Yay!!
I went to woolworths today and bought the first disc of SGA season 3!!
*Does a little dance*
I've missed having new atlntis *things* to watch. I've already watched the *Sateda- Mission directive* 3 times. I'm currently watching it again, but making screencaps of certain bits that contain the Uber-wraith (Dan Payne), so that I can put them on his forum: http://www.danpaynefans.net
Ah yes, the main reason I am excited about the dvd....
DAN PAYNE!!!
Something new to watch with Dan in it!! hehe There are some funny shots of Dan in the *mission directive*. I can't wai to to watch the *sateda* commentary, as who ever is doing the commentaries of an episode Dan is in always has something nice to say about him.
Anyway, i'm going to carry on screencapping the *mission directive* and stop talking about Dan Payne. (I'm going to look at him instead, lol (okay, he's in full makeup, but its still him :P))

Argh! She Lost Them All!!
I feel like I am going to kill my now former housemate.
When she moved out of the house, she left a box of the dvd's that I leant her in the living room so that I could find them easily (or so she says). Now they have all gone missing!!
Why would you leave someones things in a house full of people neither of you know anyway?!?!
The thing that really, REALLY pisses me off is the fact that in the box were basically ALL my *Stargate* dvds.
I had a boxset of seasons 1-7 of *Sg1*- that was in the box.
3 discs from season 9- they were in the box.
Most of my season 6 & 7 boxsets- in the box.
ALL my Atlantis dvds- IN THE BOX!!!
And to top it all off, 3 more dvds were in there.... my favourites....... my whole Special Extended Editions of *The Lord Of The Rings* Trilogy. My favourite films ever!!
Basicallly over £200 worth of my things that I trusted her with and she's lost them. Either that or she is just keeping them and lying to me.
If someone who is in the house now doesnt come forward with them, I am going to tell the Landlords that i am going to get the police involved, as either place they could be is to do with landlords (the ***** has moved into another one of their accomodations). If my stuff isnt recovered.... she's going to buy it all back for me.
This is just what I need on top of everything else that is happening to me right now.

I apologise for the last entry guys...
I just wanted to apologise for my last entry guys. I was feeling really down and just needed to get it off of my chest. I think I know what i'm going to do, i'm pretty sure and I have about a month to make up my mind.
My boyfriend knows how nervous I am. He knows that I struggle to believe that someone could actually care for me the way he does. I'm just very confused at the moment by this big step, but I know that it will be alright in the end :)

Have I Made The Right Decision?
All I can think about at this moment is whether or not I have made the right decision over something.
Sometime this month, I am supposed to be moving in with my boyfriend. I am really worried over whetehr or not this is even remotely a good idea. I have been thinking for months, possibly even a year (or even more), over whether or not I should break up with him. I care for him, I really do, but i'm not sure if i'm in love with him or even attracted to him (What the hell is wrong with me?!). I don't know whether its my mind having doubts about this, or me just thinking *how can he love me? Why would someone feel that way about me?* At this moment, my self esteem is at an all time low, I dont know whether or not that has something to do with this doubts that i'm having, but.... argh!! I don't even know what to write her, i'm so confused. What the hell is wrong with me?! If he really cares for me, how can I put him through this? What if I move in, then break up with him a few months down the line?
I don't know how I feel about him. I don't have any reason not to love him. He's..... what the hell is wrong with me? Why am I so confused about this? I'm in tears just typing this, so I apologise if it makes no sense at all. I just had to putit down and get my emotions and everything out. I can barely even think about things at the moment. Why am I thinking like this? Why can't I just be happy for myself for once?

