fluey

wowee, Tuesday already, been another very emotional and action packed week in the life of rose and her companions.

Saw Blur on Friday, can't really go into it as i haven't digested it fully yet. Let's just say there's one of my life aims ticked off. The crowd were such a shower of bastards that it is incredible! That gig sold out in 2 minutes, WHY did they get tickets??? they didn't actually want to be there!! The amount of people who were too pissed to stand up was pretty incredible. Fucking idiots. We were fantasising that we had been allowed o stand at the gate and quiz people on Blur, only letting in the true fans! It's very frustrating when you've waited 15 years to see a band and you can't see the stage because there's a girl standing in front of you with her friend just posing for photos like a model, and a gaggle of absolute CRETINS next to you (who are so pissed that you genuinely fear for your safety) shouting "GIIWWLS AND BOYYSS DAMO! DO GIWWLSS AND BOYYAAS YOUUU FAAAKINN CAAANTT". There's only one solution for these people: firing squad.

Had a proper sunny London Saturday, went to the Natural History museum, bit depressing, absolutely nothing had been updated at all! Everything said: 'It is predicted that by the year 2000 carbon emissions will be...' and stuff, it was all completely 1980's.... went for a Turkish meal, after a drink in the Faltering Fallback in Fins Park, stuffed ourselves sick then decided to go bowling... i came....SECOND!!! it's never happened, I've only ever come last or second from last, so that was immensely excellent, seems that being inflated with food and booze is excellent for my game. just as i suspected...

on to the T-Bird for more booze and juke box, then back to the flat for prosecco to celebrate chloe getting an internship at the campaign against the arms trade (Brill) and also had a mouse vigil as chlo and lal are becoming increasingly shocked at the confidence of the mice who live in the flat, they now hang upside down and use the wire from the fridge to shimmy up onto the counters... something which sounds very amusing to those who don't live there (ie. me and simon) but which they are clearly not at all amused by... so we decided to coax them out by sitting in silence, it was,however, after all the booze, impossible.

woke up with a hangover, decided to get out of the house so me chlo and simon went for a troll up Seven Sister's Road which was the usual excitement of things going on. Settled on a whisk around Peacock's and the 99p store, and a crepe at the Croissant d'Or, excellent work all round.

Me and rowey got the train back to Cambs and had a quick dinner with mum and dad then drove back to Wakey.

Woke up yesterday pretty convinced that I had Swiners, now that everyone i know has a swine contact, it's a waiting game, plus I'm not totally sure that I would survive it... my lungs are SHIT which seems to be the worst thing you can have with it...normal flu is very dangerous to those with weak lungs so i guess swiners is even worse...I've got a build up of flu jabs from over the years, maybe that'll help?!(it won't)

anyway, felt AWFUL yesterday, really really achy and weak and shit, slept almost all day, don't feel great today, like I have a barrel of snot instead of a head and neck...still riddled with guilt over my inactivity on the illustration front... :( it's hard to get stuck in at the moment as i am so all over the place settling in/having no money and also going away on and off all summer, I'll be away from next Mon until the 1st Aug doing various activities...

anyway, I'm off to enjoy 'the mayor of casterbridge' acquired from the LoveFilm free trial!

I may be going slightly mad, not sure at the moment.
