Packed out Halloween weekend. Sunday 1st November 2009, 11:58 AM
I know ive told a few people that i was off to see X factor this weekend in Wembley, which has been true but we didn't actually get in! Alex and Simon, both from Brighton came down to join us in London. they has some spare tickets which are valid if the VIP members don't show up. We were meant to meet them in London about 5ish but lines were down and bus replacement services took a lot longer than planned. Because of this me and paul were sent to the back of the queue with Alex and Simon 50 yards ahead.
When we got nearer the front they counted 30 people as standby with the cut-off just in front of us, we were told that it wasn't worth us waiting, so we visited Alex and Simon and stood with them. It got to about 6 and as the show started all of us were told we wouldn't get in since a lot of the VIP members had turned up. we was only waiting for an hour, but we felt bad for Alex and Simon since i think they were there best part of 3! we went in search off food and then went off clubbing with Alex till about 4am and headed home in good, but tired spirits.
Today me and Dee booked rock climbing with Paul and Ross and had a fantastic time. I was attached to Ross and Paul attached to Dee, at either end of the rope, and the midst of the rope at the top of the climbing route. I thought for sure if Ross slipped and fell i would for sure be catapulted into space, but surprisingly, i controlled Ross on the way down via a lever release system slowly lowering him down when he reached the top, even though he's a fair amount heavier than me, but a built like a brick!
It was great spending time with Ross but what i can gather, he still loves his ex, but had to break on distance terms. He wants to live somewhere besides the city and from what i can gather he's in that picture, not me. I have to show him what i have to offer, but most of the vibes are getting are mate ones, even in his texts...
Oh and also FINALLY bought my 350D SLR camera and playing about as you can see
Closing the gap in time... Thursday 1st October 2009, 12:19 AM
People ask me what's been going on lately, I havnt been so sure what to say to them. You um and ahh, trying to think of something interesting, some current affairs to talk about, but recently there's not been a lot going on. I've been slowly getting bigger at the gym, and since then, pauls joined too but we've only had one session together. He has different goals to me; mine is to get bigger, defined and more weight whilst Paul is to go for a 10k and back stating "gosh that was a nice jog". Well, his is stamina to clarify.
This eve I went for a drink with Ross, someone I've seen out and about for years but have never got the chance to really sit down and speak to. He's everything I want, need and desire but as cliché as it sounds 'i'm not sure how he feels back'. he's good looking, mature, very ambitious, interesting, cool, laid back, honest, relaistic... There's loads of words, there's also some small things like he rides a [motor]bike, martial arts, gym, so there a few little things we can relate to as well.
Anyway I shoudn't really ramble, but it's been a neat evening, with awkwardly loud bars and comfortably quiet bars, and I've really enjoyed it. I just hope something materialises. Gosh why does this bother me so much? I don't think I can take the suspense of what could or couldn't be. Ross has [realisticly] come close to what I could call a long term partner that I woudlnt find to be mundane and tiresome or immature and irresponsable, what he has in his life is a reflection of who he is and where he has been and if I could add to that equasion, then I hope to only improve his life upon what he already has?
I'd say the best part about Ross is that he's not superficial or pretentious, he is who he is and that's what makes him special. He's rather content in who he is as a person, but always seeking more out of life, to the bone., it's hard to find a hidden gem sometimes....
My 21st Birthday :: The Best and worst time of hawaii! Thursday 29th May 2008, 12:00 AM
I’m on my flight from Hawaii to san Francisco, which will be for about 5 hours, I’ve then got a 3 hour stop off at the airport, then another 10 hours from san Francisco to London Heathrow. It’s been such a great time here, and an experience that I would love to do again, not just because of the island but the people there too. Last night in the bar, I was chatting to people, who called me over to chat, and in my last hours before I went to sleep I pretty much goodbye to the whole bar. A bar tender I kept on seeing quite frequently only by coincidence I gave a hug to since he was incredibly sweet, before leaving the bar, a random person ran over wanting a hug too, so even leaving here’s really sweet too.
Aaron and Craig where travelling round the world and stopped off at Sydney for 6 months to work and live, and invited me to join them in Hawaii, which was coincidently my 21st birthday. I arrived with Aaron stark naked fresh out of the shower, lol! Never enter a hotel room without knocking! What a great way to meet your mate first time in a year! Hehe! We tried so hard to plan trips out of the island, but we either missed the opportunity or we didn’t have the money on us at the time, but even so, chilling on the island and just relaxing is what the islands all about, its carries that vibe, and its hard not to abide to!
