4 things.

[the_muppet]

1) dream: I would very much like to be able to have a dream about, say, Colin Morgan. Or Matthew Gray Gubler. Or something Merlin-related. Or y'know something vaguely connected in some way to any of the above. My brain however thinks it's perfectly acceptable instead to give me a dream wherein I had dark-eye syndrome - which is something Matthew Gray Gubler has. Seriously, brain? This is not an acceptable substitute.

2) expo: Still don't know if I'm going to the Expo or not. Much as I want to I'm waiting on whether or not my friend will agree to come because I just won't go on my own. In the meantime I do really need to answer some of her questions, so you guys really need to help me out here if you can. Please remember I'm an eejit, I've never been to anything like this before, and I know nothing. Seriously, nothing. Use that as your starting point for information and you can't go far wrong. So if any of you went to the Expo in October 08 or May 09 - or know anyone who did - please help me out here. Okay, some of the obvious things I want to know to start you off - and I know the Merlin cast aren't confirmed yet but I'm sure they will be:

i) were they there on the Saturday or Sunday at both previous ones?
ii) ticket info - we only want to go for the Merlin stuff - the Q&A and (hopefully) signing session
iii) which London station do we need to go to?
iv) all the stuff I've not yet thought of...

3) packages: I got a couple of packages this week so I'd just like to say a huge thank you to from_the_corner for the card and chocolates (yummy) and accordingtomel for the card and necklace which arrived today (lovely) - thanks so much to both of you, I get so excited when packages arrive for me and these were both lovely surprises ♥

4) merlin: IT'S MERLIN!TIME ON SATURDAY! =D

The font of all knowledge (FoaK) gets to display her versatility! Ohhhhh yeah :D

Okay so I can only answer your third question, but it's the most important of all! I am an expert on working out London underground routes :D

If you're getting the train into London, get tickets to Stratford station. Much easier than going into Liverpool Street or anywhere else, and it's a lot closer to the ExCel.

While you're at Stratford, purchase a one-day travelcard. It's £6.30 and you can travel wherever you want within zones 1, 2, 3 and 4 (which, don't worry, is more than you'll need for this trip) after 9:30am.

From Stratford, you need to get on the Jubilee line (grey on all Tube maps and signs at Stratford station) to Canning Town. From there, change onto the Docklands Light Railway (upstairs on Platform 3), and Custom House for ExCel Station will be your second stop. And then you're there! Same route on the way back, except reversed ;)

Hope this helps! FoaK OUT *salutes*

Wow, that all sounds pretty confusing =/ Thanks so much for all the info though, very halepful =)

Oh - and I guessed what FoaK was =)

*hugs muchly*

[dazzlebug.livejournal.com]

I promise it's not as confusing in practice as it is on the screen! Everything is sign-posted REALLY well in the underground, and there are recorded announcements at every single stop on the Jubilee line, telling you what you can access from this stop and the next stop.

Hope so!

Thanks again sweetie ♥

#2: I've never been either and I wanna go. *pouts*

#3: \o/

#4: *FLAILS*

BTW - Just so you know. That song. You know, THAT song. YES, that one. Well, I assigned it to one of my students on Tuesday. So now he has to listen to it and write down the lyrics and translate the meaning for me. HAHAHAHAHA - I totally blamed you btw.

"You see, I have this friend and well...there's this song I can't stop thinking about...sooo...learn it."

1) I KNOW, RIGHT?!

Just so you know. That song. You know, THAT song. YES, that one. Well, I assigned it to one of my students on Tuesday. So now he has to listen to it and write down the lyrics and translate the meaning for me.

LOL! Good for you for spreading the REO love - you should be damn proud of yourself. Soon the whole world will be humming that song and it will be a much happier place for it ♥

*hugs muchly*

Merlin!!! YAY.. sorry that's all my brain can deal with atm.. just came back from a 14 hr shift.. so tired!!!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Merlin! YAY! - that pretty much covers it though, right?

Aw, hope you get some rest now.

*hugs muchly*

[kimberweeme.livejournal.com]

MERLIN! I've been waiting anxiously for a new episode all week long. I am so excited! *dances about in a giddy fashion*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Oh happy days =)

*hugs muhcly*

[vita-candeo.livejournal.com]

What kind of chocolate do you like best? Dark, milk, white, or flavored? And do like "stuff" in it (nuts, crispies, etc) *takes note and plots*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Plots, huh? =)

I like milk chocolate best, preferabley with nothing in it - though saying that my favourite chocolate in the world is Ferrero Rocher and I also like white chocolate mice =P

Hope it's going well at college =)

*hugs*

[vita-candeo.livejournal.com]

White chocolate mice? Huh?

College is going fantastically :) I don't know why, but everyone seems to think the workload is huge... I think it's completely manageable! Maybe it's just the classes I picked... or maybe it's just me ;)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

White chocolate mice? Huh?

I'll send you some =)

Glad to hear it's all going well - but then you're super-smart so I'd expect no less ;)

[vita-candeo.livejournal.com]

I'll send you some =)

I still want to know what they are!!!

*blushes are your comment, and the icon*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

You'll see =)

1 - LOL! Awww...don't worry. It'll happen! If you want to help it along, ensure to watch Merlin right before bed. Seriously, I'm constantly dreaming about Colin and Bradley because I spend so much freaking time watching the show/interviews/whatever ;D

2 - I hope, hope, hope, hope, HOPE that your friend decides to go with you!! It would be so tragic for you to live right there and not take the opportunity to meet your boys! But, that being said, I know there are other things at work here. I hope that you're able to make the decision you feel best about though :). *hugs*

3 - You're welcome hon! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. It was nothing special, but I enjoy being able to do these kinds of things for friends *hugs* :D

4 - I FREAKING CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

1) Well I've spent months and months watching those Merlin episodes and Bradley/Colin stuff... I think for me it's just not going to happen =)

2) I don't know... I really hope so, but right now I honestly don't know.

3) Again thank you ♥ it was so, so lovely of you *hugs*

4) MERLIN!TIME =D

What is dark eye syndrome? I've never heard of it.

I can't help you with the Expo questions but I hope you're able to go.

Yay! for Merlin!time :D

♥

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

What is dark eye syndrome?

It was just something MGG said he had in a documentary thing I saw about him - and there were others on there talking about it too - I think it just refers to him having quite dark eyes and them hacing to cover that with make-up... I don't know, really, sorry.

Tomorrow it's Merlin!Time! =D

*hugs lots*

[from-the-corner.livejournal.com]

Dreams... Weird things...

And I'm happy you enjoyed the chocolates =)

Btw - how many hours till Merlin?...

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Dreams... bloody annoyingly frustrating things...

The chocs are lovely thank you sweetie... I've actually had a little package for you sat on my kitchen table for over a week *is crap* so I'm going to try and get that off in the post on Monday =)

34 hours (my time) till Merlin!Time! =)

*is a dork*

*hugs*

I'm sorry if I've upset you - I don't know what I did, but I didn't realise you'd cut me from your flist until I realised I hadn't heard from you for ages and I missed you. I'm sorry, for whatever it is I did that upset you.
