purplerabbits at 08:08pm on 29/02/2004Well I've managed to have a pleasant weekend and actually socialise, which is good. I am coming to the conclusion that Goth events will be bad for me in the near future, though, since I seem to get stressed out every time I even think about going to one, which is why I wasn't at Goth Moths or the Fashion Show. I have been careful not to promise to go to such things for a while now, as I don't want to be letting people down, so I hope no-one is offended. And if you miss me terribly you know how to contact me!
Anyway, on to the good things that I *can* enjoy. Friday me and Jon went to the Peter Hamilton/Ken McLeod reading at Waterstones, and then on to the Abbotsford with Ken, Peter, Andrew,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
autopope, feorag and assorted other reprobates including a very charming Linux geek whose name I immediately forgot. We both got drunk quite early and decamped back to mine in time to catch the offie and continue to get plastered and chat for hours. I forgot to mention, by the way, that the 23rd was mine and Jon's sort-of anniversary. Nine years we've been sleeping together and it's still great - the other night we completely failed to put on a DVD for four hours because we were caught up in an interesting conversation, and the sex is still bloody good as well...
But I digress. Saturday morning I dithered and fretted about The Bring and Buy and was a lot happier when I decided not to go. Instead I did some useful stuff like washing things, and some less useful things like make new icons. Then in the eveningskx dropped round with DVDs and pavlos visited, which was very pleasant even though my computer set-up continues to cause confusion. I blame the leyline that we clearly have running through the living room. Then I want to Emma and Ian's party and saw Anna and Ben (who's cut his hair off and who I haven't seen for two years) and Celine and Chris and Alison and other people WANOLJ. And I didn't want to come home till 4am, when me and Jon came back here.
And today I paid bills and stuff and went out and got a new Treo, which is now charging. Am happy.

I tried to pick up the walker just now, and I think I probably need a hand to get it into the car and over to your place due to heaviness, so if you could come over, I can give you and it a lift into town and up the stairs. I could probably do this next Sunday, though I do want to catch the Cindy Sherman exhibition at the Modern Art Gallery before it finishes - would Sunday evening suit?
