How to shift a 32" CRT TV

Its a fresh day and according to the window the weather seems fair which is quite good.

I need to think about packing my stuff away to move into the new place this weekend. most of it should be fairly easy because its just things i can put in my bag... other than my TV and the big box of papers i seem to be hoarding. Maybe i should go through those and keep the important ones. Theres letters and assignments, notes and all sorts of college and uni stuff in there. As far as the TV... this may need a rethink because i'm not carrying and old fashioned huge 32 inch TV from one half of cheltenham to the other. I may have to see if i can find a stray trolly and do it student style. Same with the microwave, its a but heavy.

The last time i moved stuff with trollys was quite fun. in 1997 when we moved into our house in walcot we found about 4 trollys from sainsburys and tescos. We parked them all down our alleyway on the side of the house. We then started playing trains with them and found more. My dad told us off for finding so many so we had to dump them all back around Walcot.

Back to now... and yeah so i'm hoping to get things sorted by "Action day Monday" and then depending on what's happening with Yorkshire move in ASAP.

I'm putting a new radio demo together as well and thinking about going for the Student Radio awards for best male with all my creative stuff and silly bits in there. In The Dark is already going for it but there's things my show does that the other show doesn't so it might be worth a go.

Back to the future "hoax"

Just mainly for people who saw it and people who know me, i knew that picture was wrong... I've seen the film loads... so when i saw that i was like "no... he went forward to 2015 in like October.

Firestarter

No i've not gone into the business of pyromania... or being a prodigy tribute act. I'm watching the Steven King film firestarter. It was a film i discovered when life got extreemly bad. It was on BBC1 and it helped me escape. plus the music in it was very 80s. It's even got Drew Barrymore in it and it reminds me of Ruby for some strange reason. I was feeling in-different about things and the music in this makes me feel all fuzzy and warm inside, i wanted to make sure it still happened.

I just watched Tinker Taylor Soldier Spy, it was ok i guess. It seems like one of those films id have seen in the cinema and never see again, but i have it on DVD so i'm sure i'll watch it again with someone.

Today was another chilled relaxed day. I went into uni to help Jelmer put the student radio demo together. Things are getting sorted with the new place which is cool. im off out to get that done tomorrow so Monday isn't action day again.

Time to go and watch this film :-)

Cheap Cake

I am a man. I like cheap cake. Rubarb pie is nice and apple slices are too. So in the short term my people of this blog thing, you must ask yourself this question, a question that has plagued me for years. How much does a ferry full of 3 legged grey hound dogs (With one floating dog for each car) in Robin Reliants weigh? That's todays post Ever get the feeling you've been cheated? Love you

Dawg Gone

I was at uni yesterday doing some more messing about in the studio, practicing things and just making lots of noise. On the way out the gates we were approached by a happy looking dog. It seemed to greet everyone so we said hello and walked on... but the dog followed us. I was with Jelmer and didnt know what to do about this dog, so we cooked it.

We did'nt really cook it, we called the police who were totally not helpful. So we took it to the security guard at park. We had to call him though because he was at another campus. Anyway we waited for him to come and sort things out while we sat with the dog. You'd have thought that dogs would have been found on a regular basis and the police would have done more to help us out with the finding of the owners, but it must have taken about 10 phone calls to a number of people who had a variety of different numbers and secret numbers for people with other numbers. He phoned them and they came with a barbecue and we cooked it.

That bit didnt happen either, but what actually happened was while waiting i spoke with the dog. Previously i suggested we ride it to town, and i asked what the dogs name was. He tripped while going over a ramp so i called him Trippy. We didnt know his real name but followed with enthusiasum if you said "Come on" in a high pitched voice he would go where you said. He seemed to be missing his owner i think because he told me. Well.. when i say that he didnt speak with his mouth. he wanted a hug and the hug shop was open. We waited till the security man managed to get hold of a warden. After nearly 3 hours wait and being bitten by midgies we gave the dog to the warden. It didnt have a collar but it was chipped, that was the good deed done for the day so we left. To my knowledge the dog was not eaten and was sent back to its owner.

Today didnt really consist of many actions. I stayed in the dark because i was having a dark day. Although i went out near the end of it. Just went to uni, messed about with music again and left. The Junkalitous tablets are going ok i think. So far ive not forgotten to take them.

Morning Toastie, and 2009 posts update

I'm sat on my bed having a toastie.

