A Shocking Case Of Things Going Right.......
So in a shocking change to the norm an organised outing actually went exactly to plan
, I know I couldn't really believe it myself. So me, Lucy, Zoe and Hayden all went to the cinema in Leeds to see "28 Weeks Later" for Lucy's birthday. That was the original plan but Zoe & Hayden bottled out (bless 'em) and ended up seeing "Oceans Thirteen" instead. Considering it was the first time I'd met Zoe & Hayden and only the second time I'd met Lucy who I know through a workmate via Myspace we got on really well, better than I do with some of the people I've known at work for over a year. Hayden & Zoe are the original loving couple who were constantly stopping to make out as we walked through Leeds prompting Lucy to roll her eyes and come out with likes of "Pack it in you two". For some reason instead of getting the train into Leeds like they were going to Hayden decided to drive into Leeds which is something I don't think he will be doing again in a hurry since it cost 19.00! to park his car near the train station.
And Not So Right
So I'm thinking 2 outings within a few weeks was probably pushing my luck really 'cause events didn't quite run so smoothly the other night when me and Jay my friend from work went into Leeds. First thing was trying to find a pub that wasn't going to be full of knuckledraggers 'til Rio's opened so I opted for "The Templar" which is a pub I used to go in all the time a while back. It's a fairly nice place but I'm thinking the clientelle weren't exactly used to us young uns judging from the looks we got upon entering the place. We got a table at the far end and Jay started telling me about his latest Sexcapades much to the interest of one of the other patrons sat near us going by the way his eyebrows were going up and down. After a few hours we headed out to Rio's which Jay hadn't seen or been to before only to find the place wasn't open? which kind of stumped me a bit. So after quite a bit of walking 'round Leeds in the rain I might add we ended up in another pub. This time we went to "The Angel Inn" another place I used to frequent quite a lot which although small is a really nice place. We had a bit of an encounter with some chav morons one of which came up to me when I was taking a piss and said "Don't you know who I am?" I was like what the fuck? They left not long after and within five minutes of them leaving everyone in the place was talking about them and how fucking hillarious their "hard bastard" walk was. I took a few pictures as we were walking 'round Leeds of stuff which I thought was quite funny.
Jay trying to ignore all the old drunks in "The Templar".
I dread to think what the facilities are like going by the look of the door.
"Danger Fragile Roof", nice of them to warn potential robbers.
Bizarre notice I found in an alleyway.
Our gears mint guv'nor.
Strangely everything's 1 though, can't be that mint can it.
A Dark Place
So I've just had a big discussion/arguement with my parents about the whole moving out thing, I've been thinking about it for a while now and thought I had a good plan worked out but it's all exploded in my face like a well hurled grenade. My friend who I was planning on sharing a place with has now decided he doesn't want his own place after sorting things out with his folks. So I'm stuck now with nowhere to go really, after talking to my parents I've been pretty much convinced that I'm never going to move out and I'm going to be stuck here forever more since I just can't afford to live on my own and don't want to live with a bunch of strangers. I can't even convey how hollow and empty my life seems sometimes, I usually feel better when I'm at work than when I'm at home at least when I'm there I can pretend that I'm not a loser who's stuck at home with no real friends just wondering why everything seems so futile. I'm stuck living in a room that I can barely fit in, nevermind anyone else. If other people 'could see where I currently live they'd probably laugh and say "you're kidding right?" which is why no one ever comes to my place there's no where for them to go, there's no way in hell any girl would come back to my place not that that's going to happen anytime soon. God damn this noise in my head.

I'm glad you had a good get-together with people. Even the second seemed to go alright.
But I know what you mean about pushing your luck. That's the way I think too. That maybe I should accept that I had a good evening, and not try again anytime soon, since surely that would be a disaster, just to even things out.
Thanks for the software tip. I downloaded the program, but haven't tried it yet. Next time I take some pictures and need to reduce them, I'll give it a go.
