News from Cfleesia

(continued from Movies and Character)

I just remembered an incident a couple of years ago, late at night, when a group of us were sitting stiffly at a bench outside a now-defunct CyberACCAfe. A rather annoying person had, unfortunately, a good question for us: (paraphrased)

So why are you guys having an overnight camp? Are all of you just going to sleep together in a classroom? (Aren’t you all going to game together or something? Anything???!)

That too, just triggered another much more recent ‘memory’ (quotes since I didn’t actually see the whole thing unfold): someone breaking out some decent music, CS 1.6 or whatever and the whole group – who had previously spent nearly 2 days together building their own little sandcastles – suddenly getting together and having fun. Wow.

Tekaning people until they bond isn’t the only solution, nor is it a total solution, to jumpstart or maintain relationships. Not that gaming is either, at least for me. There’s certainly no universal formula and it would do those who think uniformed groups are the boomz good to realise that. I’m not very sure how I bond with people, actually! What do you think? (ping me on Wave etc)

Well well well. Memories work in strange ways.