I'm taking these Junkalitous tablets, and they are making me more wizzy aroundy than regular everyday. I woke at 6am and been up since. I did some editing and got bored, and then a little sleepy again so i went to sleep but couldn't. but i was hungry so that led up to this toastie event happening now. I've had have of it and to be honest i'm not really feeling it.

Ok i finished it now, and want some more at the same time as not. Jeepers if I'm unbearable regular everyday when people ask me what I'm on, god help the world when i actually am on something!

I actually think that i shouldnt do anything today considering that i was all a bit moody on Saturday and Sunday and should just watch telly. I should just not think. Watch some Jeremy kyle, but not get too into it to the point it mushes my brains off. I should get this demo for the SRA done though... It's high on my list.

I had some tablity things before to help my throat get better before. I didn't blog about it because it happened in 2009 and not much really was mentioned that year. Probably cause it was shit... I wont dwell, but i suppose I'll update you with this long delayed posty bit... Below are some FB status updates from then

I also put "Hates Jazz" because i thought it would be funny for Johnny to hate Jazz and "Ahh! Weird boy in the studio"... a weird boy came in the studio that day and i had to ask him to leave. His mum told him to come in apperently. It was like a stray cat, but it was a boy. A stray boy.

Anyway this update was brought to you by the sun, shining down brightly most of the day!

Junkalitus, Spicy Food, Sleepynesss

Time goes so fast don't it? It feels like this morning went in an hour... could be cause im tired. I could forget today even existed until i carved it up in to little bits and remembered "oh yeah... i did that".

So lets go to jonk's carvery:

A slice of morning shows that i woke up and caved around until my dad showed up. He came all the way from German place, to sleep and then just have a few hours around.

A chop of lunch time meat shows that I was in a pub like off life on mars. The glue pot looks like its not been touched since the 70s.

And this sliver from the afternoon shows me coming back on the train to cheltenham.

So its with this point the carvery is finished. I didn't say it was big.

I got some tablets today... i should have started takin them on friday. I'm not gona say what for but lets just say its for Junkalitous - It doesn't exist... but i'm sure the story of these tablets will be something i mention. I suppose a little story that keeps cropping up.

And finally i had some spicy dinner from the chinese place, it was pretty nice. I decided to not have Spicy stuff because it made me feel sick. I think its OK every so often.

I had this weird sleep last night which included a weird dream to do with an in joke. It was called "The great british countdown" and it was all about the best bits of britain. It included Jelmer and i visiting a high street in the town of UPTOWN (i dont know if this was real) and there were celebritys talking about it, where they started singing a song about it and then the last place on the highstreet was the electrical and television centre where they not only sold washing machines, fridges and other white goods, but also had this huge video and dvd rental place with loads of film stuff including batman posters that had "Uptown" written on them from all the batman films and the place was even famous in hollywood. Jelmer and i were walking around amazed and just generally thinking it was silly. Then they showed this video of Buzz from Home Alone saying hello to Uptown.

I'm gona write things once i get some sleep. I'm pretty tired. Night!!

this post is worth double gold coins

.todays blogsworth of fun is two days of posts because i fell asleep before i could do it.

Friday
i had a doctor appointment, then trondled myself into uni to mess about with the kit and did some mixing on my kit. i need to get better at it.

i got a text from my sister,she had her baby which was good. its weird because the way people get a few days before babys come its like they have an age wait.

jelmer and i are looking for good bits for our demo to the student radio association. this continued til 10 pm then went home. i think i didnt sleep til 1am, and jess texted me at 2am or something. i didnt wake up. I slept a bit rubbish.

Saturday
i sware i was talking to myself in my head while sleeping cause i was all groggy like someone kept you up all night like they wudnt shut the fuck up, hehe.

My nose hurted, so i looked in the mirror and my face didnt shock me any more than a normal day so i left it alone.

i got ready to go out, and then i did, because thats what happens. whoo. jumped on the train and met mar. sorry these posts are pretty general arnt they - regular every day life.

so... went so see my sister, who is currently swamped with baby hungry friends but i managed to get a hold of the baby. conversation went onto a dead woman called fanny... so i said she was now named fanny holder. i nearly killled my mum as she climed up the steep hill when i said that.

id been on planet urrrgh for most of the day so went bak to mars and just been here since. went online and wrote this. i cud have seen my dad but im gona see him tomorrow before he goes. im just still on flaff mood.

so what will tomorrow bring? well tomorrows post will reveal. my question to you...

