What's been going on lately! AKA: the newly mandatory post!
Alright, so I'm determined to make myself post on LJ more, for some reason, I keep putting it off. So, here's what's been happening lately. Hmm, where to start.
Well, a couple of weekends ago, Freya, Merric and I got together, and went to "On the Rocks" on Jasper ave, to see King Muskafa, who are taking the stage there, every Sunday night for a while. We ran into Litton on the bus, and she told us about another bar down Whyte ave the has celt night on Tuesdays, I'm gonna have to ask her for the name of it again. Freya got us a veggie platter, and I got some poutine, while we were waiting. King Muskafa is pretty good, I can see why Freya's so addicted. Might go again some time soon.
The following night, I joined Freya, Merric, and Katsia (sp) for an evening of random anime watching. We bought munchies, and hung out at Freya's. Still kinda bummed I didn't bring Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, would have been great. We watched Mushishi, Kaiba, and Planetes, as well as a few other things.
Went to Tnasha's B-day party on the 30th, Freya, Merric and I met up at Tnasha's place, and we hung out at her place for a bit, before taking the bus to WEM. Something amusing during the walk to the bus stop, there was an elderly man walking his dog, he wasn't the most... Esthetically pleasing of people, to put it nicely. Being my dog loving self, and seeing that the dog was looking up at us and trying to come over, all cute like, I was all `Hey cutie!` to the dog, and the old guy`s head jerks up, seems like he may have thought I talking to him. Ack! Anyways, after walking the mall for a while, we went to The Old Spaghetti Factory for supper, and Tnasha called her friend Joey to join us. They`ve got really good prices, I must say! $10 for Spaghetti with meat sauce, tea, and ice-cream afterward is nice! Freya bought the card game Munckin at Comex Hobby, so we were playing that while waiting for our meals, I think Tnasha was bored. ^^; I loved it though, really tempted to get it now. Went to Arcade after. Playing Drum Mania again, has just refueled my desire to get a PS3, so I can get Rock Band. Was a good time.
On Sunday, Merric and I went to the Backstreet Boys Concert. *waits for laughter* They sound exactly like they used to, which is great. In a fit of Nostalgia, I bought the tickets, hoping that they'd be singing some of their older stuff, and they didn't disappoint. I think I almost split my lip, grinning like crazy when they played Everyone, and Backstreet's Back. I bought a tshirt, and a burger right before the concert, we managed to make it back to our seats with our food just as the lights were dimming for the opening act "Girlicious" I... may have pulled out my DS and been reading my beautiful ebooks during most of that act. *sweatdrops* Honestly, having realized that night that I've been a fan of BSB for over 10 year, I almost feel old. Yeah, pure awesome.
Went to Neko-chan's cosplay party on Monday. We met up at South Gate, and took the bus back to her place. They gave me an Anime Alberta tshirt, which is awesome, I didn't even know AA tshirts had even been made! We managed to catch the bus to West Ed, and met a Death Note fan, and her boyfriend on the bus. Once we finally got to WEM, we finally realised that, Hey! It's a holiday, that's why everything is closing already! XD; TnT was still open though, so we went through there, bought Ramune, and "Sea Salt ice-cream" We pretty much just hung out in the mall for a couple of hours, and then got some food. Everyone left after that, as our buses came. It was quite a bit of fun, despite not having done much.
This past Tuesday, I went in to see if I can get into the Learning Store, and sure enough, I'm accepted. This means that I'm gonna have to start right over with a few subjects, but there's teachers there that you can go to for help, which is the main reason I want to go there, not having a teacher of any sort is a real bitch when you get stuck. Having some sort of assurance of assistance is such a huge relief to me, I'm fairly optimistic about my chances of finally getting somewhere with this whole finishing high school thing. So far, so good.
Wednesday, was Tavern night again, I was a bit late, but met Alaria and Koosh as soon as I got in the door. Turns out, Alaria is now addicted to World of Warcraft. I'm so proud! XD I'm gonna have to make a new char on here RP server, and join their guild. Anyways, the three of us discussed WoW for a bit, before Sam 2 came out and found us, followed by Sam 1. More random chatting. Turns out they had food left up front this month! Very tasty butter chicken and nan bread! (I went and bought that sauce directly afterward.) More chatting inbetween mouthfulls. Alaria's mom mentioned that they had some garb in their car, about my size, that they were looking to give away. So, I now have some garb of my own, no more Gold Key for me!
Had to cancel this weekends anime marathon, due to company coming from Saskatchewan. Gonna have to miss the Harvest Touney that's going on this Sunday down by Red Deer, as well as the Garrison's picnic, also on Sunday, tis a bummer. We're rescheduling the marathon for the 20th, hopefully that'll work out.
As for upcoming events, Koosh's B-day is on the 13th, on the same day as Nessa's next call to garb, at Zen Sushi, so she's thinking that we can go through the corn maze before dinner, and make a day of it, will be fun!
Neko-chan's B-day is on the 14th, dunno if she's planning to do anything.
Lirin's 19th B-day is on the 19th, which also happens to be one of her lucky numbers, so she's pretty excited, pretty cool! I still haven't figured out what I'm gonna get her though, gonna have to hurry up and think of something. Hopefully we'll be able to do something around that time.
Nanowrimo is approaching quickly once again. We're having an all ages countdown this year, I've heard. Figures the first year I could go to the Countdown (usually held Halloween night at a bar, Hudsons, I think.) it's all ages, ah well! XD; I still don't have a plot, hoping something'll come to me.
Thinking about, assuming I have time before the countdown, of course, going on a tour of haunted places in Edmonton, led by Litton's daughter.
That's pretty much everything I could possibly think of. Will have to do this more often, in smaller, more frequent posts. XD;
