They're tracking us, run!
Heyy, about time I updated this thing-a-ma-bob :D
Regarding the subject; London has seemed REALLY small lately. I keep bumping into all sorts of people I know when not taking my usual daily route!
On my London Bridge-Waterloo East/Waterloo-Vauxhall variant it's been particularly creepy. On 2 occassions in the last month or so I've gone that way and bumped into 2 people I know on each leg! One at LB and another Waterloo. Last time, I was with a badminton friend I'd bumped into at LB and then we happened to jump through closing doors on a Vauxhall train exactly where Nic was. EXCATLY. I literally jumped on and at him in one swift unconscious, amazed move! Hahaha.
And yesterday, when grabbing a late Northern line train home I just happened to get on the a carriage that my parents happened to be in (I chose the carriage for being right by the exit stairs at Morden, they had gotten on randomly) as they came back from a musical. Very fun creeping up on my mum and nudging here with my knee till she looked up. See, if you've ever been on London tube in commuter hour, you keep your head down and don't look at anyone, even if they are standing annoyingly close and start nudging you with their knees! xD
Enough of my mindless prattle though (that'll be the day). Life is good, even if the weather and lack of sunlight is Le Shit.
I got upgraded in badminton, FINALLY. WAHEY! I'm now B+, watch out A! :D
Recent jaunts have included Oxford the other weekend, with Ross to check out his old digs and meet his school-day friends (including BFF guy) and of course my regular trek to The North which is always absolutely lovey.
Fairly busy in the run up to Christmas and I get paid tomorrow so need to plan my budget and stuff. Work has been between busy and awful-stress of late, and soon to be even busier, but as you can tell it's really quiet today and I'm bored and procrastinating. Woot!
Convention and cosplay;
Doing this Anime Central thing soon with Nia, so need to make sure Firklin is ok to wear still. And I'm doing Minami next year, but otherwise I'm a bit "meh" on the whole con thing now. Unless I'm cosplaying it's really boring and uneventful (thanks bountiful internet!), I see my good friends regardless and yeah it's all rather expensive really. So I think from now on it'll be Minami (social, boozey, yay!) and London Expos for me only. And maybe Paris cons :) they're awesome. Oh right, list of costumes that everyone's already done to death...
Minami '08:
Rabi-En-Rose for DC threesome (half done I think, somewhereee!)
Eternal Sonata duo with Nia (Waltz and Salsa I think?)
Wild Arms group - yet to find a character I like, Nia mentioned a flower girl..
Paris '08??:
My Little Pony??
Various Expos:
Dunno! BeatMania group?? I'd really like to do Lillith!
I think Minami, with fun/cute characters will revamp my cosplay-energy, but both my making-motivation/skills and actual cosplaying/posing confidence in myself is pretty low right now, so have to see... the Disney group at Expo was fun but I did absolutely hate my costume and how I looked, during the weekend and pictures/videos after, ahaha... ok, could of been funner :(
Wow, long entry. Let's do some work now!
