"I'll tell you the ultimate secret of magic; any cunt could do it."
So. Interesting week for me, all round. I was on holiday near Whitby with my parents for most of it - good in a way, because it meant I basically had most stuff paid for, but bad in the sense that they are extremely good at irritating me. Didn't really find any pubs that I enjoyed - they're fucking frosty to foreigners in the Yorkshire Moors, I'll give them that.
Got some good karma by donating loads to charity on tuesday, apparently, and wound up winning an X-box that night. I have no idea what the fuck I am going to do with it.
Explored a few ruined abbeys during my time there, which was actually pretty cool. I also bought mead near one of said abbeys. It was good stuff. Then I went on a Dracula walk on thursday night; enjoyably lame. Most of the novel is set in Whitby, so there's a hell of a lot of Dracula-themed stuff around, in addition to quite a few Gothic shops. After chatting to a few locals about it, I don't think I'm going to the Gothic Weekend there; all the hotels are pretty much booked for it already. Eh, shame.
Saw a fortune teller on friday. Made me laugh. Apparently I have a brother and sister. Except I don't. Oh well. Other than that she didn't really tell me anything crazy or unexpected from a tacky side street amusement.
Last night was Lain's last night in Derby, and I have a sneaking suspicion that it was mine, too. We shall see.
