Zombie Walk, meeting NOTCH in BK later ;)

Heya bronies.


Today was Sweden's Zombie Walk. While I usually am not too fanatic to see all fashioncore brats dress up like the Joker from Batman with an extra hint of blood seemed extra enticing this year.

Was it the fact that I knew I was gonna rile them up for being posers and get them to chase me a few blocks in town that I went? Or was it perhaps the fascinatingly huge participation that made the thrill of being chased even greater? I can't decide.

After this, I met up with a few old school-friends. I haven't met them in a few months, and it felt nice to meet them again. Due to some confusion, combined with some BS unneccesary teenage drama, a few of my friends stormed away for no apparent reason. Meeting was fun, but the lack of communication led to some misleading conclusions.

Afterwards, we decided to get some lunch. Half voted sushi, half voted Burger King.

So we walkd down to BK.


Guess who we meet in line?


That's right! None other than Markus "Notch" Persson, the creator of Minecraft

:)

Great guy to talk to. He was a bit shocked to meet some swedish fans for once. My friends got a fanboy label by getting all riled up over it.

Personally, I've seen him twice on the train when I'm out 'n about in town, so meeting him again isn't the biggest shock for me anymore. Stockholm isn't reaaaaally a big city, especially when you go to school a few km's from his office.

After this, we re-grouped, bragged about meeting Notch, and got cursed for having such luck. We went down to a teen club where most people play card games, and my friends played some Magic the Gathering. Since I don't reaaaally like those kinds of geeky things, I spent my time hitting on one of the chicks I met there. She was nice, but kind of reclusive, and didn't quite get the hint.

I later learned that I could sell my olllllllld 1st Edition Yu-Gi-Oh cards here for a lot of money.

Needless to say, it appears that I could make about 100 dollars on the decks I have, based on rarity and condition.

The girl had to go, and while I did leave an impression, she didn't give me her number. Slightly dissapointed, I only stayed a bit longer, learning how to learn Magic quickly. After that, I went home.

It might enlighten you to know that one of my best friends might be getting an internship at Mojang as a programmer/tester, as well. :D

Lol at the fail with the girl :P

Well not fail, but still.[/quote]

Hey! It's not like this was my fault. She really appeared like one of those gamer girls, and she was cute. I'm pretty sure it's the first time someone's honest to her about that.

I suppose I could've run after her and begged her number out in the rain. But come on, I'm not trying to scare her :D

it seems like a good job considering no one at Mojang seems to do any work.
Well, the minecraft team anyways.

Yeah. I checked notch's twitter when I got home, apparently he'd left the office early to grab some food and go home, hence why we met him.

This was, ofc, before he announced his programming marathon. Since I hadn't checked twitter earlier, I didn't know he was going to do it.
