10 Days To Go...

Reading is just around the corner now and I'm getting really excited!
Gemma keeps on telling me about how much she's looking forward to seeing 50-Cent live there and how he's a P.I.M.P. or something.

My weekend was a bit more interesting than previous ones, I got a text off Adam on Saturday about going to Andy's barbecue, we met Bobby, Steve and Marcus in Knowle and after a rocket from Steve for being late we tried to find the house where the barbecue was taking place. The house wasn't Andy's house though, in fact, I'm not sure who's house it was but it was a bit bloody posh! The actual barbecue was good, we had some huge burgers which must have contained half a cow in each one, after the burgers, and the Stella, and the complaining about feeling sick we all went down to this sort of park thing and had a kickabout, the grass was knee-high so the ball didn't travel too far unless you kicked it as hard as you possibly could!

In the evening I went to the Sharmans with Gemma and Helen, when we got there they had a Simply Red tribute act on called 'Red Mick' or something like that, he looked a bit like him, but I think that is where the similarities must end, we wanted to get served straight away so we could sit outside away from the noise of Red Mick but I had to wait 45 minutes at the bar before I was served! By the time we got outside he had already finished singing Helen's favourite Simply Red song about the Fairground and had started singing Robbie Williams, we found invitations to somebody called Katie's 18th birthday party but we decided that she looked a bit retarded so we went to the Academy instead.

When we got to the Academy we hadn't even been there 10 minutes before we saw Shitface, but we avoided the puneta for most of the night which was ok, we also some saw weirdos doing this freaky dance to Just by Radiohead who Gemma filmed on her phone. Something I've noticed is that the past few times I've been at the Academy every song I request gets played, on Saturday I requested Pixies, Cannonball by The Breeders and Paint It Black by The Rolling Stones and they all got played almost straight away!

Sunday I slept for most of the day but when I woke up my leg was killing me, I kept thinking it was something to do with the Academy from the night before but I reckon it must have been kicking that ball in the long grass, in the evening I went to the pub quiz at the Red Lion, we came last again but I had a kebab burger afterwards so it was a good night!

Today I've spent most of the day helping my Nan who hasn't been too well just lately, I showed her some of the photos I've taken for my course, but some of the things she says make me laugh, I was showing her my photos from Earlswood:

"where was this taken?"
"Earlswood"
"oh....where was this one taken?"
"that one is Earlswood too"
"what about this one?"
"Earlswood, they're all of Earlswood"
"oh, ok...that doesn't look much like Stratford to me"

I then walked her to the shop, this random old bloke was singing there which I found a bit funny but then again that's Warstock for you I guess, my Nan bought me a Kinder Happy Hippo for helping her, I really was a happy hippo then until I ate it and I became a nauseous hippo!
Just had steak for tea covered in vinegar (ha ha!) Yumm! I should be going out tonight, not sure where yet though but Adam said he'll let me know...I bet he doesn't!
