romyraSaturday February 2nd 2008 was wickedliz's birthday so laurapetri and I visited....As always when we get together there is laughter, misuse of teh internet and oogling of pretty Japanese people. We spent the day in various states of discussion, eating, discussion, squeeing, discussion, Gackt! Stalking/Watching, discussion, anime reviewing, discussion and the like.
I love it when we aren't rushed and have lots of time to sit around and do what we love. We gave her a chinese screen and display chopsticks respectively and hopefully she will post pics of these so we can show them off...**BIG HINT**
We had to leave earlyish though as we both had other commitments in the night.laurapetri and I both made time for DVD hunts and icecream though which made us later than ever but we only ever see each other like this on occasion so it was okay.
I had to rush home to get some sleep in for a fete I was going to called INSOMIA. So named since it begins at midnight and continues on into the next day ending at noon. Alas I was so wired upon my return home that I couldn't sleep and after tossing and turning for 2 hrs I gave up and went online. My brother came by to pick me up after midnight since you never go for the start of these things and we spent 2 and a half hours in traffic. We finally arrived at the venue MOBS2 just before 3 am and boy oh boy talk about the sea of humanity. There were thousands of people there....a heavyish police presence as well and for once the eye candy was everywhere. I had a great time, my feet were killing me though since you have to stand up for the entire thing. The best part of the event was the appearance of one of our most beloved performers Machel Monatno who came on stage at dawn, it was very cool as he came on just as the sun was rising and that hyped up the crowd to an almost transcendental state. He performed for close to 2 hrs and there was much dancing, chipping, moving, gyrating and screaming. It was great fun. We left before the end of the thing though 'cause we wanted to beat the traffic to get out and really after Machel, there was no one who I thought could compare.
The drive home was very quick and mostly smooth with a single exception as my brother can be a bit of an unhearing ass whenever I try to tell him that he drives too fast. I got home in one piece though, had doubles fro breakfast and after dropping me home he proceeded down south to his home. I went straight to bed and woke up after 4 pm.
I caught a cold though as in the wee hours of the morning they decided to spray the crowd down with ice cold water and I got soaked damnit. Right now I have a sore throat and am spitting up phelgm. I hope that with the application of lots of over the counter drugs that I will feel better but only time will tell. To make matters worse my cycle made an appearance this morning at 3 am so yeah I'm sick, cranky , bloated and miserable.
What a way to end an other wise great weekend.
