Post-Nationals report

[rallamajoop]

Back 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. ^_^
