7.5/10
+ had a good night out with work...
+ got paid
+ saw fish tank
+ it's feeling a bit autumnal
- I'm really worried about my sister... wish I could help her be happy
- I feel quite alone in my new place...
- the bathroom is shoddy...
lovely
+ lots of sun, fun, friends, music
+ it's not over yet, as I'm about to go out on another epic sunday outing
- slightly too much sun and fun. I'm a bit sore.
- I have an important meeting tomorrow afternoon which will either a) curtail some of tonight's fun or b) not result in any curtailment of fun but cause nightmarish scenario tomorrow as I try to pull it together
+ meeting is with media luvvie types who will hopefully find my dishevelled state charming/ the norm.
+spent much of Friday night in an intimate way with a very attractive young lady, a stunningly rare thing in my life and not one I was planning on.
That's it, I don't really feel I can add any more to this discussion. Actually,
-my working life is becoming stressful for the first time ever, and I don't think I'm handling it particularly well.
-fucking Everton, official sponsors of my miserable weekends since 1984.
-I moved to a new country a month ago, and the novelty value is rapidly being replaced by loneliness and boredom.
Still, I kissed an actual girl! All in all, I declare this weekend a score draw.
+got out of the house and did stuff
+ went to a roman villa
+ saw moon again and liked it
+ made cake
+ didn't feel bad about not having gone to the Bestival
- haven't really done anything social
- money running out
- getting fat
the fact that your money is running out
means you won't be fat for long. as i'm discovering.
Argh, I wish this was true of me
When I have the money I eat really well on good cuts of meat, fresh fish and seafood, fresh veg etc. I find when I'm totally skinto I live off plasticky processed shit like value processed cheese slices, plain bread and rustlers microwave burgers. I'd be better just spending the cash on amphetamines really.
diet for today:
some grapes, some strawberries, some yoghurt. stupid amounts of tea and water.
I would be STARVING
I would give in to the allure of 20p value bread and 60p value cheese slices. I really would. I would need appetite suppressants to live off that. Seriously, man, are you surviving? (if you're joking, sorry. My irony meter has never worked very well)
i am physically unable to eat gross food!
it just doesn't work :(
It is a talent I have nurtured over the years
mainly because I am a greedy bastard!
student poverty will do wonders for my figure
I'm not going to conform to this + and - thing, I'll just say how its been, because i'm edgy, as you know.
I have had a nice weekend. Didn't go to sleep on Friday night because I was getting the train to London from Manchester at 5:25 in the morning. I arrived, drank a coffee and read the paper, then met my ex for breakfast. I had a full English, it was ok, but a little too salty. Then I met my friend at wandered around roughtrade and marvelled at the haircuts. I saw Andrew WK outside as well. Went back to the house that I was staying at in Finsbury Park, which was amazing, 6 bedrooms, and a wendyhouse with TWO floors in the back garden! I later got a text from Whiterussian inviting me to the Pub, which I did, but there was a big 'to do' with her actually going to the park 'Finsbury Park', when I had clearly said that I'd meet her in Finsbury Park, which isn't actually the park. We walked right into Seven Sisters, found a grubby pub, and crashed the wost 40th birthday ever. Then I went back to the house and watched MoTd whilst laughing hysterically at Arsenal fans reactions. This morning I went to Highgate Cemetery and Hampstead Heath. I rugby tackled my friend and his pants ripped from his knee to his crotch. His girlfriend and I then had to sit for about half an hour waiting for him because he was trying to sew up the gap with a 'sharp piece of grass'. I'm now on the train home. I just went to the toilet and there was like a force field of poo smell in the cabin from the guy before me, its awful.
There's a pub in Seven Sisters?
This is the first time I haven't had a local where I lived :(
yeah, it wasn't so bad either.
what's it called?
You should have come over for a cuppa.
thanks I will do next time.
You too if you're ever in Manchester.

Went and played pictionary and got ruined. Good night placated by a bad hangover on Saturday. Where upon a spent most of the day playing left 4 dead. Today I played fifa10 and bought the beatles game. It's brilliant. I also went to a castle and climbed on a beach. And had ice cream.
