Half-moving to London... TODAY!

[ciphergoth]

Summary: I'm moving in with kitty_goth today! I plan to spend roughly alternate fortnights in London and Edinburgh. This is so that I can experience the joys of both cities as much as possible, and so that I can spend more time with all three of my main partners: purplerabbits in Edinburgh, and ergotia and lilithmagna in London. It will probably also mean I get to see more of sweetie kboyd in Cambridge. This is possible because I work from home, so I can even work on the train between the two cities. Kitty already has broadband, so I'll barely miss a moment of connectivity...

This is the fourth plan I've made to this end. Moving in with kitty_goth in the flat owned by bootpunk was the first, but at one stage that didn't seem possible. The second was moving in with ergotia and lilithmagna, but there were delays in the room I planned to take becoming free, and I started to feel I'd rather fix their kitchen first before moving in. The third was lolliepopp, sweinhodge, ajva and I all getting a shared place in Leytonstone, but landlord-fucking-about put paid to that. Now me and Kitty have resolved the hurdles in the original plan and we're back on!

So I'm getting a lunchtime train to London today, meeting up with Kitty at Kings Cross, and picking up the keys. I'm planning on staying in London this visit for just under a fortnight, leaving on Tuesday 11 March. ergotia and I are hoping to make Tenebrae on Friday, where it seems a lot of people will be.

It's going to be so very cool. I'm looking forward to living with kitty_goth a lot, it's a lovely flat about ten minutes walk from the Slimelight, and I'm going to see so much more of so many of you!

UULP: laughing out loud, everyone should read adjectivemarcus's answers to the "I am, I think, I know" meme.

Yes indeed. In actual fact, I agree with you about Duckie. Any time I've ever been there I've sworn not to go back due to its overcrowding/overloudness/not very much funness (as I see it). So you have an ally here. Having said that, the music is good - I'm willing to wager there is nowhere else in London where you can hear Rebel Rebel and the old Grange Hill theme tune (the one with the flying sausage) played back to back.

It doesn't make up for how otherwise taxing I find the venue, though. I shall be at adjectivemarcus's Friday evening (pub) celebration instead. :o)

*shrugs* This is the reason to do two things - so people can decide.

See you Friday!

LL as usual I take it?

If anyone's counting, I agree with you and ergotia about the negative aspects of Duckie, but there's something undefinable about the atmosphere there that I like, which means that I'll enjoy myself as long as I don't go there too often.

Hence I'll be there on Saturday (and won't be around on Friday, because I'll be in Oxford with my sister).
