The last two weekends have been super-fun. I can't begin to describe how ace they were.

The first of these two weekends was the occasion of Mary-Ann's leaving party. In other words, she's gone to Japan now to work (I'm trying so hard not to be jealous, but I'm failing miserably), so the party was going to be the last time any of us would see her for a good few years. The party was really fun though, there were loads of people I'd not seen in ages, and a few I'd not met before, and one that I had met before, but had completely forgotten about =/. I'm not going to describe it in immense detail, but highlights included Astrid and Emelie dancing and singing along to Swedish pop songs, hoover dancing, and an incident involving an aubergine. Use your imagination, people!

Last weekend was Indie Tracks, at Butterley Train Station, somewhere near Nottingham. We danced to indiepop! On a steam train! And bands played! In the station! Words cannot say how BRILLIANT the whole thing was. We were so twee, drinking hot chocolate whilst watching Slow Down Tallahassee. Damian spent the whole night leering at talking to the girl from Tottie. I left my cardigan on the coach so I spent a lot of time jumping up and down, and during the Pocketbooks set, me, Jenny, Rachel, Fizz, Lilian and Jamie did a lot of dancing. There are photos of me, but I was wearing a dress with some serious design malfunctions, so I won't be posting anyyyy of those. I even saw Owen, who I know from the Jetplane Landing messageboard and not from Bowlie. I didn't know he was going to be there. Methinks he's more twee than he lets on. :D It was lovely to see him again though. I spent the night at Pete's, being allergic to his cat. *fails*

I'm paying for all the fun I had now though. I hurt my ankle somewhere along the way, and today when I was walking home from work some woman in her car didn't indicate so I had to stop suddenly. My ankle twinged lots, and now I can barely stand, let alone walk. Boo. So much for the diet (supposedly I started it today). I can't even exercise till my ankle isn't all hurty.

Oh well. Work all this weekend (why do I let myself volunteer for these things?), but next weekend I'm going to the Doctor Who exhibition at MOSI in Manchester. I hope Dalek Sec Hybrid is there! I just want to stand next to a dalek. ^^ And then, at the end of the month...Expo! Amanda Tapping! People! Hooray!

And Hawk And A Hacksaw on Bank Holiday Monday! In a church! In Leeds! :D *dances (well, as much as you can to AHAAH)*
