It's only semi autobiographical
Thursday, December 30, 2004
Due to a combination of factors, I got wasted. Factor one, barman kept giving me drinks ridiculously cheap, double brandy and double baileys for £2.50! Factor two, we were buying drinks in rounds, I was drinking spirits, she was drinking bailieys. It slipped my mind that my drinks were much more alcoholic. Ok, two factors. It was quite a good evening, then I went home. I can not remember exactly how, but it involved buses...

You may not find it, I think it is bloody hard.
Stuff has happened, interesting stuff really, but you know how it is, the computer is never on when you need it, it is hard to type, then when I do get around to it, I have forgotten everything.
Lets see... went to the pub, that was nice. Andy says with my current hair I look like a propper student... hmm. On that front, I may be shaving my hair off again. I had wanted to see how long I could get it, and thought it might look good longer, but to be quite frank, it is like a charity event. A pain really.
I just do not know what to do with longer hair. Gell for example. My attitude to gell is that you pile it on until your hair has no choice but to be the shape that you want it to be. With long hair, apparently, you have to be a little more subtle. So the clippers it is, and I will be back to low maintainance spikes, which I know some people never liked, but sod it. The beard will probably disapear for a bit too, which I know will cause no upset whatsoever. Aside from perhaps Lauren, who seems to be the only person on the planet that actually prefers me with it. Oh, and I think Blaze did too. But I never see her these days anyway.
Scarily, the last time my hair looked like it does now, I was about 9.
New years eve at Andy's this year, should be fun.
Also still campaigning to get as many people in Bath as possible over the next few months, for various reasons including the fact that I miss them, I think they are fun to go out with, I need an excuse to go out (to certain places) and if I get enough people down it might start to piss off my housemates. Always a good reason :-) Joking guys!
I am also planning on writing a code. I have just read The Da Vinci Code and Digital Fortress both by Dan Brown, both Xmas presents, and now want to try my hand at code making and breaking. As making seems easier, it will be my first foray. I already have a code in mind, but I want it to be more than that, a puzzle I guess. Therefore, at some point over the next few days/weeks/months/years/decades, I will produce a code, and a clue. The clue will probably have several stages to it, and the code will also be multi-layered. The difficulty will be making it solvable, I can already think of a code that no normal person would get without being given the key... Hmm I did say I was bored, perhaps I will go find some paper...
Now I'm bored and I'm going all crypto...

Is it just lack of coordination, or the pressure of the fact that if you do in fact wake someone up, they will blame it on your inebriated condition?
Last night I used the "It does not matter how much noise you make, so long as you do it slowly" philosophy.
Which, when you think about it, just makes the noise last longer. Toying with the opposite idea, doing everything as fast as possible, just makes more noise, and makes it sound like you are being burgled.
You just can not win.

There was supposed to be a house party now, but I can not find it, and Sally, she of the big breasts (larger than Jordan's apparently) has not contacted me with where I should be.
On top of all of this, I have to get up at five o'clock tomorrow, for a fencing match, or two, in Aberystwith, or some other backwater Welsh-type place. Now I have never been to Wales, but I have vowed that if I ever do, I will be drunk. It seems that the plan is working so far.
In case you are unable to read the bit about when this was posted, it is 03.20, which means I have less than 2 hours to sleep. I am so not sobering up at all.
In other news, who left the message about shaving my hair off? I would really appreciate it if you would put your name down, or at least a name so I know who is whom.
(OK, I deleted what I did have here because really I had no business putting it here. Sorry.)
Now I'm drunk, and I'm going to fence.

you can either leave a comment or e-mail, the question is, what the hell should I do with my hair? I will try to get a picture up of the current style.
As regular readers will know, my hair was last cut by two drunken girls on a trip to Oxford. The hair cut was not entirely voluntary. At the time, the back of the hair was fine, but the fringe was only half cut. Much like the aforementioned girls. Now, however, the hair has grown, so my left eye is now partially covered. To resolve this so far I have resorted to a Loréal style hair flick or what is unfortunately a quite feminine brush of the hand.
So, ideas please people. I may then choose a selection and have a vote on it. Or ignore it one or the other.
Now I'm tired, and I'm going to lectures.

I should also be in bed.
If you live in Bath, come to out "banging" house party, friday night.
Now I'm tired, and I'm going to bed.

Funny thing, I am missing certain people quite a lot right now, I will refrain from saying who, mainly because I would hate to get all soppy online, and I would run the risk of offending other people. Plus I do not want to go off on a rant.
There is an epic fencing story coming too, which has much drinking and little fencing. It is a good story.
Ah screw it... I think I will rant a little after all.
Some time ago, there was a guy I was mates with, going through a lot of girl trouble at a similar time to me. Whenever he was down, we would go out, I would buy him a drink, or seven, and we would get trashed and forget all about the female of the species. He would do the same for me. Do you know how much he ended up owing me?
One of my female friends had a similar situation, I would go round, be there with her. Perhaps we would go out do something nice. When I was down she always gave the best advice, she was there to put an arm round me when I was down. A guy needs that kind of thing occasionally. Sometimes I would get free food, sometimes she would get free drink. You know how much we owe each other respectively?
Before then, I had a thing going on involving lunches, one person would get it for all of us one week, another the next. Sometimes one person or the other would not be there when they were buying. Do you know how much they owe me?
You know what? I bloody well have no idea. We were friends, it was a thing friends do. No one was out to cheat the others out of money, sometimes a debt might slide, but it happened both was, over even a year that kind of thing evens out. People mean more to me than money, I just do not care if I loose out a little to my mates. Hell, I can not afford to loose money any more than anyone else, but the fact is, if you are hanging about with people who are going to try to steal off of you perhaps you should find different friends. I know I trust all of mine.
I just wish that some of the people I am closest to felt the same. It kinda hurts when you try your best to build up friendship and trust and it gets thrown back in your face.
Not that this is directed against anyone in particular of course.
Now I'm pissed off, and I'm going to revise.
