So I and
sixth_light just met
gianp and his mate Scott. :D
it was actually pretty cool, although short because he only rang me at, like, half-past five and I needed to, um, shower and get dressed (when you aren't planning on leaving the house, these things happen, okay??!), but I saw him anyway. :p It was fun, in a deliriously talk-a-lot-because-if-you-stop-maybe-no-one-will-be-able-to-think-of-something-to-say way. So, yes, we chatted quite a bit, about what he did for NY, what I did for NY (strangely, the common factor was alcohol. Amazing.) We also drove around- well, Scott drove and the rest of us sat. He was pretty much exactly wat I expected-maybe a litle bit shorter- except for the accent, which was wierdly English, for an American New Zealander... perhaps that's just what you get when you mix American and New Zealand? (it was funny, I didn't know if I was going to see him or not but I was half-expecting a phonecall all day- he said he'd MSN me but then he left and I was pretty sure he wouldn't have any internet access, so it was pretty much the only way we were going to get in touch- and so I was kinda jumping at phone calls all day and then he rang and I totally knew it was him. :p I am so psychic. Anyway, I noticed the accent then, although it was more pronounced when we actually met.)
So anyway, that was fun! The rest of the day was totally boring though, except I started re-reading harry potter and the Legacy of the Light, this great novel-length HP/Dark is Rising crossover. (pre-OotP, fifth year fic, by Gramarye) And I tidied up a bit, grrrroooan.
ETA: ALSO! I was just reading the TV stuff and apparently Destiny TV is on at helf-past two tomorrow morning- and it's R-rated. Excuse me, family values?!

Date: 2005-01-02 07:49 am (UTC)Yeah, i re-read them from time to time. :D They're so good, I love Cooper's work altogether actually- I like the Boggart ones! & periodically I go on a burst of DiR fic- mostly Bran/Will which is Pretty and Cute. (I'm not an insane slasher, really... I ship Emily/Tommy and Ron/Hermione and, um, lots of other het ships, really...)

Date: 2005-01-02 08:33 am (UTC)Um. If he's still there tell him I say hi, even though the only time I talked to him you and I were a little drunk...
Re: you must tell me the gossip.
Date: 2005-01-02 08:46 am (UTC)Um, no, he's gone, he wasn't here. I would never, ever bring anyone round to this pit of slobbery and doom and dirty clothes. ;)