Dan Payne: Sweetest Guy Ever?
Okay, I think that Dan Payne may well just be the sweetest guy ever!!
Recently, i've been feeling incredibly down because fo quite a few things that have been happening in my life. The one good thing amongst all of this is that my stepmum has been home from the hospital for about 2 weeks. But basically everything else is in complete turmoil and nothing seems to be going right.
Earlier tonight, I logged into Facebook to discover that I had been *poked* by none other than Dan himself. it mad me smile and I *poked* him back. Within a few minutes, he had *poked* me back. I did again, then he did it once more. This made me laugh as, usually, *poking* is only used between friends, so the fact that Dan, an actor who has featured in *Stargate: Sg1*, *Stargate: Atlantis*, *Alice, I Think*, *John Tucker Must Die* and more, has done this made me smile a lot and helped cheer me up slightly.
Then, when I logged on at about 3am my time, I saw that Dan had posted in the *Ask Dan Payne* thread on Gateworld and several times on his forum that I run for him- www.danpaynefans.net. I went to the gateworld post first and saw that he had mentioned both me and an upcoming contest that is going to be held on his forum. So, then, I went to his forum and saw that there were loads of people online!!! At one point, theer was 48 people online!! Waaayyyy more then there has been before!! and in one of threads, where i tell the rest of the members that I am making a fanvid for Dans character in *Alice, I Think* (John Macleod) and dan made this post:
*You will do it justice and then some as you always do! And I cannot thank you enough for always coming through with kindness and passion. If the Dalai Lama is right you have greatness coming your way...even more than you have now! I am still anxious to see the video as the memory will be great to have since the show is not being renewed. I would also like to thank everyone who emailed and tried to help prolong the life of the show. I so greatly appreciate your efforts. Catch you soon!
Peace,
DAN*
I cant believe he put something like that. I was at acompletely loss for words. Dan really is the sweetest guy ever.

Im Going To The Expo!
Oh my god.....
I dont think im going to be able to sleep tonight. I am on such a complete buzzing high!! Ive been waiting on my benefits so that I could go to the LondonExpo (which is this weekend) and my dad has said thats hes going to pay for me to go as a birthday present!! OMG!! How cool is that?!?! I can't stop shaking with the pure excitement I am feeling at the thought of getting to meet Paul McGillion (Its CARSON!!!!) and the absolutely amazing Amanda Tapping,w ho I probably wont be able to speak around as ive grown up watching her. She's going to be soooooo cool!! The real, full reason I am this excited is the fact that I finally get to meet Damian Kindler face to face! I've spoken to him, but never met him so I am sooo nervous about it. What am I going to say to him? I'll be shaking like a leaf!!
Oh man...... I need to calm down and to at least try to get some sleep.

Seriously Considering Moving To Vancouver
Ive been thinking today that I really need to do something with my life. My joints are getting bad incredibly quickly and if they continue to deteriate at this rate, im not going to have much chance to follow my dream of working in the media business.
Visiting Vancouver has been a long time dream of mine and I have recently started to think about what it would be like to live there. Vanocuver is becoming a center for media companies and tv/film productions so I would kind of be working for 2 dreams in one. If im going to do this, I need to do it soon, otherwise i'll be in no fit state to be able to do what I want to do. Ive just got to build up the courage to be able to ask my dad for help as I know that I wont be able to do it without him. Any kind of started job for a media company and I would do it! Hell, id even be teh tea lady if it meant getting my foot in the door. I just need to start planning it all out and find a way of doing it.
I feel like I need to do this. With everything that ive been through here in Yate, I need a fresh start and I need to start chasing my dream.
Now, to the planning!!

I need to vent, life is hell
Okay,
I am making this post as I seriously need to vent out my emotions and just get it all out there in the open.
To start things off, as you guys know, my step-mum has cancer. This weekend was the weekend in which she had her first lot of chemo therapy. I was worried an stressed enough by that, then my landlord decided to call me.
I cant stand my landlords. They dont seem to understand anything.
Last week, I was supposed to pay my rent. but I didnt, as I never received my income support cheque. now, I went to the JobCentre and told them all about it. they said that the cheque had been sent out. So either it got lost in teh post, or one of my 3 housemates took it. The JobCentre said that I would need to fill in a form if I wanted to claim back the missing cheque. So i did and straight afterwards I sent a text to the landlords son (who basically runs their business) to let him know what was going on.
So, anyway, as I said before, I recieved a phone call and text from my landlord saying, basically, that I need to pay them the rent that I owe tomorrow or they will start advertising my room.
Its ridiculous!! They know I cant get them that money! I seriously dont know what im going to do. Plus!! On top of that, I STILL havent heard anything about my disability benefits.
My whole life seems to be crumbling around me at the moment and its all just becoming too much. I just wish that everything would sort itself out and that i wouldnt have to worry anymore.