Most days consisted of going to the beaches in the day, sunbathing, and then heading to a fancy restaurant and bar, the possibly a club in the evening. Meeting mates and partying with them along the way is pretty much compulsory, and a great way to make a group of party goers. Random people will just come up to you and start chatting, and it’s such a shame people in the UK aren’t more like that.
My dad said the island would be pretty expensive, since some of my holidays have unintentionally been islands; Ibiza, Gran Canaria, and now Hawaii. The Dollar actually gets you quite far, drinks are about $5 and the measures are generous too, maybe a third to a half a glass of alcohol then a splash of a mixer. $5 is about £2.50, and the (gay) club we went to was 5 Dollars to get in too. £2.50 to get into a club? Yes please! A whole night out was generally about $50, so £25 for a nights outs pretty much hard to avoid, and although the clubbing nights aren’t as “hardcore” as the UK, the vibe from the peoples much better, and people don’t rely on drugs to keep their night going.
The beaches are clean and lovely and sandy, the waters cool, and the waves are fun too, especially with a body board. There’s a ledge about 80 meters into the sea, to keep water and sand in for kids, but sitting on there in the day or evening a great way to chill, and just chat, reflect, although watch out for the waves since their pretty strong when they hit that wall, hold on! Good times!
Although the beaches are great, the sea is pretty deceiving; you have 30 meters of sand in the sea then head any further and its coral! Not good for the feet!! My feet are fairly cut and one of our buddies we met managed to get a massive gash on his hand, so when they show you a picture of the Hawaiian sea, you know what the sea has to offer! Oh and PS, there’s nothing dangerous in the sea, well, that’s living.
On out first night out here we decided to do something a bit random and go skinny dipping in the sea and sit on the ledge that I mentioned. Was pretty fun and was quite amusing, only to find when we got back to the beach half of out belongings had been stolen! Thank go that nothing valuable was taken, I only lost my best pair of shorts, and my UK door keys with a memory stick on, so nothing irreplaceable. Aaron lost his Shirt and Craig lost his phone. My underwear was stolen, although they didn’t take Aarons, which was quite amusing. I took Aarons jeans, my top and managed to get them both clothes from the hotel, and then back to the beach again. I wouldn’t have known what to do if Id had my passport, cards, stolen?! Not a good way to start a holiday but I’m not going to blame that on the country.
My birthday out there was pretty good, and I did get quite a few comments on my age when the drinking age out there is 21, and the ID is required out there like clothes are. You dare forget your passport ID, your not getting in anywhere. In the UK I’ve forgot my ID quite a few times when out in the UK and managed to get away with it. Seeing a 30 year old (approximately) getting ID his checked for cigarettes, Legal age of 18 in the US, well that was something I wasn’t expecting. I think if you look under 30 you can get ID’d for cigarettes, and for alcohol its 40 years of age! I got quite a few comments and I managed to convince a bar manager to let me in the bar half an hour before I turned 21, although it wasn’t the easiest task.
That’s the good times….
We had a bit of a problem out there when Craig was on manhunt.net, which I used to be on, but seems to be a predominantly US dating site. Craig went to meet a guy called John, a US army soldier in a bar and me and Aaron went along for moral support, and wed probably all go out together anyway. Over the course of the night we all went out and had a laugh anyway. Craig and John went back to the hotel while me and Aaron stayed out for a bit longer also to leave Craig and John to it, me and Aaron stayed on the sofa bed. The next morning I was infatuated with John, and preyed that he was going to spend the day with us. I fell out of the sky onto the firm US soil, my gosh he was the most amazing thing I had ever seen, and when he spoke, I couldn’t put into words what I felt. The trouble is how I could get to chat to him and also not be an idiot to Craig. We where going to go to the water park, but being about $100 either way, without entry tickets, left us to chill on the beach and drink . We went for some food in a burger bar and complimented john on his natural necklace, a stone necklace with a real sharks tooth in the centre. I asked where I could get one, he just said it was a cheap necklace you can get at a shop, and it was a few dollars.
