Yes, it's true, I'm hopping the pond and will be attending Castlefest.  I am very happy to see that Magpie will be there, I was hoping to finally meet you on this trip!

(I arrive on 29 July, leaving on 10 August, and will be staying with Libra.)

*squeeeee*

I'm already so in Castlefest mode, it's almost scary.... I just lead a sad sad life....

I know.... working on the facepaint (need I bring more colours??? if you want to?) designs and the greaves and bracers doesn't really help with the waiting process either.... and my work-folk are being driven nuts due to me talking about it the whole time.... manager tried to shut me up by challenging me to wear the "vengeance maiden" costume to work in the week after Castlefest... hahahaha..

And darn darn darn, my silly computer has turned the " and the @ sign around so I keep making mistakes... now how does one fix that????

Oh, there are costumy things happening on this end as well.  I'll be posting something on the Blue Tailor thread real soon.

And I was keeping quiet about the pond-hopping too - seemed wise until I actually booked my flight, which I did over the weekend.  So it's official now, hee!

*bounces*

*giggles maniacally*

It's so good to know I'm not the only one who's so excited.

What's funny too is that this thread appears just after Sahi posted the first line of Otherland in the "Favourite Quotations" thread, which made me spend last night trying to remember all those funny lines from the first Castlefest night last year. Sat in the bathtub giggling about "You always count eyes clockwise".

*drive-by squeeing*

Not long any more! Only - *counts* - seven weeks!

*giggles and bounces crazily*

*more drive-by squeeing*

I'm so not wanting to wait any longer.... having dreams about it even... silly, sad little me....

Just a few more weeks! (Six now, I think.) Must get that costume finished this weekend, and if I have to nail my friend to the sewing machine. And figure out what the rest of the family is going to wear.

For me, it's 4 1/2 weeks until I get on the plane, woot!  And urk!  Only 4 1/2 to finish the costumes....  *starts panicking*

*edited, because there IS an 'e' in plane*

I bought prettypretty ribbons to pimp up my pink princess dress. Since I don't have a sewing machine anymore (exchanged useful femal flatmate with sewing machine for useless male housemate without such helpful equipment), I now have to do it all by hand. Aaaah!!

But YAY! Castlefest is coming! And if the weather stays only half as warm as it is now, we won't need any costumes at all. Bikinis can be our costumes!
