Yeah, that's right. There's a two there. It's mostly because there's already been a Close Encounters of the BBS Kind thread, so I figured I'd make another one because this time, what I'm talking about isn't really relevant to what I said the first time. However, I did meet up with the same Newgrounds BBS user. It's just that this time, he got to meet a lot more...
It all started yesterday at around 1 o' clock. Our plan was to meet in a little coffee shop called Blenz and there, me and my friend, Stasia (who's known as TearDropped on the BBS) patiently waited for Konrad (LegomanClock) to show. Me and LegomanClock had met once before a few months ago when he was still known as Painbringer so this was really nothing new. It's just that we were meeting up with him because his birthday was actually two days ago. As if that wasn't enough, Stasia's birthday is actually today. Anyways, long story short, we were trying to celebrate Konrad's birthday as well as keep Stasia away from her house long enough for all her friends to set up a surprise birthday party for her. It all sounds simple but it turned out to be one of the most interesting days I've had in a long time.
LegomanClock showed up right on time and from there, we made our way to a local mall known as Metrotown. Me and Konrad split off from the girls (Stasia, and one of her friends, Madelaine, who was tagging along with us) and went into a video arcade to go play House Of The Dead 2. After almost beating the game, we made our way up to Surrey in order to check out Konrad's future home. We met up with the girls again, and by now, it was exactly the right time for the surprise party to begin. Me and Konrad called ahead to her house, and everything was set. Stasia never saw it coming.
After screwing around for a bit at her house with all her friends (in the least sexual way possible; I'm just as disappointed as you are), we all headed up to some skating rink where me and all of Stasia's friends had to volunteer for the night. I ended up getting Konrad to help us distribute flyers, while I ran some stupid stand where you could put your name in a draw to win a turkey dinner for Thanksgiving. Things went fairly well there, and after that, we headed back in the direction of TearDropped's house.
On the way there, however, we came across a shopping cart in the middle of a park. Being the stupid kids we were, jumping into the cart and speeding around like a couple of maniacs seemed like a great idea. That was definitely one of those you-had-to-be-there moments. We even got LegomanClock to sit inside the cart and we even have some pictures of both of us just acting stupid and having a great time. I swear, I've never flown that far in my life. Damn cart flipped over.
When we finally made our way back to TearDropped's place, it was already getting late. We had some cake (for both birthdays, I suppose), and broke out an old karaoke machine that actually turned out to be from the Philippines. Not a single song was in English! Made things more interesting anyways. And to finish off the night, we even took a picture of all the people there who visit the Newgrounds BBS. We just have to wait for it to get developed. The people in the shot are biteme2514 (me, obviously), LegomanClock, TearDropped and a good friend of ours, batmans_sidekick. Once we get all those pictures developed, we'll be reviving this thread to post them all here.
So yeah, sorry about wasting all your time by posting this, but it's just the most fun we've had in a really long time. And you say us regulars on the BBS have no lives. Shame on you. You all know who you are...
