Steampunk Picnic!
Well today was pretty exciting. Jake and I went to the first annual steam punk picnic. It met up with the group at 11 o'clock this morning, got to know some of the people there ( there were like ten of us -- if that? ) and we walked to the ferry docs after a few fun photos. It was a lot of fun, they are very intelligent, polite and reasonably mature people. I'm finding lately I'm growing more and more out of that whole 'anime//cosplay' phase of my life, and I'm looking for something a little more mature. We were there in conjunction with the cosplay picnickers but to be honest most of them drove me nuts. As one gentlemen put it ' In my days our drug of choice was marijuana -- these kids seem to prefer sugar and energy drinks' it was literally like a typhoon of hyperactive tweens had been unleashed on the grassy knoll in centre island.
Jake got lots of attention, he was wearing a little hat I made him. He's totally pooped now, all those people petting him and taking his photo -- not to mention the slightly stressful ferry and train ride. I really clicked with this guy named Matt, he was from Australia, and like a total dish. He 'kind of sortof has a girlfriend' I found out -- not exactly surprised either. Like I said he was a real treat. But we got to spend a lot of one on one time, and I got lunch out of the deal. We went to Kensington and I ordered a veggieburger sans buns. lol
Me: Oh, no buns please.
Matt: WHAT1? O_o you eat your burger with _no_ buns.
Me: ... y-yeah? ._. I haffawheatallergy...
Matt: Oh... I feel like a dick. I'm sorry, did you want a salad or something instead?
Me: No. I enjoy playing mind games with people in the food industry... Hey! I said no buns!!! *tapping the glass*
Matt: rofl.
I also met this very nice man named Clint. He's a DJ and gave me two CD's full of steampunk music. Its pretty neat a lot of it is like ambiance music. The kind you can just chill out too.
I met an Amanda and an Nett, they were super friendly and like the first two people to come talk to me, they made me feel totally not awkward. ^-^
I was in such a hurry this morning to not miss my train I forgot my camera though! So I'll share photos of what other people took. There isn't many yet because well... not a lot of people have uploaded photos yet! ^-^
