This Just In:

[merelyn]

I JUST GOT MY TIME OFF DEFINITELY APPROVED AND I BOUGHT MY PLANE TICKETS AND MY EUROSTAR TICKET AND HOLY SHIT GUYS I'M GOING TO PARIS AND LONDON IN TWO MONTHS.

I'm leaving here Friday night 4/10 and flying into Paris in the early afternoon on Saturday. I WILL GET TO SEE AND STAY WITH sovietkitsch.

I'll be there until Thursday 4/16, and then I'm taking the Eurostar into London early Friday morning on 4/17, and I'll be IN LONDON for TWO WHOLE DAYS before flying out of London back to New York on Sunday.

SO. LONDONERS. WHO WANTS TO COME PLAY WITH ME?

(Also, does anyone have any good hostel recs in London?)

I'ma write to Katie and ask for her recs for you :D

Thanks! (Whee!)

You are most welcome at mine. A bit north, unfortunately, so if you want somewhere more central, I'm happy to get recommendations from my housemate, who appears never to spend the night at home.

Oh, that's so nice of you! <333 I will definitely keep it in mind. I do tend to be one of those lazy convenience freaks who likes to be centrally located, though I'm still trying to sort out what I'll be doing/where I'll be staying/blahblahblah.

I'm not a Londoner but I WANT TO SEE YOU.

But I can come see you on the Saturday!! (Oxford is not too far from London).

There's a youth hostel just off Oxford Street (it's called the Oxford Street one) which is ok...but you could probably do better. It was £25/night last time I stayed there.

YOU SHOULD TOTALLY COME SEE ME ON SATURDAY. *bounces*

I'm also looking at a hostel across from the British Musuem (which is #1 on my list of touristy things), but I'll check that one out too. :)

OMG, I am so so jealous. I haven't been back to England or France in almost 5 years. And a whole week in Paris! Have a wonderful time!

[merelyn.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It's my first time going to either place (and my first time going out of the US except for Canada in 10 YEARS) so I'm SO EXCITED.

Oh, and I might have a hostel anti-rec for you. I stayed in this terrible place in London, which was centrally located but had rooms like a penitentiary.

And I can't believe you only have two days in London. How do you plan to fit in all the awesomeness into 48 hours?

PS: Most appropriate Eddie Izzard icon EVAH. Heeee.

How do you plan to fit in all the awesomeness into 48 hours?

Don't sleep AT ALL and crash out on the plane on the way home?

Yeah, there is a lot of awesome in there. Sadly it's a side trip this time around, but hopefully I'll get to go for a lot longer some other time. :)

And I love that icon even more that it's suddenly so appropriate!

JELLIS. I want to go back to Paris so f'n badly.

[merelyn.livejournal.com]

If you weren’t inconveniently located on the other side of the country I would definitely stuff you in my suitcase. :) I’ll have to hit you up for all the awesome places to go.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

[merelyn.livejournal.com]

*bounces* I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU.

BETWEEN THIS AND MINIMERLIN TWO WEEKS BEFORE MY HEART WILL EXPLODE FROM THE AWESOME.

j_apollo is being awesome trying to wrangle something via merlinmeet I think, even though I'm coming in the weekend after a meetup. Haha abuse of power!

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Oooooooooooooooooooooo!!

[neptuneskisses.livejournal.com]

Yay! I just live in a tiny studio so can't offer a place to sleep but would definitely love to meet up! Let's swap mobile numbers nearer the time!

[merelyn.livejournal.com]

No worries! syllic has offered to put me up or I might just stay in a hostel in the middle of one of those touristy neighborhoods, we'll see. :)

YES. We should definitely meet up/swap numbers! (\o/)
