[Elfëa]

Mwahahaha! :D:D:D

I got to start the thread! :trout: for the joy of it!

The first ever MI meet will take place on Sunday 9th and continue till Wednesday 12th March!

People: Elfea and glaelia!

Plan: To be cunning and evil and try to get a peek of filming the Prisoner of Azkaban. Also planning to swoon and be hilarious. :D

More updates later. :p

Cunning plans would be also needed. :D

[glaelia]

bwwahahahahaha!


I solemly declare i am up to no good!


;)

[Elfëa]

And neither am I.

any planning in order tonight? ;) Or shall we just face it tomorrow? :p

[glaelia]

TOMORROW! thanks to pete... i need sleep tonight! sleep and chocolate goodness! ack, and probably copious amounts of alcohol if he turns up....! ;)

[Elfëa]

Okie.

But tomorrow we have to make the cunning plan. (or shall we just go ala Gryffindor "Everyone! On the count of three!"? :D)

Mmm... alcohol? And I thought you were saving it for tomorrow ;)

[glaelia]

it's okay... i've got lots and lots ....... ;)



you do realise noone else is brave enough to post here.......


perhaps you should have called it something else.... ?? ;)



GO GRYFFINDOR!

[Elfëa]

Nah, they're just scared of us.

But ain't that what we're going to do? Call it something else? As? You think "glaelia and Elfea - the Teletubby plan?" :D would have been better? ;) :p

Is pete going to hang around? :D (after all, I'm just horny female... and if :eek: we don't get to the swoonworthy sights... ;))

Gah. I think they think we're drunk already :p

[Colli]

:D You guys are nuts.. have fun!

[Elfëa]

Nuts?

You're saying we're ONLY nuts? ;)

Oh, we'll have fun... :D

Any ideas how we could get to the studios? We have car to get us to the gates... ;)

[glaelia]

stalking trip shall commence this evening.....



bwahahahhahaaaaaaaa

:devil:

[sirius2004]

make sure to send us pics!!!....especially the ones of you guys being kicked out by the scary looking security gaurds :-D hehe

[Elfëa]

Copy from my livejournal: (and I hope I didn't use language there, cause glaelia might have to mod bad me...:eek: );)

Okie, last night we didn't post drunken posts but it was because we didn't get drunk. Had only one Reef (pineapple, nice).

My encounters by so far:

Left windy and bloody cold Bangor at 4.40pm train. It took me best of 3 hours to get to Milton Keynes, where the weather was nicely warm and only mildly windy. Unfortunately, I had to wait an hour at the station, because glaelia got stuck in the traffic on Msomething. (There had been an accident). So, while I waited, we continued communicating by text messages that mostly consisted of gahs.
glaelia arrived at last around 9 and we set of to find our way away from Evil!Milton Keynes. Eventually, after passing the station twice and going around and around on roundabouts. (Usually going round and round happened on the one and same round about, when glaelia forgot which way she was supposed to go - I actually thought, dozens of times, that she hasn't got a glue where we were going.)
Somehow, we ended up to her place, had tea and went hunt for chocolate. (Took some driving around to find a open garage that would sell us chocolate.) Watched HP/PS, but we just kept chattering all the time and eventually gave up and went online -searching any possible news about Leavesden.
I sleep on inflatabal matress, which, unlike when I stayed with Yavanna, didn't fart when we (or should I say glaelia, I just read the instructions ;) filled it. I didn't gave the trout I brought to glaelia, but I did show it to her (and you haven't heard the last of the trout yet... even if it's tail fin is now fallen of.)
We didn't really get any sleep during the night cause we kept talking till 5am. But, we also talked instead of all insanity... well, there certainly was some hilarious comments - the kind you get when talking in middle of the night, eyes closed and with that half-asleep voice.
One good quote from glaelia:

"I can sleep on my back, so when I'm pregnant, I can still sleep cause I can sleep on my back."

glaelia also sang the BANANA song, from Bananas in Pyjamas. She also smacked me everytime I mentioned Harry/Draco. But at least we both agreed that during time between PS and CoS, the actors had grown up loads.

Today we woke up around 7.30, but eventually got up around 8. Made bit changes in our plans and instead of heading of to Leavesden today at 9, we went to London around 10am. T00bed around on King's Cross Station, went to Borough's market (and glaelia refused to take pictures with her digital camera!) and then we kept going around around in busses and tubes. We had lunch on nice pizza/pasta restraunt From Leicester Square to Covent Garden to Trafalgar's Square (well, nearly there, my feet killed me at Charing Cross and we took the tube back to Leicester Squeare.
We went to see CoS on Mezzinae but both, me and glae, slept half of it (even if I think she got much more sleep than I did). I saw only Harry/Draco scenes and then I gave up and didn't watch the spiders. There were only six other peoples besides us and I tried not to speak half of the time I was awake.
Got back around 9pmish to glaelia's and are now watching Robin Hood (well, glaelia is, I have dislike to Kevin Costner) with some martinis. Plan for the rest of the night is to get some sleep and then wake up in the morning, hopefully earlier than today.
Martini's gotten really to my head and I keep asking spelling for the words and they still come out wrong.

