Hey guys ! I've been meaning to participate to those cos I like the themes and actually have something to say about them :D So here goes @missy @rambo @lyxzen :
What were your favorite video games as a kid ?
The first one that comes to my mind is Bubble Bobble ! I'm not talking about Bust-a-move, the puzzle version of it but the one in which you go down in the cave of monsters to rescue a princess that's been kidnapped. It's a one or two players game and you get to play with adorable little dragons called Bub and Bob (:D) and blow bubbles to the monsters, eat fruit (and junk food sometimes) and I love it haha. I used to have the theme as a ringtone and I still have the blowing bubbles sound as a notification sound on my phone !
I love it because I have dear memories of playing it while listening to The Fugees' "The Score" album with my brother when I was kid :) I found a Gameboy version of it (we used to play on his NES in the 90's !) and play from time to time.
This is the sound of my childhood right here ! Damn, I really am a 90's kid, right ? :D
I also have super dear memories of playing Duck Hunt, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter with my brother and Spyro, Croc: Legend of the Gobbos on my own. Not to forget Tekken, Pokemon, Donkey Kong Country on Gameboy Color (LOVED this one), that fucking Gameboy Mario in which you couldn't save your game and had to begin from the start (at least that's what I thought when I was a kid ? Please tell me I wasn't wrong D:), Chip n Dale on NES, and a lot more ! But Bubble Bobble really has a special place in my heart <3
Tell us a love story
Well I'll tell you about the one I'm living right now ! When I was in High School there was this guy who seemed to have a crush on me, he was super sweet and cool but I had a boyfriend at the time. Maybe I would have given it a try because I liked him if I wasn't dating the other one already but I was madly in love with him at the time (first super gorgeous bf, long distance and tough relationship. I suffered a lot from it because I love him more than he loved me but that's a different story !). He added me on FB in 2009, I think, and followed me on IG as well. We weren't super close or anything but we had a lot in common and gave each other a like or commented on each other's stuff on FB from time to time.
We never really talked or anything. Then last year, he posted a photo of him in a tux on FB and I left a flirty comment that went something like "Heeeeellooooo" haha :D He answered something along those lines "How you doin' ? But seriously, I can't compete with you photography wise..." and I said "Well you make me blush but my commented wasn't related to the quality of the photo... :D". Dude came straight to me on messenger to chat saying that I was the one making him blush now, win hehehe.
Anyway, I was kinda scared at the time because I'm NOT confident at all, I don't even know why I commented on his photo to begin with (except that he looked really good in that tux) but I'm super glad I did ! We chatted all day everyday, realized that we really did have a lot in common. He was going a bit head over heels and I tried to be the rational one, waiting to see each other IRL. Then he came to see me and what I feared happened : he didn't like me as much as he thought he did. BUT I liked him way much more than I thought I would !
I was heartbroken, told him that he made me fall in love with him and he was stupid for getting so crazy about it, letting me alone with my feelings, etc. Anyway. We kept chatting everyday and he confessed that he tought he may had done a mistake. We decided to go slow this time, see what would happen, keet it cool basically haha.
He came back to see me and that's when we really became an item :) Back then, my plan was to move to London but I spent all my time going to his (he was living 6h away from me, that's far away in France !) and I even left my job to spend more time with him. Which meant less money to move to the UK but our relationship was so easy and nice and obvious. We have this "mind sync" thing that's still super effective, most of the time we think and say the same thing at the same time haha it's awesome. He's basically a guy version of me and vice versa :3
So yeah, I told him that I wasn't sure I would have enough money to move to London in September like I planned to and he said that he could picture us living together but it would have to be in Orléans where he lives because of his work (he's a mechanic in the Airforce) and I said yes. I moved there last August with my cat and my stuff and now we have two cats and it's been a year since we started dating (our anniversary is February the 12th) !
I gotta say that I'm super happy. He feels like home, I'm super in love and can picture myself living my whole life with him, making plans, etc. It feels safe, mature, rational and awesome. Can't wait to see what the future's got for us !
Oh and this is what he got me for our anniversary :D
And that's it ! Hope you liked those little homeworks :D Also I'd like to thank everyone that congratulated me on my new staff position, I'm still over the moon about it, can't wait to shoot more and more for the site ! Love you all guys <3