Just A Random Update...
Okay,
its been a few days since i've updated, so I thought that I should let you guys know whats going on at the moment with me.
First off, I am STILL waiting on my benefits. Its almost 12 weeks now! how ridiculous is that?! They said that they do it before 12 weeks, but nooooo. It's like they are doing this to just me. how long can it take to make one decision? if it takes any longer i'm going to be forced to borrow some money off of my dad to be able to go to the LondonExpo, but I really don't want it to come to that as I don't feel it's right to ask him for anything at the moment as my step-mum has her first lot of chemo this weekend.
I really want to go to the Expo as I really want to meet all teh Sanctuary fans that are going. And ive been asked to share a hotel room with 3 other people (possibly 4) so it will only cost me: £37.50 for the weekend if we just get one room and £60.40 if we get two rooms. Thats hardly anything at all. I dont think he would really mind lending me that money. Its not like I even need a lot of money for the weekend. I only want 3 autographs (Damian Kindler, Amanda Tapping & Paul McGillion) and if they take part in photo sessions, I would like to have my pictures taken with them. Then i'm going for a meal with 3 people on the friday night. But thats it! Thats not much at all. I'm not going to buy any other autographs or any merchandise, unless I actually have the money to but it.
I am begging the benefit people to make their decision in time. I have to go! I seriously feel like I have to! Damian Kindler says that he hopes I can go, plus Amanda Taping knows im going to!!
Come on benefit people!!!
PPPPLLLLLLEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bored.... yet again
Man...
I always seem to be bored at the moment, don't I?
It probably has something to do with the fact that everytime I try to something, my mind sticks in someway. I experience some kind of mental block about what ever it is I am trying to do. And, yes, I know that I am probably repeating things that I have said in previous blogs, but I am trying to find something to do!
I'll try to think of something different to write about.....
hmmm........
I'll think of something.................
Okay, I got something......
........................................... nope, it escaped me. What is it with my mind at the moment?
Okay.... i'll stop it now.
But I can't promise that I wont post another blog later

Looking for creative inspiration
As you probably guessed from the title of this blog, I am currently looking for some creative inspiration. I am trying to do several things:
+ Finish the Dan Payne/Alice, I Think/John Macleod Fan-vid.
+ Finish the Kate Hewlett Fansite.
+ Create my page for the *Sanctuary* Thankyou Book.
+ Write a fanfic to put in the series I am starting up about what John Sheppard & Teyla Emmagan (Stargate: Atlantis) do in their spare time.
+ Create live-journal headers for: The Sanctuary Fan-Art community, The Dan Payne Live-journal Community, The Robin Dunne Live-journal Community (And probably some more....).
My mind has come to a complete block about all of it. I never seem to be satisified with that I do on any of the pieces. Arrgghhhh........... I know what I want to do with each thing, but it never turns out that way, *lol*. If I try to do one thing at a time, it doesnt seem to work either. I've tried listening to different music, watching different films, etc... to find some inspiration, but nothing seems to be helping.
Man, why does this always happen to me? :P

STILL trying to make my John Macleod fanvid
Yep,
thats right, I am STILL trying to make my Alice, I Think/John Macleod/Dan Payne fan-vid!! I can't belive it is taking me sooo long. Everytime I try to do things and add clips to it, my mind blogs and I keep thinking that i've made it wrong so I take a lot of the clips away. I really want to get this video done as soon as I can, but I don't want to rush it, just for the sake of getting it done soon and then not be happy with the finished result. I want to get it right. I know that I have to. As its my first ever fan-vid, I want it to be as good as I can get it. Plus there is the whole fact that the subject of the video, Mr. Dan Payne, knows that I am making the video. That is making me really nervous as I don't want to disappoint him. I am determined not to change the music, but if I carry on getting it wrong, as it were, I think I may have to.
Have any of you seen the show? If so, what songs do you think would suit Dans character, John Macleod?
I have to get this done!! *lol*

Bored, Painful And Annoyed
Okay, I know that i've been posting a lot of blogs recently but i've been seriously bored and i'm getting annoyed about a lot of things.
Everything seems to be going insane around me.
As you know, theres finding out my step mum has cancer, which really threw things up in the air.
But, recently, i've been in constant pain. Like today, parts of both my ankles decided to just pop out and are now refusing to go back in. And the rest of my joints............ I cant even touch on the pain im feeling with those. i dont know why, but since I saw the doctor at the hospital, the rate at which my joints were getting worse has increased dramatically. Because of this, I cant carry my shopping home anymore, so I have to get a taxi everytime. And that decreases the amount of money I actually have to spend on food. I currently get £92 every fortnight and £52.40 of that goes on rent. Thats leaves barely anything for food anyway, with out the cost of taxis thrown in. If I seriously keepy living on this amount of money, I will lose weight (im skinny enough as it is) and my joints will continue to deteriate.
I need the disability living allowance that ive been waiting 10 weeks for or my health will be seriously damaged.

