Alcohol - The Bane Of And Reason For My Existence
Good Things About Yesterday- I had my last exam. No more revision or guilt at not doing any revision until at least the resits in August.
- I got so very drunk.
- Twice. I started at a pub called Swiss Cottage around 1.30, was a little tipsy by the time I went home at 6 or 7, and then went to a house party down in Brixton, where I proceeded to get pretty much twatted.
- I met some very cool people at this party, and managed to engage in conversation with them whilst being quite drunk.
- I was able to explain the "Stella effect" to a group of people who were unaware of its angering qualities.
- I managed to get both to and back from Brixton without being a) killed, b) mugged, c) attacked or d) raped. It's not as bad as everyone makes out...
- I didn't have to pay for the taxi from Brixton back up into Central London. Someone else volunteered to pay, and wouldn't accept any money from me, no matter how much I (drunkenly) attempted to give her some.
- I pulled this girl who also does law.
Bad Things About Yesterday
- She was a bit, how you say, below average in the looks department. A good kisser though.
- I promised this girl that I'd invite her and her friend to the house party at my house next Saturday. I haven't done that yet...
- I had to walk from Chancery Lane to Oxford Circus to get a bus at 3.30 in the morning, pissed. It's a very long way, especially when you are dying for the loo.
- I spent too much money. I shouldn't really be going out that much, because my bank balance has been taking a hammering recently. And there's no more student loan payments until September!
- I fell asleep on the night bus again. Thankfully I woke up right as the bus was pulling away from the stop I usually get off at, so I was able to get off at the next stop and walk a little bit down the hill to get home. That's a hell of a lot easier than getting home from a bus depot in Edgware...
And that's about it for yesterday. Suffice it to say that I was fairly hungover this morning, not to mention being absolutely knackered. And where did I find myself by 1 in the afternoon? In the pub!
Me and Pete went to grab some lunch and to watch football, but there was absolutely no way that I was going anywhere near any alcohol. It was all about Cokes today. That and some very tasty food.
It was a great atmosphere in the pub today for the playoff final between West Ham and Crystal Palace. One of my housemates is a Hammer, and there were loads of them in there, getting very loud and all the more desperate as the game slipped away from them.
The funniest / most worrying aspect was this guy who was so very angry, from the kick-off through to the final whistle. He was shouting at the screen, and looked like the veins on the side of his head were going to burst at any minute. It wouldn't have surprised me if he had been on the Stella since 12.
At one point, West Ham had a goal disallowed for offside, but all of the fans in the pub didn't realise that it had been ruled out, and so were up and cheering. When they noticed that it had been disallowed, they groaned and made their way back to their seats.
A lone Crystal Palace fan got up and mockingly told them to "ssssshh". The angry man from above shouted back at him, across the big room, to "shut the fuck up, you four-eyed speccy cunt!", because the guy had glasses on. This angry man looked like he was ready to murder someone.
We left pretty quickly after the final whistle, because it looked like their was going to be some more aggro between the 20-odd Hammers fans and the 3 Palace fans, All of the West Ham fans looked like proper punchy bastards, and the Palace guys were being a little too cocky and conspicuous in their celebrations.
Ahh, English pubs on match days, is there anything better in the world? I have yet to find it.
