Here you go guys, another lift from an e-mail, but to be fair I would have written basically the same thing anyway.
Dunno if everyone’s heard my birthday story yet, and despite it being over a week ago , here I go.
Woke up, opened cards, opened door, found a few cards at the foot of my door, which is nice, so I ended up with like 13 cards about half of which were from the house. The day itself was pretty uneventful, cos Thursday is my day off from uni, so thats when I type up my notes and catch up on reading, at least thats what I always intend to do.
Anyway, went over to the JCR for my mail, got a couple of cards and a present from Neil, which was a cool Sony USB pen, which sounds really boring, and technically it is, but its what I asked him for and it was what I got, and I can use it to download videos (music) and mp3’s at uni, so I can still be cool Bone who knows about bands no one else does.
Later that day I went for dinner, at 5:30 which I’m still not used to, as I left I saw Duncan, an affable chap who most of the people in our house don’t like and blame me for bringing him there, despite that fact he mostly hangs about in my room listening to CD’s and eating cake. So I finished chatting to him and walked over to the house, looked at the door and holy crap! They’d put balloons on the door and a banner and a little sign saying ‘Andy’s Birthday Balloon Bonanza’ so I took out my phone to take a picture, but unfortunately I dropped my phone and now it has a few little scratches in it. So I open the door, and it looks mighty dark inside so I open the interior door, the lights come on, there’s balloons everywhere and people jump out shouting surprise. So amazing cool of them to do all this for me, and they got me a beer hat, y’know one of those things where you put 2 cans in and then you drink them through a straw, but it didn’t quite work out because I ended up drinking 2 Stella’s worth of foam, ewwww.
So I get changed to go out (cos I gotta wear a shirt if I’m gonna look ‘fly’ for the ladies), and when I walk out of my room its dark again and they had got me a cake, with candles and everything!! so like 25 of us went out (hell yes I’m fairly popular) so we took up like most of the top half of the bus, which was cool, so we get to the courthouse (pub we frequent regularly in the middle of town)……… scene missing…….. so we get home, and Laura and Satvinder looked after me, and random people just entered and exited my room for the next few hours, as I drank several pints (of water) and sat up talking to Paz till about 5ish, good times.
I think I’ve written more than enough to bore the hell out of you all. This week itself has been pretty boring, except I saw 3 bands on wednesday, Imogen, the next autumn sound track (no capital letters there, it is emo you know), and a cool band called My Awesome Compilation, who were Leicester native but have toured the UK and America, so I thought there’d be a huge crowd, but there was only like 50-70 people and everyone seemed to know them except for us, and I’m going to see 4ft Fingers tonight, even though I don’t have any of their albums this will be the 3rd time I’ve seen them. I went to see Finding Nemo on Friday night aswell, its not that bad to be fair.
Peace to ma homes (I saw that on TV once)
Bone.
