a weekend in the life of a social butterfly.

it's been a little while since i last updated but i have been a busy bee.

thursday night catch up with my ex-topshop colleagues was really fun. we played guitar hero (badly) and singstar (not as badly) before skipping on down to lennons for a spot of indie disco and cheap dirty rum (or vodka in my case).

whilst there we witnessed the not so delightful sounds of ou est le swimming pool? i was offended by the casual mixing of languages without a care for proper grammar swiftly followed by their attempts to rap in a white boy styleee. which went on for a heart wrenching 20 minute set. the one amazing thing about them was the guy with who had the most amazing moustache in the world, see below pic. at times like that i wished i was a boy. however, after it was all over, i'd hazard a guess that i wasn't the only person to stop and reflect upon the question- ou est le talent?

sorry if you like them. i did try but i just can't.

when i decided to step out for air later in the evening i soon found out that the talent was definitely not in the band's tour van. i didn't do the groupie thing honestly. well not intentionally. i spoke to their driver because he looked so desperately bored and i felt sorry for him and then the band got on the van and of course it would be rude not to talk to them and then the subject of the band playing at bestival came up and i thought it would be rude not to invite myself along. unfortunately the band declined my kind offer of good company to the festival and after a good stroke of the amazing moustache, i waved as their van drove off into the distance towards the etap hotel near mcdonalds. the glam life of rock and roll.

accompanied by special cameo roles of a couple of individuals from my past and the introduction of new friends... this night was thoroughly ace fun.

friday night was even better. i spent in the company of tori amos. well, four rows away from her. but it was pretty much my dream come true. her outfit, voice and everything was just spectacular and i think i may have fallen even more in love with her if that's at all possible...

i had a fantastic dream that night about the gig but in my dream i met her and shook her hand... silly me.

on saturday i went to essex to see my uni girlfriends, kirsty, kate and jenny, to celebrate kirsty's birthday. we went to reflex and dressed in an 80s theme (as if we were from the 80s instead of 80s neon-tastic dress up if you see what i mean). fabulous time and i took home a video of kate paying homage to dolly parton. something i shall always treasure. here's a little pic of us fully appreciating the weather girls' it's raining men (minus jenny).

lovely.

then it was sunday and i spent the whole day watching back to back michael jackson videos in chronological order whilst tucking into homemade cream tea. pure bliss.

today has mostly been an admin day. phone calls, emails and letters. blah blah blah. it's nice to get back to the blogging too. more to come later this week.
