Easter Holiday

Wooo! It's that time of the year again!
Lovely lovely Easter! I love the Easter.
Normally we're on Okse, chillin', reading Donald Duck and just gorging in sweets... Such lovely sweets they are...
But no. This year we couldn't because the boat wasn't on water and the fjord was icy. Which sucked major balls. So disappointed.Anyway, before I left Swansea for good old Norway, I had Frank and Carina over.
But before I get to that... I may have bought an iPad. And mini dice. Because the natural thing, when you buy an iPad is to buy mini dice along with it.
Pimp yo pad.
Or dice bag, rather.

SIZE REFERENCE!

I needed to put in a picture of my shinypad <3 People probably know what an iPad look like, though...
BUT HERE IT IS!
I needed to sort of prove it.
Because I'm clearly a very materialistic person. And proud.
Mother fuckers.

It was glorious.

Regardless, Carina and Frank. In Swansea. That was glorious too.
Not much to do in Swansea, though. So we just faffed around doing not much, but still a few things here and there. And a bit of roleplaying too! We explored an abandoned house, went to the waterfront museum, didn't get to go to either Mumbles or the beach as the weather decided to go all Dick on us, but... Was nice!
Showed them all the important shops (read: game + comic shop) and they seemed pretty content with that. Which is good.

 We obediently signed the guestbook at the museum too...

 ...Being serious as ever! :D

We went and explored a house, too, on our way to roleplaying. It was fun. It had tickled my curiosity for so long... Well long and long, only discovered it like 2 weeks ago.. But still... LOOK! It looks super-haunted!



Carina is so funny. Inappropriate, but hilarious.

 "Haunted? Here? Nooo. Nono, Don't be silly. I swear we didn't have this terrible tragedy where an inhabitant went mad and burned everything, chased this person that was perfect to be the main character in a horror film into a room and exploded the floor. Not at all. Never even understand where you'd get those silly ideas."

"Well, had to make me own fun, hadn't I... Ain't that much to do fer an old cad like me self, innit. Thass why explodin' the ol' house seemed like a bloody good idea, right. I don't think i's faire is all. Callin' us evil. Boredom drove us to it!"

"Suddenly, I could fly!"

Yeah yeah, I had fun making that story up. :P

That was such a pretty place to take pictures.
I really wish we could enter the house. But seeing as most of it didn't even have a floor most places, it may have been for the best. Possibly. I definitely think that someone should fix them up, though. They are gorgeous houses, and even though haunted to fuck, they would probably make attractive living quarters. Especially for students who really endure anything to have a place to live. I mean look at some of the houses. They are covered in mould! Not good is it. I'd rather have a ghost to deal with.
Nasty nasty mould.

Speaking of, I believe we have fungus in our kitchen.
How nasty is that!
It sort of just "sprouts" whenever it's moist and not been cleaned for a while (which is happening more than you'd think)
It's vile.
I really can't wait until I get my own house. I'd love the one pictured above. Seriously. Would be freaking awesome. A bit of a fixer up-er. But... We all love a bit of a project, don't we! Could sell it off afterwards to a rich oil baron whom catches your fancy and then decide to take you to a trip to a far away land of doom and stuff, and then you discover you were brothers all along. Making it a rather happy family reunion.
Love it when that happens.
We went to Toys'r'us and looked at ninja turtles and ponies and doctor who toys for ages, which was fun. They each got a thing, and went happily out of there... Ever after...

OOH! OOOH!!! Frank really wanted to try The Beast at the Upland Diner, but he was told that he wasn't allowed to do so after 4 o'clock, which it happened to be, because they closed at 5. Which sucked. But Carina helped him out.
They didn't finish it.
Disappoint.
They sure did give it a valiant try though. They didn't want to even see food for the rest of that day, so I guess, all in all, it's not that expensive after all. Which is cool.

 They actually managed to clear off quite a lot of food. Alun popped by and helped too, which was nice, because wasting food is silly. And we don't like being silly, do we Pepper!?
This is their "Let's go jumping around vigorously whilst punching each other in the stomach"-pose. True story, bro.
 So that was really nice, having them over. I thoroughly enjoyed myself! There is not much to do in Swansea, but I think they had a decent enough time. We saw Oz and the Croods in the cinema, regrettably didn't get to go laser tagging... But was basically just what they missed. Went to an arcade and kicked a zombie butt, and everything. Lovely time!

 So then it was back to Norway! After a night of late-night hoovering (to, I'm guessing, my house-mate's rage and horror) washing and drying of clothes and about 2 hours of sleep. Nearly overslept as well. So happy I put on two alarms. Just.... Not even words for how happy I am nothing went wrong.

Then a lovely evening with Trudi and Randi, which was nice after only half-seeing them this Christmas... AND THEN to Ose. I don't like it much on that cabin. It was all right, don't get me wrong, but it was too hot. And I don't often say that.
It was nice, though. But two nights was enough for me. The Okse cabin is definitely the place I like the best. I suspect that my family only like places with O's in them. Okse is Ose with only a k. Haha. What an incredibly lame thing to point out.

CHEERIO!
