<center><b>Furries, Emos, and Homoeroticism
UK Meetup '07</b></center>
I made it into the Birmingham train station about 9:00am. I was a little hungery so I got something to eat and then tried to call Iceglow. It went straight to the messaging service so I figured his phone was off or maybe he didn't have a signal where he was so I went off to explore a little bit. I remembered where a shop was that sold vinyl records from last time I visited so went off that way. I also so another around and went to that one too. They didn't have Grateful Dead like I was looking for, but I did buy a Motley Crüe record. Then I went back to the station and tried to call again. Another failure. I wasn't sure what to do at this point so I went off on my own. I found the hotel, the Leeza statue, McDonalds, and other palces I remembered from my last visit. Eventually I tried calling again from in front of the hotel. Still no answer. This time I left a message. Iceglow never got the message. I hate you O2 messaging service! You've become my sworn enemy. That message is out there somewhere and I won't stop hunting you down until he gets it! After that I went back to the train station. This must have been just before they put up the undead heros wanted for internet geekery poster because it wasn't there yet, so I went off to wait in front of the hotel. After a bit I saw a group of five people walking by and instantly knew who they were, mostly because I could pick out Zorander even though I had never met him before. I walked right past them, took a couple of steps and then spun around. This caused Iceglow to turn around so we all met up: Iceglow, amratis, Zorander, Baloki, his furry friend Miles, and myself. They all introduced themselves inside the hotel by their real names. Not I. I required them to use theundeadhero the entire timeZorander looked a little like David Bowie, amratis was the only girl and so was chased by us all the whole time, Iceglow had red hair, and Baloki's voice was much deeper than I expected. It's because he's a <b>Manly Man</b>. We waited some at the hotel until it was time to meet up with psi and Jack. I had already met Jack before. Then we went back to the hotel for a while untli we decided we were all "hungry". We were led away to Pizza Hut. Once there we saw napkins and decided we had to sign them, but we had a problem. There was no pen. I let the waitress know that I just happened to be a hero to the undead kind everywhere and that these fellows were my cohorts. Together we fought off my arch-nemesis thelivingvillian. I asked her if she would like to help. We desperately needed to write a message. It was a very important message and everything depended on it. We needed her pen to write it. She walked away. I hope thelivingvillian captures her, turns her flesh inside out, and sets her free in a pen full of hungry alligators for this treachery! I got a pen from another waitress and we drew away so there should be another napkin up for auction on ebay again sometime soon. We eventually wound up at Weatherspoons where I drank these things called <i>pints</i> of Newcastle and everyone generally had a good time. I feel a little bad because throughout the weekened I teased/flirted some with Zorander and I'm not even half-gay, but it was fun. Jack says he didn't take some random strange girl up to his room that night and make babies, but we kept calling him to ask if it was alright to come upstairs and it never was. We all made video LJ entries on a video camera, and then amratis, Iceglow, and I got naked. The next day we met up Psychotic, the worlds greatest walrus enthusiast, and Badgemaker. themagicroundabout was supposed to hang out for the day, but we couldn't ever get ahold of him
On the way to the sea-life center terrorist kidnapped psi, Jack, amratis, and Iceglow, holding them hostage in a store with the cover of "buying sunglasses". There was only one thing to do. I went in to extract them. I found psi first and led him outside. Then I had to go in deep to find the rest. I stayed hidden, snuck in, and managed to get Jack out without really being noticed. Iceglow and amratis were the tricky ones. It seems they were bait to lure me into a trap! I was captured. Zorander saved us all. Also on the way we went into some store to buy sandwhiches or something. It had a very narrow aisle so me and Psy decided it would be best to stand in the middle of it to block it off. Our timing was excellant! Right away a very frustrated lady tried to push past us. We died laughing and that was the end of that adventure. For the most part of the rest of the day I hung towards the back talking to Psy, except in the sea-life center itself. There I generally wandered around by myself. While waiting in line a turtle dared me to a race and everyone wouldn't let me back out of it. Apparenty this turtle had also dared several other young children to race him as well. I beat the turtle, but those kids were fast as hell. About halfway through I wound up tripping over my shoelaces and falling all over the place
We ate chinese that night, bought alcohol, and stayed in at the hotel for the most part. Everytime I was naked this weekened I was followed by shouts of, "Hey! It's a naked hero".
You, more than onceOH SHGSKJDGTSKDGAN!~ well who showed him a pic of me!?
