Work, play, love?
Hey, so how you doing?
Things here have been extremely busy. Last weekend was awesome. I had a Canadian friend come stay for the weekend - enter Ainsley. Gonna go see her when I'm in Canada early next month! :-p First we had a BBQ on Saturday evening and watched Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey. Sunday me and Ainsley ran up to Amir's house for a house-warming party which was real good fun. Monday me, Enio, Gordon, James, Dan and Ainslie went to Thorpe Park and had an awesome time, mucho thanks to Abbas suggesting it. I was pretty darn scared to begin with - I haven't been to a theme park since I was small, and then I was so scared of any remotely fast ride.
So, my loving friends tried the one ride in the theme park which is in the Guinness book of records. Great. I climbed into the ride quite nervously and the ride attendants came and checked all our straps. Mid-way between thinking of an excuse to jump off the ride (perhaps an allergy to heights) and feeling a bit queezy the ride suddenly jolted to a start. Frick. You think it's all okay when you slowly go up the initial climb, then it all goes wrong.. the first decline seemed okay, then it got crazy and for a few seconds I was wondering why I'd a theme park of all places to go to on a nice sunny day, but then something funny happened. I enjoyed it, and quite a lot - enough to go back on the same roller coaster another 2 times, twas fun! The scariest by far was a ride where the seats are around a huge circular column. After being strapped in the seats slowly rise to the summit, a *long* way up, and then dropped at complete free fall, all the way down to the ground. That scared the begeezus outta me - I had verbal diarrhea for the few milliseconds I was dropped for. Eep.
Also been getting real close to the friends in the bookshop, they're all so great, almost like family! 
Gonna arrange a party for my birthday which is gonna be so fun! Hope it all goes to plan though
I'm slowly coming to the end of my placement at the BBC. It's going to be sad leaving but I do have so much to do when I finish. Also wanna have a lie in and also go out a bit more! Last night I went out to a club with Amir and Salvador and had an amazing time, most of all because of the company I had. We went to Long Island Ice Tea and just relaxed. Met some cute Americans, but they seemed just to want to have drinks bought for them, ah well, I think one was trying to rub up against me on the dance floor... didn't know what to do so just watched... oops :-p Afterwards we went to Crispy Duck for a good chinese meal, then went to Amir's.
Also, I think I might be falling for a girl... hmm.
