It's Monday morning. 11.40, to quote the time on my computer clock. I am sitting in nothing but my dressing gown eating fried egg and tomato pesto baps*.
I love flexitime.
That said, I do have to go to work soon. Grump.
Thanks for everybody's ace comments to cheer me up. I had an excellent weekend as it turns out, so not needed! But lovely.
Friday
Went to the Rocky Horror Show, as would have to pay for the ticket either way. Planned to go to the work thing afterwards, but this plan was a bad idea for 2 reasons: (1) I had cleavage, and (2) the show started at 8.30, so finished around 11 and I didn't know how late the other pub stayed open for. But this was ok, as the company at Rocky was great. I'd not seen some of them for ages, and it was nice. Crashed at Simon's flat.
Saturday
Went home about 4, showered, dressed, went to Tesco to buy crisps and chocolate and alcohol, then headed to Chris' flat for an evening of films. Was a lovely evening of lovely company. And got a lift home into the bargain.
Sunday
Sewed green things for the show, in the company of 2 of Housemate Alex's friends who are staying for a while. Then headed to the Savoy rehearsal where I met everyone and generally interrupted the rehearsal. Felt a bit bad that I'd made such a disruption, but then I realised that it's not my fault that everyone was too excited about green shiny things, as I didn't really talk. The cast are interesting and I'm quite sure I'm going to hate some of them. Hurrah! But there are plenty that I like and get on with, so that's good. Went to Doctors afterwards, where I suddenly felt knackered so didn't stay long. Dave was there, and boasting that he hadn't been very far away from Bedlam in 29 hours. I told him to go home. Maybe not in the politest way ever. Oops. He hadn't slept and looked very out of it. Hope he's ok.
Now, I really should go to work. But I really don't want to. That's the problem with lazy mornings.
I've got an interview next Monday, and I can't yet decide if I want to go to it. I'd have to do a report for it, and I've not got any time to do it, and I don't know how to... But will think about it today and see... I've got another application in, and I'm sure there'll be more soon. I just want to think carefully about what I want to do, before ending up in another non-perfect job.
*It still amuses me that they call them baps. I'm such a child.
Irn-Bru is the answer
I stick by my never delete posts rule, so I'm just going to post lots until that drunk one is off the radar!
This week:
Thursday
Was exceedingly grumpy before orchestra, and quite during, but happy afterwards. It was ace. Got a new crush (see drunken post).
Friday
Work. Am quite sure I also did something that evening, but I cannot remember what.
Ooh! Ceilidh. My first ceilidh in Edinburgh. It just wasn't the same as Manchester ones. Mainly as I didn't know many people - 3 in fact. Andy Pooh Bar and his girlfriend, Iona, and Dave (ex). So I didn't dance much. Wasn't in the mood to be crazy and talk to boys. But did make a new female friend called Sam who is cool and invited me out tonight but I can't go.
Saturday
Mark was here! Started the day by washing and tidying and rearranging my room a little so I can have a radiator (it's starting to get cold, even by my standards...). Then I met Adam for a quick drink and then went to see Mark at his friend Dan's flat (as it was Dan's birthday). Drinking games ensued, and I remember a cat and a German girl and karaeoke. Then we went to Subway as we decided this would be most like 5th Ave and therefore a good idea. I don't really remember being there, just have one flash of what it looks like inside. Don't really remember walking home either, but do remember that I couldn't get in and had to ring the doorbell. Oops.
Sunday
Mostly throwing up, followed by going to meet Mark and Dan and tell them they were bad people. Then wisely didn't go to Doctor's and went home and watched a film.
Monday
Work. Nothing. Except a girl called Josie came round and gave me green things to sew for the next Savoy show.
Tuesday
Morning off! Then work. Sewed green things.
Wednesday
Work. Nothing. Was supposed to go to orchestra, but just couldn't face it.
Thursday
Work. Half day off! Died hair pink. Went to pub then orchestra then pub then pub. Discovered people live near me, so I don't always have to get the bus home on my own. And they like drinking, so we went to a pub near my house. Hurrah!
Orchestra is really hard this term. I cannot play most of the music. This wasn't a problem, asd I thought it would fix itself. But it isn't. I don't know what to do - someone else has already told me they don't want to do the concert as they are worried about looking rubbish. I feel like this too, but have to lead the section looking rubbish. And will definitely be noticed.
Maybe I should practise. A lot.
Friday
Is now. I am very broken, but haven't been sick, despite thinking I was gonna. The plan for tonight is one of 3 things:

- Work night out. (Want to do this to know more people at work, but am scared as I might make a fool of myself, or not know anyone, or not like anyone.)
- Rocky Horrow Show. (Not really in the mood for this, but due to a mix up, I might have to pay for the ticket anyway, so I might go.)
- Meet Sam, girl from ceilidh, and some of her collegues. (Quite want to do this, but not as much as 1.)
