Nick Continues To Be Awesome, Film at 11
Photos beneath the tag, stalkers.
Bullet point because we all have lives to lead, political opinions to blog:
* single-handedly won trivia tonight against 5+ tables of sometimes 8+ people. Also won 2 other competitions. My brain truly is something to be feared, though not for long as I won $70+ of free liquor vouchers to use up over the next few trivia nights. At least my brain will be well-preserved when it ends up in a jar in a robotic exoskeleton ruling the earth.
* speaking of needing mechanical devices for transportation, new car:
* My iPod arrived, and I got a free upgrade from the 80gb iPod to a 120gb version. This is more extra space that I'll never be able to fill, even if I continue to go buy CDs from awesome concerts such as..
* Went to the Sydney Opera House Spiegeltent and saw Root! perform live in an amazing concert. American viewers who don't know Root!, I also saw Gretchen Parlato there. She's one of yours.
* What's more awesome than a tattoo of Sonic? Maybe SOUNDWAVE PLAYING ELECTRIC GUITAR?!?
So yeah, ignoring the trivia win, my awesomeness is more of the "things I've bought, places I've gone, permanent markings I've made on myself" type, so let's balance this out with some actual awesome achievements. I'm reaching into the barrel of "Things I've Done" and the winner isss....
"Nick isn't very good at netball"
EPIC FAIL.
Okay, netball has a billion rules, all of which are designed to make it less fun, and girls are better at it anyway (because it's a girl's sport - there I said it), and they nicknamed me "Fumble" and they PRINTED IT ON MY PARTICIPATION CERTIFICATE, so you know what? Netball can have that victory over me. I have VIDEOGAMES to play. I don't need natural endorphins to feel good, I have beer vouchers and violent arrangements of pixels. Get lost, netball. You're not a real sport anyway, probably.
