Mel Gibson.

I have to tell you about this weird yet hilarious dream I had last night. Me and my sister were in Cheadle Village because I wanted to buy some of that new Heaven chocolate, so we get to the car park, and my sister (who doesn’t even drive) is driving a red Corsa and we start getting the feeling that someone is watching us. We get out of the car and Ricky from the Kaiser Chiefs appears out of nowhere and starts chasing us saying he’s going to kill us. We get in the car and drive away but he chases us. Then we see Rachel, she gets in and takes us to a hiding place. After a while we think its safe to get out of the car, but lo and behold Ricky reappears so Vikki and Rachel get back in the car but there’s no time for me so they drive off just telling me to ‘run’ (thanks guys) but then I see an empty car to my right, get in and drive off. Ricky chases me on a Vespa but I manage to lose him and get home. So yeah, now I have another reason to hate the Kaiser Chiefs.

On Friday night, I went round to Katy’s. She wouldn’t let me listen to Ryan Adams so every time she left the room I put Gold on. I don’t think she liked it. As a compromise, we put on some Sigur Ros, drank some wine and then went to Overdraught. We drank and danced and then moved onto Satans, and everything gets blurry from this point. I definitely know Jen and Alex were in there, and saw lots of other people I hadn’t seen for ages, but I don’t really remember anything I did or said while I was there. To be truly honest, after the first few drinks in there the next thing I remember is waking up the next morning. All in all, signs of a damn good night.

On Saturday, I went to the opticians. I was hangover free but must have smelt like a brewery. My optician was nice enough not to say anything, though. Anyways, I have bad eyes, and she has suggested now that I wear glasses a lot more regularly, to which I replied ‘I don’t actually wear them at all’ (forgetting that the last time I went I was told to buy some – oops) so I had my hands slapped and then got straight onto the Dior eyewear website! I’m not sure which ones to get yet but it’s all very exciting. The rest of the day was spent watching the Crime and Investigation channel (which might actually be the best channel ever) and sleeping intermittently all day long. Geek? Me?

On Sunday, I did more sleeping and then some room sorting (I move out pretty soon and there’s no way I can take all my junk with me) and followed this with more sleeping. Then at about 6 I went round to Vik and Rachel’s, and we were soon joined by Faye, for some Sunday night drinking. First stop, Orange Grove. I think the DJ thought it was midnight on a Friday because our quiet drink somehow started turning into a rave. We did the very old lady chats (‘You can barely hear yourself think in this place’) and decided to move on to Cheshire for the pub quiz. The second we stepped through the door, we started laughing and didn’t stop. From Vikki’s comment about the fig rolls (which is only funny if you were there, but for us it was hilarious) to Rachel spitting her drink all over the table, to our appalling performance in the quiz (we came joint last) it was just so funny. At question 1 we knew we weren’t going to win, no matter how much we cheated (which we did, lots) so after a while we just started stating the obvious. My personal favourites of the night were:

Q. What is the drummer from the Fratellis known as?
Our answer: The drummer from the Fratellis.

Q. Who played the lead male role in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Our answer: Roger.

Q. What are the 3 parts that make up an insect?
Our answer: Head, body, legs.

We also had a lot of fun in the picture round, where we just described the picture rather than say who it was a picture of (rather than write ‘David Tennant’ we wrote ‘A lady in a long jacket’) and after arguing over Mel Gibson, we came out with a score of 13 out of 50, which we actually saw as quite an achievement. We then went home, watched Nightmare on Elm Street and then everybody called it a night.

Oh, and everybody managed to get Glastonbury tickets! Which is just the most exciting thing ever. Me and Katy already have all our outfits planned.