Should i do sumfin interesting or daft to spice this blog up?

one more thing to wrap up the day

today could have been the moment i found a golden ticket. i went to tescos get some bits and bobs and on the way back after crossing the road i found some scratch cards. nobody was around so i picked it up. i got back, scratched it and lost. but when i found it i thought... what if this one of those fate left this for me things and the charlie and the chocolate factory ive got a golden ticket moment and it won like 20k. but it wasnt. so it was a luck fuck. lucky i found the tickets but they were loosers so life didnt change at all.

im going back tomorrow at some point. ooh and i baught some audio books the other day. hitchhikets guide tothe galaxy series 4, some shakespear thing, george orwells 1984 and one called "how to change ur life in 7 steps". i never listened to those things so thought id give it a try.  it had some good points to it but it was pretty obvious though. i found it funny in a haha way cause it said what i already knew but kinda put an explination behind it i guess.

anyway i should go to sleep for tonorrow. i shud be in a regular mood by then i think :-D niiight

oh, one of those

last nite i forgot to charge my phone so got a txt from tom saying "happy birthday mary shingles" and then got on with cleaning up stuff in castle bobskull. but while doing that my leg started hurting and its still hurty. tom said it sounds like a strain or sumfin. other than that not much has happened today. just tired which is why iv not gone back yet.

im in one of those moods where i just want company. ive not really been in a funny mood last few days, probs because of my stress.  i think theres been a couple of times. i think i get annoying when i panic or nervous.

like when im waiting in court. i remember last time i was singing songs and this time i was saying so many stuff that was inappropriate. i wonder why my friends put up with that sometimes. i dont feel like ive had time for the stress to go away. kinda why another reason i didnt travel today bk to cheltenham. anyway thats not gona change till i do sumfin about it and im probs better off without

on a happy note, i have icecream. yum.

everybody's dappy nowadays

i thought the take on this buzzcocks title just came to my head. its nothing to do with the post tho. so why no post earlier? well i dont recall going to bed for starters.

i'm in yorkshire and after a rubbish fathers day i went out for a drink with tom and some food. monday was a good day. i get to see ruby more now and bring her down later in the year.

tuesday i got to spend some time with ruby and tom, and then in the evening we had some mahol. hayley popped round and gave us a bit of vodka.... extra strong and it was nice.. however with the extra strong cider too along with the emergency cider i think the vodka sent me to the moon by that time. hayley went and we watched the telly 4 a bit longer and apperently i said i was not having any more and then carried on.
it must have been at this point i updated my facebook status to "remember dont do it" which i hav no idea what i was on about, and i vaguely ranted about sumfin with my eyes closed. thats about it really. i shall update todays goings ons. its not really been exciting but yeah. thats the update

downer or what

ok very quick cause i need to get bk to trying to sleep. im laying in bed all stressy do im having a fun time and the best thing is i cant tell u why. so uhh... yeah. anyway it resulted in drinking cider, walking around and eating chicken. whoo. anyway i shall be leaving more mystical messages in the morning. niiight

adult please

just showed up at castlebobskull where i enjoyed an egg sandwich and chilling ready for bed. i was at the pub for a small time with hayley to say hey and have a chat which cheered me up a bit.

but now im chilling and its quiet i just need an adult to tell me things will b ok and who i can talk crap stuff with to bring me to happy. the stuff in the last post is still on my mind because of the "decision" and still rubbish about the doctor not listening to me because shes a nob.

i think its that moment in life that crops up every so often where it all tries to get on top of me. i feel silly cause i kno im not strong enough to do it alone.

in good news... i hopefully will b having a good day tomorrow, funtimes :-). its time for bed. im sure i shall have something to blog
byeeeeee!

no happy bunny

im on the train and something is on my mind. without going into it too much someones attitude towards me has got to me. i've been thinkin about something since the last few weeks thats kind of become more of an issue and with this all in mind its just grown. and its caused me to make a decision i didnt want to make, and even if my mind is changed i know my inside ive made the decision and i can putthe face om even tho im truly not happy i'd do it for a friend. im good at putting on a face. a face that was on today and a face that hasnt come off since last friday at wychwood. if i can still be a clown when my life colapsed in 2009 then i sure as hell can now. anyway im gona try and forget about it rite now. i just went past a sack of sand

Tie that make me look cool, or tie that gets attention?

