heralding the return of emma's lj ramblings
this weekend was pretty cool. started it off by going to batfink for the first time in bloody ages. it was alright and i'm glad i went but i'd forgotten how cliquey and unwelcoming it can seem sometimes. found myself in a sea of couples at times, which didn't really help. i need to learn how to smile in photos, or just generally not be so afraid of people taking photos because all the photots i've seen of me from fink so far i've hated. i always seem to pull an odd face as soon as i realise there's a camera around.
work on saturday was actually almost fun. i had the new gwen stefani song in my head all day which made me grin (particularly cos i got to confuse dan by singing about bananas all day). chris was in the kitchen, which made things more amusing. he had to make the sandwiches cos ian was too lazy to get out of bed, and seemed to think that he could throw crusts at me without retaliation only to later find them being stuffed down the back of his chef whites. i'm glad he keeps on doing random shifts even though he quit ages ago, it's nice to have someone that i can muck about with.
saturday night i dragged jamie along to the cricketer's to see wezz and shawn's band. they weren't really anything special, which was a bit disappointing, but they seemed to have a good time. corp afterwards was ace. stocky played some wicked tunes and seems quite happy to talk to me again now. pity it took him 6 months but what can you do? some of jamie's old skating mates came too, which was good - brow's quite funny, he still takes his board along to corp even though it's not had a ramp since the move. it's almost as though he expects one to just appear one week. i also find it quite entertaining that none of them really seem to like dancing (with the exception of jamie), they just stand on the balcony chatting and people watching until someone suggests "going for a wander" (this loosely translates as going and standing next to girls instead of just looking at them). might explain why i'd never seen any of them in corp before until i started going out with jamie. a trip to merdoc's was made on the way home (pineapple and jalepeno pizza is wicked), this involved enduring manky slags singing badly while we waited for foods. oh dear.
jamie played me some beautiful tunes on his guitar yesterday. i suggested that we move to hawaii so he can sit on the beach all day playing his guitar alá jack johnson. i'm so glad jamie took me back; obviously i need to regain a lot of his trust but that's my own fault for being a muppet. most people would realise it's entirely foolish to try and end things with someone who makes you grin like a fool every time you see them.
it was such a beautiful day as i walked from the bus that i proposed a bbq. it was actually hailing when we started but luckily gav and christian were man enought to persevere, and much joy and burnt sausage was had by all.
