I went to see His Dark Materials
at the National theatre a few months back, it was great. But a couple of guys didn't get up when I tried to get to my seat (cos it was so sold out I was sitting seperatly from my dad) so I went past and heard them complaining. Then a lot of people in the theatre had these devices that I thought were for hard of hearing, but were saying the action, that were loud in tense moments. I was getting pretty annoyed at some of it, till I noticed how many people were being guided to the exits and realised it was a blind discount day (I'm sure there's a proper term for that...)

I was talking to my friend Heather online and she suddenly said to turn to BBC that second, someone was on who looked a bit like her mum (bear in mind I'd only seen her mum a few times) and had an American accent so I instantly asked if it was her parents. It was that Lois Theron program on the whorehouse. This was kind of a return for when I'd asked out a friend of ours (idiotically) and she'd said no, then another friend had asked her out later that day. The next day (the last in that school term) we were talking and I pointed out "Helena's got two guys going after her now! And niether of us are that great really..." she said "Awww, you're so honest..." She swears she meant to say modest, but you know :P
