Random Sugar Honey Iced-Tea!

Today has been a very busy day, but it was totally fun and worth the burnout I'm feeling right now. Today, two of my best friends came over; an occurrance that is very rare during the Summer.

My day started out, waking up at 8.30am and jumping out of bed on auto-pilot, while in a sleep-filled daze, and fumbling to switch off the unrecognisable sound of my alarm clock. I flipped the switch down, expecting the sound to go off but it didn't, so I did the daring thing and flipped it up and quiet reigned in my room. I then flopped back into bed, only to wake up again at 9.30am. I couldn't get back to sleep, so I just lay there and got out up around 10.30am.

I then vacuumed the living room, in preparation of my friends' arrival. To kill the time I played some SMT: Lucifer's Call. At around 1.30pm-ish I felt like going for a walk, only for my friends to turn up at the door. It was great, tear-filled hugs and cuddles all around (I exaggerate), but really it was a touching moment.

I gave my friend, Leena, a tour of the house as it was a her first time and Bhavna was allowed to tag along ^_^ We messed about quite a bit and talked a lot, catching up and cracking jokes and laughing at all the stupid things we did (most of them were me, I think...) We took pictures of each other in funny poses (I used mine as my profile picture, aren't I spiffy?) The sunglasses I'm wearing are Leena's, to be honest I think they're pretty cool...though I don't think I got a chance to tell her that ^_^;;

We then proceeded to surf the internet, first showing Leena a funny strip Bhavna found of various characters visiting deviantART, followed by some cool and funny Harry Potter images found at accioBRAIN!. They then showed me some comics at Simply Potterific Comics, and then Leena showed us a clip from FF7: AC which had been given fun-subs, which was found on YouTube; it's title is Mr. Fluffy. In turn, I showed them a Captain Planet music video using clips from FF7: AC.

Would you guess that we then watched the movie? Yeah, we watched it, though not peacefully since Bhavna's only contact with a Final Fantasy title was 'The Spirits Within', so she had a lot of commentary to accompany the movie along with a bunch of questions. Thus, we had to pause quite a lot so that I could give a crash-course in the world of FF7; mainly covering who/what JENOVA was, why the three brothers referred to Cloud as a brother and, as requested by Leena, what Rufus's role was. Even those were riddled with commentary, and even moved off topic. In the end, Bhavna understood the story as the Krypton-woman came down with the goal to destroy the world, and attempted this by taking the form of the inhabitants' dead relatives and thus driving them crazy. What remaining Etcetera that still had their sanity, banded together and sealed the Krypton-woman, after which most of them collapsed from weakness and died. She also understood that Professor Hojo and Sephiroth both have issues, and that, by her reckoning, Cloud was a pot-head who liked to get on a high at the most inappropriate and random moments.

With the movie over, we then watched an old ep of Friday Night with Jonathon Ross, which featured Paul Bettany, William Shatner and Robbie Williams with Terry Venables. Personally, I don't get the attraction factor in Paul Bettany, but shh, don't tell Leena and Bhavna that I said that :p

Afterwards, we just chilled and then got ready to drop them home, courtesy of my lovely mum ^_^

Oh yeah! Be sure to check them out at the following:
