El Weekendo...
Ok, so I gotta type out all my HUGE post cause LJ is crap and lost it all! ARGHHHHHHH
Right, so where do I start with the weekend?!?! Hmmmmmmmm.
Thursday - managed to pack my bag and head over to the train station about 3ish. Me being the dickhead that I am, I actually thought the train would be about £25 return, oh boy was I wrong - more like £40! Proper bastard! Nice sting in my wallet and it was only Thursday! But I didn’t care, I was about to hook up with the coolest person ever.
Got into London about 6ish and Stu luck would denote that something had to go wrong! I went to get the tube from Kings Cross to meet Danielle but Kings Cross got closed off due to a bomb scare or something! So after much pissing about, getting on wrong tube lines, waiting ages for other trains I finally hooked up with her. We gave each other a huge hug that would really set the tone for the weekend.
Went back to Danielle’s and hung out for a while chatting and chilling out. We went to a pub near Danielles (where I would get my first taste of London drinks prices for the weekend). Hooked up with Danielles friend Jodie for a while and she really was as crazy as she was made out to be (the girl is changing her name by deepol to get off the credit blacklist!! - how amazing is that?!?)
Went on to the Borderline where we hooked up with Steve (ex Murder Of) and his girlfriend Hannah. Was cool, got nicely drunk and listened to Hip Hop and beatdown music.
Friday, woke up earlyish and headed out for our day out. Went to The Lord Of The Rings exhibit at The Science Museum. It was amazing, everyone has to go see this! They had Saurons suit of armour and The Shards Of Narsil!! (yeah, get jealous Si!!!).
My bout of flu decided to make a reappearance though and I started to get really bad earache, at one point I could hardly stand up as the pain was that bad! So after rushing to the Chemists and filling myself full of painkillers and eardrops we made our way over to Tower Bridge to see good old David Blaine! It was really weird and was just like this big public freak show. We both agreed that we found it uncomfortable and didn’t stay too long to point and watch a man in a glass box.
At night we went to some family friends of Danielles who were celebrating a Jewish holiday and we had the most amazing 4 course meal ever. The hospitality of these people was incredible, I mean to allow someone non-Jewish into their home to join their family on a holiday was just amazing. I couldn’t have wished to meet nicer people and felt honoured to be allowed to join in the festivities. We got into the city with the intention of going to an ‘80s night but took one look at the massive line to get in and decided to go home and chill for while. Danielle got a roasting from her Rasta landlord cause we had left the door open! Whoops! I tried hard not to laugh when he said “I don’t need this trouble, man” (in best Jamaican accent) Danielle said it was like being told off by her Dad, which I thought was funny as fuck.
Saturday we had every intention of getting up early and going into Camden but that didn’t happen and we didn’t make it into Camden until about 5ish. Had a look around and went for a quick drink opposite Camden Lock. At night we had an embarrassing encounter in Safeways and then headed out to go to Candybox. Met up with Jodie and Tony (who was pissed as a motherfucker). Had a wicked night and they played some quality tuneage such as The Cure, The Clash and The Rapture. Danielle and I spent a lot of the night trying to outdo each other with naming the songs that came on. I was clearly the winner though! (take that and shove it up your ass Gaylord! ;-). I fell asleep on the bus on the way back and lost one of my buffalo plugs.
Sunday I had to get the train at 1.30. Didn’t really wanna leave at all to be honest and wished I could have stayed longer in the company of such a warm, affectionate and caring person but I had to get my lonesome back home for work.
Not gonna go into too much detail of how we got on but I spent 3 days with someone who I found I could totally be myself with, no hang ups or fronts and have a really good laugh with. Hope I will get to see a lot more of her but Stu luck will probably denote this will not happen. For someone who can put up with all my constant piss takes and general gayness must be quite a catch.
Thank you Danielle x
and Sorry for the long post people
