I need a John Barrowman icon as soon as possible

I was going to write all about my long weekend in London: how I almost missed my train in Brussels, how close I sat to the stage for play Inherit The Wind in The Old Vic and how I noticed Kevin Spacey was once again in awe of my cool shoes.
How I met [livejournal.com profile] fred_bear from Australia (who just happened to be in London after traveling on the TransSiberia Express, a trip I made in the opposite direction about ten years ago), how we talked an shopped in Camden and went to a film together (Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistent).
How John Barrowman's performance of I Am What I Am in La Cage Aux Folles made me sob (and how I tried to pull myself together again during intermission).
How I spent two nights in delicious baths and hours on the train reading Postcards From No Man's Land by Aidan Chambers.
But I already spilt my guts in Dutch and posting the pictures took longer than I thought, so I'm going to direct you to my photoblog for an impression of my wonderful weekend. For those of you who can read Dutch I added links to the full report:)

So glad you had an awesome time. Today's my last day away, get on the flight home to Aus tonight.

'Twas great to meet up with you in Camden! :)

It was a whirlwind weekend; so much fun, so little time. It was very cool to meet you. Hope you had a good flight home!

Okay, try to guess how jealous I am? Ugh, shopping in London, meeting fangirls, going to the West End. *cue steam coming out of ears*

I Am What I Am has made me cry too, and it wasn't even live, so don't feel bad! Man, I wish I could go back to London right now, even just for one day. It all sounds so... perfect! And relaxing! Glad it was such a fantastic weekend, despite the train shenanigans.

Ahw. Well, I asked you to come along! Let's start saving time and money for a future trip, mkay? It is my mission to see Kevin whenever he's on stage, so there will be a next time, I'm sure.

I had already forgotten about the train-troubles by the time I arrived in London. The overload of fun easily outweighed the travelstress:)
