Snark Meet-Up 09

As I’m sure many of you have already heard, the sexy Amanda of Jingwen flew over to the UK this week. After having trained it in to Telford with Rachael and Ben, she was met by Amelie, Sarah and myself for a day of jollies.

Much conversation was had about penises (and whether or not it’s actually penii?), boobs and… no, actually, just penis and boobs. We laughed at chavs, ate pizza for lunch, toured Ironbridge and Coalport on foot (managed to avoid blisters, too) and then went out for tea (that’s “dinner”, if you’re posh).

Pictures are circulating, although as expected I am suitably censored in all.

All that’s left to do now is arrange the next meeting…

Warning

This post is over 6 months old. This means that, despite my best intentions, it may no longer be accurate. Age, motherhood, experience, loss... these things have all changed me from when this blog was started back in the heady (ha) days of my youth.

As much as I would like to go back and edit 10 years of archives to provide an insight into the 'me' of now — to update coding snippets and revise website advice — it would probably take years to do so (by which point I'd have to start again!) This would defeat the point of keeping these archives anyway.

Please take these posts for what they are: a brief look into my past, my history, my journey.

    No worries, I only have pictures of you in group photos, and your face is circled out. :)

    We will have to have fun times again soon. :D

    Is that ‘if you’re posh’ aimed at me, Jem? Pah!

    Heh… censored Jem. Maybe it’s time to change your tagline to something like NSFW XD

    I was quite surprised you have such long hair. Figured you’d have it short like Amelie’s.

    I censored Jem in all my pictures. *Nodnod* I replaced her with a far better looking smiley face. >:P

    I’m glad you had fun! I’m hoping to meet up with some online people soon.

    Laughing at chavs is always a fun thing to do. Me and my friends do it often. :)

    Okay, so, after always hearing the term "tea" being used by British people to describe food I only find out NOW that it means dinner??

    I’ll make it across the pond one of these days… when I do, I demand a meet up of this sort!

  14. Hanna says: January 12, 2009 at 1:30 am # ·

    I will hunt you down too. :D Someday, when I have money and free time. Hopefully there will be such a day. :P

    Reasons to visit England: see the famous Jem, hang out with the famous Jem and get a plug on the famous Jem’s blog. :P
