After sleeping off a harsh week at work, I got up at noon yesterday, did some urgent housework and other things that needed doing and then headed off in the early evening to Hitchin' pick up [livejournal.com profile] vierkilau.
Found out that listening to one of [livejournal.com profile] sogoth's industrial/noise mixes while driving is weird because you keep thinking something's wrong with the car. ;o)
I only managed to find Vierkilau's after a phonecall (bloody subsequent numbering and non-existing numbers on the front of houses). Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] vierkilau's l33t navigation skillz found the way to the A1(M) and then to the House of Plot in Egham.
[livejournal.com profile] sea_cucumber was still unconscious when we arrived so we just chatted a bit until [livejournal.com profile] eggwhite and Steve (LJ?) arrived from their shopping trip.
[livejournal.com profile] sea_cucumber was taken out of her coma and pelted with presents. Superhero Cthulhu really left a mark, also with other people ;o)

Was a much good party with fun people, good cheese (both real and music), dancing, joking, talking, drinking (not too much on my part, mostly white wine and cider and a Bailey's coffee made by [livejournal.com profile] eggwhite).
My Greek salad was a reasonable success, only one portion left which I'm going to have with dinner tonight.

Quote/scene of the evening:
[livejournal.com profile] inquis: Oh no, I dropped some cheese down my cleavage!
Me: I'm not getting it out for you!
I only realised what I had said when [livejournal.com profile] doris and [livejournal.com profile] themadone complained and tutted at me. Well, if they hear only half a conversation, they are to blame if they think dodgy thoughts.

I was quite amazed at [livejournal.com profile] satyrica sleeping on the floor while loads of people were still dancing, sometimes narrowly missing his head.

Oh, and Winamp visualisations on a huge widescreen TV are funky. :o)

Rolled up on the floor at about 2am, got up just before 9 after having been awake for about an hour. Suddenly realised that everyone else was up apart from Adam so got up and missed coffee :o(. Packed, said goodbye to people, dropped [livejournal.com profile] vierkilau off at home, stopped over at Tesco's for urgent shopping (never again on a Sunday late morning!), got home had breakfast (various croissants and a mug of Blue Mountain coffee).
More housework and other stuff in the afternoon, dinner plans are pasta with a porcini mushroom cream sauce and the leftover salad. Then early night in preparation for another busy week at work...

Nono, your navigation was fine. I wouldn't have found the way to the A1M or to the HoP without you.

I still find it weird when anyone not from School mentions Hitchin :) I'm from the A1(M) end myself, so getting to it only involves two left turns and the big Junction 8 roundabout :)