"and cancel the Christmas." - the only reason to watch Robin Hood is that it has younger Alan Rickman on it.

We've been walking all day and my feet are killing me cause I've been wearing heels. Also saw glaelia's lovely horse today before we headed to London.
I've also disturbed glaelia's mind permanently - in the tube, I said to her there's nice looking bloke and she turned around, thinking there was someone bit far away, cause the person sitting next to her had long hair. The expression on her face was memorable - she didn't thought the beautiful person was sitting next to her. Luckily, we got of on the next station, so our giggling didn't disturb the people too much.
Also, we were in the restraunt, well, gah, there was a couple sitting behind us - just in my eyesight, behind glaelia's back. And, well, I couldn't help noticing that the guy was more than happy of seeing his girlfriend... and of course, I had to write this to my nice little note book and show it to glaelia. This caused fits of giggles (once again.)

So far we have had FUN FUN FUN and gah. (and gagagagagagagagagah!) Also have trouted each ther, taken pictures of King's Cross Station's bars, had hot chocolate, called each other mad and haven't brought any random blokes from tube home. Love glaelia. And no, I'm don't mean that kind of love, cause I'm unfortunately het. Even if I love gays. Gah.

Will finish now cause my typing is getting worse and I feel sleepy and also, starting to say rather silly things. And this took me 30 minutes to write.

Keep saying gah. all the time. Glaelia keeps laughing at me. Gah.

:notworthy Oh great wisdom!!!

[StarGazr]

*Rubbing my temples because they hurt so much...* Elfea.. glaelia.. I thought you guys were going to the set... I just read Elfea's LiveJournal and it doesn't mention the set anywhere... just your aimless wanderings around... somewhere while being half asleep... falling asleep during CoS (how could you!?) and watching Robin Hood (How can you hate Kevin Costner... especially in that movie??!!) Anyway... I feel like I've had one too many martinis and it's only about 6:45 my time... which means I got six hours sleep... so my question is... who's going to the set?

[Fleurdelacour]

well, nearly there, my feet killed me at Charing Cross and we took the tube back to Leicester Squeare.

Lazy! LAZY! :p I've walked all round Charling Cross (looking for a doughnut... Didn't find one) and walked to Camden from there, and back again! Pah ;)

Glad to see you had fun :)

[glaelia]

we went to the set today ;) elfea's going to update you though....



..... (elfea taking over the keyboard now.)

Okie, I didn't know I had to report you, but, here we go then.........

gah. Can't bother. Just a lesson: Never wear heals. Also, bright blue trainers are kewl. ;)

[lithorose]

Pardon my ignorance, but what's a trainer?

[ChianaWeasley]

It is I, the founder of these operations! :D :: stands on a cliff, cape flapping in the night's breeze::
I am not afraid to post here;) Sorry it's taken me so long, but I've had trouble getting here ::swipes forehead in exhaustion::
Fill me in please,LOL

[glaelia]

trainers = sneakers...



;)


fraid you'll have to wait till thurs night for decent update from me, i'm in cambridge tomorrow night... elfea may update more tomo, depending when she gets back to bangor...


needless to say we had lots of fun, giggled ourselves hoarse... trouted each other.... saw lots of hp related places and things... took copious amounts of pictures... discovered the secrets of the platform entrance at kings cross... and saw something big and purple.... can you guess? can you wait till thurs to see the pictures??? ;) ;)


glae

[Elfëa]

Well, well... back in Bangor now. :p

[Elfëa]

[ChianaWeasley]

Stamps feet and crosses arms in a childish fit. :mad:

It is linking but it depends on what is on that site that determines if it is appropriate. As long as you dont solicit members to go to your site as well.

it is just forbidden to make a link in your sig to another site. it is ok to link in sigs to MI and Council-of-Elrond

[Elfëa]

Tuesday: Get up at 8. glaelia doesn't wake up so I set the alarm wake her up again. Shower and she keeps sleeping. Finally manages to grumble out of bed at half past. Breakfast and so on. And the journey begins (note most of the notes are written by the Quick-Quote-Quill of elfea):

Muggle Informer Meet 1
Plan: Gryffindor
Reporter: elfea

Time: 09.09. glaelia says we'll leave before 10.
Time: 10.03 we didn't leave before then because glae said goodbye to her mother.
Time: 10.11 Sitting in the car, somewhere in Hitchin, glaelia ran off few minutes ago and told me to wait in the car until the police arrives.
Time: 10.15 glae returned. Read her what I wrote. She told me not to twist her words.
Time: 10.16 Stuck in Hitchin traffic
Time 10.18 Hitchin High Street. glaelia told me to wait in the car while she went to the bank.
Time 10.21 glae returened, and we're dashing of now, cause the police might catch us.
10.24 glae's a mutant. She also has bug-glasses.

glaelia dictating: Write: Note to self: Must not speak when eating chocolate as glaelia cannot understand me.

