exhausted

Last night, Regan and I went over to Missy's for dinner. Missy took holiday from work this week, like me, and she was supposed to go to England with her family but decided to stay here so we could hang out. She's a sweetie.

Regan and I had an adventure getting the bus to Rutherglen. I've never been out in that direction before, so we were on the edge of our seats trying to find the landmarks that Missy told us to look out for. We finally made it to the right stop (yay!) and walked up the road for about 15 mins to Missy's house.

On the way, Missy asked me if I could roll her a cigarette, which I was happy to do, but, like an idiot, I put my brand-new pack of tobacco in my back pocket, and while we walked, it wriggled itself out an lost itself somewhere along the way. Doh! I wasn't very happy about that, but I figured that the person who finds it needs it more desperately than me.

As it is, I'm smoking Svenska's swedish tobacco that she brought back, and it looks a lot like silly string. It's a bit weird to roll, and it's stronger than the stuff I'm used to. I don't like it as much as my Drum Gold, but you know...beggars, choosers, etc.

Missy made an excellent dinner of chicken breasts with pesto and lemon. Delicious. Then, she had a surprise cake that she gave us for pudding, and we ate every crumb before she told us that she had just invented it herself.

Renaissance woman, that missy. It was scrumptious.

Took a taxi back to mine at about 230, and waited with Regan at the bus stop until 3am. Came home and watched more of Velvet Goldmine, which did my head in a bit, and then practically crawled to my room at 4 and went to bed.

Today I feel physicaly exhuasted, despite the fact that I slept most of the day. Svenska and I cleaned the kitchen...I don't think we necessarily wanted or intended to do it, but we were listening to Moulin Rouge soundtrack and didn't want to shut it off. So we cleaned. It gleams now.

Thinking about a touch of karaoke tonight. Frodo's working, so I might skip down to the pub and join him after my shift.

Friday I'm putting on my party dress (whichever one I finally decide upon....I can't make up my mind very easily about these sort of things). I'm looking forward to it, and I think I've invited just about everyone I've run into in the past couple of days to join in. Should be quite the party.

Miles says 'Hi'.
