Oh deary deary me.
Had a pretty nifty weekend. But you know that you've indulged a little bit too much when you do the things that I did.
Went to Katie's on Saturday, which was rather great. It was good to see people who i expected to be there and meet others, coincidentally, that i know from elsewhere, lol.
The party was generally rather good. Tried to go up for John at one point, but unfortunately his muse had prized him elsewhere:P So I walked Jack around the block with Aly and then I went back up to John's house for a bit where we playeed a rather happy game of pool and left not too soon afterwards - thoroughly delighted after the disappointment of not seeing John. Drank a fair amount of drink and randomly lost about 20/30 quid that night. Who knows if I spent it. Me and Dawn were one of the few last survivors and trying to phone a taxi was pretty awful. We suspected that it wouldn't come but on our dismissive departure one arrived. Which was annoying because despite running, I couldn't get to it quick enough.... the taxi driver really didn't wait that long at all and I know this because I can run really quick. Swine.
So Dawn and I walked to Pollokshaws road where we hailed a cab but when I say we hailed a cab.... I thought I had hailed a cab because I so one of those vauxhall cars and i was like - TAXI! give credit to the guy, he stopped and said he'd take us into town. So, unbenknownst to me, I accidentally hitchhiked into town but we gave him a tip of seven pounds. I must admit that I was rather confused when we stopped and he didn't seem to be charging us. So I was like....shit....make up your own prices!? What are taxis coming to these days!
Accidental hitch-hiking - that's a first for me.
The following night, Dawn and I expectant of hangovers dragged our bodies around town eating what we could scrape up in order to lessen the oncoming hangover. The deadly hour of three o'clock struck...and no...still no hangover! So as a celebration we bought loads of pokemon cards - yes, ashamedly to admit, me included! Then Dawn and I had dinner at La Tasca's later on that evening. Excellent cuisine there. And we then headed on to Revolucion, the vodka bar. Grabbed ourselves a pitcher and then paid for that and on asking for another pitcher, I realised that I didn't actually have my bank card. However, the barmaid was lovely and she said that since we were regulars, we could just come in the following day and pay this. Yet I was too embarrassed to cave to such a kindly act so quickly ran to Dawn's house and back again and paid for that and one or two more, lol....and it was a merry merry night:)
While I'm in talking mode..
for those who are truly close, you'll know that I've been calling myself a "bitter, bitter man" recently and the reasons why....I'm intending on making a silly song about it:) should be an adventure
I've got loads of things I want to make songs for....like
A mother and her child sitting at the dinner table. The child can't eat all of his food. He tells the mother,"mother, I can't eat all of my food". His mother replies warm-heartedly "That's okay son, just eat what you can't and leave the rest".
Also, another thing inspired by a game called Civilisation Revolution. I played Ghengis Khan as leader and lead his people to victory and conquest/ world domination...only I did it in a rather cruel way. I wiped out all of the other civilisations bar Ghandi by the year 1000BC. And by this point, my men were building advanced catapults...so when it got to the year 1500AD, i had several tank legions, lol. But, in about the year 750BC, Ghandi on a whim, decided to declare war on my nation (despite having archers as his most advanced trooptype). So I stuck to my guns, literally and fought him out. He forgot, my clan were the type to hold grudges....After then up until the year 2200AD we were never allies again despite monthly/yearly attempts by Ghandi to right his once long-ago blooper. So, Even though at some points we weren't necessarily at war...we weren't the best of friends, lol.
So, when it came to it, I ended up wiping out all of his cities bar his capital...which i saved for a wee while. This was about 1900AD. And for ages and ages I just shipped in and travelled up actually hundreds of legions of tanks to just above his city. However, because we weren't necessarily attacking one another I'd just make excuses.
Ghandi: Why are your men above my city, atop the hills waving their swords aloft as if preparing to charge us.
Ghengis: Oh no, do not be mistaken, my men are only doing this because they love to see the shine of their sword against the sun...the only way to get the true effect is on these hills
Ghandi:....Really, Ghengis?...
with that idea line of thought of ridiculous reasons why armies surround his only city and the doubtful yet acceptant
"Really, Ghengis?"
