Gathering!
It must have been one of the biggest gatherings in the UK yet.
A whole four people turned up! One of them being me.
Lewis and Bayes came to manchester quite early, but i couldn't meet them because i had to go to school to get my GCSE results, which i will put up when i get home cos i can't remember them all. Then i went home to grab all my stuff for the gathering, and went into town, with my bag and Sabastian.
I went and found them both at the entrance of NEXT, where we had planned to meet everyone else. Dan turned up on time, and we waited for just under an hour for anyone else to turn up...but no-one did. So it was just us four, wandering around the Arndale.
We made a apple store vid each, except for Dan cos it wouldn't work on his account, so he made another on mine.
I took them to Affecks Palace, and i bought some more fake plugs, Lewis bought some badges, and Bayes went about taking pictures of signs and tshirts. It was basicallt just a shopping trip/day out in town with 3 other internet friends.
Then Dan had to go at 3, so us three went off to Waterstones and sat in the kids' section. My mum phoned me a while later and asked what we would be doing about tea. So we decided we would all go to a Chinese buffet...but Lewis didn't have much money left, and Bayes had none. We met my mum and dad in Picadilly and headed off to the Chinese buffet to check prices, found they were too expensive and went to McDonalds instead XD.
Mum and Dad went back home after that and took Sabastian and my shopping with them, while i went to the station with Lewis and Bayes.
We did Free Hugs, that only really kicked off when me and Bayes started doing them as well XD. The second hug me and Bayes got was this couple who had walked past before, then decided to come back and have a hug. I got a kiss on the cheek with mine ^_^ after that, Lewis took his sign back off me and i had to use the one he'd drawn in his notebook. The best hug we got was a group of about 6 girls all coming to have a big group hug, after asking why we were doing it. On the platform, another woman asked us what it was about, and then proceeded to give us all hugs.
aww i love doing Free Hugs <33333
Also, when i was waving them off, they were sat right at the back of the carriage and i started waving as the train pulled off, the guy sat infront of them looked at me slightly confused and started waving as well ^_^
So, many reasons to smile on the way back to the bus stop last night.