I couldn’t let this guy go back to back to hi barracks without letting know how I felt, and he went across the shops and I decided to join him, and with my heart in my throat I managed to squeeze out how I felt about him and that I couldn’t let him go!? If I couldn’t go on a date with him, or go out with him, could I at least be intimate with him? I couldn’t tell Craig since I wasn’t sure how he would react; he’s also quite a strong character, which I guess intimidates me. He also had a heated debate with a guy from the US. When I thought that there was nothing more he could say, he argued his way out of the debate with facts and figures in the blink of an eye.
I spoke to Aaron about how I felt and John also knew, and said that could we spend some time back at the hotel room. John discussed it with Craig, said that he couldn’t control what John does. We all headed back and Aaron went in the hotel swimming pool, leaving me Craig and John in the room. Me and John chilled on the balcony and managed to get a phenomenal kiss that he enjoyed just as much as I did. Craig asked if me and John wanted to join his downstairs with Aaron, I said we’d be down in about 20 minutes.
That’s when things turned ugly.
Crag walked into the room as john walked out and sat me down on the bed penalising me for not asking him directly to spend time with john. He met him first but that doesn’t give him right over what john wanted to do. What made it worse is that John couldn’t have a say since it wasn’t his place to, coming into someone’s hotel and arguing, yeah that wouldn’t have gone down well, he didn’t come across as a guy to shout and holler. I reasoned with Craig and asked him directly if I could spend time with John, I even told him that I was intimidated by him, reasoning why I found it hard to talk to him. We established that it was wrong what I did, and I said that it wasn’t suitable for me to do anything with John, and got over the matter. At this point I managed to realise that it wasn’t ideal, and told John the same.
Aaron was trying his hardest to get me out of the room so Craig and John could have some time together. I didn’t think John would be available after we left so I wanted to say goodbye to him, and I thought that it was in Craig’s interest to send John on his way after they had fun. After convincing Aaron literally 20 times that I want 20 seconds with John to say bye, I gave him a hug and a kiss, he put his arms around the back of his head, took off his necklace, and put his arms around my neck, put the necklace around me and said “happy 21st birthday, you have $70 around your neck and its real too”. I wanted to cry, it was the most perfect moment of my life by far, and knowing that this wasn’t going to last long made it such a sweet and sour mix of feelings, I couldn’t have been happier at this point.
Me and Aaron went to this beach and after having a heated discussion about what I had done, I told him that I’ve already had this conversation, and Craig couldn’t control what John does and that I was over the matter.
Then the games started…
We went back to the Hotel; John got out of the shower and got changed. Craig and Arron went out the hotel room leaving me and John alone. What was he doing? Why is he leaving me and John in the room, we discussed that I’m cant spend time with John and this and it’s inappropriate! John was on the balcony as I said to Craig:
“where you going?! Why are you leaving me and John alone?!!!”
Craig winked and said “its fine, I was drunk earlier”
”I’m really suspicious now?!” I said and put my arms out for a hug, since he where leaving me and john alone, which was really sweet. He waived away the hug with a smile on his face and left the room with Aaron.
I turned to John on the balcony and said “what’s going on, I realised my actions where inappropriate and said I couldn’t do this”. John said they spoke about the situation whilst me and Aaron where gone and agreed that it was fine. I now have both Craig and John saying its fine to do something that I wanted to do so badly, and being intimate with a guy I had fallen for in less than the drop of a hat. The only part I had telling me not to go along with this is the memory of drunken Craig talking to me.
I even asked John, what are we doing? “Just chilling, that’s it?” He replied “Just have a few beers and chill”. So we sat on the couch and in his deep, smooth voice asked “would it be ok to kiss you now?”. I melted instantly when I kissed his soft tender lips for the second time, alone with him, just me and him, No one else. I held the back of his neck and moved my hands to his face; it was perfect, Sensual and firm, Passionate but not sloppy. It was incerdibly amazing, and something so sweet, since I had been waiting for this moment so long. I didnt want this time to end.
