So I've been busy lately showing several GW'ders around York! It was so much fun, had a great time. Hopefully we can do things like that more often :D


Anyway, while San was over I got a text from my friend saying the dissertation results were online, I hadn't even been looking as we'd been given July 14th as the date for them! Well I looked and it was there, along with my other module results... took me a while to figure out which module was which (stupid university coding system *shakes fist*. I got 65 for my dissertation, which I'm relatively happy with, I would have liked better but considering I only got 55 for my literature review for it and had to change tutor's as he was so unhelpful, it'll do :P Also got 64 for my production module, which I'm very pleased with, I was a little worried about as nobody was quite sure what we were doing for it and never got a response from any of the lecturers when I asked for advice *rolleyes*.

So, thats all of my uni results in! From my calculations it gives me a 2-1 overall, but I haven't had that confirmed from uni yet. What I do know for sure is that I've passed so I'll graduate :D



Saw 'Public Enemies' the other day with Laura, BIG letdown, I definately wouldn't recommend it :S


Went to Alton Towers yesterday with my cousin's and Michelle (one of said cousin's :P) asked me to be a bridesmaid at her wedding next year! :D She also promised not to put me in a pink dress, woo! :P

Voting is open for another 3 hours.

My brain hasn't been working :S Too much shopping :O

Finally got round to scanning in my MK photo's :P

Here is my autograph from Rachel:


While there I asked her a question. Camy on GW had asked me to ask her, I almost didn't but then I just blurted it out :P I asked Rachel what she thought of JM's post on John and Teyla having a mutual attraction but that Teyla had settled with Kanaan. She started with that sweet lovely Rachel smile she has :P and said 'Well he's a writer, he has his opinion. You know these writers, they all have their opinions, she laughed. But you know... Teyla definately has an affinity to Kanaan, they grew up together but you know..." Then the girl next to her prompted 'If there had been another season?' And Rachel goes 'Yeah... you know... dot dot dot!' (she actually said dot dot dot ):P

Which inspired this sig :P


So here are my photo-ops, first just me and the second one with azure_horizon (aka gator101)




We had a good time despite the weather :P Met up with hannanora at the train station and waited for Laura (gater) to get there from the airport, then made our way to the stadium. There was no where to leave our luggage so for the morning we were trailing round suitcases and a big bag :/ Anyway, we went straight for the photo-op with Rachel, she really is tiny and just so lovely. After that we got our virtual tickets for Rachel's autograph and had a wonder round, I took pics of Sir Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters (played for the Blades :D). Then we went to Hannah's hotel and dropped off our luggage.

Went back to the con and bumped into Linzi, Listy and SheppyD, who led us to the dealers room, how we'd missed it I'm not sure, it was massive! :P After nearly getting lost in the dealers room we had to escape and go pick up our autographs with Rachel, got a lovely Phantoms pic for free with it :D She was cold so had put a jumper on and was delighted when her aid gave her a cookie :P (so thin yet still able to eat cookies *shakes head* iz not jealous) Then some more wondering round, the queue for Leonard Nimoy was up to 1000! Then picked up our photos before heading back to Hannah's hotel.

Just as we were leaving the hotel (I almost walked past without noticing :P) we saw Tony Amendola and John De Lancie (sp?) in the lobby. Went for dinner at Zizzi's where, on the next table, were Linzi, Listy and SheppyD :D We noticed that Joe and Jason's agent, who we'd seen at Bedford, was in the restaurant so were guessing who she was with there, but nobody came before we left. Listy told me that she'd seen Rachel go into the restaurant across the road.

Then back in the hotel we were in the lobby and Nathan Fillion came out of the lift! He left straight away but while we were waiting for the lift ourselves he came back in and sat on the sofa's for a few minutes.

And then me and Laura were off to catch the bus to the airport... I'm never spending the night in an airport again, definately not Luton anyway :/

Closes this time tomorrow :)

So this is my new little Rocketman :D My parents picked him up while I was on hol. He's so tiny and really boney! Just 10 weeks old :D







He hasn't quite got the hang of his ladder yet, he stands to the side of it and jumps on, and he jumps through the hole at the top to go down :P

Hopefully I'll scan in my Rachel photo-op pics tomorrow :D

So I'm going to the con in MK tomorrow to see RL (squee!) and then onto Paris before going to Berlin and then back to Glasgow :D None of which I've been to before, woo!

