So, I think it might be time for an update...what the hell have I been dong since Thursday.... confused

Well, Thursday night was my work's Comic Relief fund raising night with bingo, and a pub quiz. Happy hour meant that all drinks were a pound, so by the time the quiz started we were all fairly twatted. I cheated outrageously by calling my mum to find...

Well I sure did enjoy my weekend, but it's always over too quickly. McK and I didn't do much on Friday night, I didn't get to his till about 9.30. Saturday we got up later than we should and went off to Birmingham for his band practice (ear plugs + crappy women's weeklies "I married my own son, shocker" = tolerable punk band practice tongue)...

After mature thought (ie sobering up blush ) I decided it would be a bad idea to turn up at my interviews looking scarier than usual.


I'll shave it again once I have a new job. Promise shocked

My weekend in brief. Well, it probably won't be that brief, but it certainly could be shorter. For some reason, I am finding it a struggle to do journal updates recently, but bear with me, this hideous lack of motivation should pass soon.

Friday night I came home from work and dashed off up to Cheltenham to see the UK SG's dancing and burlesquing. Was...

I guess I don't update these things enough, and I certainly don't reply to all the comments I get, sorry guys. I promise I will catch up today! I feel bad, and I guess the less I keep up to date with it, the fewer comments I'm going to get! shocked

I've still got to pick up a big cardboard box full of books from my parents house, I've forgotten whats in it exactly. Never read any point horror, for horror I have read Stephen King, Richard Laymon and Shaun Hutson when I was younger. The book 'It' only reinforced that clowns are freaky buggers. There was an episode of Dr Who around the same time that I read 'It' that had a space circus filled with murderous clowns and robot, the combination of book and tv gave me nightmares for days after.

Well after having planned a weekend of not-a-lotness and having chatted all day friday to the boy on email, I realised I couldn't possibly wait another whole week to see him, and decided another road trip up to the Midlands was entirely necessary.

So after spending Friday night with my bestest bud Gemma I got in my car and trundled up (at 100mph) to Malvern...
