Harry Potter and the Convention of Probable Wank

[deathcookie]

Heh, the first Harry Potter convention in the UK's taking place in Reading. At the Uni, in fact. Ah well, I'd rather the town teem with convention-goers than aging Womad hippies. Maybe I can make some extra money and piss off my mother by pretending our house is a B&B, and letting convention-goers stay there

I once went to a Star Trek convention. SHUT UP! My ex-husband was into it. You have to make unreasonable sacrifices like that when you're married. Of course, I consider sharing control of the remote an unreasonable sacrifice. It explains a lot about why I'm not married anymore (although there was also the lying, con-artist, idiot factor... him, not me).

Oh, I already know that -- you told me the Star Trek convention

It's okay. My ex was a Trekkie, and she dragged me to a Federation Science exhibition when we were 17. Teeming with interesting activities such as a 1:3 replica of the Enterprise E's bridge and Riker's prosthetic beard worn by Jonathan Frakes in 'Star Trek: Insurrection'.

As in your case, it explains why I'm not dating her anymore. The fact that she was a women who asked people to call her 'Dave' with only two pairs of pants should have clued me in.

You told me the Star Trek convention story when we were driving around Sacramento and talking about hobo hangouts. What the frell is happening to my typing?

Sometimes I forget what I've already told people about. Must have been on that delirious drive home from S.F.

Why did she want to be called 'Dave'?

You would be very happy in a career that utilised your level-headedness, and allowed you to work mainly on your own. You want a career that allows you to be creative, without having to be involved with lots of people.

Like a serial killer?