Anyway, so just wanted to say goodbye before I forget :P I think at least one of the hotels has internet access so I may be able to pop on at some point :)


to Wildcatt tomorrow!! :D

Listy on the 12th! :D

And bandcat on the 14th! :D

See you all soon :D

Voting for challenge 50: http://forum.gateworld.net/group.php?do=discuss&discussionid=73&pp=10&page=120 This week is Irresistable (I can never spell that word :S)

So, I finished my degree today... meh. I'm delighted its over, but thats mainly that I ended up hating it rather than being pleased I've finished it. I do regret the degree in the fact that I feel like I've wasted the last three years, but I also don't regret it, as if I hadn't done it I would have always had that naggling thought in my head that I should have given it a go! And I've absolutely LOVED living in York, I'm really going to miss the place :( Plus I've made some really good friends that I hope will remain good friends for a long time to come :)

Off on holiday next week :D Woo! Going with Laura to Paris and then Berlin where we'll meet up with Fainne :D Can't wait :D Never been to France or Germany! I did both languages at school for a couple of years, but all I can really remember is numbers :P Luckily I do remember how to say 'I don't understand' and 'do you speak english?' in French, I'm sure if I looked it up in German I'd remember too :P

No spoilers.

Saw Angels and Demons today! After reading both A&D and Da Vinci Code, I thought A&D would make a better film due to its timeline. I wasn't wrong, but then again I didn't like The Da Vinci Code movie. I thought the casting and performances were poor (except for Paul Bettany) and they changed too much of the story, including my favourite part.

It's been three years since I read A&D (while in Rome no less! :P) so I wouldn't remember if they've changed any of it but I enjoyed it for what it was. The casting was great and Tom Hanks was much better. I thought the camera work was all over the place though, really made me feel dizzy at times.

Good movie, but not as good as the book. I really need to read the book again and go back to Rome now! :P


Other news of the day :P Last day of the Premiership, for some reason I have a soft spot for Newcastle. I should have wanted them to go down considering my housemate supports Middlesborough and one of my best friend's supports Sunderland, but I'm still gutted Newcastle went down :P

Congrats to Rangers on winning the league, woo! :D And Hearts for holding Celtic!

Shame Millwall didn't pull it out of the bag, they should go up just for their first goal, it was amazing!!

Anyway, got to get up early tomorrow as we're leaving at 8:30am to go to Wembley! COME ON YOU RED AND WHITE WIZZAARRRDDSSS!!

Manips of John and Teyla that I posted in Beya a couple of days ago: http://community.livejournal.com/sga_beya/149207.html#cutid1

Never made manips before, but for some reason as soon as I read the promt I just had to do it :P I really enjoyed making the Teyla one, and I have at least one more dress that I think could work. Shep was harder as most of the pictures of tux's have somebody wearing it with one hand in a pocket, so it was difficult to find a picture of Shep with the right stance :S I still think his head is a little big for the body on the manip but if I'd have made it any smaller the neck wouldn't fit :P

Note from Summer Glau regarding TSCC cancellation: http://www.summer-glau.net/wp/?p=945

That just made me even sadder that the show' been cancelled :)

No Mans Land this week :)

Well that sucks.

Just heard from two aparantly reliable sources that TSCC has been cancelled. No offical word from Fox, which is expected today, but if its not cancelled I think it'll be a miracle now :(

One of the sites also said Without A Trace was cancelled, which suprised me as I thought it did well in the US. It didn't suprise me in that the last few seasons haven't bee very good though :P

And Chuck has been renewed, I don't watch it but I've seen bits and it always looked good.

How could they leave TSCC on that cliffhanger, *shakes fist*.

Saw Star Trek yesterday! Woo!

( Star Trek 2009 spoilers )

£62!! £62! No student discount! Bloody hell!

My Uncle rang up (rang up my mum that is :P) concerned that I wouldn't be able to afford it, she told him that I'd just booked a hol to Paris and Berlin so I could definately afford it :P Which is true, I can afford it, but concessions are £31 which isn't bad for a match at Wembley, only the concessions are just for under 16's and over 60's :/ Boooo! My ticket for the semi-final was £14, bit of a difference. Plus we've had to reserve parking spaces that are like £9 each, not that I have a car but... still :P We rang my brother's friend who lives in the area but even if we parked outside his house we'd have to go on the tube to the stadium so it'd cost just as much as the parking :P

Oh, and Burnley... bugger. :/ I hope Eagles isn't fit :P And I can say that without it being unneccessarily mean cos he used to play for Wednesday :P

Saying all that, I may be a tad looking forward to it :P:P

I shut up now, I get overanimated when it comes to football :P

Just got back to uni and I have a pic of Sydney up on the wall, so I scanned it in :)



Yes, he is trying to eat my jeans :P
