London. And a new computer. Phoenix Rising

[lady_karelia]

London. Hm. Dunno how to describe it. People seem to be getting more agressive every time I visit. But there is Mysteries, The Gap, and Neil's Yard Remedies, and there simply isn't any equivalent of either of those in Germland.

Then, there is my new toy. A sparkling white macbook. *preens* It is beautiful. It has GarageBand the latest version. And the entire iLife. So I'm happy. Very happy.

So, yeah. I'm one happy person.

As started by hogwartshoney, and followed up by charmed310, here's my list of people I would absolutely llllllove to meet at Phoenix Rising:

bambu345 - Not only the very best writer in the fandom, but a wonderful person as well - compassionate, willing to share joy to multiply it and willing to share pain to minimise it. What more can I say.

notsosaintly - She is the one who keeps me writing. Now, of course, I don't know if that's a good thing or not from someone else's point of view. But from my point of view, I will forever be grateful to her for encouraging me the way she did, has done, and still does.

snapesforte - She is the authority on Severus Snape, she writes brilliant stories, and she's simply awesome. I wish I had the guts to let me inner Death Eater hang out the way she does.

shiv5468 - She writes good stories and she's more opinionated than me. I so want to get some advice from her about how to become more opinionated.

larilee - Need I say more? Awesome author, awesome admin on Ash, awesome opinionated person. I know you're going to Canada *wrinkles_nose*, why can't you come to NO, too????

As for those I haven't mentioned, well, dears, you're the ones whom I will meet. :-)

We don't have any big stuff. :-) It wouldn't be worth shipping it anyways, seeing the eccletricity system is very different, and we'd have to spend a fortune in transformers etc.
Biggest item is probably the keyboard and the e-guitar - we're shipping those together with all the smaller stuff.

Dates for PR are May 17-21 I believe. And you're not really scared? ;-) Be afraid, dear, be very afraid. The Honey and I have started plotting, and we have Severus' help with it, too. No stopping us now. :-)

::nods:: True. When I worked in the international divisions at... er... Big Name Studio... I had to provide transformer/adapter kits to the junior executives when they'd travel abroad... along with the proper currency and important cultural taboos for the country they were visiting.

At least it will all pack fairly easily, and some of it you could probably ship early so it will be there upon your arrival. Although those rules may have changed in the wake of 9/11.

May 17-21? I'll check with my mom and the other senior family members. ::shakes head:: Nope, I'm not really afraid at all. I have Hermione and Molly Weasley in my camp... I'm not afraid at all! ::grins::

Packing won't be a problem, and what's more, I've already started. :-) The task doesn't look quite so daunting once a few boxes are filled.

The contents are nothing questionable, unless TPTB question my taste of books *snerk*.

Hermione and Molly, eh? Hermione is in our camp too, ya know, and Molly likes me because I share good recipes with her. :-))

::grins:: I can just imagine that you've started packing. This is just so very exciting. I'm so happy for your family. I cringe at the thought of packing all our books. We still have about 10 boxes of books in the garage we don't have room for in the house!

Hmmm... you're working on Hermione and Molly now? ::pouts... thinks::

I'll just have to offer some Slutty Lemonade to Ginny and the twins. ::giggles::
