I, am not sober...

[matgb]

Got talked into going on the annual work boat trip (witha attached bar). Apparently you can't call the booze cruises any more, because someone decided that that was "encouraging binge drinking". Right, like Torquay harbourside is normally full of sober people.

Anyway, it was good. I'm a little drunk. Decided to leave before the rest went to the club as a) I hate nightclubs generally, b) Valbonnes is a really bad club c) I was happy, so leave on a high and d) meh, tired.

So, I am not sober, but am happy, and really must remember how good the bay looks at night from a boat, I keep forgetting. Probably ought to go out on the water more often, it's been ages since I went sailing or rowing, which is a bit daft really. Anyway...

Exeter people? Warning...

They let waka_laka in. Actually, given how crazy you all are, she'll fit in fine. Katie? http://xnet.ex.ac.uk/forums/

Haven't been there much for ages, but they're still pretty good, especially at this time of year. There are a few communities in my u-info worth a look at as well.

For serious, you make me out to be some sort of headcase :P

But I think everyone else went out to Valbonnes tonight. Maybe you saw them drunkenly cavorting around (with about half my year, I'd imagine)

You mean you're not? Seriously, given most of my friends are certifiably nuts, I suspect you'll fit in fine. I think someone set up an anime/manga thing a few years back, not sure if it's still going.

Didn't actually go to Valbonne, partially as I knew it would likely be full, but mostly because my flat is almost exactly half way between it and th eharbour and I had an attack of lazy...

[waka-laka.livejournal.com]

I was actually wondering about that. I think I'd be too chicken to start one up myself but I hope someone else does, I can't live without my anime fangirling :O

Aahah, I see :D

To be fair, it's not that hard to set something up. When you get 10-12,000 people together there's a lot of people interested in any given thing.

Xnet forums are probably your best bet, there's prolly enough people interested there you could set the ball rolling and hopefully have someone with organisational skill bring people together.

Eleven pages. Precisely zilch organised. Partially my fault.

"I think someone set up an anime/manga thing a few years back, not sure if it's still going."

No, there was always just talk of setting one up, but no one got organised enough to actually start it.

Unless people just didn't tell me and did it all in secret...

[fearmeforiampink]

For a while NetGamer effectively ran one, with the anime fans there occasionally using the Lemmy projector to watch stuff, but I don't know if that has fallen apart now.

If you weren't a headcase, you wouldn't fit in. Well not with us nuts.

What'cha going to be studying?

[waka-laka.livejournal.com]

That's kinda comforting. I think.

Psychology :D

[dainul.livejournal.com]

Have fun. With any luck Mark (Mapp here) might even graduate with a Psychology degree next year. He will have been going to Uni for six years. He hasn't failed a year. I've had to start a PhD to manage to still be a student.

Depending on your particular kinks, I may or may not see you in a couple of months, but have fun anyway.

[waka-laka.livejournal.com]

6 years?!

O.O

[dainul.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Sometimes I start to feel a bit old. Then I remember Matt :p

[waka-laka.livejournal.com]

Nice work, admiral. Way to inspire the troops. o.o

And you'll probably see me around at some point, I have really really big hair.

[dainul.livejournal.com]

What? He should be used to us mocking him by now.

Perhaps. I spend most of my time up in the air-con unit... err, physics building, so dunno.

Hmm... I need to get sheared at some point. The mop's getting far too thick.

[matgb]

Yup, mapp got unlucky. He was ill in his first year, tried again, was ill again, then switched course, or something.

His journal is worth a read regardless though, that boy can write.

[nadriel.livejournal.com]

Who is waka_laka?

[matgb]

She who replied above. She got metaquoted awhileback, and lives in Torquay; you know how I keep friending people that get MQ'd?

She'll fit in fine, although I haven't met her in person, she's obviously completely nuts just from the fangirling. I dread to think what would happen if you put her together with Laurence...

[dedbutdrmng.livejournal.com]

I am obeying your rules and telling you I have added you to my friends list. I came via Tyrell in an attack of nepotism because you said you liked TheSlant. And your journal is funny.

And this "Shame I can barely change lightbulbs, the oil in my car, pay bills, etc. If it's anything remotely practical, don't ask me." Was in your profile.

I know your pain.

Just wondered over to your via metaquotes, saw my sister's commenting there, then came back here to a friend's journal and ran into you again.

Damn incestuous gothic social circles :p

Re: Small world

[dedbutdrmng.livejournal.com]

I'm omnipresent at the moment, or so it seems.

Re: Small world

[dainul.livejournal.com]

grr... wondered -> wandered
your -> yours

Cosnidering how pedantic I am about such things, I really should proof-read more carefully.

Re: Small world

[matgb]

Best bit? He's working with tyrell on a new website. tyrell is an Exeter grad, and was in Fabulon 75 with Gareth and more than a few other mutual friends.

I think that between us we indirectly know everyone iwth an LJ in the UK...

[matgb]

Well, it seems we have more in common than that given Colin's comments. Was going to go back to read your journal properly today, so know I'll just hit the friend button anyway.

If it turns out you're a friend of Susie from the Wendy House then my world will implode with its smallness.

[dedbutdrmng.livejournal.com]

I think you're safe from implosion. Though it is possible I do know Suzie but not her name as I'm a little bit useless when it comes to names.

It's probably best you didn't read my journal, its stand out quality is its lack of content.

Yes, Valbonnes is a terrible club. Plus, it would've been even worse for you last night, since the entire year 13 of every secondary school in the area was in there...it was far far too crowded, and ridiculously hot. I don't understand why Venue didn't open like last year. But I still kinda enjoyed it..

[matgb]

I might've enjoyed it, but I do dislike crowded pubs. Did you see a bunch of nuts wearing yellow (fake)lifeguard t-shirts? That's who I'd have been with.

Not sure if I'd said well done, so will do so now again anyway, getting into Bath is cool.

[springhazsprung.livejournal.com]

Yus, I saw them. There were quite a lot of them...

Thank you ^__^ I'm really so relieved/happy I got in..
