Twister Mayhem

A couple of days ago I had a wonderful catch up with the YABC gang.

It's insane that it had been three weeks since I had seen them. It felt like months. When you see a group of people every day for two weeks, spending so much time together, you really truly miss them. And so I was unbelievably excited to see them again.

I caught the train and met up with both polka and shming which was like old times. I think I missed these two the most, because they were the ones I spoke to on the train every single day, not just chatting during the shows, so it was wonderful to see them again and catch up, tell ridiculous stories that take far too long and joke around.
Once we were in the city, we waited at flinders, bumping into another YABC person who was on his way to work. What are the chances? Then other half and manfred turned up and we decided to spend some time in the city. We dragged the boys down to this little photo place where you can take photos and decorate them and have them as stickers. We really did NOT know how the whole thing worked but after much falling around and hastily posing we got some photos and decorated them before heading down to Degraves for some dinner. A plate of pasta and a cup of mini mnm's later we headed back to manfred's place where preston joined us for some hilarious rounds of Twister.
Why has this game been forgotten about people? It had it's golden days but since then it's been gathering dust in my games cupboard. Time to rediscover it, bloggers, because it was a ridiculous amount of fun. Let me tell you that both shming and preston are too good. They are indestructable in the realm of Twister. Never challange them to a game for you shall lose.

After we had our fill of Twister, and after our bodies could just simply take it no longer, we chilled with some 2AM pizza and eventually snuggled down for some spooning and sleep.

I was so cheerful after that catchup. It felt so good so see those people again, because you really bond with people during shows and then those bonds fall away quite quickly if you don't do anything to keep them there. And they really are wonderfull, talented (although showing off that talent in the early hours of the morning is not preferable, *cough cough* other half...) and incredibly fun people. I got to brush up on my pick up line skills with shming as well as get thrown around the loungeroom by a rogue mattress cover with manfred - see, you never know what's going to happen when you catch up with these guys!