He liked me so much too and it where a shame that he where leaving that night, since we would of loved to spend more time together. I felt so bad especially when he had made me so happy; I wanted to give him something back. It occurred to me that he had given me his necklace, so why not give him mine? I did the same that he did to me, and put the chain round his neck, which looked incredibly hot. We spent our last hour on the balcony taking photos, and chilling some more, then it where time to make a move. I saw him off outside a bar as he went to be picked up. He mentioned that if I’m ever in Hawaii again he would love to have me round at his place and stay for a week or so, on a less feasible scale he’d love to take me on his travels and said he’d have enough money to fly me around, as tempting as that sounds, I don’t think I could have someone pay for me.
Later on that evening I went to the local gay bar and chilled out there for an hour where I met some navy men, and we all went out then headed to the bar where Craig and Aaron where at. I greeted them as I usually do, and when I chatted to them they didn’t seem very interested, so I left them to it, and chilled with the navy crew which mentioned they where all married, and some random people. We eventually went to the club next door, and more into the night I just came out for a bit of fresh air, not feeling right.
Everything caved in…
I went down one alley and sat down for two moments, and before I knew it, I was in tears, the pain was so immense, I felt like I was going to throw up, my stomach, my chest, it hurt so bad I couldn’t help but lean over and hold myself in. I couldn’t take the pain and was devastated. On top of that I already knew Craig had returned to his previous drunken self putting him back in the stage of having a go at me for what I had done, might I add innocently.
I came over to him and cried “why don’t you like me Craig, what have I done wrong?!” Absolutely hysterical, pain, I don’t think I’ve ever cried this hard, I just couldn’t bare it. Not only was I missing John incredibly, i felt i had been left with someone who doesnt even like me anymore. I had already got the hint from craig that he was pissed with me, after constantly disregarding my efforts to chat. Craig replied “you know what you have done” and the conversation went from there, and it was a long one. I cried out “no not again, why are you doing this?!” as he pointed at me, and made me feel the worst I have ever done. He pointed and he stated that I should have done what I did with John. “You said it was ok!” I reasoned with him, and in fact he was testing me, to see if I’d do it or not. I couldn’t cry any more and started to realise what he had done. He tricked me into thinking everything where ok, even though it wasn’t, I started to get angry and in an emotional rage pointed at him and told him everything he had done. It was only it this point the police came over and asked me what was the problem. We even had 3 army soldiers come over, but didn’t talk to us when the police had sorted it out.
“Just get me away from these people” I cried, “please” I couldn’t have explained all of this to the officer, as I said “I just need a hug”, the police said “I don’t give hugs” the nearest person I could find was Aaron, and I clung to him. I went back upstairs and the navy man could see I was distressed and offered me to stay with him in his room, strictly to stay only, nothing else. I said I needed somewhere to stay for 2 nights since I where leaving the next morning. He said that was fine. We ended up splitting the bill for another night since he could then use the room to keep his bags in when he left at 6pm, avoiding checkout at 11am.
In the end I got a good nights rest and stayed one last night in the hotel by myself, after the navy guy left. I went to the bar, where I had a game of pool and two soft drinks, since I weren’t in the mood for drinking, said goodbye to half the bar and the friendly bartender as I mentioned above, than made a move to bed.
So that’s it, I had the best time of my life and the worst pain I have ever felt through emotional distress. Every time I grasp the sharks tooth on my necklace, my heart misses a beat. I just want to see John again, and I would go to pretty great lengths to see him again. If he’s ever in the UK, that’s a bonus, but if I’m in the US with the money, that’s even better. He travels a lot so I may see him, but for the next year and half he’ll be in his new home in Hawaii, which I do plan to visit. Even if I could work out there for 6 months then I probably would. Since some chances you just have to take.
I have officially left my heart in Hawaii, and it will bring me back again. But as soon as I’ve paid off this trip, and saved enough, I’m off again, mark my words. What the US has taught me is that you can’t spend your life just doing the same thing, you should travel more, meet new people and put yourself out for the things you really love and care for. It could turn out for the better, or worse, but who knows, until you have actually tried it. Id ideally like to go back within the next few months, I just hope I can get enough money to fund it.
Brighton and Beyond.... Sunday 27th April 2008, 12:00 AM
Im spending the sunday in just chilling at home, after getting home fairly late this morning after going to brighton with Tristan, Simon, Paul and Ryan. I didnt drink a lot yesterday but wasnt feeling too hot all evening. I dont know if it was the overwhelming fact i hadnt been out in so long and looking forward to this event for quite a bit of time! I only spent a tenner so well chuffed with that!
