Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hey SG. I'm sorry I haven't seen you much these days. I know I should have called, but I've been kinda busy... Well, that's a bit of a lie. You know how I am. But enough with my faux-whateveriness.

Yeah, I haven't been on much. It all started about two weeks ago, when a friend and SG alumni took me to Centre Parcs with his family and a friend of his sister. We were there for four days, which totally threw off my rountine, meaning I kinda... didn't come back on. But that was really fun. If a little repetitive. And by the end of it I just wanted to go home, and was covered in bruises.

However, by the time my bruises had healed, I was whisked away from my cosy little Cambridge life to go visit my girlfriend in Somerset, which is, for those of you not familiar with the counties of England, literally on the other side of the country. Which meant I had to get up at 5am to get there at a reasonable time. Bleh.

But I had a good time there. On the first night we didn't really do much other than what we usually get up to, but on the second night I was thrown into the local fair, where I met a majority of her friends. To my surprise, everything went well, and apparently they all like me.

Alas, on Sunday I had to leave, and then set in a train station waiting room for an hour, and then go on a very crowded train journey, and sit on my rather uncomfortable suitcase for two hours. I got back in one piece, albeit with a very sore arse.

But, then, next week I'll be down there again, as on the 22nd it's my birthday. However, my girlfriend is on a trip to Dublin with school, and won't be getting back till 12 on the friday, so she'll be too tired to travel down here. But... Eh, I don't mind. As long as I get to see her, I don't mind.

Thanks again for listening SG. I know it's not important in the least, I feel better for having a talk with you.


P.S I promise to update the LP soon. I have it all figured out.

Centre Parcs is hard to describe, but... Basically, you go to a Centre Parcs place, and rent out a villa for a few days. Then you have to buy food from them, buy activities from them, and buy/rent DVDs and games from them. And I got bruised because of the Rapids, this kinda waterslide type thing, that I and everyone else kept banging into the sides of. I tended to go down that thing doing sorta stunts, like sitting cross-legged the entire way down, not moving.

And well, it was her birthday, and I did want to see her. And I'm going again at the weekend, though I don't need to be up at five am this time.

Unfortunately, most of the bruises were on my hips. Kinda hard to be macho there.
