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
Happy New Year! Thursday 1st January 2009, 10:52 PM
Evening peeps! I truly hope everyone has had a fantastic christmas, and an enjoyable new year. which is weird considering that was only last night. I realise i take everything to extremeties, but this christmas has been the hardest on me. on two week up to chirstmas i was writing my uni essay on server performace which i had so much trouble undertsanding it.
up to the 23rd work would not let me have any time off since it was obviously Christmas, although they did give me a significant payrise, so am very happy about that. I had to do 70% of all my xmas shopping on the 25th, and unfortunately Paul couldnt come since he had a wedding to prepare for and also family too. When i had done that i went for a nados with chris and when i got home was rushed out the door to go to my sister for christmas day, thats when i started talking to this guy called antony...
Christmas day we had a nice Christmas meal and presents, you know the usual thing. backwards and forward on my laptop talking to this guy called antony still, Its so nice to have a glass of mulled wine (since no-one else likes it) and i ended u falling asleep on the couch after three :P.
I was then taken to my mums that evening where me and antony where progressing past the ice breaking conversations and moving onto some better subject and it seemed that we had both taken a liking for each other...
Boxing day was really nice since i had another meal with turkey and goose, my sis, neices and her husband where round for that too so we had a real nice meal there, which i dont get to have often so was great for me to appreciate, again texting and chatting over phone and net.
I stayed at my mates Dan that evening wwhich was rather amusing since we had to stay in his room since the whole house had no heating, and was freezing, with no hot water either, but i fixed his TV and cabling, but only to find out his repaired home cinema wasnt so repaired.
The next day I arranged to meet this guy called antony at Bank station, which wasnt too far from Dans. I felt pretty good about meeting him, but was dreading he had a camp or high voice, as me and paul say "look like tarzan, sound like jane" . But he didnt, he look stunning, was a tall, good looking, guy...
I met him and we went back to mine since i wanted to invite some mates round for a drink and a laugh. Chris and his new partner Aaron came kieran and paul came round a bit later. We played some card games and overall it was a good night.
The next day Antony popped back to his to freshen up, and i met him that night. It was so nice sleeping in his arms and he has the cutest smile in the world, especailly when he laughs, its so incredibly sweet!
The next morning we lay in bed together doing nothing whatsoever, was great! I can be a really stressed person so hes a great person to say "stop, it doesnt matter!" -not that he literally says that but when im with him i dont really have much to worry about when im with him. By surprise he asked me it we could go out that morning, I was pretty content to say yes that morning, i mean, what did i have to lose?
When we finally got out of bed, we decided to create an event for the New Years Eve. It wasnt a bad turnout as well, the brads where so generous with the bits that they brought, wanted to thank Simon and Phil for the champagne toast, My mum for the snacks and that homemade pizza, blimey that went, i didnt even try it lol! As always i want to thank paul and ryan for making everyone feel welcome, ryan for making people giggle, and paul for the help and karaoke Finally i want to thank my sweetheart Antony for bringing me into the new year with a smile from ear to ear youve really made the end of my 2008 and what a refreshing, happy, warm, loving, sweet introduction to 2009!
My word, what a weekend! From leaving work Friday night to arriving home on Tuesday morning, I'm feeling pretty shattered. Me and Paul left from Victoria about 8, and arriving in Brighton about an hour later. From there we moved on a bar and socialized with the locals. The have a burger bar in Brighton , which I can remember the name of, something grub, good burgers but long queues. We didn't stay for too long since we where up early the next day to see the parade.
Saturday morning it was a bit of a rush getting up and out the door by 10:30. We proceeded to Weatherspoon's to get some breakfast, what you have to realise is the vast amount of people that where there led to extreme waiting times for jut about anything. Whilst having some casual banter over some morning soft drinks, we watched the parade provide some interesting, and some odd looking floats. We where on the first floor in Weatherspoon's so looking down, we could see all the internal workings. I'm assuming you had a better view fro ground level.
As the floats proceeded up the wet street (it was pouring with rain), I had the amusing imagery of 2000 queens, screaming as the fire engines, floats and anything on wheels slid back down the hill, lmao, I'm so cruel! . We ate breakfast and took a shortcut, through some back streets to Tristan's to change then meet the parade in mid flow stopping off for some drink along the way as well.
