We did some skinny dipping & bbq-ing.

We went out for some more skinny dipping as the weather was really nice and sunny, we seized the opportunity to BBQ as well. It's actually allowed to BBQ out in the open in Sweden so this was quite nice :)





The swedes were adamant that this was dirty water, despite the fact it some of the cleanest I've ever seen (you can see down for at least 1,5 meters just standing next to it, and it tastes fresh).





David rescued the ball which had inconveniently ended up in the water after we finished swimming.

We SWEmmed we did!






The water was "baltic" but it was fun also some brave people (Roy, David, Sofi & Ben) jumped off the bridge which was about 5 meters (or 2.5 Liche's) high in to the water. Afterwards we had some ice cream. As usual I made pictures.

Sunday.


So we somehow survived the Saturday evening, and people are collectively suffering from hangovers again, we went out to get some pizza for breakfast and we plan to go swimming in a bit.

But just to recap yesterday, epic amounts of drink were consumed and people who shall remain unnamed apparently needed to be carried up the stairs (yours truly was fast asleep on the couch though when this happened) in order to make it to their sleeping accommodations.

Sofi went for a new hairstyle which can be admired here (the guy next to her is the glorious iron fisted dictator that rules OO). Anyway we had our usual loads of fun and I have more pictures to proof it!

Ben just turned nineteen.

How often do you get "Happy Birthday" song to you in four languages?


Random update because it's fun here!

We had pizza's, Ilin & David arrived and I have pictures! :) Oh there's an evil killer bunny too...




In Trollhattan

Went into town for a bit this afternoon and we decided to eat something at a little bistro, turned out it was ran by some Turkish people who did not really understand any English add up to that the fact that our SWE!? isn't all that amazing and you can imagine that initial communication was a little hard. Eventually this was fixed by the Turkish lady phoning her daughter who did speak English handing the phone to Pix and communicating that way, minutes later the daughter actually walked into to the shop and acted as interpreter which was good cause the food was well nice in the end (and cheap unlike everything else in this country).

During our epic adventure Steve & Ben encountered Foxpersonman who they had been wanting to meet their entire lives, see the smiles of pure and undiluted bliss upon their faces when their childhood fantasy was finally fulfilled.
(Foxperson man seems quite amicable with Steve notice the location of his hand and the fact that Steve's zipper is half-unzipped, I reckon he needs to go on your hit list Georgie...)

Also we restocked today as Morani & Maddok will be arriving tonight after Steinmeister & Moone already arrived earlier today. Dan & Haley have sadly left us today an returned to the insignificant rainy island of the west coast of my glorious mother country.

Karp makes amazing pasta!

Karp made us amazing pasta! It had pasta and bacon and cream and cheese and it was amazing.

Yummy in my tummy.



Also I'm not drinking tonight cause I need to actually survive :)

BBQ with SWEese

So we had a BBQ which was well nice, we had sausages, chicken, pig and a really big slice of pig and some veggie burgers for our illustrious leader and salads of course as a bonus there was stuff with cucumber, garlic and yoghurt that I forgot the name of but it was created by Sofi!

The other thing was the arrival of Bette on the scene, stories of him being a midget are grandiosely exaggerated though (to my disappointment). He's very cheerful Dane with a pre disposition to drinking huge quantities Jack Daniels and Cola (which he kept up till 8 o'clock in the morning) I discovered.

Around 12.00 nearly everyone here was still asleep of which i ave these wonderful images that I feel it's my solemn duty to share with you ;-)

Maybeline (a.k.a. Chris fast asleep)













Bennios (a.k.a. Ben) sleeping on the couch and Haley also fast asleep 0n the couch.

Collective hangover day.

So basically everyone here is suffering from a hangover or lack of sleep, and since we seem to have unanimously decided (without anyone actually saying so) that drinking before it's evening is not socially acceptable, we are basically doing what you can expect gamers to do, they're gaming.
Two more Bruces arrived on the scene today namely, Twinkly & Sugarbaby, we (Thom, Sofi, Georgie & Me) went to pick then up earlier today and we had some food and drinks (the non-alcoholic kind).

There's some "amazing" footage of Kevin almost rocking at rock star, which I included here :-) and a little tour of the house as well. Sofi's brother and pix and some entourage I can't currently recall have now gone out to collect yet another Bruce in the person of Bette who arrived in the town centre earlier if everything went according to plan. He's over from Denmark just for tonight so we'll have to throw a party in his honour, which should be fine since we're BBQ-ing tonight.




And I do apologize for the horrible video quality, but there's only so much you can do with a mobile phone!

There's Moving images!

It's so silly :D


After the Battle

Some pictures of after day 1 (day 2 for most the of the others to be fair).

The hallway, we're a tidy bunch as you can see.

Ben's 5 star accommodations on the patio, any less would be unacceptable for the creator of the giant cock.

The patio table. Only mild casualties here.

The table in the kitchen, again only mild casualties, it's also incedently where i am at the moment.

The field hospital in the living room, Maybeline (blue body bag bottom) Pixelsmith (covered by the white sheet -r.i.p.-) and Exelos/Angelo (blue body bag up top).

Theatre of Operations

So we arrived at the Theatre of Operations and obviously after just having raided the liquor store the battle was going to be fierce. Obviously being essentially a huge collection of geeks there was laptops (I've counted 3 so far but there might be others in hiding). And one of these labtops (of the Apple subspecies) had the creature creator for the much anticipated game "Spore" installed on it, esentially it allows you to create creatres that can later be used in the game when it releases. Ever wondered what happens if you allow a Bruce to create a creature it thinks would do well in Darwinian environment? Right, a massive cock with feet... Why bother with unnecesary appendi and such when you can just BE a massive reproductive organ, ey? It eventually evolved to have antlers and an eye, it actualy evolved further i've ben told but Ben (the creator of this marvelous creature) had by then raised the moral of the troops enough for hem to return to the main stage of operations in the living room and outside on the patio. Beer, Cider, Wine and various forms of spirits were by now flowing richly and the mood was very cheerfull and light, topics discussed -if you can actually call joyous banter that- were varied and i remember none of them!

I'll finish up for now with proof of how awe inspiring I am, it''s clearly demonstrated by Maark in the picture bellow ;-)
