So today I was out at my Streetpass meet.

Since most of you are new, the meets are in Birmingham and it’s basically for Nintendo games. It started up with a 3ds focus, but now it’s moved onto switch. Usually each meet is focussed on one new game, but people usually play other games too.

So, beforehand was a bit of a disaster. Although mum finally found my 1 2 switch game which had been missing for awhile, the Zelda game case with the rest of my games was missing. Ugh. I improvised with an iPad case.

On the trip I read some of the previews in the Xbox magazine and I wrote a bit. I’m currently working between three fics so they’ll be done soon.

Gerard/Ray
Jet/Kobra/Party

I went a little around Birmingham, although not much due to money. I did get a cheap Baze figure from TK Maxx, I wasn’t sure if I had him but I thought it best to get him since I was going near one next week. Thankfully I just checked and I haven’t got him (I do have Chirrut, so I’m happy they’ll be together).

I went to the meet and worried because no one else was there, but the guy that runs it was just a little late. The game was the new Mario one, which I haven’t got (and most people didn’t seem to have) I ended up playing Smash a fair bit. And then, of course, the cute boy shows up.

See, there is a cute boy that comes to the meets. He’s cute Matthew, he loves Zelda, he cosplays (with a Link outfit!) and he plays the ocarina. To quote night vale I fell in love instantly. I didn’t expect him to be there since he wasn’t marked as coming or interested. Unfortunately we didn’t get to talk much since he sat on the other table.

I did talk to Victoria, she’s one of the regulars and she’s super nice. We ended up talking a lot and then I ended up saying I liked someone then, so off course she wanted to know. So, yeah, now she knows I like Matthew. I can tell she’s gonna poke me into talking to him more. But I meant talking to him isn’t necessarily the problem, it’s that I dunno if he’s gay or not. I’ve tried to subtly find out but have got no where. I suspect she’ll find out for me.

I didn’t win anything from the meet. I failed at the challenge, didn’t win the raffle and the quiz was it’s usual toughness.

After that I went to McDonald’s, I got some of the cheese melt things (which, ngh) and got two of the happy meal Pokemon toys because Yes, I am a child. Sadly Greggs was out of the vegan sausage rolls so I didn’t get to try one.

I did stop off at Smiths and got the new Sci-fi Now for the Umbrella Academy article, which I read during the trip back. I am so hyped for it. And there was a few new promo shots, yay! I tried to write more, but couldn’t focus so I didn’t do much.

Now I’m home and aim just gonna snuggle up, have noms and write some.

Other things, I need to get a new lead between the router and digibox on Monday since it’s necessary to watch Disney Xd ugh. Dave, the channel, continues to be awesome cause they used Na Na Na in an ad, which I noticed last night.

Birmingham is not somewhere I see mentioned very often!

Same here. I'm in Shropshire so I'm forever popping over to either Birmingham or Wolverhampton for gigs and conventions :)

I love going to sci-fi cons, I've met him a couple times now and I grin like a huge dork every time I think about it :D

Ahh, it's always so lovely when there's a cute!human that's a possibility at meetups - I'm glad he was there even if only to admire from afar :).

Sounds like a dead nice day, sausage roll issues not withstanding - I suspect they might roll them out a bit more given how sold out they've been.

These Nintendo meetings sound GREAT! Do you know if there are any in Germany as well or is this just a local UK thing?

Hmm that just seems to be a general Nintendo fan connecting site BUT I'll check it out thoroughly later, maybe they have links to meetings like the one you have! Thank you!

Those meets sound great. I don't game but totally get the appeal of meeting with people who share a common interest. And having someone there to admire is always a bonus.

I noticed that Dave ad, too. Way to go, Dave!
