Well, got my 20 laps in this morning (after getting to the swimming pool at 7.30 and finding it didn't open till 9) and did lots of sit ups and stretching as well so yay me :-)
Quick infest review:
Anyway, that was just meant to be a short summary for I have to now go out for a drive and see whether the car will make it's bloody mind up whether it is squeaking or not. The route will never be straying too far from the garage just in case the car decides to prove in a most physical manner that it has actually been poorly again and not faking it, though I am keeping my fingers crossed that the noise was just a small child trapped in the gears that has now dropped out miles back leaving the car undamaged.
Quick infest review:
- Didn't even know I was going till Saturday afternoon when i was set up on a blind date with a cute young single ticket.
- Panic on how to look dressed up on Saturday night without having to spend 6 hours getting ready and stressed was solved when I remembered my Delerium outfit.. although it doesn't work as fancy dress without the hair, the dress alone looks interesting and is both sexy and comfy and takes 2 minutes to change into. Must remember this for future "nothing to wear" panic situations
- Managed to get to see the two funniest bands there, Spock and Welle:erdball, without having any prior knowledge of who would be playing due to lastminutedness of the whole situation. Summary:
Spock: instead of a sea of metal \m/ signs a sea of Star Trek \\// signs instead
Welle:erdball: (whose name I am typing from memory so please don't correct me or if you feel you have to, be nice) League of Gentlemen does Ramnstein does Kraftwerk) - Managed to meet up with
ketlogic, briefly with
allezbleu and Lee, finally got to meet
missyk8 after trying to invite her to ladybirds and Wendyhouse and stuff for AGES and she was just as bouncy and lovely in real life as she is online, and inducted
deathboy into the Church of the chainsaw. Not to mention getting to spend time with my wonderful friends that I thought I woudln't get to see that weekend such as Vix,
simon_bretonnia, Trish, Roger, and now I've started listing names I'm sure I will forget someone and offend them so I'll stop there. - Found my way through Bradford by car and on foot... only time I got a teensy little bit lost was trying to make my way out of Halls after crashing there on the Saturday night but we're not going to talk about that are we...
- Surprised myself by not only not getting hideously drunk at any point over the weekend but by not having any desire whatsoever to do so... which was nice. In fact, the one kind of scary thing was looking back to being there last year and realising that I was suffering from depresion a whole year ago... at least. Frightening how I could be like that for so long and not twig...
- Still managed to get back on Sunday night in time to watch the wrestling with
lykeios which perfectly rounded off a wonderful weekend :-)
