g/t 07

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Who's sick of listening to me moan? Yes? You? Cool, me too.

Today, however, I am filled with a whole new joy and optimism. What brought this on, you ask? Well for one thing, I called Geeks on Wheels (no, seriously, 0800 4 A GEEK, www.geeksonwheels.co.nz) and they have fixed my network and all my computers, and for the paltry sum of $200 I am sitting here surrounded by Teh Intrawebs. Seriously, I am bathed in the warm embrace. Both my desktops and my laptop and M's laptop are humming around me, and it is paradise. It is the closest thing possible to being McKay in Tao of Rodney.

Ahem.

*gets over indecorous squirming*

No, no, one more barb. I have also kicked Telecom to the curb. Goodbye you sanctimonious thieving wankers. Hello Telstra Clear my very best new friend. How you doin'?

Right. To the point.

My fandom renaissance starts today.

That means vigorous posting in my own lj... and also that it's time to get the ball rolling on g/t 2007.

As a hostess who always feels crushed and exhausted and ready to beg for death by the end (only to want to call you all back as soon as the door closes behind the last of you) I must applaud my own brilliance last year in shifting it into the holidays. Not having to mark 75 exam papers during the whole thing made my will to live slightly stronger. So. Same holidays this year then, since it seemed to suit most. And I'm told the 29-30th September is a long weekend in NSW, so I call shenanigans on the whole thing and nominate those dates. I swear I won't get roped into an IT conference this time.

So... I know it's very early in the year, but I thought I'd mention it anyway, in my newfound spirit of joy. All the polls and nonsense will come later of course. But start examining your finances, and your leave, and...

And you know what? Please start thinking about your fifteen minutes of fame, which I am reinstituting. I missed it last year. I'm going to crack my whip (it matches my cowboy boots I bought in Arizona) and be a little bossy about formats and timetables this year. But it will be to the good, I swear. You will be glad. You will. Or else. No seriously. Spirit of joy.

I am so there again this year! I don't care if I may be heading off to a conference in Denver a week after. I want my fannish time!

And I'll have at least one panel/discussion (and maybe two) that I can revisit from muskratjamboree. Woot!

You have cowboy boots. *dies of envy*

I hope I can make it to more of g/t this year, but as ever I am at the mercy of my stupid body.

Cowboy boots! Er, sorry, that was the first thing that jumped out at me aside from "whoooo, get/together!" so, uh, yes, count me very in, too. And it's great to see you 'around' these parts again, and all. Ccongratulations on the re-internetted state, too, that sounds LOVELY.

Do I want to ask what you mean by fifteen minutes of fame? *curious and mildly frightened*

[vaudevilles.livejournal.com]

You are all completely crazy and I LURVE you. I am totally there (especially if people don't mind a mini-pre-fan turning up occasionally ;o)

[i-naiad.livejournal.com]

I'll have to look at my schedule/diary/thing what I use to organise my life, but I'm tentatively there.

[not-nele.livejournal.com]

Ohh yes. I am so there. Whee!! Hmm fifteen minutes of fame. Bandslash has taken over my head... I always like to share the pretty boy pictures.

:( :( :( :(

I will be fully expecting some kind of live chat thing to be set up so that I can attend in voice if not in the flesh *g*

::is glad, as instructed:: And I see no reason why I shouldn't be there, although I'm crossing toes and fingers as I say that. But as for my fifteen minutes - we monofans would just end repeating ourselves...

[iibnf.livejournal.com]

Yay to all of it!

[hnix.livejournal.com]

I...am thinking about it! Longingly! I'll see what my finances are like a bit further along. *plots*

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Depending on finances (and uni stuff, though that is at the end of my mid-semester break), I'm so there!