We was originally going to meet Tristans two mates but they fell ill leaving us with the option to go to Brighton, Tristans home town, so we headed off a tad late due to Tristan and Simon falling asleep!honestly, you just cant get the people these days?!
We went to the first bar and was very happy to see my decks being used, I just the unregrettable feeling of jumping on and taking over, even more so when they started playing the songs I have! Moving on to the second bar, we had a bit of a dance and more redbull for me, I didnt feel in the mood to drink for some reason. We headed to the club and had a bit of a boogie there, the couples where having a nice time together so i went outside for a bit on the beach for some reflection time and to text Max. I as told the aircon wasnt working that night, so it was pretty hot, I couldnt help but leave the club a few times to get some air....
People in Brighton tend to be a lot more friendlier, which is quite refreshing, lots of smiles and overall a good feeling. People in London tend to be a lot more muscled though, and Im assuming steriod use is a lot higher.... I think ive just answered my own question....
By the end if the evening, I was burning up and felt petty sick, and the journey home wasnt the most pleasant, but felt better by the time I got home. We encountered a bit of car trouble on the way home, but the car just need a bit of water, thats all.
Overall the night was quite good , I just wish i felt a tad better
This'll be the best time of your life Thursday 10th April 2008, 1:17 AM
...that was what the busker sang happily as I was kidnapped and taken away.....
I should probably start from the beginning, shouldn’t I?
I spent the day with Paul Thetford, my high school mate, and his girlfriend since he was up from Southampton, and we decided it meet for a day together in London.
After seeing them off, I met Mr Max for a meal out and we made our way to Meza, Wardour Street, Soho. We wasn’t as hungry as we anticipated so we spent a lot of time talking about our past, this gave me an insight to what he had experienced, and I could understand him a lot more, what he was looking for, and what type of guy he’s about. I had a lot of trouble looking into his slightly, shy, gleaming, innocent eyes, which max says he is far from. I wouldn’t deny he has faults but there couldn’t be many things he could say to throw me off, although everyone has faults, to assume someone is perfect seems a little naive.
We got a cocktail to start with, which were incredible, not too sweet, not too sharp, and not dosed with tons of alcohol, which we sipped whilst chatting away. We moved on to café Nero for a drink as I asked Max what he was like with public affection, the only reason why I asked this, is that there seems to be such a stigma about it, Previous people have hated it, Tristan’s fine with it, and Paul and Ryan seem to be somewhere in the middle. He said that if we where in Old Compton Street then that’s a fine place to do it, which seems very fair, you don’t know who’s about the streets these days.
He said to me he wanted to kidnap me, and take me to his. Well, I couldn’t say no. We went back to his area and the moment we where out of public sight, before we even reached the front door he pulled me back as kissed me, which was really sweet of him. It was a shame since he assumed I was going to stay the night. But I didn’t have my work clothes on me, meaning that I had to leave his warm reassuring arms.
Today was a great dinner date for me, and from what I can gather Max seemed to enjoy it too, I’m really bad at reading the signs and Max doesn’t help by not giving out any! But I think it’s all about being intuitive, Things really seem to be going well and we seem to be really content and comfortable in each other arms. I’m quite confident that this could be something lasting…..
New Year, New Priorities Friday 4th January 2008, 12:00 AM
As im writing this know its going to be a challenge..
This year my new years resolutions are going to be:
▫ Get fit (with paul, we agreed on it)
▫ Earn More money, either a pay rise a work, or a new job
▫ Get out more...
The last one is a bit more than it looks, Ok i love my place and everything ive done for it, but i need to travel round this country, and go on holiday in other place with mates too, we are all gonig to organise the holiday this year together, probably me, paul and Ryan, Will hopefully go to somewhere nice, worthy, and hot.
Im going out this evening with paul and amy, and i think Ryans coming too, but im soo broke! i have just enough money to pay off my decks and that kinda leaves me with les money that i kinda have? ah well, see how we go.
Brads birthday was a nice time but it was such a hard crowd to entertain! You have 4 Groups:
▫ The Gays
▫ The Girls (almost the same type of group)
▫ The Straight Guys
▫ and Brad
one of those groups are really hard to entertain, which makes the party go in different stages where you have all the girls dancing and the guys sitting down, Then the gays are dancing, When you get a request from drunky mc mouthy, oh and also grabby! She needed a sleeping pill or 5 minutes in the cold.
