Escapism UK - 2010

[ultimateownage]

Chavy? You haven't seen chavy until you've seen my school. But according to people I'm a credit to my age group, but I still act like them IRL. Just not on the internet.

I don't like being born in the year I was.

I feel like I was born too young, seeing has I like music from 30 years ago, and I like all the games that where made before I was born, and everyone seems to think I have the maturity of someone twice my age.

You have to be some sort of evil twin, but without the evil bit...

Who said I wasn't evil? *plots your murder*

Waaaay off topic, but how do you get your mohawk so damn perfect. Mine's always fucked up looking.

Spoiler: Hope this helps

Firstly you want to keep your hair clean and conditioned, to avoid a build-up of product and damage to it. Straighten it if needed (I know I do when it gets longer).

I then use L'Oreal a-head Clay [http://www.hairsupermarket.com/p/209], not too much it's pretty thick and strong. Seriously rub it in, so barely any if left on your hands, and spike up hair. Soometimes I have to use a comb to get the fan working properly (I don't like liberty spikes). The I just give it a couple of all-over sprays from Got2Be Glued Spray [http://www.chemistdirect.co.uk/schwarzkopf-got2b-glued-blasting-freeze-spray-300ml_1_153574.html], with touch-ups as necessary. It takes about a minute to dry and if it can withstand a manic head-shaking, it'll last all day, unless it rains heavily.

While the two are quite pricey (you can only get the clay from hairdresser suppliers), the clay lasts at least a month and the spray up to two weeks. If you have a look for other products, follow my hard-learned rule of thumb: If it's not an aerosol spray it won't work and if it's a wet gel or clay it also won't work.

Oddly enough, tomorrow I'm having an investigation with other products (mostly the Got2BE Glued gel) and methods so I'll keep you updated.

manic shaking? Good for a metal concert then. I hate my hair, I need to get a better style, right now I don't even bother combing it, and just let it grow.

Hope you guys had fun there!

I might go next year, when I'm more active on this site and in the community, and when I meet the 15 years of age limit.

There was a limit?

Yea, why the hell did you think I didn't go?

The big problem is age unfortunately. At 39.5, I was - by far- the oldest, but I count as a "responsible" adult. I was carrying a first aid kit with me as well, just in case.

We have to get around all the angles of people falling ill etc.

What the picture of "Waiting for Root" didn't show was me walking past Revelo with my Dead Ringer open, and then turning and stabbing him. I think he nearly had heart failure

(I quickly decided that having a fake gun and balaclava around Kings Cross was NOT a good idea although I still had the costume changer, punch dagger and dead ringer watch)

Which reminds me, @thenumberthirteen, where did you get the ballisong pen? We needs it!

 

[Claymorez]

Girls in skimpies?, what? damn you real life for not allowing me the time to see this.

Looks like you guys had fun, hopefully next year I can meet all you wonderful people.

Next year you, me and ZP must attend and possibly sevre if we can drag him over from Ireland!

You're going to try and get Yahtzee to attent next year? Cool.

Do your moderator powers transfer over into real life?

Cause I don't want to get banned from Earth!

Yes, yes they do. I keep my banchainsaw on me wherever I go.

<spoiler=Comparing Prize Tickets>

How has someone not said 'Mine's bigger than yours' in response to that yet?

I'm now definitely joining the user group for next year.

I meant ZF (i.e. you) but who knows maybe I can persuade ZP

[small]Also SHHHHHH Don't tell them our powers can manifest on the mortal plane! [/small]

is it more cunning than a sack of Weasels?

Not really, do you think Sky could adopt me for a few days?

 

[Fraught]

...and everyone seems to think I have the maturity of someone twice my age.

Arr, don't get too cocky, sonny.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

Finally, proper internet access.
So yeah, Escapism was fun. I hurt in all new and interesting places and it will take ages to recuperate, but it was totally worth it.
I didn't really do much, but I was sort of part of the experience. I was even in pictures sometimes. Despite all my efforts

Big props to Spy and Sky for sorting the whole thing out. Seriously, you guys are fucking machines. Machines that pump out FEROCIOUS LIQUID DEPENDABLE
It is like a bath you think you are filling up with hot water and you hop in and oh shit now you are covered in all this DEPENDABILITY
The sheriff walks in with his deputy in tow and all the criminals start shooting but no bullets son just DEPENDABILITY
Shit's more dependable than a brick house. Keep blowing wolfie, all you get is a nice big helping of DEPENDABILITY

Or something.

Which reminds me, @thenumberthirteen, where did you get the ballisong pen? We needs it!

By a massive stroke of luck I just ordered another one for a friend and found it a lot cheaper than what I got mine for.

You assume that as a compliment, but as part of the male sex, you'll find that you don't mature that much when you get-

Arr, don't get too cocky, sonny.

Pfft, *Giggles* Sonny.

I've been using Joico Spiker [http://www.amazon.com/Joico-Spiker-Water-Resistant-Styling-Glue/dp/B000U6ETMO], which works fairly well, and can last through everything, but a mosh. My main problem is with getting the back of my head to look right.

Might have a look at that. With the back, I stopped caring much and just use a mirror to make sure it's in a straight line, anything beyond that just becomes obsessive and suddenly I've spent an hour doing my hair.

manic shaking? Good for a metal concert then. I hate my hair, I need to get a better style, right now I don't even bother combing it, and just let it grow.

Yep, it'll survive most support bands and light rain and most wind if it can survive that, very good test. If I am out to a concert though, I just double the hairspray, that got me through Slayer last month.
