Reason i havent been on for quite a while was due to no interest in LJ and my life wasnt that interesting if depressing to read hencewhy I sort of stopped for a while. I was also busy in other things and didnt really have time to get a journal up to date.......hence lack of action.
Anyway first thing you may notice is the new profile piccie, that was taken on holiday in greece about 3 months ago........more about that later.
So any updates on the last major post some 4/5 months ago??
Beatles Convention (Aug 22-26)
Overall it was an enjoyable if expensive four days with a few friends. Saw many bands in Liverpool and also went to the Cavern Club which was very dark and very humid but had fun anyway. Met my friends who did turn up in the end but sadly they met some other friends beforehand which meant I spent at least one full day by myself which wasnt ideal for me. Due too this and the event being expensive with me bored a few times (you get to a point when you dont want to hear another beatles song) I will probably not go next year and save my money (about £300) for something else...........but still glad that I went.
Greece Holiday (Zante - Sept 14-28)
Overall had a brilliant trip to Greece for 2 weeks, my first trip away for 4 years. Got tanned went to some lovely places including Olympia (where the olympics was born) and met some nice people. Did feel let down by these friends and it was clear I wasnt going to keep in touch with them after the holiday, im not fussed really they just didnt get on with me....they were hard drinkers I wasnt. I wanted to talk with everyone they would not be bothered to. I was seriously let down at one stage which made me very upset and fuming.....but despite this will go again next year and care more about myself....will get tanned...go on trips and have a nice swim in the warm sea. Didnt meet anyone nice sadly.....oh well..........i still enjoyed the trip though!
Birthday Bash (Nov 15th)
As I could not have a birthday party on my actual birthday (week before), I arranged a birthday party (80s/sci fi themed) which to some degree went very well indeed. Almost all 30 people that attended were in costume (I was in my BG uniform) and seemed to have a good time, I was miffed at one stage when nearly all shouted they wanted a dance....in the middle of my quiz.....I spent ages sorting this out and to get this feedback made me (quietly) angry....so I had to walk out for a few mins to get some fresh air and quieten down a bit. It worked thankfully as I came back and told people that the quiz was still going on. Some people made a fuss about some questions as well, for beep sake its only a quiz and do I care if this person came from this land not the other land etc etc. Anyway peeps had their wish and danced at the end....well only a few hardcore and most of those were not the people that wanted to dance! Anyway got some nice pressies and chatted to many people......it was a success I think?
Consequences 2008 (Nov 20- 24)
November was a busy month for me but its nice to be busy isnt it??? December will be quieter anyway.
Anyway attended my normal freeform convention at Naish Holiday park and took part in 7 games over a 3 day period. The games I felt this year were not as good as last year but it was great meeting everyone again (and made some new friends). I can remember at one stage chatting at an after game party to two former game wives.....it was very funny. This year I was a nasty spy, a best man, a mage (yuk), a director and a french mayor to name a few! Will go again next year most def.
Tagging
Will probably try and start this again early next year as I havent been for nearly a year now.....still not that keen but will give it a try one final try at least. May start again in March 09
Davy Jones Locker
Is going to be the new freeform game that I be running for LOTNA in March 2009, its based on Pirates and should be loads of fun to run. Will start looking at the game files very soon and will take about a month to set up and will involve about 11 players. Should be loads of laughs anyway. Always like to see people happy from what Ive done......even if it is knackering.
Future Holidays
Was hoping to goto Oz in March 09 to see my sister but due to work commitments this is now off.....may go in 2010. Parents will still be going though but its not going to be cheap for them. I will be home sitting the fish for them lol Im not too bothered about it to be honest with you. Need to save for Greece 09.....dunno where i be going though yet.
General This and That
Generally things are going okay for me at the moment, just getting on with life got no choice really. Still playing tribal wars and now got guitar hero 3 on my xbox (with guitar) which is great fun. Both parents and sister are fine as well. Going to LOTNA more frequently now as did miss the regular meetings.....will still miss the odd few as cant afford to goto every meet.
Anyway thats it for now....enough typing has been done lol
