Today... is.. a most interesting day, to say the least.I had to brave hell and high water (my 4th time saying this, it was that bad.) to get to CO. I'm telling y'all, bring a damn umbrella whenever you go out, for you never know when good ole' weather is gonna screw around with you.
So begins my harrowing journey. Walked out of the house and it was drizzling. Well, great. Hey, it was cooling, can't complain.
Then the drizzle turned into a light shower. Fine, I'll quicken my pace. Then my bosom weather buddy decided "Hey, why not go all the way and piss everyone off?"
Bam. Instant down pour.
Okay, no umbrella, I'm no where near home. One way out. I sprinted towards the bus stop. (Oi it's not easy when you don't play any damn sport. Not even once a week.)
Rain is wet.
Gosh. By the time I arrived at my sanctuary, I was thoroughly soaked. Free bath. IT'S A GIFT FROM YE GODS! Plopped my bag down onto the ground, because carrying a wet bag with a soaked back is NOT comfortable. Bad move.
The precise area I left my bag was semi-flooded moments after I set my damn Timberland bag down. YAYYY! My WoW cards got damp. I love you rain!
5 minutes later, it stopped. WHOOPPEEEEE! I get to go to CO late AND not get ANYONE believe my story. Thank you!! The bus ride was hella crappy. I mean, I had to lay back because I was feeling giddy. That meant my back would stay damp before becoming warm AND damp. VS PE shirts react strangely to moisture.. you seem to smell twice as bad.
Here's the killer. Wait for it...
I reached the CO room aaaaaaaaaand my section was dismissed because we had no part in the songs that would be practiced. Cool! <3.
On a less sarcastic and bitter note, anything after that was pretty good.
Gathered Varian, BAGERO and pigeon together and headed to KFC. That new Chicken Supreme meal looks good on the poster. 1 Piece chicken, a burger, a drink and popcorn chicken. Well, it's enlarged! They stuff you get is miniscule. Good one KFC, you almost got me!
Met up with MC then went to DK. Hah. Closing down sale. (I was informed by Darren.) I knew those suckers couldn't make it. After Rid's opened, they were goners. Rid's shop was a "by players for players" type of shop. It was great. Players would congregate, barter trade, sell/buy. He himself offered a pretty good selection on his album.
Rid is in general a cheerful and nice person. Another boon. The DK uncle and aunty on the other hand, in my opinion, are cold, calculative and driven only by profit. Yes, the world is harsh, but at the very least, hide behind a facade to appeal to customers.
Did they? Nawww. When Rid's opened, we patronised him more. DK got sour and tore up MC's redemption cards because "the offer was over". We weren't allowed to choose between boosters, and rumors have it that they removed all packs which contained "hallow" cards (more value).
So we stopped buying from them completely, concluding they'd fold sooner or later. They dug their own grave. They sold bags, then clothes and just about every thing. Sorry, you don't make the cut. It's not the stuff you sell, it's you.
Went to Rid's and bought some WoW boosters. Got nothing of value. lol @ BAGERO and his jinxy touch.
I received some presents, then it hit me rather hard. You don't really have to buy a present. It can be anything. It can have no monetary value, yet be something the receiver would not part with for anything. It's the thought that counts. I knew it all along, it just hit me suddenly. A rude awakening, if I may.
MC's house for dinner. MC style. Frozen food can taste good too! =D
