FF:NSW Personal news thread - for news that is post-worthy but not thread-worthy

Actually, I volunteered myself for the role so I could change the meetup time, day and location as it didn't suit me and since no meetup's were occuring I assumed those things must be an issue for other people too

And why are you doing the essay the night before? Tsk tsk

 

lord help us all

 

Excellent.
After all of those times being scolded for leaving assignments to the last minute, I can finally return the favour.

In other news, due to a garden hose carefully hidden in long grass next to my rocky driveway, I have now split open the palm of my hand, YAY!

 

Diva, the internet meet-up representative gig sounds oh so nerdy. Hey wait a sec...

Poor Kieca, hope you're all fixed soon. If any of my circuits or gears will help I'll gladly donate them. And that's just an expression. A robot expression.

My news is that I got outbidded on eBay last night by some sniper. I wasn't home so I didn't even get a chance to strike back.

 

Excellent.
*plans to sell Ki's gears and circuits on eBay*

 

I just back from the grandest time in Canberra, my first ever road trip! We even had the soundtrack for Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle, good times!

We drove 650kms. We got lost in Canberra. We had fun with rad Canberrians! We're SO going back when I return from London!

And I got my visa for London processed today

 

Well today I had my last tutoring ever, w00t! Now I have a sudden urge to buy Donkey Konga on the GC.

I like the sound of a bongo controller, and multiplayer would be rad (except for $49 for every extra bongo controller). Looks a fun game!

 

I'm getting a cold.

In other news, our library is getting a new catalogue system this week.

SPYDUS is coming.....


BTW congrats Lando!

 

Donkey Konga sounds very strange!

Don't get sick, Enna! Don't!

My news - I went paintballing today and have some FANTASTIC welts!

And only one actually hurts, and it was the only one I remember getting in combat, the rest were in free for all! It's the size of my palm and very swollen, I'm very impressed.

 

Wow Paintball, sweet!

Does it hurt much, or does the adrenaline take away most of the pain Which paintball centre did you go to?

 

Action Paintball at Rouse Hill.

It hurts at the time, but unless I poke them, the welts don't hurt. It depends on the range, but if you are hit, it can absolutely cane! I felt crippled when I got shot in the legs, I didn't think I could move, until I saw Ben pull the trigger again!

 

Paintball is awesome. I love trading war stories and showing off welts. I went to Action Paintball about 4 years ago and that was a great course. I also went to Ultimate Skirmish in Helensburg last year and that had some really fun fields. If it wasn't so expensive I'd go more often.

 

Theres a Paintball in ROUSE HILL

Wow thats like 15 minute drive from my area! Sweet, with an 18th coming up, this is looking promising!

Should have a Fanforce meet there, and reinact Battle of Endor

 

Only if I can use the darkside to deflect the paintballs...

 

Did you know...

"The 1978 Star Wars figures of Luke Skywalker and Han Solo resembled the bodies of actors Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford quite closely. By 1997, they had acquired the physiques of bodybuilders, and over the same period, Princess Leia's breast size tripled."

 

Its dam true, I look at my Luke Skywalker (POTF2) and compare it to a vinatge one, they really beefed up the star wars characters. The muscles were bigger than Lukes head, but common, the muscles look cooler

 

yeah, but did you look at Leia's breast size?

 

i went and took a look, i couldnt stop

i think im addicted

 

Ive seen a 12" Slave Leia that had a costume malfunction... the gold bra thing was almost around her neck, this was Mint in Box as well!

 

unleashed padme first edition.

as opposed to the re-released, family friendly version.

there you go, boys.

enjoy.

 

There was a re release of Unleashed Padme. The original was a bundle of laughs, but it accuratly recreated the scene

 

The uh.. "assets" on that figure were much bigger than Natalie's.

And no, I don't mean in scale either...

 

I didn't think this personal new thread would get THAT personal...

Job interview on Friday morning. Wish me luck.

 

I thought robots didn't believe in luck...

 

It's just an expression. A robot expression.