Ok so I am in Yorkshire tomorrow, but before that i'm doing an open day at Uni. Hopefully there will be a reasonable volume of people showing up to the open day and i guess i may end up doing loads of different bits and bobs. Today went cool. I went into uni to do some jingle making and getting some practice in to do some cool stuff. I've set the computer up now so i have a bunch of instant carts so i can throw some silly sound effects in and hitting them to the beat of the song and just mainly being radio like. I'm looking forward to my day tomorrow. The only thing im not looking forward to is that my nipples show through my t-shirt... so i thought WI know what will fix that" and i put my ambassador jumper on... which still shows them. So i might just say before i start i might say sorry. I was thinking about playing a trick on potential students, which i know for sure wouldnt go down well. I can do this thing with my voice where it sounds like my vocal chords are broken if i breath in and talk at the same time. Jelmer and i was talking about that i could do that because it sounds like one of those people who use a buzzy thing to speak. It will be interesting to find out what dreams I have tonight.

baby with no nose

i just woke up from a dream where someone from uni had a baby but it had no nose or thumbs. it looked like the annoying orange. he tried to play with it and the 6 month old said "don't". i had a baby on my lap which must hav been about 3 that tried to re assure the other one tapping it on the shoulder saying "its alright mate".

and i also had a dream that someone made a youtube video about self chipping their cat with an sd card.

Edwina Garrison, why are you shaped like a chocolate shared

I think I met one of Fat Albert's children today. Edwina Garrison was slowly creeping her little black leggys along the floor on the hunt for a resting purch. I'm not a fan of handling spiders with my bare hands, so i reached for the most recent container which happened to be an ice cream container.

However there was a bit of melty icecream inside it and Edwina curled up into a ball like she was a chocolate shard and i thought ooh... id better wash her out. I dont think spiders like icecream and i heard somewhere that spiders have pockets of air or something so they can survive water. I didnt want her pockets going all gloopy so washed her down the drain.

I wonder how spiders clean themselves. Do they do it like cats? Lick all eight legs with their spider tongue.

Anyway on to today seeing as i'll get this done by after 12. Well I went to this parent class today where they show you that you shouldn't let the conflict with your ex happen infront of the children and how they feel. I've been there so i'd never do that. but the woman made us watch a video.

You know you have been in education too long when the person asks "what did you think of that video" and you have to stop yourself saying "How come the little girl was waiting for her bed time story in the day light and the other girl was getting ready for school?, the acting was bad and one of the girls who spoke looked like she was possessed by the devil".

There was some other funny stuff i noticed but i shouldnt mention it. Although it was pretty funny. Basicly we all agreed a "What happens in vegas stays in vegas" policy. Im not sure if that part should have been kept in vegas... but it does make you wonder what we got up to in that room doesnt it? It may have been nothing to do with being parents. pahahaha!

This morning i woke up feeling all kind of like i had a not so great dream in the night. I cant remember what it was now so its not so bad.

Other events of the day was my not so secret plan, which i'll not mention just in case nobody actually knows. I think i might hang around uni again tomorrow and do some jingles, maybe i should just get up late and do nothing. Oh the possibilities are wonderful. I could make like a leaf and get out of here. Robin said one the other day which i thought was so funny but i cant remember it... if i remember it i'll put it at the end.

That's a point actually, the podcast is late. I think i should put that up tomorrow, at least on mixcloud.

Right... time to finish up and then get some sleeps!

p.s... it was something like make like a tree and fuck off... or something like that :P

Tiny Sized update

So thought i'd better say hello before bed. I've had a pretty cool day i guess. I say i didnt do much... this normally means i did shit loads but can't be bothered to write it all. Been at uni all day. I just go there sometimes because theres not much else to do.

One thing that's starting to pester me again is the lack of girlfriend. As one of my previous posts show, I'm not looking for most local girl to my current position, but i guess I'm missing some female companionship. Other than that i'm rather happy. At least i dont have to consider anyone else, although sometimes i think i like that.

Right... I have some stupid course to go to tomorrow so i'd better get some sleep. Night yoo!

Going to bed

So todays been a pretty quiet day. i had a weird situation last night though. I stupidly put it on Facebook cause i was so spooked out and needed some sort of comforting company. I also texted someone. I was genuinely upset.

