Normal People Things

Aside from all the medication, I've recently been doing more normal things like going out for drinks with Emily and going to a Spring Break themed house party hosted by two of the guys I know.

On Friday, with Emily, after squeeing over her baby turtles for a few hours, I went to Tokyo (a cocktail bar in Newcastle, not the capital of Japan) and in the space of three hours we managed to spend £120 of her fiancé's money. She matched me drink for drink (most of which were £7 or £7.50) and then, the next day, was violently ill. I was hungover but, all in all, fine. In the course of the night, one girl and her friend told me I looked 'a bit too booby' and 'awful' which I (and my 36DDs) found very amusing. She insinuated that I was a slut - while dressed like one herself. Personally, I had no make-up on, was wearing a red, thigh-length jumper with a shallow v-neck, galaxy print leggings (not BlackMilk unfortunately) and red converse type shoes. She had a black and white geometric print dress that barely covered her arse and (small) chest and had a shovel full of make-up on. Clearly it was my naked skin that offended her. When I mentioned this to the barman, he offered to spit in her drink.
Later on, another girl asked one of the girls serving on the bar if Tokyo was in China. This resulted in me having a long and arduous conversation enlightening her to the placement of Tokyo in Japan and that, no, Japan is not in China either.
When I got home, Matt was amused at how incredibly mashed I was and later complained that it was 'an absolute mission' to get me to drink an Alka-Seltzer before bed. He was convinced I was going to throw up but I didn't even though I felt like it later when I was at work...
If you ever go to Tokyo, get the Eggs Benedictine and the Tokyo Zombie - they're both absolutely incredible.

On Saturday, after the theatre (Cinderella on Ice with the Russian Ice Stars), I headed over to Andy and Andrew's for their Spring Break party. They even had an inflatable palm tree in the front room! It was an amazing night. I took it pretty easy, after drinking all night the night before and being busy all day Saturday, I really couldn't be bothered. Still with limbo competitions and dance offs, everybody had lots of drunken fun. I'm definitely looking forward to the summer one during which there'll be a BBQ and they'll actually be using the inflatable palm tree for it's true purpose - a giant ice bucket and drinks holder!!!

As for today, I spent the first half writing and the rest doing house work. Now that Matt's heading to Tae Kwon Do, I'm going to do some flexibility training and yoga before making something nice and healthy for tea.

Happy One Year Anniversary!!

Happy new year too!
So today officially marks 366 days since Matt and I started going out. It's a fairly momentous day for both of us since it's my first 'proper' relationships as in, longer than a few days or a fortnight - that sort of thing - and it's his longest relationship generally. Saying that, he broke up with his last girlfriend a fortnight before their first year so I must admit, I've been a touch worried of late!
We spent last night with a load of mates, hosting a party to see in the new year. It was wild, everyone got wasted and generally had a great time. This morning, Matt woke up with one of the most amazing hangovers I've ever seen. I plied him with water and alka seltzer and hugs until he felt sort of better at which point I provided him with a couple of slices of toast while he was one the phone to his mate from down south and I ate real food (cheese, spinach and macaroni soup from Sainsbury's which took freaking ages to defrost and toast, for dipping) in the living room.
Post-food, we watched District 9 and now we're about to watch Inception while we wait for EPIC Domino's pizza to be delivered. We did have several actual plans but the hangover, lack of public transport and laziness put a stop to all of that!

Anyway, the film's starting now so I'll maybe write more later...
