So, first thing's first:
Sat 23 - Mon 25 April: The trip to the London MCM Expo
This, as expected was a pretty good trip in the end. It began, as most student trips do, with a 5-hour long bus drive down to Victoria Station, London where we had to wait in the noisy and uncooperative Train Station. Soon after we were wonderfully accommodated though as Alex's parents (Alex is a friend from Uni and future housemate and organised this trip since he lives near London) put us up for the night and drove us just about everywhere.
The Con was amazing. The internet can never really prepare you for it. For me who isn't a cosplayer, a fresher with regard to Con's and not all that heavily into things like most people there. So it was all a little new and fantastic to me. And what a day to be there for it, it as wonderfully sunny and nice to be in, and major kudos to all the cosplayers for keeping that up all day! Except those that were cosplaying as Rikku or something, you weren't weariing THAT much so you can't have been too hot.
And now for the apologies. Ben asked me to find John Allison, I did, then didn't remember I had previously found his Scarygoround online and forgotten it. Mr. Allison, I am VERY sorry for not recognising that your Scarygoround was THE Scarygoround. I'd tip my hat if I had one sir. And next for Mr. David Hine who I bought a Spawn Comic from and wasn't sure who he was. I have looked you up sir and I now am VERY grateful you signed that copy for me. Sorry for being so ignorant of your awesomeness man. And apologies for anyone else whose time I wasted or who thought I was weird, you know, being the sole Mac Hall fan in the entire place - what was i thinking?!
And now for Oxford:
Fri 29 Apr. - Mon 1 June Trip to see Bryony in Oxford
For starters, the train trip down there, though daunting and more than a little scary for me was pretty ok really. Despite getting caught up inn the cramped midsection with football fans when trying to get to my reserved seat and not knowing what the hell to do in the unapologetic Birmingham New St. Station, the idea of being reserved a seat on a clean and carpeted train with air con and the like was great. Very enjoyable. XP
Getting there and seeing Bry again (she's enrolled at Mansfield btw, I know you don't know that cos SHE NEVER UPDATES HER JOURNAL! ahem...) was great and after not being able to visit last term and most of this term it felt really good to see her down there in Oxford. It was ridiculously sunny all weekend which made Oxford look spectacular (a word I'm loathe to use as it sounds stupid) but yeah, really shiny and everything.
It was really great to meet Bry's friends as well who are some of the nicest, warmest and friendliest people I've yet to meet. (apart from my Rochdale lovelies of course
But anyway, blog over. I'm at the official end of my first year at uni now and will be home soon again for Summer. Mostly looking forward to it I think. Especially Momentum if it all works out. Duno when I'll have something new for you guys to look at. See yall later and well done if you just read ALL this.
Much loves,
Dan x
