New Year
Man, am I tired! As much fun as I had, EJ, I am soooo glad to be home! No more cricked neck from sleeping on futon ... and to be able to eat fruit again ;) Nah. I had a fab time. (Why is it whenever I go away, at least one poster has to fall down? It's such an annoying chore for when you get home!)
Anyway. New Year. Went to Manchester and saw Ra-chelle and King Kong. It was nice to have female company and nice to see Ra-chelle after all this time. Miss that lady and wish I could see her more often. (To explain: met Ra-chelle in Canada, a fellow exchangee (although 1st term only) from Keele, now in France on a study yr for her degree.)
Some pictures: Manchester Wheel and Printworks (where the cinema is - a really cool building). That's what I love about Manchester, such an awesome mix of really old buildings, new ones and weird ones.
Then to EJ's. Crate-hauled for two hours at her work (a liquor store), then waited for her to return. When she did (at 11pm) we started drinking in earnest. Beer, lager/cider, cheap sparking wine, more beer and then Bailey's to finish it all off. We passed out about 5.30am - all in all, a quite random night!
Drunk!:
New Year's day was evil. We had drunkenly convinced Joo to come over to Warrington for the day the night before, so she text me at 10.30am. Erica was dead on the couch (picture 1 and picture 2) and I had to somehow function to reply to the message. Horribly hungover and tired, we managed to direct Joo here and then we had food. Erica went to work at 3pm, Joo and I watched part of the 50 greatest movie videos. Guess which one won? Thriller, as usual. When Joo left, I died on the couch, EJ came back from work and we spent the rest of the day dying. Then we got a curry. mmmm hangovers ...
Stupid me thought it would be a good idea to push EJ into sorting her flat out. It turned into a much bigger job that I could have ever realised! After getting back at 5pm, we went to sleep at 2am and still weren't quite finished! But EJ's flat looks SO much better now! She can actually get into her bedroom now, and most of her clothes are actually off the floor. First time in 14 months! (see her room and her flat)
I also made my first roast dinner from scratch in-between sorting stuff. I am so proud! Pictures:
Now I am back home again. Life's gonna get boring real quickly, but I don't mind. :D
