OptimismSummer Recap
Haven't updated since July so I thought I'd put up a lil something something. Here's what I've been up to over the summer, starting with activities, games I've been playing, and finally a brief recap of Summer of Sooooonic~
Activities
~ Graduated! Fuck yea! Got a Desmond Tutu, which isn't all that. But is actually pretty fucking incredible when you're convinced you flat-out failed!
~ Working, saving up money for my trip to Taiwan (which is next month!)
~ going pub with my manager/Luke/other random people
~ going to Essex to see my best friend Brett (EzFoxie)
~ London Gay Pride 2009 (had an argument with some lad, which actually happens every year xD)
Games I been playing
~ Scribblenauts, (NDS)
~ Bangai-O (NDS. well, trying to play!)
~ Final Fantasy Dissidea (PSP) (my Cesspot's on lvl.60 so far ^__^)
~ Mario Kart
I don't have the patience for non-handheld games atm
Summer of Sonic
What can I say about this year's Summer of Sonic? Jesus, what can I not say? Was every bit as good as the first year (and I reckon that means alot coming from someone who won 2 x NDS plus a shitload of games/Sonic merc at the first) but in different ways. It was, to quote Brett ; "off the hook!"
I told myself I wasn't even going to try and sum it up, but the blogger within me has got the better, so I'm going to try and relay my experience;
# Me and *Papiyon were about half an hour late (on account of me not really understanding the way the Metropolitan line works. Sorry Han =/) but not late enough to each get a copy of the awesome art book ([link] ). We were greeted at the door by a smiley ~vger ( ^.^ ) and proceeded to go on and mingle.
# I was soon pounced by ~Orengefox00 and ~JenHedgehog who, OMG, I'd known online (via the old Sonic Classic boards) but never met! (actually, alongside Stones and L33t k1w1, they are the only SClassicers I've met so far). Me and the happy married (yes -MARRIED!-). Diamond proof that online relationships -can- absolutely work) couple went off to try out the new Sonic Mario Olympics game (we tried the DS version as the queue for the Wii one was way too long =S).
# The 3 of us then went to sit and draw, and *Roareye and ~Siriku came over, doing their bickering-married-couple-who-love-each-other-really routine
# I don't even remember what happened next, but after whatever it was myself, Siriku and Hannah went to find food. The journey there was epic ; it was hard and long and seemed to last HOURS (Dang I was hungry. Han ; did we even have breakfast that morning?)! The journey back seemed like about 5mins though
# We went to KFC. I -think- I got the 3 chicken strips dealie (correct me if I'm wrong, guise). Whatever I got (and you know I got a large, this is a HelenBaby journal you're reading
) it sure as hell wasn't enough, and I had to order some of those new 99p wrap barbeque-sauce-and-cheese things to fill me up, while those guys reminisced about the fun they had on =puritylf4's old Hott Dimmensions board# When I got back my boi EzFoxie was there, so the two of us found a bunch of fellow furfags and just chilled outside for a while
# Then we all went in and just watched the antics on stage. Was great to see Rouge-gurl (who all the boys fancied btw) and my buddy ; the equally smexy =syaming-li win some awesome prizes!!!!
# Won't even go into the afterparty. I'm just going to say that it was fucking fantastic! Must mention two key names here ; ~shimmyshammy (you fucking legend!) and ~vger ( ^.^ )
But there are plenty others. Pretty much everyone I spoke to contributed to it being, well, beyond amazing! Don't make me list y'all, haha.
Me and Hannah also met up with a small group of folks (~vger et al) the next day. Was abit of a wind-down ~ but still extremely enjoyable! Everyone at that meeting apart from me and Hannah had to catch a train home that Sunday at some point, and it was pretty sad saying bye to peoples =/
And then the next day Hannah had to go home, and that was the saddest goodbye at all =/ I'm so glad you decided to stay til Monday though, hun! Was great that I could introduce you to my brother and those lovely twinsies! Methinks there's now only one of my siblings you have yet to meet (friends of mine hardly ever get to meet them all xD. But Louise-face should be around these parts for a while...)
Well, it wasn't really sad saying bye to Hannah tbh. Because I know for sure that as soon as I get back from Taiwan I'm totally making going to check out a priority!
Hollars to the following ;
AND ofcourse ;
*throws hedgehog-shaped confetti*
Congrats you two! What an awesome couple, I hope to see more of you both in the near-future...