More Random Blogginess....
There I go again with that word!! *Blogginess*.... I think it might just stick with me for a while. I just need to work out exactly what it means, lol!!
Anyway, once again, I am completely and utterlt bored. Im at my dasd and my little sister and her mum are watching a 1950's film. And my Dad, as usual, has gone to play poker. Like her does every single sunday. If he's not playing it at the casino, he's playing it on the internet here. Or, ever so often, he meets up with my Uncle and some of his friends and has a poker night. Its all he does... and when anyone menions that he might be addicted he laughs it off.
I'm on my dad's pc and it annoys the hell out of me. It is sooo incredibly slow! It takes ages to do anything and he says its because there is so much virus software on it. I keep telling him its because its getting old and he needs a new one. And the internet service.... man its even worse then the rest of the computer!!
Its *Yahoo BT Broadband*... okay, its not bad for the basics, but if you have more than one yahoo account, like me and you want to check the emails of one, but stay logged into *Yahoo Messenger* with another id, it wont let you!! You can only have one Id logged in at one time. Why does it do that?!?! Yahoo must know that a lot of their customers have more than one account!! I want to stay logged into messenger with my main account but log into *Geoctities* with the Id I am using to create the *Kate Hewlett FanSite*... but nooooo. Boy, I am seriously considering writing a letter to the company and telling them that this is really awkward for people
I've had a few ideas today about what I want to do the *Kate Hewlett FanSite*, but, because of what I mentioned before, I cant!!!
Grrrrr..........
Anyway, once again, I am completely and utterlt bored. Im at my dasd and my little sister and her mum are watching a 1950's film. And my Dad, as usual, has gone to play poker. Like her does every single sunday. If he's not playing it at the casino, he's playing it on the internet here. Or, ever so often, he meets up with my Uncle and some of his friends and has a poker night. Its all he does... and when anyone menions that he might be addicted he laughs it off.

My Step-mum....
Okay, i'm at my dads at the moment and I cant help but think about my step-mum. I didnt think anything was wrong with her till my dad told me about her cancer.
But this weekend, she seems so different. It might be becuase she doesnt have to put up some kind of facade and pretend anymore that everythign is alright.
She seems like a completely different person and she is so different towards me.
I just hope that her chemo goes well and that she pulls through this.....

Asking For Help & Opinions With The Kate Hewlett Fan-Site
Okay, I told you that I would probably make another post about the Fan-Site and, well...... here it is!!!
Anyways, the reason of this post is to ask some opinions from you guys, if you dont mind that it.
Okay, the first question I would like to ask you all is about the *enter* page to the site. I have decided to put up a banner that people have to click on to gain access to the site. For some reason I seem to think that this makes the site look better (dont ask me why, *lol*).
Anyways, I currently have 2 *Enter* banners that I am considering using and I wondered if you guys could give me an opinion on them:

(This is 2 versions of the same image- one with text and one without).

What do you guys think of these? I would love to know!! Or, if any of you could make better ones, it would be sooooooo appreciated!!!
I also wanted to ask your opinions on the main banner for the site as this will be present on every page of the site (except for the *Enter* page ofcourse):





(the last 3 are, obviously, 3 versions of the same banner).
I would love to know your opinions on these banners. And, again, if any of you could possibly make better ones, I would love to see them!!
Thanx guys!!

Random Blogginess..... (Well, Not Really....)
*Blogginess*?!?!
Is that even word?
Man, I must be even more bored than I thought I was if i'm now making up words..........
Anyways, back to the blog. I'm currently in the process of adding things to the Kate Hewlett Fan-site that i hope to get up and running soon. At the moment, it is being hosted on Geocities, but I hope to get a proper hosting plan and domain name for it soon. I'm not dissing Geocities in anyway, its great for what it is and I find it easy to use, but I would rather have the site have a proper domain name. Plus, if I had it on a proper hosting plan, I would have more storage space to have pictures. And, with Geocities (the way i'm doing it anyway) I have to copy & paste the code into the HTML for every single pic!! And it takes ages to do!!
On top of that, I want to try to find a new layout as i'm not quite sure that the one I am currently using is quite right. Plus, i'm not sure about the logo banner.
Man....
am I paranoid or what?!?! I bet I sound like I think that the whole site is going to suck!! I'm not thinking that at all. It's just that i want to make the site the best that it can be before I open it properly.
The fact that Kate knows that I am doing the Fan-site for her makes me feel even more nervous!! I don't want to offend her in anyway. I want to be worthy of her and to me that means going through every single detail and checking that it works and that it looks as good as it can.
Anyways, i'll probably post some more later after i've torn my hair out trying to get it all right, *lol*.

