The Twenties: Chapter One

So, I have now been 20 for eight days. Or twenTEEN, as I was informed the other day. I apologise for not updating sooner, this week has been taken up by drinking and partying. Let's begin on the past week.

Monday saw me at my friend's house party - she turned 21 on the same day as me, so I spent the night there. It was all going well until I bought vodka...I remember very little now of the night in question - only photographic evidence reminds me that I was there.

Tuesday saw me recover, and much needed too!

On Wednesday I went for a meal with the cast of Titanic to ZaZa Bazaar's, an all-you-can-eat joint on the Waterfront. A very enjoyable time was had, I must remember to go back again. After a small time spent outside watching an exceptional travelling brass band. This was then followed by pre-drinks in Lloyds (again on the Waterfront) before some of us headed on down to OMG, a gay club on Park Street, with free entry and drink from 99p. And despite me catching three people in the face with my elbow and not getting home until 4am, I once more had a brilliant night.

Thursday was about recovering again, as the following three days were hectic.

Friday started by heading to Clifton Downs for more time with the Titanoraks and listening to the most beautiful voice message ever from one very drunk Paul Bailey on Wednesday night. Then it was down to St. Matts for the Summer Last Orders - which included a large football match on the sunken lawn - and THEN onto the Bierkeller for their Phuct Video Games night, which I admit would have been better if more people had turned up.

Saturday saw the annual Drama Ball, which was a lovely event on Campus again. I had a bit of a moment due to severe loneliness but on the whole it was really good.

And then we come to Sunday. From midday St. Matt's held a Fun Day on the sports pitch which included a barbecue, gladiator poles, a bouncy castle and sumo suits. After living over two decades on this planet I FINALLY learnt how to do a forward roll/roly poly, whatever you want to call it, so that was something of an achievement, but again it was just great to chill out and have a lot of fun with my friends. That evening saw a Summer Ball, which I went to, then went home and got changed and then returned because I felt horrifically overdressed. That evening, a few of us hit Mbargo's in town and I rolled into bed a very happy bunny.

So, that ended my first week of being a 20-something. And now I have to look forward to the Creative Writing Showcase on Wedensday and Thursday where I aam playing a world class director. It's gonna be amazing, you should all come down and watch it. Half 7, St. Matt's campus, Room M1. It's gonna be great.

Talking of the showcase, I'm off for a rehearsal now and I'll be abck later with a bit more of an update on life.
