Right. Update about the past few days. (With some major, groundshaking news (for me at least) in it.)
Lets do this by days.
Thursday: The day is detailed in my birthday entry. As for the night? Went out for my birthday. Much alcohol and fun was had by yours truly.
Friday: Scriptwriting in the morning. Went to the pub with some folk from my course for foodage. Went into town. Spent some of my birthday money on the His Dark Materials 10th Anniversary hardback books (already got them in paperback, but these one’s have bonus features) and What Lie Did I Tell? by William Goldman. Cost? £28. Also picked up with my own money the new Belle & Sebastian single and the new Arctic Monkeys single.
Then went to Hell (sorry, work) and then the union for a couple of pints. Where I bumped into one of the random females from Tuesday night (might tell you lot about that sometime). She said that if I came and sat with her and her housemates, she’d buy me a belated birthday drink. Thusly, I did. It turns out I know two of her housemates. Anyhoo, they tried to convince me to head up to Club One for Pimps and Ho’s night. Despite work the next day, at 9am no less, I agreed. (Well, how could I turn down four cute females dressed as ho’s?) Much fun, and alcohol, was had by all.
Saturday: Woke up at 9am. Shit! Got to work half an hour late. Bought House of Flying Daggers with what some of my birthday money. Went for drink after work, then home.
Sunday: Wondered round town. back to the house. Get ready for the housewarming party. Held party. Much fun and alcohol was had by all. Along with, for some (including your humble diarist), smokable substances of dubious legality.
Monday: Struggled into college for 9:30. Got assigne to groups for the propeller thing I may have mentioned. I’m still working on my one. Then got assigned duties in the group.
Cue groundshaking, abso – fucking – lutely amazing news.
I’m directing.
YES!!! YOU FUCKING DANCER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Dunno if you guys are aware of this, but the main reason I got into this whole thing (apart from filming actually on film) was to make the contacts necessary to write and/or direct something that will be shown, either on TV or in cinemas, somewhere. I thought I would have to wait untill after the course finished. Not merely till I’m about a quarter of the way through. Admittedly, the station is only available if you have Sky, and I don’t, so I’m going to have to rely on the kindness of friends to see them, but still.)
Went round to a friends new place to see it. Went into town. Spent the last of my birthday money on the Arctic Monkeys album (they, in case you haven’t guessed, are my current musical obsession) and some of my own money on the Buffy, and the Goodfellas 2 disc special edition and a book about Belle & Sebastian.
That night, did the quiz at the union (my team came fourth) and the girl who bought me the birthday drink on Friday came over to speak to me.
Tuesday: Missed college, slept till 3, walked a friend to the bus station, went to a shop to buy something it turned out they didn’t have, went home and worked on my script for class. (I love the concept behind it. May tell you guys what it is, if there be enough demand.) Watched Prison Break (fantastic). Went out for a quick drink. Came home wrote this.
And now am away to bed as need to be up at 8:15.
Goodnight all.
Will
