Whitby do's and dont's

In two days time, I shall be partying at Creamy in the Metropole, as the first part of the great festival that is Whitby. Yay! And this is [livejournal.com profile] purplerabbits's first WGW, so this year is the first time that all my partners will be there (counting also [livejournal.com profile] ergotia, [livejournal.com profile] lilithmagna, and sweetie [livejournal.com profile] kboyd). Double yay!

I should therefore make it absolutely clear that I will nevertheless be on the pull like the little slut I always am :-) By putting the answers to some form of the FLEM! checklist in my journal, I feel like I'm doing a public service...

Anyway, the "do's and don'ts" questionnaire that was circulating:

Do:
  • Buy much booze for parties
  • Eat the occasional vegetable if at all possible
  • Venture into the actual hall in the Spa at least once on each evening
  • Make better eye contact
  • Take lots of photos
  • Introduce [livejournal.com profile] purplerabbits to lots of folk
  • Find out in advance what people are doing during the day
  • Talk to as many LJers as possible (I want to meet you! Come up and tell me who you are!)
  • Talk to non-LJers
  • Dance
  • Drink
  • Screw

Don't:
  • Fret too hard about clothes
  • Try to organise a play party
  • Let this happen to me
  • Lose anything
  • Drink too little

(Pedantic update: "do's and don'ts" is correct - it's OK to put an apostrophe before a pluralising s iff it disambiguates. You can't really write "dos" any more than you can write "bis", so it's "do's" and "bi's". And indeed several bi's are on my "do's" list.)

whitby fun!

The obvious question is how many of us actually need answers to all 5 - or would even answer all 5 ;)

Oh dear, I think I'm guilty of the non-sex crime...well it makes a change doesn't it?

Looking forward to seeing you hon, and you've utterly seduced a work mate of mine with your tiny waist ;)

[identity profile] ciphergoth.livejournal.com 2002-10-30 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
not at all... you even mentioned your relationship status in your LJ to avoid confusion!

It'll be fab to see you too!

Ah, but it might go some way to explain why that small Glammie creature had a lovely conversation with me last weekend, then got a bit miffed. I hadn't thought about it like that.

Ooo, maybe I can claim innocence about something ;)

Oky, i'll be...er...the one in a very sparse amount of black fabric although that might nto be too helpful...;)

heh... not much danger of me leaving that behind.

You know, going without a vegetable for a week is unkikely to cause anything to drop off or anything......although you are quite right to resolve not to do so of course....still at the unbelievably bloody office, although the end is in sight :)

"several bi's are on my "do's" list."

Actually several bi's are on my "don'ts" list, so from now on I will be referring to them as bin'ts.

... oh cheer up everyone! I was thinking in particular of someone not on lj to my knowledge.
