“I Don’t Eat My Necklace, I Just Suck on It”: When Bloggers Meet

Today, I met two very cool girls. Their names were (and still are) Amanda and Nadine. I like to think that fun was had by all.

We met at noon, me with the advantage of actually knowing what the people I was meeting looked like (but a bit of texting so I could find them still didn’t go astray). We went for lunch (dumplings and noodles) in Chinatown, where blogging and life in general were discussed, and basic “getting to know you, getting to know all about you”-type questions were asked. It was recently discovered that Amanda and I attended the same high school, which was also discussed over lunch. In all likelihood, we walked past each other in corridors, but were in different year levels and thus paid no attention to each other.

Next stop was ACMI, where we looked at the Screen Worlds exhibit. Finally, we quickly dropped by Amanda’s office (there’s carpet in the elevator, which I feel is completely worthy of note), before catching trains home (Nadine and I caught the same train).

Metcards II

Back in November, I posted about Metcards (you’ll probably want to read that for background knowledge), which are tickets for public transport in Melbourne. This is part two of that post. ‘Tis a bit delayed, because I somehow deleted all my scans and was not very motivated to continue. Also, WordPress is a total pain when it comes to this. But anyway, let the picspam begin!
