Adventures with chomaisky

Yesterday I got to meet the lovely chomaisky in person in London - how awesome is that? Even better, we are meeting up again on Thursday when cho is coming to mine to sample the delights of my little town. So clearly my cunning plan to bore her to death by taking her round the Magna Carta exhibition in the British Library didn't faze her at all.

Anyhow, the reason for this post is to show y'all the beautiful drawing she did for me - such a lovely surprise, and now I'm the proud owner of a chomaisky original! So obviously, I'll be framing it. Sorry the photo isn't the best.

Thank you so much my dear, I'm so chuffed with this - as well as the pretty paper cuts to add to my collection!

Oh my god, this is awesome! *u* You're such lucky girl.

I'm glad you had fun with her; I was sad when I found we were both in London but at different times.

I wish timings had been better too - at least we get to meet in Rome, hey? :D

You are a lucky woman, both for the company and the art. But of course chomaisky is lucky as well! I just wish I saw any prospect of making it across the pond in the foreseeable future.

I would love to show you round places if you did ever make it over here - there are so many of you I'd dearly love to meet... Maybe one day.

I spent two years in Oxford, once when I was 8, once when I was 22, but sadly both were long before I discovered fandom. (Well, it's probably just as well I hadn't discovered fandom in all its porny glory when I was 8.)

Ha ha no, that might have been either traumatic or puzzling or a bit of both....

I love my online community but it's extra great to actually meet for real - wish we could do it more often and with more of us!

What a lovely time! That's the one lament I have of making friends on-line: the distances. Glad you both had fun!

EDIT: THIGH HOLSTER!! That is a dandy, dandy sketch!

Yes, it would be wonderful to find a way for all of us to get together, maybe once a year for a massive fanlovefest.

And the sketch is beautiful, isn't it? I'm so lucky!

I've only had two, but they were wonderful, I came home absolutely ecstatic.

And you got an original piece of artwork, lucky you ♥ ♥ ♥

Yes I haven't been disappointed with a fangirl meeting yet (even the one woman who doesn't speak to me anymore was fun at the time LOL)

:DDD I am lucky to have you as the guide while I'm in London! You're so cheerful! Paul is adorable too! <3
I wanted to give you something personal, and was trying to get something decent on paper till the last minute (damn you art block!).
See you in Ipswich! :))))
