Said some lady at the door of the Casino when she asked me for ID when we were trying to get back in. The funny thing is, she said it to Gavin, who she didn't ask for ID. Odd lady.
Anyway, I don't think I've updated publicly in a very long time, so I'll do that now.
The 29th huh. Well, not that long ago. Excellente.
Gavin got back on the 30th, which was Friday, and that was good. Three weeks is far too long. Fish and chips is always the best dinner food. *nods* Watched The Siege. Not the best movie ever, but interesting none the less. Gavin also got heaps of DVD's from his sister, so we watched quite a few things... Family Guy (a lot of Family Guy), the beginning of this anime called Berserk that we might come back to later, and all of Helsing.
Saturday was good, a good end to an awesome year. For the actual "new years" stuff we ended up going to the casino early (I don't remember the time.. errr... 6ish?), and brought drinks beforehand. *nods* It was a good idea... saving money on the stupidly expensive drinks inside. Hehe. We hid in the car with our drinks, trying not to look like alcoholics. And of course, two cruisers is to me a completely different thing than it is to Gavin, so I think I was kind of amusing to him. Heh.
I didn't find the Casino to be the glittery well of class and neon that I expected. It was fun looking, although the carpet was awful, and I was glad people didn't smoke inside. But I can't see myself developing a gambling habit, yay! It's just not fun enough to get sucked in. We both bet $4 on a 1c pokey (sp?) game called Pyramids, where a certain number of balls (determined by you) are dropped down a pyramid with holes and... tabs? things? lumps? spots? on it. If a ball falls in a hole, you lose it. But if the ball makes it down to the bottom, you win some credit-points, which varies in value depending on the position and colour of the ball. And you could win free games, with no holes, and free balls. Gavin won something like $8, and I lost the entirity of my $4 (woe!). With his winnings, Gavin brought us a plate of chips from the food place across the way, which were very tasty.
Oh! I almost forgot the best thing about our little adventure into the Casino, and that was... our free Keno hats! Yesssss. Glittery and plasticy and fun, and free, which makes them all the tastier. Mine was red, Gavin's was gold, and people kept asking us where we got them from all the time *shakes fist*.
We didn't go into the Ruby Room because neither of us thought any nightclub was worth an entry fee.
So at about... 8pmish we went back to Gavin's place and had dinner :D. I cooked (go me), and it was a chicken stirfry thing. Man, I hate cutting/touching raw chicken. I have no idea why, but raw chicken just makes my flesh crawl. *shudders* But! Raw chicken aside, the meal was a success, yay! Then we watched Family Guy for a while, until new years o clock, where we did all that count down stuff.
Sorry
tattered_pinion for not going to the par-tay. I would have liked to have gone, but it is a long way and yeah and stuff. But, I'm sure the party was excellent even without my being there.
And as for today, well, it was an interesting to good day. Last night I was all by me onesies in my house since my mum and brother were at my Grandparent's house, and my Dad left for work at 2am, so instead of trying to sleep hearing noises and fearing things unseen and all that jazz, I just WOWed it up till I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. It worked pretty well, and now my Druid's level 12. Yay! 2 levels to go till cat-form, joyousness. I feel like I should have had a gold by now though. *hangs head*
One of the guards in Brill is called Gavin. He is not handsome at all, no resemblance to my Gavin whatsoever, but nevertheless I shall screencap 'im once WOW is back. Sigh.
I've been drawing lots. I am yet to get my uber-shelf though, so I have no printer/scanner for
Idril yet. Le sigh.
But while I'm on the topic of that awesome and useful present, it's this --->
It is as yet unnamed, but it'll get a Silmarillion themed name... in keeping with Idril. Possibly someone of her family. Ooh, fun. Not Turgon though. Oh no. He's far too important to be a printer/scanner, even if it is cute.
GASP, perhaps his name will be Elrohir. I'm saving Elladan in case I get a laptop someday. Yes. Well, that's that then.
What was I saying? Oh yes. I've been drawing a lot lately. I've drawn myself as Dread Pirate Ghan, Ithika the Undead Rogue munchin' on some delicious human-flesh, and Loslaith the Druid standing there looking pretty, as Night Elves are wont to do.
Today, I got myself a jacket. It ended up only costing me about $20, which is just grand, considering it was originally $60. YAY. It's awfully cool. You'll all see it eventually.
Dear god I love crosshatching!! It just makes shading so easy and good. I go now.
Quotes for thought!
Yes, you think that, with your soft, human brain
Oh, I have something funny to share with all of you:
Now I go.
