Pretty Fantastic

You know, back when we Stickamers first started talking about meeting up somewhere I have to confess I really thought there was no way it would happen. We were (and really still are) a small group of people that got on brilliantly and had a lot of laughs, but I expected interest in stickam to dwindle and for everything we had ever talked about concering Stickens would just become another dream... Well, I have never been so happy to be proven so wrong.

We recently had our first anniversary and Stickens is mostly booked with people actually making arrangements rather than just talking about them. It's pretty fantastic the level of commitment people are showing to it.
And tomorrow when I get that deposit cheque and send it off I know that I am going to be buzzing with anticipation until August, at which time I will explode with excitement.

This year is going to be remembered by all those attending as the most awesome year ever and I can not wait to be part of it!

STICKENS FTW!

What's Going On?

Ah yes, my blog. It has been a while hasn't it. Guess it's time for an update then eh?
Right let's see, what's happened since I last updated... Hmm. Well christmas and new year's have been and gone, and really that's about it.
I really do wish I had something slightly more substantial and infinitely more interesting than the blindingly obvious passing of that which passes every year, but life is kind of slow right now and there's not that much happening.
I have however noticed of late that Tokbox isn't as active as once it was, this could be put down to people returning to school/work/life, the sudden disappearance of Space Boy, and Sylvr's sans internetness; but I suspect a goverment conspiracy...

Ah right, one thing that is happening, hopefully, is Stickens. We have two possible places to have it (thanks to Indie who found them) outside of Edinburgh, and as March is now fast approaching it really would be a good time to get things organised. I'm going to put together a PM/e-mail to send to all those interested in attending (right now it's stickam/tokbox regulars only. The main thing will be getting the money together to get the cottage booked (it's £450 for the week), then we can all concentrate on our travel arrangements. I really do think this meet-up will be a totally awesome and fun filled week so I would really love to see it happen and perhaps become an annual tradition. Anyhow, look out for those PMs/e-mails in the coming week or two.

Hopefully something exciting will happen soon for me to blog about, it very well could because there are still lots of competitions I've entered that I don't know if I've won yet :D

Seeya folks,