Note to self (not dictated by glae): Never talk to glae, she makes you nut/laugh/giggle continuosly.

11.00 found Leavesden Studious by Accident. (yes, by accident. even if glae insists she only followed the directions. But she was going "I think we took wrong turn in the last roundabout... WHEEE!!!"... Go figure.)

We drove around the studios! Spotted Knight Bus in the car park in side. Took as much pictures as we could behind the fences. Saw some people going in, no one famous tho. But then again, we cannot see through darkened glass, unfortunately.
Found also where they filmed "Mangolia Cresent" and took pictures.
We walked around and giggled a load for two hours.

Ellie's note (when we found the studios): glae's gone mad and high. Note to glae: Don't say evil! it hurts your throat.
glae keeps saying whee!

Convo in car, after locating the studios:
E: Can I scream?
g: Yes. Whee!
Ellie Screams. g stops dead cause of horror and disbelief that ellie actually screamed. Says also that it hurt her eardrums.

01.02pm following red Toyota Yaris that came from studios and was heading to same direction as we were.
1.15 White Hart Inn.
Turned around and followed the ar to an inn. Had lunch there and behaved. Tried to listen the possible filming crew (s)talks (that was interesting typo on the notebook), but they mentioned Harry Potter only few times. Kept going on about trees and paiting them. When we left we took notice that the car had purple (it was purple glae, wasn't it?:confused: ) sticker on windscreen, as had the car that followed us. Entrance permissions to the studios, we believe.

Tried to find Potter's Crotch but got only Potters Crouch Farm. (and I hope this line is PG. But we spend time on that and took pictures. So going to make lj icon... with some photoshopping;))

Went to St. Albans (where Chris Rankin mentioned he was staying during the filming), got lost, found directons and got lost following the. Stayed lost until we found our way to to Veralamium. Went to the museum and behaved. (Hey, we can be civilized). Gah. Was interesting.

Left St.Albans and drove onwards. (That our trip mostly consisted of. Driving around. That's when I kept writing in the note book)

Went from St. Albans to Rickmansworth and got a picture. (feeling jealous Colli? ;))

16.57 Stuck on junction from M3 for 5 mins already. glaelia singing, elfea singing. glaelia threathening to kill elfea. elfea/ellie going slightly mad.

Ellie's note, written in barely legible scibble: glae wants to kill me with hoofpick.
Note to self: never let glae play with the hoofpick.

glae sings: "Who wants to play with the hoofpick? I do." at least it wasn't as bad as my "Everything is yellow" song (when you look through Quality Street wrapper).

17.00 half way a round the roundabout, e getting tired, g bored. pedals (glae's got a teaching car!) interesting.

glae's note: elfea clearly insane. Sweet Eru, help me!

Road was closed - accident with truck. Someone had died. :(

Whinings of elfea:
1) glae doesn't let me go to swin. (there was lovely dirty lake by M3... I think it was M3... from... Bracknell... (Privet Drive))
2) glae says I'm not allowed to twist the language. (gah. I can say katering instead of catering. :p)

glae gives me a mirror and tells me to stare myself. The mirror shows my boobs. glae needs to wee.
I sing "Porsaita aidin oomme kaikki" in both Swedish and Finnish and glae said it was entartaining. I disagree. ;)

glae has black oily stuff "that is not as bad as orange" on her shirt. On v. bad place.

On the way back to St. Albans saw limo parked by the road. We wondered who could be inside. It didn't follow us when we drew past it (it was parked on weird place, looked rather like, just pulling over ;)). Didn't see driver and forgot to look for the sticker. Wondered what they were doing inside and glael said I've got dirty mind. Told her it tooks one to know other.

Had dinner at Claudes, lovely place, for £20. After dinner walked around in St.Albans - working through our Gryffindor plan. Went to the Bell. I got tad drunk on 4 bottles of Archers (two in the price of one).

