HAPPY BIRTHDAY annephoenix!!! I hope you'll survive the not so pleasant events in your extremely full schedule with minimum headache, and enjoy the fun ones even more than you expect :-)

I met ldybastet, lysa1, kabale, shiv5468, elanor_isolda and son_of_darkness (who, BTW, is neither gay nor a girl, just so you know) today in Haagen Dazs on Leicester Square. We've had a great time chatting about fandomy and non-fandomy stuff, and gorging ourselves on ice-cream until we could barely walk ;-) For me the highlight of the day was son_of_darkness confessing that I scare him. Well, technically what scares him are my unorthodox canon-based views on Draco, but hey, he still cowered before me, so it was all good ;-)

Afterwards I set off to see "A Scanner Darkly" only to discover that the location of Odeon is Covent Garden's best kept secret. After walking around for half an hour and futilely asking a dozen of natives for directions I lost hope and returned to Leicester Square to watch the film in Empire. The ticket cost me 11.50 but at least I could find the bloody theatre!
