Highs and Lows

[jenepel]

So today was a boring day at work, but that's mostly because it was the Friday before a bank holiday, so half our staff was off. The office was SO quiet; it was freaky. Also, I was really looking forward to tonight, so the time went slowly. And then after work I went and met up with vegi_b and biscottimoment(Ina). YAY! I love meeting TWoPers in RL. Well, actually this was pretty much my first time, but it was so much fun. We just hung out, found a cafe, spent about an hour on public transport (lovely London), shopped for junk food, and then went back to mine to veg out. We watched Buffy and GG and ate poptarts. How cool is that? I actually got to watch GG with people who appreciate and love it - probably a first for me. And we are definitely hanging out more before they leave. So that's definitely a high. (Although you should have heard my mom when I said I was going to meet people I knew from the internet. She was so worried!)

And then to bring it all back down to Earth, I think I got my phone stolen today. It's missing, and I can't think of another time I had it out/place it would be. I'm going to call the cafe we were at tomorrow (once I get a phone to call with) and check, but I don't hold out much hope. For some reason I'm almost sure that it has been stolen - I just have this weird feeling about it. Stupid London. At least I have fairly recently emptied it of photos/videos. I'm not very good about noting people's numbers in other places though, so now I'm going to have to use email and facebook to rebuild my list. What a pain! Really the thing I feel the worst about is all the old text messages on there. I know it's stupid, but I'm kind of sentimental about things like that. It's always getting full, because I only delete the really inconsequential ones. Anyway, if it did get stolen, it totally sucks! Although I have to say - at least it wasn't my whole handbag. That would have been far far worse. Bah humbug!

Back to highs, just a note to say that V-fest was incredible. A picspam is coming your way just as soon as I manage to retrieve the proper camera cords from my parents' house so I can actually put them on my computer.

Oh, and happy birthday wiscck! I hope your day was all highs and no lows!

I'm sorry about your phone - that sucks!

But yay for meeting Vegi and Ina! That must have been so much fun. I wish I could have been there. Are you going to the London leg of the Heroes tour?

I'm looking forward to the picspam.

Do you mean the ComicCon next week that some of them (Hayden?) are going to be at? Or is there something else I don't know about? I seem to remember Heroes MM people were talking about coming to London for that. Any idea if it's still happening? I need to post in there and ask...

Not feeling good about the phone. Ina just emailed and said they tried to call it but it had a busy tone. So does that mean someone is using it? They better not call overseas since I can't cancel it til tomorrow when I can get to another phone to do it. Oh WHY don't we have a landline?!

I'm not sure if it's the ComicCon. There's a Heroes World Tour, and on the European leg is going to be:
Milo
Adrian
Hayden
Jack Coleman

Is there a website or something that you can cancel it online?

[jenepel.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, did you say MILO??!! Googling it RIGHT NOW.

[adinarj.livejournal.com]

Hee!

And yeah, totally. This is why I asked if you were going!

[jenepel.livejournal.com]

Um, well you're totally right - those four will be in London on Aug 30, 31 and Sept 1. But I can't find anywhere that says where exactly they will be or how you can see them. Any ideas? http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/heroesworldtour/

There's a thread at TWoP on the tour - check it if you can. There've been a lot of people contacting the bigwigs trying to find out more info.

[jenepel.livejournal.com]

Didn't even think to check there. Also, found this lj community, which seems to say there isn't London info yet but they will post it when there is: http://community.livejournal.com/hwt_europe/ Anyway, I am totally free that weekend except for ComicCon, so you better believe I will be wherever they turn out to be!

Take lots of pictures. And video. And say hi to Milo for me. ;o)

[jenepel.livejournal.com]

...says the person who has already met (and had her picture taken) with Milo! :)

[adinarj.livejournal.com]

That's why I said to say hi to him for me.

I'd say to tell Adrian hi, too, but I never met him!

[jenepel.livejournal.com]

Oh I see, now you and Milo are like friends and stuff. Uh huh. :)

[adinarj.livejournal.com]

Exactly! See, you get it.

Glad you had fun with the TWoPers! Too bad about your phone. Maybe you will get lucky and find it.

[jenepel.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I really really hope so.

Hey, cool voicepost btw. It's always fun to hear what people actually sound like.

[filo77.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I think most would say I sound a lot better if I'm not hyped up on sugar and singing...
