I don't think I belong here.
It was my flatmate's birthday on Saturday, and about twenty of her mates came up. I wasn't planning on going out but after drinking in the flat for a while got roped into it.

After the first bar everyone got split up. It ended up being just me and four girls (three stupidly fit and one a munter, bless her) I'd known for about an hour in a horrific club I usually avoid. I assume this sort of thing is most young lads' dream but not me - I can't handle one girl let alone bloody four. My place as a social outcast was confirmed further by the fact they were all dressed upto the nines and then there was me in a hoodie, albeit an ace one.

When was the last time you stuck out like a sore thumb?

Bloodstock last year
95% of people there were wearing all black, or dark colours. I turned up on the first day in yellow shorts and a Liverpool shirt, with a bright yellow hat.

The lad we were meeting there spotted me within 30 seconds, in a crowd of several hundred, highly entertaining weekend followed.

we were in this darkened room with candles and scents and you lie on these warm soft beds which massage your back and legs and emit some sort of waves to put you to sleep. allegedly. then you listen to this woman yammering on about a pleasure garden on some headphones and soothing plinky plonky music. every other woman in the room was loving it and was sparked out.

now i can't lie still for a minute at the best of times, and being made to go to sleep at 12.30pm was just weird to me. i was the only one thrashing around and sighing whilst they were all flat out and loving it.
