It's pretty good if you know the right people and have the right attitude but that goes for everywhere.Elle-Jai said:
For example, I've had mates visit from interstate and ***** about how boring Adelaide was but when they were here but all they wanted to do was sit around and pull cones all day. Of course, when I visited them that's all they wanted to do as well so for those visits I got to do fuck all of interest until I got bored so shitless I'd leave their place and go exploring by myself (which generally involved randomly going to pubs and talking with people).
The only real adjustment people need when coming to Adelaide is water taps labelled 'chewy' and 'crunchy'. Like any true local, I don't drink anything I can see through.
Tempting, but then, I rarely subject myself to public humiliation when I don't have to. And having somehow managed to let myself get to the size of Elephant... Elephants are cute, but if I have to have one more talk that goes "You're so beautiful, and you'd be even more beautiful once you lose weight" I will SCREAM.BlueberryFalacy said:
Ergo, the washing of hair seems like the more logical solution of what to do 11 days after my 23rd.
Wait, people actually say that to you with outside voice and everything... and you let them live? I recommend a hearty round of facestabbings as a warning.Elle-Jai said:
It's even better to tell people you're washing your hair when you have a shaved head. They almost always ask "what hair?" which is the openning for "My arse hair. It needs a trim and styling, too, because no matter what I try it always has a centre part."
You guys are Australian? I really do wonder how many Aussies are on here.
Honestly I'd love to go, but I'm a Sydney sider - I already met my Melbourne quota seeing Richard Dawkins and A.C Grayling. If you guys are ever by Sydney, just let me know. I do love Melbourne, not a fan of the weather there though. The one thing in common with the entire east coast is that they love to make fun of Tasmania.

Kick his sister in the jaw
Outside voice, inside voice, people who love me, random strangers... It's especially good when random strangers just take one look, say at the top of their voice "FAT C***" on a Saturday night in the city. 'Sif I'm not aware *eyeroll*RhomCo said:
Meanwhile... ROFLMAO!! Since my 23rd is on the 1st, I'm getting it cut and coloured all nice shiny red with black underneath before then. So it should still be all prettified, and I'll probably just sit around admiring myself. /sarcasm
Melbourne's a bit far to me. I'll probally go to the next sydney one, but I hope it goes well regardless.
I dunno about creditting a violin with a personality... it's a bit too close to creditting midgets with souls for my comfort.Elle-Jai said:
You can always come to <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/Escapism-UK>Escapism UK 2010. I'm sure your parents wouldn't mind you taking a trip to london to meet a bunch of people you met online. Just tell them we promised you sweets and a trip to the arcade. They'll HAVE to let you go. You can bring Calumon too.Jack and Calumon said:
I'm amazed how many of these get-togethers are going on. What a wonderful community we have.
Escapism UK FTW!
We have t-shirts and Badges.
Ah... I remember last year's Escapism 09 like it was 18 hours ago (Usually any more hours and my memory get's REALLY fuzzy)
In that day I managed to:
1. Abandon my cousin at Ashfield train station because some guy said "You going to Townhall" and I am like "Um,,, yes?" and took me on an express train.
2. Beat up an unaffiliated little kid for spawn camping in a game of Lazer Tag...
3. Preform a rage gutterball in bowling, by throwing my ball down the isle while it was another Escapian's turn.
And last but not least (Well, your milage may vary)
4. Steal a Victorian Escapian's News Paper.
In retrospect I came off as a bit of a jerk.

So I just found out that I'll be in Melbourne from the 4th to about the 8th of July.
I totally want to meet people down there. Var and I will be catching up on at least one of the days. I don't know, a second Escapism maybe? I mean, can you people possibly imagine the sheer amount of awesome that would occur with Var and I in the same place?
This shit needs to happen.