Plan for the rest of weekend is:
- Nothing.
- Nothing.

Oh my gosh
I don't remember writing that.
I'm at work and was about to post that I'm really quite drunk at work still. That last post shocks me. Oops.
I have half pink hair today. I feel normal.

I'm drunk.
I am not that a person, am I?
I can't ever find anyone I want. The person I want at the moment wants to move to London. I will move there. If he wants. I will move anywhere and do anything if I like them enough.
That's so sad.

Work has stopped with as many interesting facts. Grump. Although I'm not sure many people enjoyed them other than me! Probably why the facts slowed down. Today’s though is alright - "'Typewriter' is the longest word that you can make using only the letters on the top row of your computer keyboard." FACT.
So, a long time to catch up on! I shall start at the beginning. I daresay this will not be finished today*, and I shall have more to update on by the time I've finished. Such is life.
28/9/6 – Thursday
Last blog. Orchestra (SNTCO). Can’t remember anything specific about it…
29/9/6 – Friday
Kelly's Birthday. Went to her flat for dinner. Lovely flat! Had a nice stir fry then went out to Bar Kohl, a vodka bar on George IV Bridge. Was nice! Met some new people and had a nice evening. But was tired, so went home about 10.30, about 2 hours before Dave was out, I think.
30/9/6 – Saturday
Pete and Sarah here! Started the day by doing washing and tidying and stuff, before going out to meet Pete and Sarah on Princes Street, when the fun started. Went for a pint, then another and food, then a gig, then a pint, then my house, then another pint, then a not gig. Highlights include not spitting on the floor and a stranger thinking Pete was dating both of us. I should have blogged about this at the time, because I can’t make it sound as fun with highlights, but don’t remember enough details!
1/10/6 – Sunday
Sunday’s main activity was comedy at The Stand – one of Edinburgh’s 2 comedy venues. I’ve never been to the other one, but have been to this a few times. It’s a free improvised show, where the food is pretty big and nice for the cheap prices. It did take a little too much of the afternoon though, so when it’d finished we had trouble finding activities to do that wouldn’t make Pete and Sarah be stranded in Edinburgh (not that I would complain!). Found a pub and quiz machine and made up our own quizzes too. When they’d gone I went to meet Dave for a coffee, where there was a mutual decision not to go out anymore, as we’d not really seen each other for 2 weeks, so it’s not like we’ve really been dating anyway. I figure if it was supposed to happen we’d both have managed to find time for each other, but we didn’t.
2/10/6 – Monday
Drinking with Adam. I arrived at his with a bottle of wine, we chatted for a while, then went across the road to play pool. I like spending the evening with Adam.
3/10/6 – Tuesday
Should have been at orchestra at 7.15. Left work at 7.30. Home at 8.30. Bed. Whoops.
4/10/6 – Wednesday
Orchestra (Open). Got the new conductor. He's ace! I like him. For me he has a good level of perfectionism with realism, and doesn't stop us too often. I probably also like it a little as so far the music has been fairly easy, cello wise, and I've not looked dumb. I don't think.
5/10/6 – Thursday
Orchestra (SNTCO). I don’t remember much specific about this rehearsal either! This may have been the first week of the “tea before orchestra” club, instigated by me not wanting to go home between work and rehearsal. So there are a few of us who now go to a pub for tea. I like it! It’s nice people.
6/10/6 – Friday
Opera – Carmen. I knew 2 people in this show, so decided to go along and watch. Was sat on my own, which was possibly a first for me… But it was ok! I managed to sit near some really figitey people, which was a little annoying, but there was a cute little boy in front who kept me amused when the show was dull. It’s the first time I’ve seen that opera, and I’m not sure how much I liked it… I didn’t like Carmen, but I couldn’t decide if it was the character or the performer. The people I knew in the show thought I’d got the best Carmen, but the conductor from Tuesday orchestra was also there and is under the impression we got the worst one. I’m going to go with his opinion and hope that I’d like it better with a different performer. I do like the music though, and have played the overture numerous times, which I didn’t realise until I got there!
7/10/6 – Saturday
Town then Dundee then Carnoustie. Missed my train to Carnoustie, as I decided last minute to get an earlier one and wasn't pushy enough to skip the queue for tickets. So had hours to wait. So went for a wander, which was actually quite nice, then I got a train which left me a big change in Dundee, so I could go to PRIMARK! How exciting. It was rubbish and scummy compared to Manchester, but I got 3 scarves, a pair of shoes and hideous sexy bedware. Got to Carnoustie eventually, and arrived at Gran's to find lots of small children running around (4 cousins) who then had the best time ever wearing all of my new scarves at once. Kids went home and I had a nice meal with my parents and chat with Gran, after being embarrassed by my mum not having enough money at the shop!
