I am still trying to decide which of my Dallas photos are worth posting, will be doing a con report eventually.  In the meantime heres my photo shoots and some of the Autographs.  These are totally my favs of all my photo shoots so far.

I think I am pretty much organised for off, have packed my suitcase, need to sort out my carry on bag but that's easy enough :)

Have managed to text wenchpixie in USA, so I wont be stuck :)

Last call to mara_sho, kitty_cat89 and smeckles90, that if you guys even see this, haven't had a reply to text or lj messages so I am assuming that's a no, a girl could start to take this personally lol.  Cinema it is then :)  You all have my mobile if you change your mind!

Will be online tomorrow once I have finished the organising.

On an unrelated note, I won this off ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320256628013&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=011 :D

Being an impatient one, I emailed MPH a few days ago about when we were likely to hear about presenters for TG Live.  I got this reply today

"Hi Laura,

Thanks for your email,

More details will be released in the next few weeks about the presenters, please check our website (www.mphshow.co.uk) for more information

Don't forget to sign up for our newsletter where you will find all the latest news on MPH featuring Top Gear Live

Regards, Kylie"

I am hoping that means before the tickets go on sale, best mate cant come with so will be looking forward to hanging out with TGS'ers, will most likely need help navigating and a shopping buddy would be good :D

Rogue events keep trying to tempt me with more Conventions.  The problem I have with Ravens is that its October, which is when MPH 08 is, and The Hub if I get organised to go.

Normal service has resumed with the weather today, its wet and windy and as I had no hood, and there yet to make a brolly that is Caithness wind proof I got soaking wet, THREE times.  Should really do something with my hair, it will be a fright in the morning, not really having the energy to care.

Loving the new TG Belgium pics, new series is going to be soo good, roll on 22nd of June \0/

Someone please stop me, stop me from thinking about going to the Torchwood Convention The Hub. 

I have no one to go to Northampton with, don't even know how I would get there. 

No....I'm going to wait till they announce more guests...even though I adore Tosh...anyone else thinking about going.

 If a certain JB was confirmed, then I would be there in a heartbeat, but I have serious doubts that will happen. 

Also that's about the time, I am plotting for MPH 08...can they please announce that all three boys are doing TG Live....PLEASE!!!!

Dude!  look what I made :D

I have a huge amount of respect for people like the lovely mara_sho who make animated icons, this took me forever.

I kinda got bored, of waiting for someone to make one, this scene that was totally calling out for it, so I went in search or some tutorial's. 

Found this amazing one here by lidi.

I think this may be the start of something, I do have actual things to post about eventually.



Its not perfect ,and I am sure there will be better ones, but I is proud.

I'm bored...where is everyone? 

I survived all my courses last week, have a long weekend to look very forward to and of course Easter eggs and far too much chocolate.

Highlight of last week was Sports relief, specifically the gorgeous Richard Hammond and the wonderfully funny Top Ground Gear Force, as openskies can testify I was pretty much in hysterics by the end, in between turning into puddles of goo. 

Speaking of why is there no animated icons of Jezza rescuing Hamster from the cement yet, I wants NOW!

I am currently working on my plan of finding folks to attend MPH08 with, have been posting on Hammond Heaven, must go about friending more TG fans on LJ.

This is a very pointless update, I am just bored and wondering what everyone is doing.

Why is it so long till new Supernatural, the Legacy pictures are all very yummy though.

Look....Look at my pretty, pretty header.  It has kindly been made for me by the lovely amethystshard *hugs* isnt it gorgeous.  I love it very much, having all my favourite boys in the one place, well my two favourite boys and my three favourite middle aged men lol.

Speaking of my middle aged men.  I received and amazon order today consisting of the new Top Gear DVD - The Great Adventures and Oz and James Great Wine Adventure Series Two.  I showed to with much glee to my bemused mother, to which she said.

"You really love those guys don't you."

"I really do yeah"  I couldn't help but grin.

Also I got shiny new phone today, its the new Motorola PEBL U9 in purple :D I have been busy using the bluetooth to fill it with pretty.

Can I just say how nice it is to be in a friendly fandom...

Top Gear fandom since I have been in it is such a pleasant place to be, as far as I have seen there's no wank and the boys themselves keep giving us such nice tidbits, like the bromance story, the pictures of Jeremy from the SA MPH and now today this interview Times Online. 

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article3423470.ece

My favourite part is this...

“The great thing about Top Gear is that you get the sense we’d still be doing it even if they weren’t filming,” he said. “There is a lot of piss-taking but we’re all best friends and we love each other dearly � don’t tell Clarkson I said that, he’ll punch me next time he sees me.”

Now anyone who watches the show properly will already know this, its written all over there faces when they look at each other , especially the way Jeremy smiles at Richard (but that might just be me :D ).

The rest of the article makes me sad, my poor hamster struggled “mortally with depression”, I knew the rate of his recovery was too good to be true, I just hope he continues to improve at the rate he has and keeps being the person we all love.

Oh and the best news that I heard this week!  we are getting TWO series of Top Gear this year and a special (I know there going to Japan).  Plus the possibility of The Richard Hammond Show being on TV, if it gets picked up I am so going to a episode filming.

Right have booked flights for Birmingham in May, thanks wenchpixie  :) just need to sort out the rest of it.  I haven't booked any of the Brighton stuff yet as I have contacted glorfinniel,  unhobbityhobbit and aditu_az about room sharing, If all else fails and I hear nothing I will just book a double and have a nice big bed to myself,  I am sure I will only be in it to sleep, hopefully wont be abandoned there on my own.  Will hopefully get it sorted tommorrow after work, as normal I am paranoid there will be no rooms left and the bus will be full but I am sure a day will OK.

I  LOVED Torchwood, I know its not a perfect show by any means but as a long term slasher/shipper its like a fanfic come to life on the screen,  RTD can be very good to us when he wants.


I am going to go now and watch more Top  Gear, finished RH book last night.  Didn't think it was possible to love Hamster more than I did already , I was so wrong and Mindy is just amazing :D  Now I  can start on Jeremy's latest, I may need to investigate James books  as  he shouldn't be left out  ;)

Today is totally made of win :)

I have officially finished work till the 3rd of October :)

we went for Christmas lunch today I won something in raffle :)

I got a letter which I think means my student loan is paid of :)

I am feeling all Christmas and chilled :)

and best of all today is Richard Hammond Birthday!  So Happy Birthday to the lovely man that can make me ridiculously happy whenever he is on the TV (especially with his two daft mates)



Look he is sooo cute :D

I am going to bed to either watch Dexter or possibly Top Gear, I will be up sometime tomorrow, yay I get to turn off all my alarms :)
