I almost got myself into confusing trouble last night; I offered [livejournal.com profile] lnr and [livejournal.com profile] teleute a lift to the Calling, and then [livejournal.com profile] lzz asked for a lift for her and [livejournal.com profile] drswirly, and I said yes to both (I can carry four passengers believably enough) and then found out that the former lot were planning to bring [livejournal.com profile] ewx as well. Fortunately, Gareth decided not to go and Liz found her own transport, which made life easy again. For a moment there I felt like a major airline, deliberately overbooking a flight and trusting that enough cancellations will happen to avoid serious trouble.

The Calling itself was, well. Um. It seemed like quite a good Calling as far as I could tell, but for some reason I managed to disappear into my own mind for most of it, and spent a while staring at walls trying to understand strangenesses going on inside my head. Then I went mopey because for a while everyone I tried to talk to seemed to have someone else they wanted to talk to more (probability theory predicts that this is bound to happen every so often simply by bad luck, but it's still no fun when it does), and so I spent rather too much time oscillating between states of trance-like self-insight and rather pathetic moping and not nearly enough having fun spending time with nice people. Thanks to LNR in particular for trying to cheer me up, with some success.

Today my digestion has apparently been having mood swings, alternating between ‘you're in the doghouse, mister’ and ‘feed me pork pies NOW’. I hope it sorts itself out by this evening…

Major Airline sounds like it ought to be used in a skit with other people called things like Private Plane.

Actually I spent some of the night talking to people that I didn't particularly want to talk to (anyone who reads this, I'm almost certainly not referring to you) and would much rather have spent that time talking to you.
I do like the phrase "for a moment there I felt like a major airline".

Now you mention it, I think I did notice you talking to someone who looked distinctly out of place, and I wondered if you needed rescuing. Should I have? :-/

Sorry if I was one of the people neglecting you, but I was kind of working on the principle I'd see you tomorrow (erm, today now) and not see people like Duncan and Emma for ages again.

*hugs* Indeed. And despite that I think you were one of the people who talked to me most :-)

*muffled spluttering* You do realise you've just very narrowly avoided causing me to spit the gumshield thing that's holding my tooth-whitening gel across the room, don't you? :)