8/10/6 – Sunday
Gary’s Birthday! He turned 12, so we went over to their house and were allowed in (this is quite rare) and gave him his present of a yo-yo (that I only picked up cause I thought it was a tyre) and money. We also gave Carla her 5th Birthday present of a colouring book that my dad had customised and also money. They’re hard to buy for, as they have a lot more toys than they have space, so I think my mum doesn’t want the responsibility of putting any more stuff in their house! Gary went off to Dundee with his pals (that’s what you have to call them in Scotland) and we took the other 3 kids to the beach, where Aillie fell in the sea and had to be re-clothed. This ended up with me carrying Carla on the way to take me to the train, and I got very covered in sand. Train back, quick trip home, then out to Doctor’s for a pleasant evening of chatting.
9/10/6 - Monday
Not sure...
10/10/6 – Tuesday
Orchestra (St. Andrew's). It was the AGM and I was a little late and I had loud shoes on. Oops. Still not convinced this orchestra is right for me...
11/10/6 – Wednesday
Orchestra (Open). Thought I was late as I forgot to leave work. But I was second there! Rehearsal was fine, but I chickened out of the pub afterwards due to a committee meeting taking some nice people, and tiredness levels.
12/10/6 – Thursday
Orchestra (SNTCO). Did play so well, and a bit unconfident about leading the section any more. So will practise. Didn't stay for the pub (shock horror!) and went to see Jed play a gig. He's the guy who's flat I looked around and tried to see his gig twice already. It was fun! He's so bouncy and it's amusing to watch him play as he just looks so happy with it. Talked to some strangers and found out about some more gigs to go to. Then went home and cried for no apparent reason.
13/10/6 – Friday
I secretly went to Manchester straight from work. Got a train and everything went smoothly. Ooh, just remembered! It went round Bolton due to a signal fault, and Mahinda sent me a text saying it'd taken him ages to get to Bolton, and I casually said "Oh, that'll be the broken signal box", and thought that my surprise cover had been blown. Had a text from Liz at 9.11 saying she needed my address urgently. I walked into Sinclair's about 30 minutes later and asked why. Everyone squealed! It was funny. They'd been writing me a letter as Liz thought I'd like to have been there, and it wasn't the same without me. Or something. It was nice! There was Liz (Dr.) and Liz (Bassoon) and Matt (Horn) and Matt (Grandad) and Miranda and Steve and Paula and Patrick. Then I went to sleep in Liz's bed, but got in trouble for not being able to stop talking.
14/10/6 – Saturday
Manchester. Went to fat club via Paula and Patrick's, but got in trouble for being early and for "decorating" their flat during the wedding reception. Oops. Fat club was different - in a different place and with a different woman, and now they even have a motivational talk! Glad I don't go anymore, as I don't think I'd be able to take a talk seriously. But it was ok as we went to Suburb for coffee instead. I like Suburb. And I liked the company. Talked about rhubarb and babies and boys and other things. Then went shopping and Liz bought an ace (hideous) coat for winter. The Liz had rehearsal, Kate had to go to Kendal’s and Paula was going to get something framed. And as I’d failed to find out what Charlotte was doing, I went to her flat. I think (!) I surprised her. Stayed there for a while for a good catch up, and it was ace. I love Charlotte. Then I headed off to my parents where Katherine was coming too, and Jennifer met us at the train station and we all surprised my dad. It was cool. Then we had tea, and I borrowed the car and snuck off to a Slugs Ate My Parents gig in the Rampant Lion, followed by a party at Holker Mansions, which are now even more grand with the additional conservatory, and ended at the MUGSS Pirate party. The evening was ace, but in my excitement I drank too much and was probably not pretty and don’t remember things. I do remember handcuffing a cute Danish man. And having the best shoes.
15/10/6 – Sunday
Woke up in Mahinda’s bed, had hangover showers, then Mahinda made me plenty marmite on toast to ease the hangover. It was quite a bad one! Met people in Kro 2 for drinks/food, then headed back to my parents to return the car and spend some time there. My time there was mainly spent on the sofa. I watched TV. It was weird. I’m not used to it anymore, so kept talking back. Oops. Then got the train back and went straight to the pub! I’ve realised that if I want friends in Edinburgh I have to go to places that they will be. So I did.
16/10/6 – Monday
Daddy's birthday. I forgot to ring. Oops. I saw him on Saturday and Sunday and gave him a card and present. But still should have. Oops. I didn't even do anything exciting to distract me! I did washing and watched Dave Gorman and did some tidying. That's about it.
17/10/6 – Tuesday
Watched Back to the Future II, had a bath, applied for a job.
18/10/6 – Wednesday
Yesterday. Made lovely tea (some concoction with coconut milk) and then went for a quick pint with Housemate Kat, which turned into a few! Was fun. Met some of her friends from Fife – real Scots! Probably the first time I’ve been in the pub where there were more Scots than non. But also probably the first time that vegetarians outnumbered non too!
19/10/06 – Thursday
