Bienvenidos!

happy new year everyone!
hello there folks.
i'll try and keep this brief to keep it as un-tedious as possible, plus i want to go to bed soon as i have work again tomorrow. urgh work. today was boring and pointless and i had to leave ian's because of it. mmmm ian... well i stayed longer than i intended to anyway; my original plan was to come home at some point on friday, buuuut lots of his friends were going to see return of the king and i hadnt seen it so i stayed and the film was pretty kewl (apart from the smoking dude in the corner who i kept throwing dirty looks at) and we went to the pub after and i saw nicky from liverpool... the whole 4/5 days was fantastic, i love being there. only i really annoyed myself because i took my crappy little disposable camera and didnt take any photos at all. because all his friends are like really into proper photography and i just felt stupid. but never mind. i have the pictures in my head, screw everyone else :-P
so what did we do? umm, got there tuesday (damn their devART keeps timing out!) aaaaand... oh yeah, he completely kicked my ass at this mario racing game thing on the gamecube, then later we went to jon's for some sort of party that ended up being 5 guys and me and we had to sleep on the cold hard floor that made every part of my body go numb at least twice. his mum picked us up at 8 the next morning and i went straight back to bed til about one.
later we just did not a lot til his friends started arriving... there wasnt as many as last time but it was still fun. everyone was sat in the living room watching pirates of the caribbean and drinking and stuff til midnight, which passed without anything earth-shattering happening, ian downed half a glass of vodka in one go (strange boy... neat party trick though) and i got steadily drunker until the point where i couldn't sit straight and sucking my thumb felt oddly reassuring. i think i got marched up to bed at about 4am, and slept til about one. again. umm so later on thursday, new years day, (wow this keyboard sounds loud) there were still people round from earlier so we all kind of slobbed in the living room and watched futurama, then they all drifted off during the afternoon. the mario racing game came out again at some point while there were still some people there, and everyone had their asses soundly whupped by a dude named joe. possibly soul calibur may have occurred as well but i cant remember. i had a well-deserved shower after tea but then will came round while i was slobbing in my kewl xmas pjs. ah well, at least they were more respectable than the ones i took last time. and they actually fit! so him and ian played soul calibur for what seemed like forever while i sat there reading the light fantastic. i did actually have a go and won, to my immense surprise, but as my beginner's luck would not last i handed the console back before i lost face. i think we watched red dwarf at some point too.
ok friday. got up late. again. and went into birmingham to have a look round. was excellent, i didnt spend anything apart from the cinema fare and a couple of drinks! went to the jessops photography shop where will works and ian bought some stuff and had some stuff bought for him, then wandered off to look at some stuff til we were supposed to meet up for the cinema. the bullring is kewl, has some amazingly tacky stuff at stupidly expensive prices though. however the food court did smell mighty yummy and i think it merits a proper visit at some point in the future. met everyone at jessops, went to burger king for snack type things (i shared a milkshake with ian. was +++better than the maccy D ones.) then to the cinema, which i mentioned earlier. after it had finished we went to the brair rose which i think is a wetherspoons offshoot and people got slightly drunk.. i couldnt really be bothered though plus my stomach had pretty much emptied after that 3hour film... we got the last train back to wylde green and alex and will took photos at the station... i got a bit worried when they were actually on the track.. urgh stupid 'boy-goes-on-train-track-and-has-his-legs-cut-off-by-a-train-that-he-had-plenty-of-time-to-move-out-of-the-way-of' films at primary school... then they came back to ians and played soul calibur.. again... i dont get it, it's all the same except with different characters who say equally absurd phrases... ian for some reason coined the word 'addicticle' as we were walking back to his house... i think he was looking for addictive, but addicticle is much better :-D i sorted my stuff out while they were being boys, but didnt sort it very well - i seem to have left a choker, some chocolate, some face wash stuff, and my excellent real leather pyramid-studded belt... hmph. that belt rocks. went to bed about half two, then got up today at around half nine while ian was still asleep (and apparently dreaming of elephants...) and he walked me to the station in the snow... mmm he has this gorgeous green gap sweater and looks soooooooo fine in it.... ahem. caught the train from wylde green at elevenish, came home and went to work.
boo, my pyjamas still smell like his house... i'm probably not going to be able to see him now until february half term, because of exams and not knowing what my SSM timetable will be like. that's pretty crappy. buuut, at least this time i have an approximate date to look forward too, so i dont feel quite as down as i did last time i left.
i remember, really clearly, sitting in one of the armchairs in his living room on new years eve, and he was sat on the edge of the cushion, i had my arms around his waist while he was talking to one of his friends. a nasty little voice inside my head was saying 'you're going to have to leave here soon you know' and some part of me answered 'maybe so, but i'm here now'
i was there. and it was brilliant. and i will be there again.
