rallamajoopBack from darkest Melbourne! The week in summary:
Friends from Perth who have not been seen in months, caught up with while in Melbourne: 2
Anime geek supply outlets visited: Many. X)
Naruto cosplayers spotted in the city (albeit at a distance): 1
Catwoman cosplayers spotted performing in the competition: 1
Time between the moment Joop should have realised she was genuinely sick for the first time this year and her first skating event: About 24 hours.
Result in Joop's first event despite this: Silver medal.
Result in Joop's second event despite still being sick: Bronze medal.
Total other skaters who Joop actually had to beat to get those: 2
Times the competition venue had to be shut down because the roof was leaking: 1
Degrees Celcius by which the venue was colder than the outside air temperature: We're all sure it must have been at least 10.
Times Joop has now arrived home from a competition in Melbourne with two medals and a sore throat: 2
Loot!
Okay, I lie, these are just the Ones We Prepared Earlier (ie, pre-2003).
What I actually brought home this year:
(I'm sure someone on the organising comittee thinks the new design looks very... progressive or artistic or something. Most of the skaters seem to be less impressed. Still, I suppose the *colour* of the medal you bring home colour is the important bit. :P)
Overall, hasn't been a half bad week. ^_^
