MCM Expo May 2013

Woo, the MCM expo was pretty cool, I made a point of making sure I was attending things I wanted to attend and not do what I did last time which was just wander around aimlessly I mean it's fun to wander aimlessly at these sort of events as there is always wacky stuff going on and that.

So the solution to that was to get a timetable and actually know what events were going to happen and plan the day around events I wanted to go to. Surprising for someone that adores video games I actually didn't play that many games there. It wasn't so much to do with the lack of decent games or anything like that as I still managed to play the soon to be released Deadpool game but it was then when I playing it, I was like...yeah I can't be bothered with this.

Dark Rainclouds Gather

So now I’m on holiday, woo. I’d be a little bit more excited but it’s just doesn’t feel right at least not right now. I’ve got such much stuff to do during this holiday, so many things to sort out and I’m also going to the MCM Expo this weekend so that’s going to be exciting times, I’m still a little bit unsure who I’m going with so that kind of sucks because I’m not sure who’s going, what day they’re going so it might be a case that I’ll be attending the majority of it or at least one day by myself again but it’ll still be fun regardless.

Today I’m not really in the greatest of moods simply because it’s the funeral of a close neighbour and a close friend of the family and yeah it was kind of depressing seeing my mum and sister get ready to go to the funeral because it’s going to be a sad event and I just know that as I sit here recording this they’ll come back in tears they’ll be crying and I’ll just won’t know what to say, what to do or anything like that.

How did I go this long without attending one of these?

This weekend I attended my first ever expo, the London MCM expo and it was quite an event.

For me it was never really about the guests or presentations that was going on and that as I already know how I feel about "celebrities" and there wasn't reeeally any presentations that I was interested in other than the Tekken Tag Tournament 2 one which I attended today. No no, it was always going to be about the occasion and the atmosphere there which did not disappoint me.

People came dressed as all sorts of characters at it was quite fun at trying to recognise all the different characters that showed up and seeing all the good cosplay (and the bad ones as well) that people did.

Wax + Legs = Pain

Well, that's another memo for myself, "what's that" I hear you ask?

Leg waxing. Yeah. Not doing that again, I mean yes I do love you and all Emily but never again. I think should I ever want to get rid of the hairs on my legs I'll stick to shaving it off....not implying that I do in the first place but I reckon I would prefer that.

So anyway seeing as it's Friday, Friday and how I gotta get down on Fr*shot*

Yeah seeing as it's Friday, my mind turns to the weekend and my football matches, that's right, matches not match, I have two football matches one on Saturday and the other on Sunday.

Do I expect to play both? No, not really, I'm still far from match fitness I believe, I think I may be a sub in the first match against Bromley maybe getting a ten minute run out I guess and then start the Oxford match on Sunday, playing the majority of that match but alas we shall see.

Last week I was very surprised to play as long as I did versus St Johns but I'm glad I did as it just gets me back in the groove of things, disappointed that I did not score two goals as I only had two opportunities in the game, the first being me being smart and anticipating the defender failing the head the ball away while I controlled it neatly with my left foot before chipping the goalkeeper with my right, unfortunately a defender was on hand to clear the ball off the line...plus it was offside (it wasn't) according to the linesman.

My second opportunity came in similar circumstances to the first, not offside this time but probably should have held a lot more composure to shoot earlier before a defender got the chance to block it but ah well.

So all in all I feel good I got to play that long and hope to be back not only completing full ninety minute games but contributing majorly in some way.

Still has that annoyingly loud hum though

So now I have my Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii back from Lee I can play things on them really during the evenings and nights I’m not doing anything. YAY!

The only downside of it all is no internet connection which means can’t really go only with most of these games but meh that’s alright to be honest I can deal with that. Got sooo many good games I need to catch up with and all that.

My weekend also consisted of updating my CV and job hunting which I’m hoping maybe some employers will actually get back to me but ya know.

So I got to play all sorts of games like Left 4 Dead 2 and that’s still and fun and exciting as ever so I think I’ll be sticking with that. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the game that everyone raves about about that…yeah, that’s sort of put me off that as did the fact that it’s a serious first person shooting game and I find them to be quite dreary so I don’t think I will have much love for that but I’ll try and complete it but it really isn’t my sort of game. I also learned that perhaps I need to get some more games for the Wii as Mario Kart and Super Smash Brothers Brawl isn’t really cutting it anymore, Sonic Colours looks interesting though so I might consider that

Finally there was Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 which yeah…no, that’s awful and is going back. I don’t have much patience for that anymore and I’ll see if I can get something else for that. Just awful.

But what lies in wait for today though?

Well today should involve me going various places and hoping signing on for a computer course and that which no doubt will help my qualifications a bit, more job hunting and all that jazz.
