In defiance of my usual workday MO, I went out to meet up with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
agiftedmind and deliver to her the Stealth Lockdown I'd got for her on Thursday. I ended up going downtown myself and meeting up with her in there, because the buses were a bit narfed up due to a St Patrick's Day parade. I presume they were holding it today because it messed things up less to have it on a weekend than on the weekday the 17th is.
Anyway, we met up in the Queen Street mall, spent a little time letting our various toy muses play together. She had Black Vector, my White Vector came to meet him and got pounced by Swoop, she also had the Aerialbots, who Blue wanted to meet even though we didn't have a clue which one was Skydive, but Blue didn't care too much as he was glad to meet the whole team, also Screamer was fascinated by how small and cuddly Titanium Skyfire is. Screamer now wants his own Titanium Skyfire, he likes the idea of having a Sky he can comfortably have sitting on his lap.
Then we went on a toyshop crawl, visiting all the Queen Street area stores that keep Transformers. There were a couple of times I was going to buy, but I wanted to see what else was around first. I almost got Divebomb the movie jet, but eventually ended up with Acid Storm in the end. Screamer wanted his Universe miniature but was placated that I got a jet, and is now diligently seducing his new harem member.
Something funny came up along the way - I don't have the memory for the exact conversation, but we were in the Queen Street Toyworld (the other is in the Myer Centre), where the Transformers were displayed right next to the Doctor Who toys. Both of were deciding on what to get (I got Acid Storm there, she got Activators Bandit Lockdown) and stopped for a moment at the DW section, and while she was looking at the Daleks, I found the Tardis model there was actually a USB hub. A thought came to me around about then: How's this for a crossover, Doctor Who and Transformers... and the Tardis can transform. XD
Let's just say, she was in stitches over it.
And despite some worries, Mum didn't go spare for me being out all morning and I did get through my shift... though it did go a little wrong because I'd been told the wrong time to start so I only did two hours anyway. There's been a note put in the book about me getting another hour some time in the coming week to make up for it. I'll probably just have one of my normal shift days where I go in an hour early.
