So, my birthday drinkies started off quite odd, the Vibe Bar on Brick Lane - it's a cool enough place, but with too many 'try-hards'. I don't think that I've seen so many uncool people trying to be cool in one place before!
But then Abby and Courtney turned up and we had a few drinkies (and I started on the Whisky and Lemonade - a sure sign that I'm up for a fun evening!). We got bored went outside, did South Park voices, got bored, needed food...met Damaris outside the bar and walked up to get bagels from the 24hr place near the top of Brick Lane...the best in the world. We then all wandered up to Plastic People for Our Disco. The door was shut (it's now 10.40pm and it's meant to open at 10pm!). Went to another bar for a while, came back and they let us in...but we were the first there. The first round for all 4 of us cost £12 - at which point a couple of us thought that we may as well take some class As instead of buggering around with that sort of money! So, starting to get a bit merry, Athol (workmate) and a couple of his friends turn up - they stay for 1/2hr and then leave for some reason...
Mates turn up: Jess, Lornie, Carla, Helen, Chris K and S&M Chris. We proceed to party! Feathercut watching, drug taking (the drinks were at least £3 each, so not much of that), laughing, dancing to cool electro music (The Faint - hurrah!) and literally owning a corner of the club!!!

All lots of fun, Courtney, Jess, Damaris and I then left to join the q for 333 but soon got bored, when on an illegal alcohol run. Got an illegal taxi back to Jess' but most of us had got a little worse for wear. Jess and Lornie had both forgotten their keys so they had to wake Ellie up to let us in. Tried to roll a joint to calm down but with no papers and no baccy it got a little impossible. We chatted for a bit and then Damaris, Courtney and I went to get the 2 night buses home (mind you, it's not far just awkward!). When we got in the Chris' were watching porn (skin head, 18 cert, that S&M Chris got sent by an anon. admirer - that's another story!) and drinking tea. All sat around for a bit chatting and then I went to bed. S&M Chris and Damaris stayed up for a while chatting (although Damaris does insist that Chris hypnotised her and then quizzed her about her life!!!).

Got up quite early, feeling ok and watched Saturday morning telly - y'know, I'll happily admit that although I've been a fag hag since birth I have never actually knowingly fancied a homosexual until, that is, Brian Dowling. I KNOW that it's wrong but he's very funny and attractive...and I must keep telling myself that it is WRONG - goddamn it!

Then I went to pick up my mother, Jan from Ten and Ian's house. We had a big night planned but ended up having Chinese, DVD's and sleeps under comfy covers on the sofa. I also 'amused' her with my Lord of the Rings commentary, which basically runs along the lines of "Jesus Christ, I LOVE Aragorn, he's so sexy, oh my god, I love this bit, look at that, it's scary, oh Aragorn I'll have your sword if Frodo doesn't want it, he's blantly bad, he's Christopher Lee" etc...and then we watched Dogma and I proceed to lust over Alan Rickman, ummm snarling..... Nice evening!

Sunday I moved my stuff to the girls house (where I move in on Wednesday night) Due to traffic jams, the car demanding a rest and a drink, the need to clean my old room, etc. it took almost 8hrs to do 3 car loads! Arrrggghhh, I HATE moving.

Jan then made a lovely dinner, magickly, from an empty cupboard, like only a mum can do and S&M Chris and I welcomed the new housemates in. They seem very, very, sweet - Lotfi and Sara who had brought a bottle of wine and had rolled up within an hour of moving their stuff in - I have a very good feeling about leaving Chris with them (oh, an over-protective mother moment - I am sorry!).
