(no subject)
Nick and Adam have just left and now I'm left all alone in an empty house :( But apart from being by myself now I had a pretty awesome weekend :D
Nick and Adam turned up on Thursday night and we ordered curry from the nicest curry in Derby, possibly the world ;D The delivery driver remember me from last year even though I have different hair and live in a different place now. He asked me where I'm originally from and when I said near London he started telling me about where he used to live and hugging me lots which was more than a little bizarre.
On Friday I attempted to have a lazy morning but was woken up by Nick at 8:30; it was a nice wake up but still far too early :( After a morning/early afternoon of WoW we got the bus over to Nottingham for GameCity. Nottingham is easily the nicest looking city in England that I've visited and it was really nice walking round over the two days even if my feet did get sore. After two days of trying to contact Joel and missing his calls we finally tracked him down at the talk we were going to that day. The talk was quite good and we got to meet two of Joel's friends, Simon (Mellowpad) and Kehoe (alas, I have no idea how to spell his name). After the talk we went to a wonderfully gothic pub called The Pit and the Pendulum before going back to Derby for homemade burgers :D
We spent the whole day in Nottingham on Saturday and went to a Sega concert which was unbelievably good, Sonic's birthday tea party complete with Sonic(!), a game art gallery and a talk in an Indian restaurant about the games industry. Between the concert and the Indian restaurant, Joel pulled a disappearing act and turned his phone off so we spent the time until the talk wandering around the city and went in the best Waterstone's known to man! It had four floors! You could happily spend all day in there :D The Indian restaurant was really nice too. The food was so yummy and I ate so much and ended up feeling sleepy at the beginning of the talk. The talk itself was brilliant but we ended up having to leave early to get the last bus back to Derby.
If they have another of these events next year I'm totally going :D
Today was a much more relaxed day. I got to spend time in bed with Nick snuggling which is always wonderful :D Although he had a nosebleed and now I have a trail of blood on my sheets :/ but they need changing anyway so it's fine. We went over to PC World in the afternoon so that Nick could buy a headset and the WoW Atlas as well as buying me a comfortable chair for my computer and headset for me too :D After visiting the worst run KFC I've ever been in (we queued for half an hour and they had one till open. AT LUNCHTIME! >.<) we came back to my house and while Nick and Adam played computer games I cooked a roast dinner :O I don't think I poisoned anyone but I'll only know for sure tomorrow. Big big apologies if I have :(
I think I'm going to have an early night tonight as I'm really tired now and I have a lecture tomorrow...which I may not go to since I haven't read the book. Ooops.
