I had a FANTASTIC time at Clapham yesterday! And I learned a lot.

I learned:
* That the reason I can't get isolations is because my sock poi aren't right for the move and, thus...how to do an isolation.
* What Frodo looks like without his pants on (and what his...um..."hobbit" looks like from up close! )
* That Mr. Chutney and I seem to have identical bladder capacities.
* That Pink...? is quite ticklish. Especially on her sides, under her arms, on her right knee (watch out for the left one; that's where she had the operation) and ESPECIALLY on the bottoms of her feet. But don't tell anyone or she'll kill me.
* What it's like to actually meet Dom after having chased him over half the globe for 2 years.
* That Durbs is even cuter than I thought he'd be.
* That SmallGirl is, in fact, teensy.
* That Adam (dsads) hasn't changed one bit in 2 years.
* That Will is only 19, even though he doesn't look a day younger than 37 (which isn't old! Just ask Monty Python!)
* That, although Bovril is the nicest guy in the world, he's capable of walking right past a clueless-looking dude wearing a shirt that says "Ann Arbor, Michigan" on it and a backpack with a staff sticking out of it without saying a word.
* That GothFrogette loves being picked up and swung around. Furthermore, in spite of the spikey things sticking out from around her mouth, it doesn't hurt to kiss her.
* That 2Bags seems to have a thing for teenage girls.
* That C@ntus and Pink like to txt each-other even though they are only a few feet apart.

*That the London HOP crowd is an AMAZING bunch of people and that I do, in fact, have "tons of friends" in London. Malcolm, thanks to you, my friend!

Hey, I'm capable of walking past pretty much anything, I drift off into my own little world when I'm wandering about.
It's the only way I get to see the unicycling stoats and marshmallow trees

It was a lovely day! I'm sorry I didn't get to chat to more of you, there were so many people there it was all a bit bewildering. It's great being able to put some names to faces now, although I can hardly remember anyone's real name. I wish I could have stayed longer!

Well, I'll definitely be back some future Sundays, when the weather's good. I may even begin turning up at Spitz. I promise I'll stay later next time too, I never got to see much fire.

Thank you all for being such nice, welcoming people. Sure I'll meet some of you again some time.
