What a weekend!
Finally starting to recover from the weekend due to overdrinking and lack of sleep.
Was really, really nervous on the build up to the weekend. Especially waiting down at the train station for Jennifer to arrive, but surprisingly settled in really well once she was here.
We spent the first night just having a few (read lots) of drinks in the flat. It was great fun and helped calm my nerves somewhat. At one point we just sat watching out the window and random (other) drunkards pissing all over the street and even some guys being manhandled by the police! A little later things got somewhat strange as Jennifer started to half dream whilst still talking and started spouting random questions and sentances... At that stage we thought it best to call it a night and I settled down on the floor. Not a particularly comfortable floor, I might add.
Whoever said that sleeping on the floor is good for you lied. I was so sore the next day. Spent a bit of time showing Jennifer around the basics of Dundee, before going for a shop at Tesco so she could cook some dinner for me at some stage over the weekend. I'm such a lousy cook! Later we had a good few more drinks and some fun with some friends over the webcam before heading out to Cage. Was hoping a few more people I knew would turn up, but it was a good laugh anyways. I think Jennifer wasn't too sure about the place at first because of how small it is, but after about half an hour she was loving it and telling me how she wanted to bring all her friends up from Ayr to see it.
Back home I'm normally a lot more retiring and shy than I am in Dundee, and I was determined not to let Jennifer's presence change that; so that she could see what I'm really like. Sure enough, it wasn't long before I was up dancing (read making fool of self) and I think it was somewhat to her amazement. Nearer towards the end of the night, what I had tried so hard to believe wouldn't happen did, and we ended up kissing. Later... well I didn't sleep on the floor that night, though things didn't go *too* far. I think we were quite scared that this would cause things to be really awkward between us.
Next day Jennifer was sick most of the morning into the afternoon - possibly too much drink from about a run of four nights? Strangely, the night before seemed almost surreal and we found that almost nothing had changed between us. We thought that maybe it would be a good idea to lay off the drink this night and spent most of the day lazing about, watching a bit of tv, and rented a dvd for the evening. I spent the night on the floor as a safety precaution.
Next day, despite an... interesting start to the day where we had a few things to talk over and think about, was a pretty lazy day too. Showed her a couple of the shops round the Forum centre that I'd forgotten about, left the dvd back and pretty much let her pack for leaving that evening. It was really quite sad to see her go, though we were soon talking in txts again.
So how did things turn out? Well, I think maybe now we've become something that's slightly more than 'just friends', but stops short of being a 'relationship'. How things go with this we'll just have to see, but as she's coming up again 5 November, and I'm going down to see her the 19th, I'm sure we'll have plenty of time to find out.
*phew* That was a lot to go over, and there's still things to think about, but I'll wait for another day to put those up
