back home for christmas, hurray hurray!
Ah, how good it feels to be back in Notts once more... although i now have a room full of boxes to unpack and was greeted with a sinkful of pots this morning, but hey ho, such is life...
ok the first draft of this entry was a load of shite so i'm starting again.
i feel kind of dazed at the moment. i think the lack of sleep over this past week is finally catching up with me. i'm never leaving an essay that late again - on the night before it was due to be handed in i stayed awake til six in the morning, fell asleep in front of my computer then woke up at half eight and dragged myself back to the library... got it all done in the end, though i'm not expecting a fantastic grade this time around.
later that day, after i mumbled my way through a rushed presentation, went into town to find a present for lucy and hurridly wrapped it back at the house, i went over to the boys and drank cheap champagne until mum rang to say she was nearly on the street. five minutes later my house had been invaded by joe and ed, who were itching to get going to the gig they were here to see at the guild. mum ran them round in the car and waited while i showed them where to go and laughed as they joined the queue in the rain, then drove me back to the house before setting back off for home. i went back to the boys house, but moved on from cheap champagne to decent red wine, and got persuaded to accompany them to the guild and try and get my bro to come to School Disco. i was more successful in this than i thought, so after grabbing a random stranger to sign in ed, we went to find ruth, oish and lucy somewhere in the bar.
it was a fun night. joe was on female-watch, ed looked kinda bored, and i did my usual bouncing around being stupid thing that i usually do at guild nights. one guy did try to pick a fight with joe, but i couldnt hear what was going on and thought joe had made a friend or something... ah well.. on the way out we saw the same guy wrestling with three bouncers. stupid kid.
the girls got the bus home but me, ed, joe and henry decided to walk.. well, we didnt really decide it, we started ambling in that direction then thought we might as well carry on. made a midnight stop at asda to get pizza and bacon then walked back home to find oish and ruth waiting for their mince pies. we didnt get to bed til about 4:45am...
next day my housemates all went home. i completely missed lucy, but got up just in time to see ruth and oish off, then went in the shower before attempting to rouse joe from his stupor. ed was already awake, so i made him a bacon butty and a cup of tea. i had wanted to go into liverpool and try and get some christmas presents but by the time everyone was up and dressed it was almost four, and i reasoned that the city centre would be heaving, so we didnt bother, and instead stayed in watching annie and eating junk.joe offered to take us out for dinner so we got the bus into town and decided on ASK, the italian place i'd been to with mum and auntie julie once. it was pretty decent - they said the only free tables were in the smoking area but we were the only ones there til halfway through our meal, and even then, the tables were far enough away from us to not really notice. the dinner was fairly decent, i had some salmon pasta and the boys had pizzas. ed did manage to knock a whole glass of water onto the floor but we pretended it wasnt us, hehe..
we went to asda again on the way back then went back to the house to get changed before going out to the krazyhouse christmas special, woooo... karina joined us around ten and we ambled down to the bus stop, got on and stupidly sat at the back. stupidly, becasue a bunch of horrible scally kids got on at the next stop and sat around us, talking in very loud voices, drinking some cheap-looking liquor from the bottle and smoking. i told the driver as we alighted, little shits.
the K was pretty empty when we arrived but filled up after about an hour. we spent a while looking for steve, who'd said he'd meet us in there, but then karina got a message around midnight to say he'd had to take a girl to the hospital and wouldnt be coming back. twas a shame, as i hadnt really said goodbye, but steve's that sort of guy and it was a decent thing for him to do. we stayed in the K til about three, when my back started to really ache and i got really tired very quickly. it was hell trying to find a taxi, but one driver very kindly (albeit slightly grudgingly) took us to karina's as it was on his way home. we stayed there while karina made everyone drinks, and i fell asleep on the sofa, but then was dragged up and forced to walk the lonely cold walk home. again, didnt get to bed til 5.
so this merry tale brings us to sunday... woke up feeling all confused to be told by mum over the phone that she was almost there... reluctantly departed my bed and made some effort to wake up, and wake the boys up in turn, then mum arrived ten minutes earlier than i thought and was greeted with a stinky Krazyhouse-scented me still in my PJs, la de da... we finally got everything packed up by around four, and left after i'd nipped over to john's to ask if he could put our bin out on wednesday :D. mum missed the turning from the M6 as she was partaking of a jaffa cake at the time, so the journey took a bit longer than usual but was otherwise pretty uneventful. got back and spent far too long on the net, and did the same today.
this did mean that my photo album has some new pics, so feel free to peruse them at your leisure.
righty, that's it from me, i'm going to go indulge in a small piece of sugar laden rubbish before finding out what time meg wants me over. and possibly some other stuff too.
a bientot
