A night to remember...

(Warning, this post was written while very sleep deprived, and is completely unedited. There, now you may proceed with all due caution.)

It all started at the beginning of last week. Well, before that actually. But the awesome started last night. All the crazy awesome extravaganza I could ever wish for...

VGHS season 2 premiere. Awesome.

But first there was a work shift, then marshal arts—karate, german longsword, and a bit of parkour wall spin practice just for fun. We got out after ten, picked up the Bishop, and picked up a third brother for good measure. So our party was four.

But one does not simply gather people for a party. We armed ourselves with energy drinks and provisions. And, I must admit, some small amount of alcohal. Don't worry, we drank responsibly, and none of us got drunk.)

The party started sometime after eleven? I'm not really sure—it doesn't really matter. Much beverage was consumed (cider, mostly monster, red bull, jack, jager, water...) sausages were put in the oven to roast, chips were poured into a bowl, and we sat down to re-watch the first season of VGHS. And it was just as good as I remembered it from my last re-watch two days ago. Yes, a bit campy, but that's part of the fun.

It ended sometime around 1:30am, I think. After which we went looking for season two first ep. But it wasn't out yet, despite promises that it would come on the 25th.

(Yes, I know my sentence structure is haphazard. Lazy. It's gonna get worse. But give me I break, I've been up for almost 24 hours)

Delays. Hardrive problems. Noooooo!!! So ensued shenanigans with Halo split-screen. Much fun. Much frustration. That sorta died off, though, so we moved on to other things. Like stalking Freddie Wong's twitter, the Rocket Jump site, and finally youtube where the video was processing. For ages. I was there from about the time there were six hundred likes (yes, before the video had finished processing. I think we got up to around 3k? don't really remember clearly.) I was part of the comment frenzy, reaching something like 5k comments? Before the upload. (New top comments every ten seconds or so. About a comment every second—atleast.)And I was there watching Jimmy Wong's live feed. Monster and jager were my fuel, working with red bull and anticipation.

It was awesome. Most fun I've had in ages.

Finally, around 6am, the episode launched. Hurrah! It was just as good as I thought it would be. Better, even. (Hat is off to any and all involved.)

By that time, we'd lost one of our number to sleep, and the other had to get ready for work. (Speaking of which, I go into work at 11:30am. Nope, won't be sleeping till after I get out at 8. That's 36h. Not my record, but close. (I know, I'm a lightweight when it comes to sleep dep)) :)

But two remained, and it was still much fun. And it's still much fun now, living in the calm before I have to go to work. I'm the only one here who's awake now, but everything's a-okay. I'm blessed. Thank you God. And thank you to everyone involved in the show and the comment frenzy. It was one wile-of-a-time.

See ya, space cowboy (or cowgirl, as the case may be.) Have fun out there, with lots of sunshine and cool. Yeah. Stuff.... I'm a bit lost right now, just rambling... I should probably end this post about now. Yep.

Go mbeannaĆ­ Dia duit, (I hope I spelt that right...)
