Let it be made clear, i dont deal with change very well. Imagine my surprise when i turned up at my parents yesterday to discover an entire new room upstairs and my mum wearing glasses. the universe unravelled itself and only a huge cup of tea could save me.
More comic related action. Steve and i categorized his collection managed to list them all and then bag 'em. three hours we were at this. we listened to the entirety of the new feeder album, 'how tomake friends an influence people' by terrorvision and 'life on other planets' by supergrass while on this mission and they all fitted quite nicely into the night.
Thereason why my parents opted for a new room isthat they cashed in some policy they had. As well as paying for the loft conversion, they handed over £100 each to my brother and i. more money towards using real machinery and not hamsters on wheels for my computer.
what do you think of the new colour scheme?

Soiree (or Mark Edwards is a big fat shit)
I'll take this one chronolgical order.
Last Tuesday was real fun. i paid a visit to my friend steve's house. He presented me with two rather large boxes.
'ooooh!' thought i. i know steve well enough. i reckon i know whats in this box and it aint often that steve is all enthused about showing me a couple of big boxes.
'Huzzah!' my assumption was correct. Steve had brought home his comic collection in its entirety. I dived straight in and spent 2 and 1/2 hours browsing his collection. It did seem a bit rude that i was sat there pretty much in my own world, but i did uncover quite a few gems. The most valuable (so far) has been Preacher #1. worth £10.50 back in 98. need to do more research nd find the current prices. Steve and i are going to categorize and price up this collection. then we'll start on mine.
Might sound geeky to some, i care not, comics are a fantastic medium for storytelling. both narrative and art work can be weaved cleverly into eachother (depends on the a
artist/writer), and its not always spandex clad meta-humans struggling for truth , justice, freedom, yada yada yada.
that night was also amusing because of the fact i found some old work books from Year 10 at school. covered largely in school work, there were also quite a few amusing comments from my class mates. my favourite bing the one in the title of this entry.
works night out happened last thursday. it was quite odd at first, socialising with those i try quite hard to keep from permeating my real life. A few cocktails in bar ambika managed to get rid of that. it got interesting after that.
steve told louise he liked her sex wise, she did not reciprocate.
Louise was showing too much interest in my house mate paul for his comfort.
Michelle (the MILF) being loads plastered.
Paul shouting at liam (office gay) that he was gay, just to embarrass me.
Night club kicked us out, me and paul went home and took a pill. never again.
Saturday came. The day of Andy's Party. A rather lovely affair all in all.
Andy, Nicole and Ben, all playing host in their own unique manner, provided entertainment, food, drink and dancing all to a high level of fun.
i took paul with me, he seemed to behave himself quite well. My gang seem to have accepted him into the fold. he seemed to be showing some intrest in the ladeeez, not surprising. one of em was katie.
Karl and Tree made it to the party as well. i got video footage of Karl busting a few moves and tree made it a mission to neatly ravel up some string.
Sadie also made an appearance:-) We had fun. not necessarily harmless, the part were she had me in a strangle hold left me wondering. i'll just put it down to drunken exuberance.
i drank way too much wine and suffered the next day. I went and ate at Maccy D's. a rather lazy sunday, but a nice full stop to my week.

ho hum...
If im to be totally honest, im probably best off doing it here.
Its the Claire thing again.
i feel im making the effort with her right now, because i feel i have to. not because i carry any great sense of comrdre or unity with her, just because its gotta look like its mended after what she did to me for those 2 months.
Other than that, she has burnt her bridges.
dont get me wrong i do consider her a close friend and i do so adore here, but this friend is, quite frankly, odd.
She doesnt know what she wants, and in not knowing, she is (and has done a number of times) breaking hearts. its what she does best.
normally i could let this go, but it turns out that after asking if she was fine with the whole man situ, she in turn went to ask one of her potential suitors WHY i was asking. i was showing concern, nothing more. if she wants to question that very simple concept, i feel i should withdraw my voice from any proceedings. its like asking superman why he wants to save the world
What i know about this girl has always been more than she thinks i know (i've been best friends with two of her Ex-boyfriends). in this understanding, it is my opinion she has managed to put a lot of friends in the position where we could help her, but we dont want to and cant be arsed (all for differing reasons). she has put us in this position herself, she uses those who can help her and all the meaning is lost.
she freely admits that she uses other people, but im not sure she has assessed the long term affects of her actions Others say she has nobody that will say no to her. this is certainly true, to the point where nobody will say to her what i've just written. she needs a wake up call.
if she really does require any support from her friend, she knows where am but she's gotta face a whole bunch o demons before im going to want to help.

party time, excellent!
im left feeling quite drained both physically and mentally.
39 may street (ie my housemates and i) decided to throw a party last friday. lots of planning went in to this party as far as decor and music was concerned. we were anxious as to the calibre of guest that may arrive, as paul had invited some friends to come after the drum and bass night at the welly. our fears came to nothing and the whole thing ran quite smoothly.
the party was a good thing personally because of the presence of a lot of friends i dont see often, and all in the same place. instead of whinging like im known to do im gonna big up some of those i've neglected
Rich, bless him, he came to the party his friend simon, with the intention of staying briefly. Certain drugs were administered and that soon changed. he didnt have the best time but he asked me to stick by him, no way was i going to leave one of my best friends on a bad come up. despite that im glad he came and that he eventually got into a party mood.
Katie also came to the party. i so do adore that girl. she has always had time to listen to me, has always been nice to me and we've always had a laugh together. its not surpising half of my house mates have the hots for her. she is modest in her intelligence and looks. (she does bear a resembelence to elizabth mongomerty from bewithced) She's one of those rare lasses who has it all.
Sadie arrived. Sadie, is katie's older sister. i've mentioned her once before on this journal. Sadie is....well, Sadie is something else :-)
Andy Steele was at my party. i like andy. although on reading this he will qeustion its sincerity, it is nice to have andy around. ok he aint as much of a looker as the murphy girls :-P, but he certainly has a wit and intellect that is a welcome respite at the end of the working week.
To top all this Mark and Karl arrived. Mark my bezzie mate of years completed the circle started by the Murphy's and Andy. i love Mark. we should have decoder rings and gang membership cards. Karl works on the same wavelength as andy (clever, witty, picks on me)
and is just as much a brother to me as i feel mark to be.
5 big reasons why my party was ace, right there for you.
Claire came to the party and for the first time in a while, i didnt need from her the physical affirmation that is often sought when on pills. The party did end a bit sour for her. she has stuff to think about. im with you chief
i was disappointed that some quests resigned themselves to one room and didnt take in the party to its fullest.
those who did, however, probably feel like i do now. lots of varieties of drugs were available. to much for some but i'll get to that soon. suffice to say the party lasted til about 9:00 AM and all the drum and bass crowd had lots of fun.
Paul. He's a funny man. he took all the drugs that were available. My lord what a mess he was in the morning.
In his mind he was blacking out. only rob and i could see what his behaviour was like in his black outs. the googly eyes certainly made it all the more hilarious. the mans short term memory was completely fried. twas indeed a giggle.
saturday i slept thorugh. arose at about 5 PM. watched all of the rugby, which is rare for me. tried watching tomb raider but ende up heading for my room at 11PM. saturday just did not happen.
last night was the first nip/tuck night. from 8 til 1. we watched nothin but TV drama. this is par for the course for the next six months.
Alas, my camera packed up and therefore i could not gather photographic evidence of any of this. you'll just have to believe me.
