pmsumner at 08:47pm on 22/09/2002... the post-meet annoying downer strikes.
I flew down to East Midlands yesterday and after much screwing around with busses that don't run as often as they claim, and don't actually advertise where they go to on their fronts, eventually found Rachel and Tom, who I wasn't expecting to see. Many hugs and more hugs and kisses and hugs again, then muffins, then home. Rachel's flat is gorgeous. Small, but gorgeous. Not sure whether the buildings recently been renovated but everything looks 'nice'.
Colin turned up, as did Keef, as did Rowan and Alexa, as also did Loraine and Sarah, and Gavin. Was fantastic to see many many people, especially Loraine, who I still think is absolutely lovely (but mad). Had fun, apart from later at night, when Rowan, Gav and myself were kind of abandoned by everyone else who was staying without anyone so much as a word. Apart from Col coming through for a cig. But morning came and Rach obviously realised something, because she did apologise, which made me feel very happy indeed.
The day came and went, nothing much. Best breakfast I have had in a LONG time. We found a small café down the road from Rach's house and all had the "Big Breakfast". Damn it was good and huge. Considering I hadn't eaten anything but a slice of pizza in the previous 48hrs, that filled me up quite nicely. And of course, who could forget those mugs of strong tea?
Col dropped me of at 'something circus' to catch the bus. Apart from nobody seemed to know where the bus went from. So as I was walking towards the police station to ask (I'd already asked everyone else I saw), I saw a group of people with cases and there was the sign of the EMA-Bus. Flew back (dizzy bint in front of me put her handbag under her seat. Anyone who has ever flown knows you put your bag under the seat in front of you. I was seriously tempted, very seriously tempted, to take her purse. Then I decided that I would only go and get caught, and pleased myself with my book.
Home now, on my own. I miss being able to jump on a train and be with Rach in an hour. Hell, I miss being able to jump on a bus and be with Caroline in 30 minutes. *sulks* I think I said "a right thing" to Rach earlier. I know she's worried about living on her own, this will be the first time, as previously it's been shared houses. It's going to be a challenge, and well... I know just how she feels. Demanded that she not be unhappy and that she talks to us all, else we'll go visit her there and stop her from being unhappy.
Good TV on at 8:50, Simpsons. Something on at 9pm that I can't remember what it is.
Another post to come, related in a way, to the meet stuff. Might be friends only. Who knows?

I think Tom had his own ideas too. Mostly involving her.
Anyhow, still wish I was closer to everyone :-\
