Randomosity With Buttons And Cheese

I went to the annual Shrewsbury Flower Show (the time of the year when tourists come from random places to trall round the local Quarry which is packed full with flowers and people trying to sell you random things) with Kimi today. I had loads of fun =D So yeah, I’m gonna write about it; mainly for myself because I like to look back on the day’s events =D

I was pretty hungry when we got there so we found seats near the main arena to sit on for me to eat my grub. As a bonus, there was entertainment for us to watch while I ate; people riding horsies!

A  bit later we were at the arena again and this time there were the motorcross dudes riding and performing magical flying tricks. They kept ordering the crowd to cheer at them to spur them on. Well, me and Kimi never need to be ordered to cheer; we whoop at anything. They told us to pick our favourite to win and we had to cheer extra loud for them. I misheard the name of one of the guys; he was called Samson but I thought they said Samsung, so he was my favourite because he had the name of a TV manufacturer (and he was in black, which is always good). This guy was 19, and had stars tattoed up his arms; amazing.

So there we were, yelling after everything they did, and me taking amazing action shots of them (I’m so stupidly proud of them). We decided that we were going to push our way to the front so we could see them closer up and they could hear our cheers, just cause we’re cool like that. While cheering, we wished Frazz was there to cheer with us; his cheering would have rocked *wink wink nudge nudge*

We found a place nearish the front and continued cheering (much to the annoyance of people around us who glared at us for cheering so loudly and stupidly. Well that’s what we were being told to do, so ha). It came to an end but we were informed by one of the dudes that we could meet them afterwards and buy merchendise. We ran round to where their stall was and planned to buy a signed poster. The first time I caught a  glimpse of them I was so disappointed. They looked so skanky and icky. Especially Samsung, whose tattoo said “never leave me”  Great. They asked for our names and when Kimi said “Kim” the older dude said to Samsung “Oh you like the name Kim don’t you?!” but he was too busy looking at the scary human dog and massive scottish man to reply.

We saw a stall of really pretty twiddly things (that’s as far as my description is going tonight) and so we went in to look at them. I just stood there, totally transfixed on them, so the man spoke to Kimi about them. He had the same accent as the small guy in Madagascar who says “My plan is working in a working kind of way”, which was so cute. He told Kimi how they work and blew on one of them to demonstrate. He then asked, “So what do you like? Butterflies?” and Kimi just nodded, so he turned his attention to me and obviously thought I was a bit slow and just said to me, “They’re pretty aren’t they?” in a really patronising voice. I replied, “Yeahh can I take a photo to show my mum?” I took a lot cause they came out so wel =D all sparkly and what-not.

Kimi wanted to win a toy chicken with this game where you had to knock over skittle things with 3 balls. She tried with 2 and did quite well and I nicked the last ball and did terribly. She hated me so much then and wouldn’t let me touch her balls after that, and I wouldn’t blame her either. She tried again with 3 balls, and after she’d finished (and didn’t win) the guy behind the stall said to me “Go on then!” and lobbed a ball at me. Now, I’m obviously one of those girls who can’t throw or catch at all so the ball just hit me and rolled off, so he shouted, “Get it then!” Sport has always been my strong point…

We wandered off into town so I could buy stuff =D and went into Peacocks to do our normal thing of trying on clothes we know we’re not going to buy. We had 4 each, and so when we had them on we took picis =D it’s just something we like to do (again, cause we’re cool like that) but I saw that there were loads of people waiting; so I finished up early and went out. When I walked past them every single one of them glared at me, so I just hurried off to hang up the stuff.

When we’d finished in town Kimi decided she was gonna go home, so I walked back up to the Quarry to meet my mum and sister.  I was walking up the hilly bit, behind this old man. I thought he looked fairly innocent and nice, but no. He was walking behind a teenage couple, and every few seconds they would turn round and look at him. When he saw them looking, he would shout at them “I’m still here!” “Yeah I’m still behind you!” and I became more and more freaked out; I was behind a complete stalker. I started walking slower and slower so I wasn’t near him, but I still wound up crossing the road with him. Thankfully though, he lost the couple.

Because my people were watching some music thing that I wasn’t interested in in the main arena, I said that I’d just walk around and take photos of flowers and things (because I love doing that =D ) I didn’t know they were going to be so long though; I was trailing round by myself for two hours. I must have looked like such a loser, and for the first hour I really didn’t care because I was having loads of fun, taking photos while listening in on people’s conversations (wow I sound like a freak) but after I’d walked round all the tents twice, I’d had enough and started texting people.

In one of the tents, there were loads of fruits and vegetables and I could hear Fraz’s voice say “but there aren’t any lemons!” there were some damn long carrots though; must longer than 6.2.

When we finally got in the car to go back home, my feet were killing me. I now have a huuuge (and I mean huge) blister on my little toe, and it hurts so much it makes me limp =(

Ahh well, twas a day of awesomeness =D

Love y’all