Sanctuary Premieres on May 14th!!
If you havent visted the official blog yet, here is the post that we have all been waiting for:
*The first broadcast caliber Sci Fi series developed specifically for the Internet is almost here.
On May 14 2007 the first 15 minute webisode of Sanctuary will go live - with a new webisode being released every few weeks after that. A total of eight webisodes will be released for this initial run. The show can be watched online or via download and is, IMHO, best viewed via our Sanctuary Media Player. But that might be because I know the dude who built it. Seriously. His name's Sylvio. And he's a computer genius. And I know him.
As each webisode goes live, it will soon be followed by a new section of the Sanctuary website for you to explore. We are using actual 3-D rendered environments from the show itself as assets, so bottom line: It will rock.
Still more good news: A five-minute Sneak Preview of the series will go live on Sanctuaryforall.com Monday April 30, 2007. This Preview will offer exclusive scenes from webisode 1 and 2, giving viewers a good sense of the world of Sanctuary and some of the creatures that inhabit it.
One final note: You may have already noticed the Sanctuaryforall.com site has changed slightly. We've removed the log in requirements from the home page. You can now both stream and download from the site without needing to log in. You still need to log in to access the Forums (always a good idea!), but the trailer and title sequence are available to anyone - in any form - without needing to register on the site. Simpler, easier, better. Enjoy!
Thanks again for all your support! The future is here…

NCIS Icons
Here are some NCIS icons that I have made using a fab tutorial by ptmjbcs:



These are all really simple but cool looking icon bases (well, I think so anyway). If anyone uses them, please credit me and also comments would be welcome.
I also made one of them into an icon using filters made by spiritcoda:

She has cancer...
Okay, I apologise now if I seem a little off, but i've just found out that my step-mum has a rare form of cancer.
My dad decided to tell me that shes had it for 18 months whilst he was driving me back home today. I never thought that someone I know could get it. But no one ever does, do they?
Apparently, its a cancer of the lining in her stomach and its so rare that only one in eight million people get it.
Shes going to be going in for her first lot of chemo in 3 weeks, so im going to be a little... off.... for a while.
I know that I have to stay positive for my dad and my little sister so im going to try my best.

Trying To Find Inspiration....
I'm trying to find inspiration in anything I can.
I want to make some fan-art or/and do some more of my *Dan Payne/John Macleod* fan-vid, but I seem to have some kind of block.
Everytime I try to make something, it just falls flat and looks terrible. I dont know whats wrong. I never seem to have this problem usually. I can usually at least do one piece of fan-art or and one section the fan-vid, but now.... nooooo!!! its like my mind is refusing to comply with I want to do!!!
Ive been listening to music watching some episodes of season 4 of NCIS (as I want to try to make some NCIS fan-art) but nothing seems to be coming.I thought that watching the episode of NCIS that features Corin Nemec would help, coz I am a HUGE fan of his, but nothing!!!
Man!!I hope this *block* ends soon!!!

Random Post.....
Why am I so bored?!
I cant seem to do anything at the moment. What ever type of fan-art I try to do, I can't get it right. I've tried multiple times to carry on with my *Dan Payne/ John Macleod* fan-vid, but that keeps stalling.I dont even want to touch on my roleplaying posts!! *lol*
I hope its just some kind of block and that I can soon start everything up again, coz I dont actually have much else to do!! If I even have anything else *lol*!!

Bored..... in fan-vid making hell!!
Okay,I dont mean to sound bad or anything, but the only reason i'm writing this post is because I am soooooo bored and I cant think of anything to do.
I've been trying to for weeks (possibly even months) to make my first ever fan-vid. Its supposed to be dedicated to the great character of *John Macleod* from the hilarious television show *Alice, I Think*. I've got 5 of the episodes on the pc and i've got a song that fits perfectly........ I think. See!! thats one of the problems!! I keep doubting the music i've chosen. I've changed it god knows how many times. But i'm determined to stick with the one i've got!!! I dont want to start the whole video AGAIN!! *lol*
When I do actually finish the video, I will post the link to it here and see what everyone thinks. (It will be my first ever fan-vid, so be gentle.............)

