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.
