bluebeard story which was great fun. It was within a 1700 Georgian mansion and in addition to the live ghost story the club was good fun. I was impressed how everyone was dressed up and it was like one of those parties you see in films and scoff at for being unrealistic.

Tonight I will be meeting friends for a friends stag/hen thing, I expect there will be more clubbing and drinking.

In between all this socialising I took all the recycling out and re-arranged my room. This was long overdue and I feel a lot better for doing it. So now some dinner before I go out.

See you all soon.

P.

I don't know how to write all this stuff in a clever or witty way today so I am just going to start hitting the keys. Hopefully in the right order.

S. injured herself in the USA and is still ill as a result. They are threatening to send her home because (as a result of her injury) she CANNOT do the work. This seems unfair to her and I am obviously worried that she is still unwell. Not a lot I can do from here, but I did persuade her to go to the Doctor for the umpteenth time. Of course, in the US, this means she is racking up a massive medical bill which she needs to resolve.

The Clockwork Quartet has now sold out for the saturday evening performance, but tickets are still available for the thursday and friday performances. I get more and more excited about this as the days count down.

My calendar looks quite busy for the next few weeks which is always good, though it looks like I will miss out on the Sci-fi-London Oktoberfest meaning I won't have gone to either of the Sci-fi-London film festivals this year. I have always gone to SOMETHING each year. This is a little sad.

I need to see all my close friends whom I haven't seen in a while.

P.

Tickets are now on sale for The Clockwork Quartet.

Honestly, I think people will be blown away by the talent of this group.

So, in the past week I have downloaded and enstalled Skype and a webcam, allowing me to talk to S. and my Dad for free and see each other. This is much nicer than a phone call. If you want to speak to me this way let me know.

In a way this is good because it means I can talk to S. but also makes me miss her because I am reminded I cannot wrap my arms around her.

On saturday there was a production meeting for the Clockwork Quartet and we attended the rehearsal which was very encouraging. I think people will be blown away by the talent of the musicians and I shall certainly do all I can to make them shine.

On sunday I danced the Minuet at Valentines Mansion, which I think was a success. I didn't make any MASSIVE mistakes and the mistakes I did make we covered for pretty slickly. Ruth and Will came to watch.

Then sunday evening I just wanted some time to myself so I watched all of 'We are Klang' and made a start on series 5 of 'Peep Show'. I am sorry I had to miss my friend Jase's birthday party but as shown, I had commitments I could not break.

And you, will wait for me
And I, will wait for you.#

S. is now in the USA. Follow her exciting adventures over at The Constellation of Zan which I created for her. I'll add a link to the sidebar.

S. now being in the USA has caused me to generally mope around and sigh deeply whenever I get a free moment. I expect this to continue for some time. I am of course, very excited and happy for her, but I miss her terribly.

In other news it is Summerfest this weekend, where I will probably run around like crazy with plot and stuff. But hopefully it will be fun.

Until I see you next!

THAT'S THE POWER OF HUG

Jen sent me this song on facebook so I thought I would share it here.

#Fragile...he is a knight in shining armour...whenever there is a disaster...look to fragile for he is the friendly giant....fragile...he is the friendliest and caring guy you will ever know...fragile...he would dress up and pretend to be a snow........man...fragile....the best vegetarian sword fighter....fragile....(i could go on and on...but thats my new song...!!)#

Jen, amongst others have remarked that I am quite huggable. S. says that hugging me is like the first sip of tea, it just makes things that bit better, it just sets you right. I don't know if I have a special way of hugging, or what x-factor makes me huggable but whatever it is I am glad because I like hugging and it it good for you to hug.

So hug someone today if you are able :)