Otherwise the night was a good night and the brads where really appreciative, mind you they generally, genuinely are!
My new years was ok, at a mates party with lots of drink and flowing food throughout the night, overall it was a great night, i just wish i had someone to kiss throughout the new year, I really hate standing on your own when 10 other couples are snogging around you!
I dont dispute them doing it i just wish i had a man to do it with, i would of been lying if said it didnt bother later on in the evening
Mind you there was a furious strangling/argument at the end of the night.
Finally! Done! Farewell.... Thursday 13th September 2007, 12:00 AM
Well ive done it all, Ive done my room and i am very happy with it, the walls look so nice im having a bit of an issue wondering where to put the shelves
Another thing, dont worry, the blog isnt closing but Dan is gone! No more, nothing, nada, I rid of my old room, and i get rid of attached belongings with it
The 'I Love You' Teddies,

Well thats it, Come round, Pop round, Nock on my Door and we'll Drink!
BBQ, Party, Ipod grr..... we are now open for business! Sunday 10th June 2007, 12:00 AM
Finally! DerekHyams.com is now open! All the comments that you said, all the blogs i posted and all the YOURsay posts are all there too! its taken me a hell of a time to convert them all from text files to MYSQL! yes its all done! everything i do now is all in MYSQL.
Theres everyone saying: See it wasnt that bad was it?
You know it was harder that they made it more complex than it was, but saying that its so much more managable and i can do so much more with it too!
My party was BBQ was great by the way, it got off to late start picking everyone up (Thanks Chris) but in the end it was Me, Paul, Ryan, Tom, Amy, Chris, Jessica, Pauls Mate, and Boyd. Boyd is a guy that Chris met and was a nice fun guy, and i think they had a nice night too, they seemed to enjoy themselves .
The BBQ wasnt really the focus with all the drink that was at the party and i think that ryan and jessica deserve the award for the drinking contest over the course of the evening hehe . Was a great night, started about 9 but finished at 5am, thats when the last people went home then, after getting everyone inside then chilling out there and watching some silly YouTube clips, and some where good i do admit.
The next day i met up with Zak, and we went to GAY, KU and Village, after polishing off 4 pitchers in GAY, one bottle in each of the other bars we decided to call it a day. I then saw leon and his mate at GAY and chatted to him for a bit. i then started chatting to this guy in sports clothing and as we started to chat he turned out to be a really different guy, talking about Greenday and being a right rocker! hehe.
ps i cant chat to guys if im sober, i just dont have the confidence there! theres your one secret about me!
Im actuall a little dissapointed with kelly clarksons new album, she was bridging the perfect gap between pop and rock, but listening to it, beig a hugs kelly clarkson fan, im a little dissapointed, there was no song on the album that really stood out, and i hate to say this bit id rather listen to Corbin Bleu. I dont think craig will like me too much being a big fan of her too. I may burn him a copy .
I have now got no ipod, my poor thing plays but no sound comes out of it, i have also blown my sounds card in my pc, and the worst part is that is in the motherboard, no its not seperate. grr. I think i may have done it when i plugged my speakers into my pc then my ipod and a surge of electricity has fused it out. grr my lovely ipod has bee with me for about 4 years now and has served me so well. not alot i can do really, guess its going to be a video ipod.
11/6: Just found out it will be £166.29 to get my ipod repaired, well guess thats it for my faithful friend
BIG shouts to Tom and Zak seeing them both recently, mind you tom you live so near now is it really worth it?