Damn Those Benefit People!
I put in my application for disability living allowance about 2 months a go and they still havent given me a decision!!!
How can it be taking this long?!?!Im living on barely nothing at the moment, its ridiculous!!
The real reason im worried about it is because i want to use the *back pay* to pay for me to go to the LondonExpo at the end of May as Damian Kindler, Paul McGillion & Amanda Tapping are going!!
I feel like I have to go!! *lol*

My Hospital Appointment
Ive just realised that I havent posted about what happened during my hospital appointment yet and its almost been a week!!
It was almost exactly what I expected. I had to stand there, then lie there, whilst the doctor tried to find out how far my joints would go. He said that he thought that I have Hyper-mobility syndrome and then brought in some medical students to talk to me!!
I was thinking......... my joints arent that bad... are they?
After that the doctor came back in and said that he was going to take a blood test! It was the first I had heard about it. You would think they would of warned me!!! And I HATE NEEDLES!!!!!!!!!
So hopefully I will get the results of that soon

Swapping Places
Hey guys,
Okay, so my little brother is out of hospital. Which is great news!! He isnt completely better, but its progress and he can talk now!!
But, bad news.........................
im going into hospital tomorrow Its just an appointment with a doctor of Rheumatology to see if he can find out whats wrong with my joints. But I cant help but think the worst. Its always the same. One thing that really worries me is that my local doctor, who I saw last week to update my prescription of painkillers, said that he thought that the Rheumatology doctor wouldnt find whats wrong with me! I mean COME ON!!!!!!!!! What kind of Doctor tells you that?!
Im just hoping that he is wrong and that this hospital guy can FINALLY find out whats wrong with me as my joints are all getting worse. For examply, over this week, my jaw has started to click out of place everytime i speak.
Im getting sick of no one knowing whats wrong with me as i really want to know!!
Fingers crossed!!!!

Pegasus 2 rocked!!- Prt 2
It just kept getting better and better!!
I was stood outside the hall, waiting for the meet & greet to start, when I heard a voice over my shoulder asking where the bathroom was. I started to tell him that it was just around the corner, when I looked at him and was barely able to finish speaking!!
Because.... It was none other than MR. CHUCK CAMPBELL!!!Aka- The Gate Technician Of Stargate: Atlantis!!:

Another un-announced guest!!
Everybody was now jumping up and down in excitement!!
A few minutes later, the hall doors opened and I completely froze!!
It was the person that I was there to see, MR. DAN PAYNE!!!!Aka- The Super-Soldier, Ashrak, Sf of Stargate: Sg1 & the Uber-Wraith, Soldier Wraith & Lt. Reid of Stargate: Atlantis!!!:

My excitement was growing by the second.
When they finally allowed everyone in, we entered just in time to see a certain person leaving. The main guest of the weekebd: Mr. DAVID HEWLETT!!!Aka- Dr. Rodney McKay of Stargate: Atlantis & Stargate: Sg1!!!:

(once again....... To be continued..........)

Pegasus 2 rocked!!
I cant believe that it took me sooo long to post here about the fantastic weekend that was Pegasus2!!
The whole weekend was fantastic!!!
It even started whilst I was sat at the coach station in Bristol!!
I was waiting for the coach to be ready for us to board and the person sat next to me was talking to their friend on the phone when all of a sudden I heard them mention Joe Flanigan. My ears instantly perked up!!
As we were getting on the coach, I plucked up the courage and asked if, by any chance, she was going to the Pegasus 2 convention in London?
She said yes!!!
It was great!! We talked about Atlantis all the way down to London. Once we got off the coach then onto the bus that transferred us to the hotel (we were both staying at the hotel where the convention was being held) and discovered that the 2 other people on teh bus were also going to the convention!!!!
I was so excited once I checked into my hotel room!!
I met up with some of the people from the Dan Payne Fans Forum (which I run), but unfortunately they were all in the Meet & Greet and I wasnt (you had to have one of the first 300 tickets and I was no.495!). So I went back to my hotel room to get ready for the party that was to take place after the Meet & Greet finished at 10pm.
I made my way over to the party hall at about 9pm (so it was still technically the *Meet & Greet* hall). Turning a corner, who should I happen upon, but MR. AARON DOUGLAS!! Aka- Chief In *BATTLESTAR GALLACTICA*:

To say I was shocked was a slight understatement!!! He hasnt even appeared in Stargate: Atlantis!! (yet!!!). But I was told later that he *gate-crashed* Pegasus-one.