No sight of Potter people. Made plans for Palmers Green. Wondering what they'll be filming there. Must be Mangolia Cresent. Also, how can the earlier "mangolia cresent" be the scene, as it was daylight shot....

glae went to wee. (again). She also bought lovely minitoothbrushes which I forgot to get for myself. [cencored comment about how teeth feel]

15 minutes later: glae must have got lost on the way way from toilet.

on the notebook:
glae: I didn't - my mummy phoned me - bless... thought I was considering climbing out the window to escape the lunatic fin...
e: I'm not a fin. I'm Finn.

[the convo that took place after this shouldn't be published anywhere. I'll kill glae if she does. it involved fancying and gays I think.]

e moment later: glae's dead. I'm going to kill her. or. At least not to talk to her for next 2 seconds.
g: okay, I won't say it again.
[I went to wee]
g: Elfea is a chicken.
e: glae's mean
g: and doesn't deny it.

We got home from St.Albans, glae's watching telly and I don't know if she updated her lj, but she told me to update. So, I'm updating even if it takes long time and I'll write longer entry probably tomorrow and it's already past midnight so it might take quite long till I'll get to tomorrow.
Also, Archers made me tad tipsy so better be off to bed. And I want to brush my teeth.


Favorite glaelia quotes of the day:

"What's the point of driving a car if you can't scare people?"
"elfea can't cackle."
"Dear God please don't die in my car."
"I've always wondered if I'm adopted cause my family is so pychotic and I'm sane."
"There's nothing wrong with bit of arse, girl."
"I like my bum."

glae's fave elfea quotes:

"I can't see through my head."
"Gah.", "Gah." and "Gah." with all different intonations.
"Weird."

That was Tuesday (it's bit edited entry from my lj. :p). I eventually fell asleep reading Horse&Rider. glae went to bed, hopefully at some point. We slept late and cause Milton Keynes is really really bad place and has no road signs to the station glae managed to get lost and I would have missed my train hadn't it been late. :p
But, I got back at Bangor on time.

And we're so going to go to Palmer's Green. Glae's really really mad host, and I think we had loads of fun, even if I was tad hyped at points and glae says I turned her sound evil on my lj entries. (note, Quick-Quote-Quill ;)).
And, every second sentence glae said:

"You're mad El". :p

[lithorose]

Time 10.21 glae returened, and we're dashing of now, cause the police might catch us. :LOL: Thanks, guys. I nearly had to pick peanut butter off my keyboard because of that! Sounds like it was a blast:D

[Elfëa]

Sorry. ;)

It was. :D

Even if glae didn't like my writing it all up while we were on the way. ;) Especially, cause I left out Why everything happened :p

edit: I think I forgot to mention on Monday/Sunday entry that glaelia's cat #2 tried to kill my toes. She (or was it he?) just attacted them!:eek: Like Whaaam! :rolleyes:

[glaelia]

HE HE!! pebbles is a boy! he may look like a girly cat! and his nickname may be julian clarely! and he may have an alarming wiggle to his hips! but HE'S A BOY!!


;)

[Elfëa]

Gah.

You didn't tell me you had gay cat!

That attacked my Toes! :eek:

(that's okay, my dog's bi :p)

[glaelia]

yes yes, you were right on msn... blinder....

HE'S NOT GAY! EVEN THOUGH HE HAS A GIRL'S NAME AND WE THOUGHT HE WAS A GIRL FOR THE FIRST EIGHT WEEKS OF HIS LIFE...


HE'S A BOY! AND we think he's straight... ???

[Elfëa]

You think? ;)

[StarGazr]

Thanks you two... that really lit up my night... Here's to more insane days with the two of you in a car... just don't get caught... well unless you get caught by a Harry Potter person... then you simply ask them to escort you to the set.. duh

[Elfëa]

Oh. The idea :swoon:

The only problem would be that we'd be fighting over him... (her :eek: ) Well, I think I'd get him if he were Draco ;)

Oh, we're so going to Palmer's Green... no car there tho... :p

[glaelia]

nope, no car, just a freddie!


;)

[Elfëa]

Nope. But I think we'll still have car back from the station? ;) I can always write then. Or... in the train :D

[glaelia]

GAH i'm going to confiscate that bloody notebook... you are not coming anywhere near my car, or my house with that thing....

:p

[Elfëa]

But how else I'm going to remember to post all the funny stuff then??? :confused:

[Xazinon]

Now now, don't fight! You both look lovely, I assure you! Looks like it was a fun trip! :)

Saw the Knight Bus eh? Very cool!

[Elfëa]

Xaz - see the other thread about Palmer's Green... THERE's Knight Busses! :p

[Xazinon]

Okay, okay, I saw the picture of the Knight Busses: neato! But surely they don't need two... you could've borrowed one and I'm sure they'd never have noticed! :D
