Before getting to the meat of the matter, a moment to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY allopen !</span> I am sorry that Russell T. Davies has decided to torture you for it and have my fingers crossed he redeems himself. I feel that Joss Whedon has probably started fangirling RTD, so good luck.

Right. Now, you HP folk who constitute most of my flist. At this moment we constitute two groups. The first group are all carting themselves off to one of my favourite American cities and taking the Harry love to San Francisco for Azkatraz. Everyone in that group, raise one hand. Right. Piss of the lot of you, you have enough fun planned for the next week.

Now, everyone else. Congratulations on your decision to embrace the joys of home. Hurrah for having ready access to a laptop and blanky! But I suspect that you, like me, just know that other lot are going to be skiting their glee to the hilltops and alleging that they are having the BEST TIME EVER!!! even if their room-mates are all flatulent snorers and they are being stalked by a Hufflepuff cosplayer with haliotosis. So, I suggest we make our own fun.

And in fact, I am even willing to get off my arse and do some organising to this end. (Don't give me that look, it happens occasionally!) But I need guidance to know what people would like to do, because having fun by ourselves is ... going to lead to smutty jokes. Stepping away from that conversational abyss, I offer the following poll.

I've used check boxes because I can be taught ;-) BTW, please mentally add in the other exclamation point, I had exceeded my daily quota ...
