So....who's doing what over Easter?

[Symphony]

Any plans people?

I'm actually going to take a couple of days off for the first time for ages....and re-charge my head! lol!

 

[Nickstervarius]

Hahaha, Steve!

I shall hopefully be munching on some chocolate... At work. 6am till 3pm But I am getting boozed in the evening, as it's my friends 21st :Smug:

Bank holiday tomorrow and Monday = 4 day Easter weekened! HELL YES!

Plan to spend it playing Portal 2, going to the zoo, Lord of the Rings drinking game and continue listening to Blood Alliance until my ears melt

Lord of the Rings drinking game

This has spiked my interest. What?

I'm spending the time with my family 'til Sunday, when I'm going back to Uni to meet my friends again and go for a night out.

This has spiked my interest. What?

There are several to choose from but I think we're going for:

Whenever someone eats / drinks something
Whenever a hobbit talks about food
Whenever the ring is mentioned
Whenever you see The Eye
Whenever Frodo says "Oh Sam"
Every time Sam says "Mr. Frodo"
Whenever someone sings
Whenever there's a helicopter shot
Whenever someone utters the word "precious"
Whenever someone talks not in the common tongue
Whenever Frodo falls over
Whenever there is an Elf vs Dwarf moment
Any time Sir Ian McKellen is awesome.

I may have to suggest that to my flatmates / friends and hopefully there'll be someone into LoTR enough to give it a go! Would definitely be a laugh.

Playing Conduit 2 and preparing for Gamebattles matches. Might listen to Blood Alliance while I play since they are both futuristic in a way.

Stay in and stuff my face with easter eggs and massive chocolate bunnies Lots of junk in the trunk for the tour.

All at once, or just one from the list? I imagine all at once would put you in the hospital by the time Fellowship ends

There's no Easter around here in my country because nobody is Christian around here, but there's this Holiday now called Passover.

On topic, I'm planning to go to an amusement park in Tel Aviv. This one:

Been there a while back, fun place!

I'm gonna be finishing my finals tomorrow and then making the 7-hour drive home for a week. We probably won't do anything special for Easter. I'll have to go to church But it'll be nice to be home and relax for a while..

is there something unique that you do in Easter? based on what you plan to do, it sounds like a very pathetic Holiday.

Easter is awesome. Everyone's happy cause spring is back and you eat tons of chocolate...and kids usually dress up for witches and stuff and go around asking for candy...kind of like a spring version of halloween.

Well the next 2 days i'll just be spending time with some friends, probably nerding through some games, then i'll be with the family...mainly relax and get some new powers.

Sounds a little childish.

 

[Gibbon]

well when it comes to that part...I did say KIDS dress up for witches and go around asking for candy...anyway I love easter, bunnies and chocolate, doesn't that make you happy

Well, I know very little about that holiday dude so I don't think it can make me happy. Hence I created this thread.

I want somebody to tell me a little about the holiday and what you do in it and what it's all about. I've read about it on wikipedia b ut things are still unclear to me.

all I know besides the bunnies and eggs is that it symbolizes the birth of jesus.

 

[Philomelle]

We don't dress up and ask for candy in the US. That's only for Halloween here. Do other parts of the world do the whole Easter Bunny thing?

 

[Philomelle]

It actually symbolizes the resurrection of Jesus.

It's pretty secularized here though.

Many around here don't even know that Easter exists!
