Message in a bottle

hmpf(Imagine me standing on the beach of my tiny island, throwing a bottle into the endless seas of the internet. The bottle contains the following:)
1.) I owe people replies to comments here. I appreciated your taking the time to advise me. Will get around to replying... one of these days.
2.) I owe beccatoria replies to e-mail, but I'm pretty dead tonight, after fighting with various online booking interfaces for hours.
3.) I owe many people, but especially dashan and anduranova, calls, mails, or some other sign of life. (Also, promised presents from ages ago.)
4.) I owe everybody some LJ attention.
5.) I owe the Collators' Den crew... something. At the very least, a statement of some sort.
6.) Ditto for fictionbox.de.
7.) Ditto for the farscaped mailinglist, to which I am a horribly neglectful mod at the moment.
8.) Still stuck re: my thesis.
9.) Haven't been able to do any jewellery making in the last six weeks.
10.) Haven't talked to my thesis advisor. Etc.
11.) Etc. etc. etc.
So,
12.) I'm going to Britain for a week, rather spontaneously. Putting my money where my mouth is regarding the whole ecology thing, I'm travelling there by train (which, amazingly, takes less than six hours, and costs a relatively affordable 79 euros), and back by coach (fourteen hours and 75 euros). I really don't have the time for a holiday, nor, technically speaking, the money - but my last holiday (my last visit to Britain!) was in early 2006... definitely too long ago. Plus, I'll get to talk about my thesis with beccatoria, and since I've been desperate to find someone to talk things through with for months now, that alone is reason enough to go. (I'll be taking my comics for her to read.) Also, she's moving to Korea very soon, and the world might end, and stuff. Better have a meet-up while we still can.
Since I'll only be in Britain for seven days, and don't really have a lot of money, I don't think I can manage to go anywhere to meet up with other people this time. (Also, remembering the last time I tried to see OMG!EVERYBODY!!!;-), I don't think I have the energy for it this time. I love you guys, but having to travel through half the country without staying anywhere for more than a day or two is exhausting.) I hope I'll be able to do some more extensive travelling again in 2009 or 2010.
Or, hey, you could come here and visit *me*! *g*
Oh, and
13.) Holy shit! What happened to the pound? At the current exchange rate shopping for chocolate and blu-tack looks downright affordable!
