Token journal post
Hey people, as per usual I haven't been updating. To be honest my social life as a whole has been in low gear for a while, by which I do *not* mean that I've been making good traction against insurmountable odds. ;)
So it seems an appropriate time to reflect upon some of the people who I've lost from my everyday life, mainly because they moved to other cities/countries. To avoid morbid fretting about it I shall present it as a jaunty set of ads to replace roles which are now vacant in my social life. Won't that be fun?? I list most of these as "guys" simply because most of the old people were guys. Gals feel free to apply. ;)
BRUNCH GUY
Must be motiviated to get up in the morning, laid back and above all hungry. Knowledge of good cafes with easy parking would be a plus.
BOOZY LUNCH GUY
This person's main food groups are vodka, gin and beer. If lunch doesn't take an hour and a half, it isn't really lunch. Knowledge of garden bars a plus.
THE DRIVER
Your motto is "be there in an hour". You understand that you are valued to party-goers everywhere, and that you will be reimbursed handsomely in free lunches and drinks at some later point rather than looking pointedly at your passengers every time you pass a service station.
ROAD TRIP BUDDY
You must know how to read a map, be laid back, but not be so laid back that you miss plane connections. Your unerring optimism will hold you in good stead finding accomodation or petrol in even the most unlikeliest places. Oh, plus you know how to have fun. Duh.
GADGET GUY
Somewhere someone has lost a crucial cable or manual, and you know what to do about it. You will not mock them until they cry. Plus you also have cool new games. :D
CONCERT FIEND
You know when all the best shows are on, and where to get the cheapest tickets. You are totally pumped about the concept of your friends dancing/moshing to your favourite band.
RESTAURANT EXPLORER
You heard of a new place and you're dying to try it out. Wine and light-hearted banter will be flowing. You will give people more than an hour's warning beforehand.
MOVIE FREAK
What week is complete without watching a movie or DVD? Hell, what DAY? You like getting a few people together because it's about the shared experience, not a bunch of people watching alone.
