Unchain Utopia
Oh my Lord as I would be saying to my friends. It has been a hot minute since I last wrote – but all that is about to change, I will have you know. I just came home from the trip of a life time, at least as far as it feels right now, and to be honest, a trip you get to spend with the best of your friends, is it not?
What started off as attending a streamer meet together with Maria, ended up being one of the most magical trips of my life. So, I’ll take it from the start. It all started with our dear friend Treecle, in fact. Just as us, she’s a fellow streamer and for the first time ever, together with streamer Matt Orloff, she was planning and going through with Treecle-Meet 2023! Being a long time supporter and friend of Treecle it was a no brainer for me to attend, and at first Maria had the idea of coming too. The next plan was to attend Comic-Con together with Tree over the weekend – however, changes in Maria’s personal life made things difficult to go through as originally planned – but as so did, a different plan started to bloom.
My Disney Besties – commonly known as Lordi besties – that are no strangers to this blog – Nathan and Sophie started speaking in our little groupchat about how they wanted to visit a Disney exhibition, and why not the Harry Potter studios? And so, our first non-Lordi, non-concert vacation plans were born.
After planning and stressing, freaking out and sweat and tears – the time was finally here. But, I will make a little halt right here. We’ll be getting to this part of the trip eventually, but first I must speak of the first parts. My meetings with my wonderful Twitch colleagues and friends.
As Treecle-Meet was happing rather early on Friday and I happen to live where no airplanes fly, I decided to travel out a day before my dear Disney Besties, and so I did. I arrived in London around 15 on the Thursday afternoon, and after making my way to the hotel (located relatively near Paddington Station) I got refreshed and headed out to meet up with my friends.
This was going to be the second time I met Corin, but it was the first time meeting Georgina, Divya and Pen! And it was so incredible. We went to a mexican place to eat where we had a wonderful time, eating and catching up and talking about everything and nothing. Sleepie and Pen had to leave a little earlier, so the remaining three of us went to Hard Rock Café for some drinks where we took some lovely pictures and had some lovely drinks.
But alas, all good things must come to an end so did this evening. I hope it won’t take too long before I see these amazing people again, because I absolutely adore them.
