Academialcohollica

Helllooooooo!

So, it seems my dedication to ramble on to nobody faded some over the last 2 months. Enthusiasm waned exponentially. Well, I suppose now that 2 months have passed I'll have plenty to talk about, but to be honest, I don't really remember much of February. I've just been plodding through Uni with the wonderful people there. It took its time but I've finally become comfortable with the environment and the people. I tend to hang around with Louise and Tony (and Lori too, in the common room mostly) and they are excellent peeps. Perhaps next year I'll actually go to some of the CUSCA events...I owe Ceris that much ¬.¬ The cèilidh I missed, the Comedy Night and the Fair Trade Event - I'll make it up to her.

Anyway, some essays have been done and some are being done. Then its a months holiday/reading until exams. WAHEY!

Speaking of holidays, I've just returned on Monday night from a lovely weekend down in Lancaster; more commonly known as the historic city and county town of Lancaster, aye. There I met with these friends - John (from Dublin), Sara (from Finland), Jon (from Wolverhampton) and Mike (from Lancaster) whom we all stayed with. Over the course of the weekend we watched funny TV, went to pubs, walked around town, visited a butterfly house/reptile house/cuddly animals pen and when to see Watchmen at the cinema. If you haven't already seen Watchmen I have this to say to you - SAVE YOUR MONEY. Jebus Christopherson... from all the hype I expected more.

Anyway, Lancaster has some good pubs and some good beer. The one pub we got food in (The Borough) was extra special due to the absolutely amazing leather chairs and the option of Ostrich Burgers, though unfortunately there was none left; Beef it was, then. Each pub had its own special features but me and Jon may be in agreement that pink-haired-girl in this other pub was a highlight. We also saw a fight and some pissy people at Pink-haired-girls pub.

Ahhh! We crashed a dead party late on...Friday(!) night. Mikes next door neighbour was holding a house warming from 7.30pm but we rolled up after 1. The 2 girls seemed happy enough and they were very chatty. The 3 guys though, haha, they were not so happy and I think we were delaying their sexy time. Me and Jon had to leave pretty quickly though because we were eying up one of the women and we think she heard us talking about her... we ran away back to the flat.

Lots more happened but telling it all to you would bore you.

Next week is Metallica time and I'm going up to Glasgow early on the 26th to eat and get some bevvy in before doors at 7pm. I shall be meeting Fraser and I suspect he'll be blagging a lift back doon hame.

Oh, its also my birthday on the 24th so say hello :)