Zakk Hey, wow aint bin on this website in ages now... cheers for saturday i had no idea it would end up like that , makes me realise just how bored shitlesss i am at the mo lollll Tuesday 12th June 2007, 1:20 PM
Thomas Dennis Hey... I want a shout out regardless of my living arrangements. Thursday 21st June 2007, 9:50 PM
Christmas Drinking... Em Shopping Sunday 26th November 2006, 12:00 AM
What happens when you can't choose presents for relative and friends for Christmas? Get drunk…
The risk you encounter is that when 1 out of 2 people don't get drunk you just have to keep on going but not when nothing gets done…
We wanted to start proper early about 11 for London but since we where delayed by weather and other issues we ended up getting to London at 2. We started at GAY and since the barmen couldn't distinguish the difference between kronenberg and cranberry with vodka we was in the bar for a maximum of 5 minutes since we downed our first drink there. We was going to move onto village but since that was shut we went to Ku Bar and had another cranberry and vodka, then a purple WKD (2xWKD red and WKD blue mixed) with two cherry shots mixed, then another shot, I had pineapple sourz and Paul had apple sourz. After that I wanted one more drink before we left I had a double Malibu and coke, whilst Paul had a double apple schnapps and coke. We then moved onto BarroomBar in Chinatown where we both had a generous archers and lemonade then onto waxy O'Conner's a bar with a tree in the centre and in some parts low ceilings, great for shot people. I had a baileys and Paul had a house wine he could still taste further on in the night.
By the time we had all done that village was open, and since a shot with a mixer is only £2 we just went a bit mad, £12 of drinks please. 4 cranberry voddies and 2 Malibu and cokes, I had the Malibu 's and 2 C&V's leaving Paul with the rest. We also had testers of 2 drinks too; practically a dribble in a shot glass but wow was very nice. One was like nutty baileys, very nice and the second being in a very distinct shaped bottle, It was a blackcurrant nectar very sweet but well worth a second look at sometime in the future. Oh and also we had one more drink. One Cherry VK and one Apple VK. We stumbled out of village and went into prowler where I chose a nice top and some Aussiebum underwear I wanted, I was going to buy the top but Paul offered to get me both for Christmas, what a sweetheart, so that's me sorted.
Good news I didn't throw up, but me and Paul had to stop for a moment for me to catch some air otherwise it would been a bit messy, but otherwise we was giddy with excitement and to make matters worse I now had to shop where I work… drunk… I didn't plan for that. Here comes the part we didn't expect.
We walked through BHS, the store right next to John Lewis. We stood for a moment when a gentleman comes up to Paul and pointed at the floor only to find a stream of blood dripping from Paul's hand, he had been shot! Sorry I'm only kidding. I'm terrible. He had somehow cut his finger on a fixture or a door or something, at this point we tried to clear it up with what we had on us while a store attendant come back to us saying “he'll be here in 5 minutes”… em 5 minutes? That's a bit long winded for a first aider if I was in that situation I wouldn't say that. A security guard who had no idea whatsoever took us into a staff area while we waited there as I asked for a manager. I made such a stink up about it since no one had no idea what to do, the first aider just gave us the box and said “take what you want” I'm not even a qualified first aider and my store and I was seeing my own friends wound while they all sat back and watched. Useless. At this point I was fuming, they didn't know what to do and I imagine hey had a hard time figuring out what an incident book was. By that time I thought fuck it and just got the first aider in JL. Time had absolutely flew by because by the time we had sorted all that out, went to have a look round my department, and then went to the toy department the lights where being turned off, and the store was closing, I couldn't believe it, I had to grab 3 presents for my nieces in a really short space of time and from then It was a mad hurry. I tried to be a quick as possible in the carphone warehouse getting one more present I just wish service was a bit more speedier. At this point we where getting a little tiresome and had a little bicker because I felt Paul had got no shopping done, and I wanted him to choose a place to eat and felt that he was mad at me because of that. We went to Nandos's (Obviously) and had a massive platter of food and a long chat about things that he was feeling recently and he said some things that really made me feel touched, so much be both was a little teary. Once I knew what was up with him and why he was feeling a little emotional we was able to bring the nights pace up a few strokes and went back to KU bar at this point I had 4 bags and Paul had large package which are the worst to carry, through London really didn't help as I was really on full steam whacking people with bags who failed to use their eyes. We tried so hard to get one last drink out of the night. Paul went to get some cash out while I went into KU and unfortunately got wristbands that gave us 2 for 1 on WKD's since we where unable to use them.
After that mad day we ended up going home, and chilling at mine. Paul stayed at mine since he missed his last bus. And then went to bed. In total we spent around £60 on drinks… ouch
, I just wish i felt a tad better 
But I think it’s all about being intuitive, Things really seem to be going well and we seem to be really content and comfortable in each other arms. I’m quite confident that this could be something lasting…..
there! theres your one secret about me!
What happens when you can't choose presents for relative and friends for Christmas? Get drunk…
