Update on Summer

I said I'd post again about this weekend and how rad it was.

So Friday daytime was pretty uneventful. I was in Manchester most of the day wandering around various shops looking for nice Hurley stuff (unsuccessfully), and Transformers comics. I love spending time in Forbidden Planet (my haunt for comic books, action figures, and all manner of fun stuff) because it's the only shop I know where you can browse as long as you like without being asked by some assistant if you're ok. I hate that shit. Got home eventually and went through my usual ritual for getting ready to hit the town, i.e. not showering, not changing my underwear, finding the best t-shirt I can in my pile of un-ironed crap, and making my hair look awesome. Took the bus to Wigan, oh yeh I forgot, I don't have a ride anymore, I think it happened because I like having some money left when I get paid. So anyway, caught the bus pretty late, cos I was headed to the OTR show and they were headlining. Got there and they'd been moved back on the bill, so I only caught the last song. Pretty bummed, but I got a shout out when I walked in so the whole club ends up looking at this skinny little white kid singing 'show me unbreakable' like it's '309' at a fuckin Hit The Lights show.

Everyone hung out afterwards. I love how we're a gang. Whenever we're all out together, no one can touch us. We're the shining light in the dark and the coolest kids in the room. I'm really lucky in that respect. We're hanging out, and Kyle starts talking to this chick, and honestly, she came up to about chest height on the rest of us, and wasn't much of a looker to be honest. Ok, she was pretty much a troll, what with the height issue and everything. We headed back to Kyles place in Manchester, eventually, after Worthy went completely the wrong way on the motorway. Sat around and talked about stuff for hours, then everyone except Kyle, Rowney and me went home. I slept in the corridor along with Rowney, while Kyle and the troll chick (her name was Jane, I remembered) slept in his room. As was to be expected, about 5 minutes later I heard the rhythmic creaking and moans that told me Kyle had got lucky, although I use the term very loosely in relation to the girl in question. So this goes on for about an hour (applause), and I couldn't get to sleep at all. Then all of a sudden it stops, and the door opens. I look up, expecting to either see either Kyle looking pleased with himself, or Jane looking worn out. Instead, I'm greeted with Kyle, naked from the waist down, with an erection. As I dived under my covers to hide from this awful apparition, I heard him say, 'I'm gonna fuckin throw up'. After getting over the initial shock of seeing my best friends wang staring at me, I started laughing my ass off at him through the bathroom door. When he came out again, he at least had the sense to cover his balls while he went back to his room for, as I heard from him the next day, the funniest sex he'd ever had.

We all woke up around 11 on Saturday morning. Having had about 3 hours sleep thanks to Rowney snoring (despite my efforts to stop him by throwing a towel, a lighter, and both my shoes at him) I didn't do much aside from sit on Kyles bed, too tired even to be grossed out by what I might have been sitting in. Tom hit us up saying his house was free and did we want to hang, so we dragged our asses up and made the trip to the bus stop. Rolled to Toms in Rowneys new car. Not bad even though he does drive too fast. Ate barbecue and had general fun time when we got there. Kyle invited the short chick and her friends round. They were quiet and a bit odd really. When me and Worthy started singing and playing guitar they requested a bunch of songs we didn't know. Night finished with me finishing off my second bottle of wine and passing out on the couch.

Sunday I got woken up by the random chicks messing about on Myspace. Sat in the back garden with Tom and Worthy enjoying the sunshine. Kyle and Rowney eventually woke up and joined us, then argued about who had to take the 'visitors' home. Rowney lost and Kyle went with him while me and Tom ate chicken. When Kyle got back we decided to go shopping. When we were in Asda we all thought it would be an awesome idea to buy wifebeaters. So we did. I kinda liked mine but I'm sort of too skinny to wear it well. Hung at Kyles the rest of the day and watched Stranger Than Fiction. Seriously one of the best films I've seen in ages, you should all watch it. I lay in Kyles spare bed the whole time. Not been that relaxed in ages.

Pretty much the best weekend I've had for a very long time. Absolutely no stress, I just felt totally happy and content. It's a blessing to have friends who can do that for you.

edit: I started writing this Wednesday morning and I've just finished it now, Thursday night. I've got a few things I want to say that wouldn't fit well into this post so I'll update later tonight.
