Very belated welcome to everyone from the Transformers Friending Meme! Come in, make yourself comfortable. This journal tends to be rambly and irregularly updated, but I'm trying to do better!

Had a wonderful long weekend this weekend! Had both Friday and Monday off, and on Saturday I went down to London to see my Sister and to go to the London Expo. Which is the first Convention I've ever been too and thus v. exiting :D. There was this building sense of glee as the undeground and railways converged towards the convention centre and there were more and more tv and anime characters in the crowd. :D. Cosplayer watching was my favourite bit of the whole experience - there were some really brilliant costumes there! I felt underdressed. There was one Optimus Prime but sadly they were gone too quickly for me to ask for a photo.

( some photos under the cut! )

I've decided not to do NaNo this year. I love doing it but I'm probably going to be busy this November, and I haven't got a firm idea ready to go. (My darling Feminist Werewolves are still fermenting at the back of my brain.) And I always end up unhappy with stuff I write racing the clock - and the feeling that the thing I've taken 10,000 words to say would have much better be said in two. What I am going to aim to do is a fic or 1000 words per day in November. A fic can be a drabble of a hundred words a day, so hopefully that will be doable while still challenging!

Also: Pumpkins! Actually pumpkin and melon. They were out of pumpkins. Plus side we've now got a fridge full of delicious melon. Mmmm, melon. It was easier to carve than a pumpkin and the greenish glow is cool - might go the melon route next year as well. XD

Transformers is where my headspace is mostly at at the moment, but anything we've ever talked about or anything listed in my interests welcome!
