Rowan...

Finally met a new friend on Saturday and spent a good ten hours in each others company....The time flew by and it was really nice....After the events of the previous night, it probably wasn't the best idea to drink again, but it helped chill the mood and made it really nice and relaxed....He paid for Chinese when we got hungry and, yea.....it was really nice. He's fun and funny and great to talk to and there was a great connection....on a friend-level....Nothing more, nothing less....

I've noticed a change in myself....I'm more open, accepting and trust my instincts much more now than I ever did....I've become a little more laid-back and self-assured in my decisions and who I allow in my life...And I'm happy with that...So happy...

People like Rowan and Jake from last night...I would have been really shy with and not speak much....But, I've learnt that they will be more accepting the more confident I am...

Does stuff like that come with age? Or experience....??? I'm not sure....But for the first time in ages...I'm happy with that aspect of my life...

I'm not sure where the future lies with Rowan, friend-wise...It's a little difficult to explain....But, in the long-run, I really hope we'll be friends for a long while!!! Plus, we HAVE to go to Chameleon before he goes back to Brighton FOR......EVER!!! Lol.....

Friday Night Drama!!!

So, after not having Thursday Night Dinner for the last two weeks, we all decided to let our hair down Friday Night...Of course, having been paid for the month did swing it largely for us!!! Plus, it was Sarah's workmates (Jake - who is actually the nicest person I've met in a while) last day and so, he had been at the pub since Lunchtime!!!

Anyways, the night was really nice...for the majority of the time...Loads of us were out, and it was just really nice to have a big group of us!!!

But the boys are absolutely frickin' mental when they're really drunk!!! Walking home was a nightmare and left me wanting to take a time out until they calmed down...and Sarah in tears as they caused mayhem all around them. Eventually they calmed down....But, it was just craziness that I'm too too old for!!!

My saviour for the night was actually Jake, who I hadn't met til that night....We're the same age, so it was nice just to have someone to chat to. We went to get Chips as Dave and Sarah had an argument and Shane and Matt wanted to go back into Chameleon!!! Eventually we all made it back to mine....While Shane was attempting Spiderman routines the whole way home!!!

Quote of the night:

" That was ACTUALLY Fuckin' Funny"

- Jake, as Shane was hurled into a bush by Dave, and then couldn't get up!!!

Funniest moment of the night:

"Don't encourage them....DO NOT ENCOURAGE THEM!!!"

- as said by Sarah literally one nano-second before the bush-hurling incident!!! Which, when she turned round and realised what had happened, was - to quote above - Fuckin' Funny!!!!

Whats even funnier is the fact that Sarah had a massive go at him, telling him to get up...and he was asking for help because he stuck....But no one helped!!! Oooppss!!!

No one got any sleep that night....Not really.....Matt decided to sleep in the hallway with his music on!!! Had to confiscate his phone til the morning - But, somewhat naively, Sarah gave it back to him an hour before we all had to get up...And therefore, rest was broken again!!! Plus, I snore!!! Sarah shared my bed....but I was trying so hard for her to sleep before me!!! It wasn't happening!!!
Decidely, it was Jake who got the best sleep...In the Double Blow up Bed and Duvet (Surprising really, as he was the only one who didn't shotgun the bed!!!)....

Oh well.....Looking forward to the next night out!!!