We met Alex, an amazing guy, who's outfit was a rugby kit, from head to toe, socks to ball, even studded shoes, well, I was enjoying the sight, which was amazing, he's older than me, and spent the day getting to know him, he such a sweet guy, generous and with his kit, had rather a lot of attention. I thought id try something a bit kinkier so I was in leather handcuffs, studded collar an even had a leash. Alex led me about as I held his rugby ball, by my leash which was incredibly hot. I waited with him for his bus at the end o the evening but getting to know him, he's an incredible guy, so relaxed and level headed,
After following the parade, we headed to the main park, where all the rides where, with tents, stalls, food, and a sea of people. Paul and Ryan had to pick up their stuff from Ryan's campsite, Tristan and Simon went their own way, leaving me an Alex alone for quite a bit. Partying in the wild fruit tent was fun, which we spent rather a lot of time doing. We must have swapped about 3 different crowds dancing with us. But overall most people where rather friendly. Alex wanted to go on the slides, which gave us a great view, but I got some friction burn on the way down! Grr!
More drinking, Dancing, and tons of walking later, we met Paul and Ryan then Tristan and Simon. We left the park and moved onto the main part of Brighton town. We had a few more drink in town although it wasn't amazing since the town was absolutely gridlocked, people where pushing, and the bars that where serving drink where rammed full of people so we just had one. Paul and Ryan where shattered, and Tristan and Simon wanted some time alone leaving me and Alex alone together again. We got a drink together and chatted whilst he where propped and poked by members of the public as well as his mates, he was by far one of the hottest in the crowd! I waited with Alex for his bus, he's got a cookie addiction, it's such a shame he's got diabetes, such a lovely guy. I realise he's used to it, and it's a normal life but I just felt sorry for him, every so often checking your levels, counteracting it with a drug if you've had too much sugar, it's just not a nice way to live. We had a nice chat and he's got a lot going for him, starting a new job, and chairman of a certain committee. We had some things in common, including the same type of guys, but not in me, shame.
After an uncomfortable nights sleep in Tristan's car, we stumbled to get some breakfast. Me, Ryan and Paul had to sleep in the cars since Tristan's parents couldn't let us stay another night, so wasn't the most ideal plan, and I didn't feel too good in the morning. We went shopping as I ate whheey too much, full English breakfast, then a paste bake pot, then a smidge of a donut, I don't know where I put it all! I got a nice black and grey hoodie, although I had no money, and Paul also gave me a really nice top with the male logo on that he bought for me in turkey, is a great fit!
We left Brighton Sunday afternoon and headed to London, all pretty much sleeping on the train. Paul seemed to be dozing in and out, Ryan the same, and Simon was out the same as me. We pulled into London Bridge, where I said bye to everyone and headed to Simons (a different Simon) house party. It was a great time and some lovely friends that Simon has, although wasn't too pleased when I got mistaken for ‘help' since the majority of the people where over 30. Simon employed two younger people for the party to dish out food and drink. One of Simon's friends asked me if there were any more cava in the fridge, I firmly replied “yeah, it's in the fridge mate”, only realising what he had done, I almost felt embarrassed for him.
Simon let me DJ in the evening as most of us boogied uncontrollably into the next day. It was great of him to offer to stay the night, and although he did employ help, I helped out some of the night since Simon with about 50 people to entertain isn't easy! Anyway I really want to thank Simon to one of the best house parties I've ever been to. As I came home shattered thinking it where all over, Chris invited me for an evening out, which I hesitated but I'm so easily persuaded! after a night on the town, with some drinks, karaoke, and dancing, we got home at 5am this morning and after spending a day doing absolutely nothing, work doesn't seem such a chore!
What a great weekend! Monday 9th June 2008, 11:00 AM
I just want to say a big thank you for all the people that came to my 21st meal on the Saturday, I thoroughly enjoyed myself and it was great to be with all my mates, and to see so many of my close mates round the table was a great feeling. Ill be honest and say that, without my mates I’m actually nothing. Without true mates, it doesn’t make you a very decent person, and I try to be one of those! The cards were amazing and although we didn’t go clubbing the meal was great, people seemed to hit it off, and Crystals boyfriend Anthony, went to his first gay bar, aww! . Again many thanks to, (in no particular order); Paul and Ryan, Brad and Brad, Tristan and Simon, Crystal and Anthony, Sohail, Vuan, Zak and Claire. I’m awaiting the pictures back from Crystal and Tristan. Tristan was the dedicated photographer, and some good quality shots should be on their way soon, and Thanks ever so much for doing that Tristan, I would recommend a man who wasn’t fit for the job!
In other events, I heard back from John! Then night I was out I actually called him about 4am, but it didn’t go through, but only to find out that he had left a message while I was out saying to call him! Aaarrggghh! He only had one day to chat and I missed it, was a tad annoyed about that! On the other hand, I called his mobile a 6am this morning and I spoke to him, was great to hear his voice, and chat to him. He said he would love for me to come out there for a week, maybe longer, and he’s getting his place this month. This will mean we can chat more online, and I guess we’ll see how we go!
