Gosh, look at the sheen on that - remind me to buy some mattifying powder. Everyone else looks smashing though, esp. Anna in the pic with Bill & Illmatic.

it's a perfectly wonderful photo of you, don't self-depricate. I for one am more concerned about the interdimensional gateway which seems to appear behind anyone JtB takes a piccy of...

Well KCC I feel that my Slytherin side shows through in that photo- I can almost see the beginning of a sneer though god knows why. Also I have no recollection of any of these photo's being taken... particularly that last one.

Well, I'm sure I would have had a *lovely* time, if some fuckwit hadn't emailed me a map I couldn't print off, and hadn't included a phone number to contact if things went awry, and if the rain-sodden streets of Chorleywood actually had something as useful to non-residents as signs with street names on, so that the directions I'd written down after reading the map could actually have been followed. And if even if I *had* number, I couldn't get a reception on my on my phone for about a quarter of a mile in any direction from the station.

At least everyone else had a good time. I just caught a cold from getting soaked through, used up the last of my favourite and irreplacable silver eye-shadow and blew out a friend. More fool me.

Quite frankly that didn't sound tongue in cheek. You just called me a fuckwit. How am I meant to react to that Kooky? Nice.

Um, that was harsh Kooks, but then, it was kinda hard to find. It took me an hour. An hour which i thoroughly enjoyed, mind, but only 'cos I was ripped to the tits and would have been grinning like an idiot whatever I'd been doing.

* changes subject wildly to avert catfight *

Why, did I mention I saw His Holiness Bob Holness, Patron Saint of TV Kitch, on the train on the way there?

I mean, you couldn't copy directions on to paper from the map, you had no one's number from the party or from Barbelith for that matter because there are quite a few people who have mine, you couldn't have emailed me your number and said you were definitely coming because sweetheart you were that blase about it I assumed you weren't going to be there and you call me a fuckwit.

I sent you a map so you wouldn't get lost.

Dudes...

Rolleyes, etc. Kooks - set, spooky and I got it together enough to get there from Southampton. mix mage and potguns came from Birmingham. Everyone else managed to arrive in one piece...

Besides, Anna's a honey, not a fuckwit. You spelled it wrong, see?

Jack, the reason therre are no pictures of my is because I am the one behind the camera.

The blonde talking to Anna is one that upon discovering my age exclaimed, "wow, you're really old"

Depressing, I thought I was a young spring chicken.

I mean, you couldn't copy directions on to paper from the map,

No, I did copy the direct route from the station to your road, just not all the other parts around it. I know it's not your fault that the roads that I needed to know the name's of so I could see them on the map were the very ones that did not have name-signs to say what they were, and that the ones that did not seem to affect my direct route were the ones that were named. I wasn't assigning the blame for that on you.


you had no one's number from the party or from Barbelith for that matter because there are quite a few people who have mine

No. The only Barbelith people whose numbers I have are all people who weren't going to the party. I wasn't going to try to get a hold of them on the off chance that they could give me the number of someone who might have your number, who I would then have to try on the off chance that those people did have your number. And I was fairly certain that the people whose numbers I do have don't have your number in any case. Though this almost a moot point since I would have had to stand in the middle of the common in the pouring rain just to get a reception on my phone. Again, I was not assigning blame on the weather or the poor phone signals anywhere near your direction. I do, however, still think it's fairly fuckwitted to invite people to your party and not provide them with any kind of contact number, that's all. (And yes, I know Jack and Spooky and set made the party okay. They had your number, or you theirs, right? I remember you posted a thread saying you needed to get hold of them to say they needed to get the other train, and that you'd managed to do so, so that was okay for them)

you couldn't have emailed me your number and said you were definitely coming because sweetheart you were that blase about it

No, you're right. I could have done that. I wasn't being blase about it though, more extremely pressed for time because I haven't been online much more than about four or five hours in the entire week since I stopped working and most of that has been spent with planning important things in my life like where I am going to be living for the next few months and so on...

And I was hardly being blase about it when I sent you a PM on July 9th that I would try to make it, and could I please have the directions was I? It's not like I RSVPed at the last minute.

I sent you a map so you wouldn't get lost.

And I did appreciate it, even though it wasn't much help because there are hardly any street signs in Chorleywood. I know that's not your fault! It didn't stop me getting lost, drenched through to the skin, and severely disappointed and then somewhat pissed off about the whole situation, though. And I still maintain that, even if I hadn't emailed you my number, as the hostess, you could have emailed yours when you sent the directions...

I really don't -- and didn't -- want this to descend into catfight territory. I was disappointed that I hadn't managed to get there because of such a stupid thing as no street signs, and that I had got a cold from getting soaked to the skin. A phone number might have made things a little easier is all. I was posting that with my tongue in my cheek, as I said.

[Oh, and in case anyone didn't see it, I'm not trying to cause any confusion or aggro about the name, either]

I had to get someone to read your post for me in case I'd go mental again. I'm having a bad few angry days- I totally blame the heat. I've lost my fucking mind. Anyway...

there were a few people without my numbers and I was worried about all of them except you because I wasn't sure if you were coming. That's really why I was so snappish because I felt guilty that I wasn't worried about where you were. I know it sounds ridiculous but that really is it and I totally over-reacted to your post and I apologise entirely.

As for the name thing I recall you telling me that you were considering changing it months ago so good-o and all that jazz!