I woke up after about an hour of sleeping because i was dreaming of ice cream, and then all of a sudden it was interrupted by the feeling of being layed on top of being squeezed like something was about to happen that i did not want, and then i felt this feeling into my side like i was being stabbed. I hate being alone, especially when that happens. After a bit of a weird emotional thing and my good friend picking me up i managed to sleep again. I had another weird dream - my facebook status says it all:

"After my spook out this morning i had some more dreams, the one i remember being a gig where all the acts were comedy tribute acts... the main being pocock and gumble - two chubby teenagers with blonde hair and gray tops on. there was also a jealous couple doin their act on stage which ended in them arguing, and this other act where one guy made jokes ignoring the other. the other made jokes about the 1st guy. the act was took off by the croud cos they wanted autographs." 


So yeah. Stuff like that spooks me out, if it wasnt for the conversation i had i think id have felt crap for the day. Everything is all cool, and im happy now though. Off to get some more sleep :)

Brick Walls and 2000 Trees

So I was having a look at what was next as far as feativals we#ll be covering. The final one is 2000 Trees which is in July. I thought i would check out the acts, so far i only know:

Futureheads
Guillemots
Hundred Reasons
Pulled apart by Horses

I feel like i should be doing more at the festivals, especially the last one. I've done alot of radio stuff and its been mainly on a management level for community projects. But i want to, and i think i need to do other things to get where i want to but it feels like theres a brick wall in the way.

Check this out for revealing - I personally find interviewing people uncomfortable which is why i particularly don't like doing it. I get interviewing celebrities or people who want publicity because they want to be interviewed, but the general public - although I am OK when i do vox-pops i really don't like it and I've become sick of it. All my enthusiasm for it is just drained. I'm not a chirpy person when it comes to meeting strangers. If i act myself think i would freak them out and i find this prospect something that I've grown to fear. And being myself is easier said than done because i can't just switch on. i need to be comfortable. Put me in a studio with a stranger, at home or wherever and I'm fine.

Interviews in general - I'm not great in social situations anyway. Im not a total fail with it, i just go blank and im not so great at explaining things. To be myself around someone i feel like i need to feel at home with them, or if i am in a comfort zone and feel as it is mine, i am OK.

My other worry about interviewing is that when i have to read something. I have no problems in reading other than sometimes i go a bit slow (The most annoying thing is when someone starts reading for me... I KNOW WHAT IT FUCKING SAYS... ITS JUST NOT COMING OUT MY MOUTH! Its so frustrating!), but when i read things i don't always remember what i just read. So if i'm reading things from paper and go slow then i feel like an idiot and i panic, it's all just gets harder to remember things and i#ll look totally inept to the interviewee. I've recently found that to be down to the Dyslexia. I've just gotten away with it in the past because i've only read small paragraphs or edited it all to sound like one take. It's why im so good at editing.

The thing is if i want to get anywhere i'm going to have to get past this. It doesnt help when people arrange an interview, i get something wrong so im designated to the studio which has happened at places ive been at before. I want to go out and do stuff. I want to help out more but its frustrating.

Anyway this turned into a "Grr Blog". i suppose its nearly time for bed.

On an unrelated random thought... wouldnt it be so great to have a comedy group called Canary Dwarf (Slightly inspired by Canary Swing, a band from yesterday).

Night

Spider webs

I went into the kitchen and i discovered Fat Albert has webbed all over it. Thanks!

I think i may have pulled my stomach muscles with all that dancing the other night. They feel like ive been beaten up and kicked in. I managed to survive yesterday without collapsing and as long as i don't cough i wont flop over in a heap of flaff.

I think there are ants in the kitchen. I caught one crawling up my legs maybe looking for some sugar. I was wearing shorts. You're not getting your anty hands on my lollypop, Twat.



Mary Jane smiles at meep antics. This is good.

Well... there you go then matey

Today was the last day of the festival so our broadcast finished about 2 hours ago.

Today has been a rocker. I woke up and got stung by some little fucking twat in my shoe. To be fair i was in it's territory (In a field in Cheltenham). I squashed it mainly because it scared me and insects don't usually bite me and it was spooky. I think i woke up with shock this morning too. I was cold, not just normal cold, i mean sick cold. Really horrible shaky so i put my coat on, I still kind of feel cold in a way. its like im a bit shivery inside.

I had a bit of a rest and then helped Robin bring the tent down. We blitzed that one. I was ace at getting the tent in the bag. Boom. 

