Hello children, How are you? I just watched the sun come up. Note to self, you can not see the sun in South Wales, for many reasons;
1: I am in the bottom of a valley, all i see through my window is towering hill sides and 2: Its South Wales, there is a constant cover of clouds, we are lucky if light even gets through.
I have made this mistake before, one new years eve. My friends and i, when we were still at school, went to watch the sun rise on a new year at the most exotic of places, the local canal. We saw nothing more than a couple of rats fawnicating and a couple of rabid chavs en route home. Seeing this, the sun rise didn’t seem all that special.
I have been having trouble sleeping lately, when i say trouble i mean, i haven’t been sleeping, at all. It’s not good right? Not good at all. Strange really, because as soon as the sun does come up and i have morning classes i can’t seem to stay awake. And i, being the crumbler that i am, crumbles and goes to bed and not uni. I’m not complaining, i hate going to classes, i think this open university malarkey would be brill for me, but alas, if i drop out now they will want their student loan back, and well, i have spent it. All. On Junk.
Speaking of which, i had a lovely conversation with a woman from the bank the other day, she wanted to know where all my money had gone, i refrained from saying drugs, i dont think that would have gone down all to well. I know she could tell i was lying, i am not the best liar. You could hear it in my voice, i was stuttering, um-ing and err-ing, confusing my stories and contradicting myself. But she gave me the overdraft. I am not gonna slag off the bank, oh no, i enjoyed the outcome oh so very much, belive me, but really, commmmeee on. If she had listened hard enough she could have heard me tapping up a vein, or using the very same debit card SHE issued me to draw out a line.
In other news … shit, there really isn’t any other news, of importance anyway. I have just been living a quite safe and boring life, sleeping all day, spending time with my beautiful Tor; we went to the cinema yesterday, or the day before… (daylight confuses me at the moment) .. and we saw the Decent 2. Was just me and her in the cinema it was, apart from two other people who walked out half way through, leaving us alone, and shit did this film make me jump. Granted i fell asleep for half of it, but the bits i saw when Tor jabbed me awake were guuuuuud. Tor also took me out for a lovely meal, and it was, as you can imagine, lovely. Until Tor disappeared to the bar and the food turned up and the woman gave me a dodgy look as if to say, “Eating alone, and ordering two meals.. aw, what a pity.” Oh well.
I also had my meeting with the dinosaur expert at the museum, and it went very well. My fears of forgetting dinosaur names was realised, to hightand shame, when i went bright red, answered most of his questions with “I dont know,” and when i screamed when he took me, ‘behind the scenes’ of the museum, to his office and i had a scary moment with a life size model of an ice man in a wooden crate. You can only imagine the terror. You know when people say there is no real panic like the sheer panic you feel when you get your head caught in a jumper whilst trying to get it off, and you feel you may never get out, WELL, there is no panic, like the sheer terror you feel when you turn a corner and walk into a wooden crate to be met by a man with a grin on his face, a spear in his hand and a wooly mammoth ball sack on his head.
Despite all this, i have been granted access to the very expensive artifacts that aren’t on public display, which is lovely. I get to see the shit out back and i get access to closed off areas of displays that only real scientists can get near. Bit scared about this, i have a habit of breaking things due to sever clumsiness, but i guess we will have to see. To be honest, the out look is not great. What is great, is that to get into the displays i can only go on a Monday, as this is the day the museum is closed. Initially i wasnt overly pleased at the thought of this, imagining some sort of Night at the Museum get up, that was until i heard that on Mondays Dr Who is filming in the museum and so, on Mondays i shall be stalking said Dr. Oh yes.
Right, thats that, i must go because i am gonna go to uni today, shocking i know, its only two hours and well, i have alternative motives; i have to pick up my train tickets home for the holidays and my girlfriends house. I leave uni on Thursday for Birmingham, Thursday night we are going to see Josie Long gig in a little pub in Birmingham (ever so excited), Saturday is Hanukkah, and Sunday i get back to Manchester. It’s all going down this weekend. Eeeeeee…..
