Well, Dark Zone was a lot of fun, I must say. In a "my thighs are now killing me" sense, but still...

Lots of fun was had. There were a few people I had been expecting to come who hadn't (where were you guys?), but still there were, what, 20 odd people there?

Memorable moments include: Me getting God Mode, and then immedately falling down the stairs. Nothing more than some bruises, fortunately though.

Also, I dscovered that Chucks are really quite advantageous when one wants to sneak around silently. Also, there's this nice little spot on the ramp up to the bridge near Yellow Base in which I can lie down, and no-one on the other side of the bridge can hit my pack, whereas I can just watch and shoot them. And no-one coming up to the ramp to Yellow Base can see you either.

Anyways, after those seven hours of exhaustingness, I ended up with a couple of people heading to the Camberwell Market, in order to buy some Second-Hand Goths (don't ask...). Which was quite good, actually - it's one of the better second-hand markets I've come across. After the others left, I wandered around on my own for a bit, and bought a few things - some nice, (and very cheap) clothes, some hand-made Christmas cards, a small but genuine Louis Vuitton bad (only ten dollars!), oh and this most wonderful thing:

Yes, it's a plushy Death.

However, since I hadn't planned on visiting the market after Dark Zone, I was quite unprepared. And thus managed to get rather impressively sunburnt. Ow.

Then, back home and off for a nice long sleep - obviously, seeing as it is now Monday.

Some amusing quotes from the night:

aurellia: "My dice did okay, they made me a girl.

bellmeister: "But why would you want a naked leprechaun?"

aurellia: (To lena_supercat) "Just remember, flesh heals, points are forever.

Oh, and an extra special present, since I was uploading pictures:

I did ballet for eleven years, theoretically I should be gracefully. And yet I tend to run into or fall over things with an alarming frequency.

"where were you guys?"

We were at various places (such as housewarmings) annoyed that the only snippet of information we'd received regarding Darkzone in the last 2 months was a phone call from

lena_supercat at midnight of the night in question asking why we weren't at an event we vaguely recall someone saying might happen at some point, a long time ago.

Maybe someone should show the people at II LJ. They clearly have forgotten it exists.

Didn't you get the emails? I had several email reminders, which had all the info in them.

It may have been only 20-odd days ago, but that's still much too long ago for me to remember it.

Nope.

There's been a lot of glitches with the mailing list lately. I'd thought I'd gotten rid of all the bugs, but yours weren't on the hopefully-functional mailing list. It has been added now though.

Sorry about that.

Maybe Lena passed it on, but I chose to work instead (9:30-6:30). I was even worried that there'd be lots of people going and if I went I'd feel like I was taking the place of a new member! Work kinda sucked and I think I'd have enjoyed Darkzone a bit more, though at least I should have a few more $.
