Weekend Report!

Right!

Thanks everyone who made it to my Games day on Saturday, I had a blast! I hope everyone else did too! It ended up being reasonably small, which was cool because there was just a large enough group of people that we could play all the big games, without there being so many as to split up groups. Worked rather well, all up. Thanks for hikaizer, nervous_neuron, not_in_denial, tacomonkey, surreal_angela, cheshire_bitten, iosef, virtual_olav, PFH, Bec, and Spike for coming down at various points to play!

The Sunday was mostly me working on packing. You see, not_in_denial and a few of his friends were heading down to Wilson's Promontory for a week of camping down there. So, I decided to head down for a day or so, since other things needed to be focused on as well. The Sunday started a little late, thus by the time we got to the Prom, everything was quite dark (getting tents set up in the dark was quite interesting, I can tell you!) But after setting up we talked right into the night, which was all pretty awesome. Apparently, after we both went to bed a wombat broke into our tent and tried to grab some of our supplies, but impressively neither of us noticed a thing. I suspect the both of us could probably sleep through a holocaust!

Monday, of course, I was able to better appreciate the beautiful place I was around. I'm not generally much of a camping boy, but man the place sure is beautiful out there. Me and not_in_denial went for a walk down Tidal River to Oberon Bay, which was all quite spectacular. I got to see some kookaburras (as they were swooping down on me, don't get me wrong, but I've never actually seen one in real life...), as well as some really beautiful crimson rosellas. My god, those birds were absolutely beautiful, I think I fell in love with them. I also got to see some possums, but of course I've seen more than a few of them, so that wasn't so spectacular.

I had intended to Vline it back to Melbourne on the Monday, but that was quite horribly nixed when I discovered that the one bus out of the area (which left not from the Prom, but from the closest towns), left before 8am. So, I was forced to spend another night with my boyfriend. Big shame!

Today, of course, ended up a little better, as I hitched a lift back to Melbourne with a couple of not_in_denial's friends who had to leave early. So, obviously, I'm back now in the arms of civilisation. Today I've mostly been unwinding, trying to maintain the feeling of relaxation I got at the Prom before I start work again tomorrow, and work completely obliterates any notion of relaxation from my mind.

You know, I so wish I had a digital camera, so I could record some of these moments...

Awesome.

Is it at all wrong to be chuffed when the creator of a game lets you name a location in the game after you? Even if it is named after your pseudonym in the game?
