Fairs and Fantasies

Yes, I am aware I've got a ridiculously chirpy bed sheet.

Carlos's high school held a fair this weekend, so I decided to visit the fair with our friends on Day 1 then man the booth with Carlos and grab lunch afterwards on Day 2. Unfortunately, only Luigi was able to make it on Day 1, so it was just the three of us trying to win the geekiest things in the booths. In one booth, for example, we decided to collect points for the Super Mario stuffed toy, then in another booth we pooled our points for the Uno deck. The three of us had our pictures taken at a photo booth, Luigi bought himself a Slytherin shirt in the bazaar (how fitting), then when the fair closed we went back to Taft to pick up Chubz then have dinner at The Fort.

Look at dat bromance

At The Fort, we went to Fully Booked (as per usual). I got myself an autographed copy of ghostgirl: Homecoming, as you can see in the photo above. Chubz got himself hipster comic books (with a proud Luigi totally supportive of this decision). Luigi got himself a Fairest graphic novel (or two, I can't quite remember). We all then headed to TGIF's, had an awesome dinner, then had a mental car ride on our way back to Taft. Evidence of our loss of sanity: upon turning off the engine, Carlos turned to us and said, "So... since I drove you guys all the way here... will you... help me... find Nemo." It wasn't even a question.

Day 2 saw Carlos and I manning the booth and keeping children in line at around nine o'clock. Well, it was mostly Carlos who did that, since I was too busy finishing ghostgirl: Homecoming. I am honestly too lazy to review the book, but I quite enjoyed reading it minus the "telling" language. It's become quite a guilty pleasure. Anyway, when Carlos finished his shift we decided to grab lunch (and mini-donuts, why are they so underrated omglooob). We then watched over his class's booth first (the one where we won the Uno deck the previous day) before we decided to ride the Octopus, play another game at the Super Mario stuffed toy booth (in which Carlos managed to win me the Stitch stuffed toy in the picture above) and have another set of photos taken at the photo booth. Afterwards, he decided to get me a Jack Skellington-ish pendant and necklace since I've lost his dreamcatcher and I have been feeling empty without it. 

It's been a great weekend, overall. I apologise for the block-y texts; I'm still getting used to this after half a year of not blogging. I shall post more pictures when I go back to the city.

Shoutout to Carlos for letting me have a great weekend after that catastrophic two-week illness. You are the best.
