Whatever, Let's Have A Goddamn Blog Thread, But Try And Keep It Reasonable
Thaes:
I graduated from high school yesterday. Yay me!
We had wondrous (and financially beneficial) festivities, followed by drunken shenanigans in the streets of Tampere. It was fantastically amazing.
jhocking:
Oh I forgot to mention the interesting walk to and from the barber yesterday. First off, the way there is down the street Wrigley Field is on, and just my luck a game let out right before I strolled past. The street was choked with people milling about, and a couple people even attempted to high-five me (nope sorry dude.) Also, it was hot. aargh
The walk back was much more pleasant, mostly because of the cute girl who needed help moving a dresser. I'm walking along and randomly someone down a side street calls out. There's a girl standing there with a small dresser, needing help carrying it down the block to her house. So I help her, along the way we chat, and afterward I go the rest of the way home in a good mood. I didn't even bother to ask her name, which was rude I suppose.
@redlion: That is quite a bit of money they are giving you. sweet
Lunchbox:
I have had a pretty fun weekend, guys!
Yesterday we had a little Flickr meetup at my cafe - another of our members (Gary) is leaving us to become a staff photographer at Daydream Island, so some of us met for coffee to say good luck. I am glad I went! Whilst drinking our coffees, Gary taught me how to the full manual settings on my camera, and how to use the flash properly to light my baking shots. We took pictures of coffee, and water glasses, and water pouring into glasses, and people's keyrings. Hooray!
After that I went to work, where we had a very nice little duo playing guitars in a sort of Ben Kwellerish way. It was a lovely night, the customers all seemed very happy! Also we have a new guy in the kitchen, he is a big bikie sort of fellow who seems to have taken a shine to me. It is nice to have someone to talk to! All of the other staff are a bit anti-nerd and into drinking themselves into oblivion, and it is hard to carry on a conversation when all I have to talk about are my photos and my Internet groups. I hope the new guy stays! He brightens up the night for me.
Today I went to a coffee festival just down the road from my place! They have it every year and it is awesome fun - it is a strip filled with indie coffee shops and handmade clothing stores, and everyone gets out and has street markets and DJs and crazy people in ridiculous clothing.
I met up with some people from Flickr again, and we had a great time! Whilst we were there I ran into my fabulously gay hairdresser, who grabbed my arm, ran his fingers through my hair and said "Wow, your hair looks great," then looked past me to where my boyfriend Matt was standing, perplexed. He honestly pushed me aside in his haste to shake hands with Matt. I tried not to laugh when Matt looked terribly embarrassed.
So anyway, I got lots of fun pictures! I also played with some settings on my camera that I hadn't fiddled with before, and got some, um, interesting results? I will post some up shortly.
EDIT: Here are some photos!

Goddamnit, I have just confirmed my end-of-term-nocturnalism theory. By the end of every term I have fully transferred to nocturnal sleep patterns. Held off slightly longer this time, but it is 7:11 am, and I am only now considering sleep.

Oh fuck I can't stop myself. . (I actually kind of got on the forum thinking it'd be good if someone made the blog thread because I have something to say and that'd be a good place to put it so...)
Dear people in America:
How the fuck aren't every single one of you way fatter? I mean let's not get into jokey "hurr hurr all Americans are fat and lazy and stupid" jokes, I'm really being serious.
I went to a market this afternoon and while we were there me and my girlfriend stopped off in a store that imports American and English chocolate/candy/junk food. Holy crap just the sheer depth of different varieties of all of the horrible foods is truly amazing. I honestly think I'd be 300lbs if I lived in America. As it stands I bought a big Hershey's bar, a bunch of Pop Tarts, some Jolly Ranchers and some other assorted stuff, and that's not even half of what I could've gotten but made myself put back on the shelf (I'm totally stocking up on Reese's Cups next time). I had a pretty unhealthy day.
Actually, now I think about, I've been pretty bad for impulse control in general the past couple of weeks. I have spent an awful lot of money and I have no idea how much is in my account. I hope I don't get a rude shock when I go to fill my car up with fuel in the next few days and my card is rejected...