We went to the studio for Robin to do his show but i was feeling really rubbish about lots of things. I think i needed some alone time anyway (I do this sometimes) and probably could do with some sleep. All my internals were achy after tearing it up at the headphones disco last night. I didn't stop dancing at all. So with the tiredness and feeling ill i had lots of things in my brain that needed extinguishing, like the songs i couldn't get out my head, being worried about silly things and needed lots of water, some lunch. the plan was to recover and come back later for the show. On the way back i felt really weak. I think i was going to spew the world out, or crawl home like i was missing in a desert. 

I got "home" and put a film on that i was going to fall asleep to but it was so interesting i stayed up. It was about Joe Meek and i got too into it, which resulted in some weird dreams including riding on busses and a manager who had offered me cakes as a trademark screwjob trait. This wasnt good sleeping material so have i got news for you was popped on.

When i re-woke i finished Have i got news for you and then made my way back to the festival. not much happened after that. Pete Harper (From bands Danny and the bachelors and Thrill Collins) repeated my name a number of times again (Which im pretty sure has something to do with the X-factor) and interviewed the rest of them.

I then went to the final show of Wychwood 87.7 FM where it was Dan VS Alex. 

I was thinking about sticking around for the headphone disco but i was feeling a bit ill. I went back and walked. back. So now im just laying on the bed. it hurts to move, but i should eat something and sleep. If i could discribe today in weather form - dry but cloudy with patches of rain which clear up near the end of the day.

Im feeling a bit down though at the moment. I'm not sure why, its not to do with the radio ending. But its probably because i want sleep. I'm sure ill be better in the morning. im all cold again now, so im gona wrap myself in everything. Night yo!

R.o.b.i.n.s p.i.s.s.e.d.o.f.f

so just got bk from the headphone disco and were talking about worms. the can shall not be opened. but its obvious robin is not a happy chappy.hopefully after the stress of the tent being brought down he will b ok. this swiftly moved on from talking to him about worms and cans to talking to my self then not at talking all because i wasnt listening to myself. on the plus side i saw the girl who lost her phone that i found - Racheal. and another who was dancing around with me (jo) who said she enjoyed my dancing hehe. any negative comments that may have been mentioned by anyone else were like water off a ducks back because i had a good time. i kinda was a bit down today but i had a sleep and woke up energetic. i was havning a down moment.
anyway i am gona try n sleep and try and be more bareable to my friend in the morning. just remember... its christmas. (it is cause the dj played 2 xmas songs. proof!)

wychwood. iphone funtimes yay!

ok so today has been pretty cool. i got up late and shud hav been at wychwood about 1 but got there at 2 ish as i was finding beds to use for the show. i got to the festival and met robin where we (mostly him) put the tent up. this was rather complicated because the wind was a fucking prick. after an hour and a half we completed the build and walked into town. we got back to camp and on the way to see punk innovators 'the dammed' which robin loved, i saw a big bubble and some muppet hats whick are fucking amazing. anyway we saw the dammed however my sensitive hearing became a problem and after moving once already i was feeling a bit crap so after. i needed an adult to confide in because i was feeling a bit down... but i dunno why.
i went to the radio studio to regain my hearing and spoke to sam and knocked around the studio til robin showed up. we saw some comedy and was the joined by jelmer.
we decided to call it a day but check out the headphone disco on the way back. we thought it seemed cool but didnt go in. i needed a piss so went to the toilet. jelmer asked if there was a light in there and said it was daft. i pondered over this thought while pissing and i saw a light - someones iphone!
it was ringing so answered it (someone called sarahi think) and said id found the phone. i met the person whos phone it was and she offered me a drink. robin at this point had just got out the bog and was un aware what happened and all of a sudden him and jelmer was being whisked off for a drink. (we saw tone station manager robbie at this point who said something but cant remember) and i managed to plug our show :p.  the girl whos phone it was took us into the headphone disco and got me robin and jelmer a drink. she was rly nice :-).
so we had the one and jelmer had to go. our show is at 10am so we were all gona go. but robin and i was havin fun with the music. i got a cider and carried on. then we had more drink and danced more till slowly we broke out into full on dancing. we saw te girl again and had a chat about it was adictive and carried on dancing. it got to 1.30 when we decided it was time to go... and danced about to house of pains jump around just as we left. the tent was still standing when we got back so got in.
what will happen tomorrow? hmmmm
