There is a photo that I think perfectly sums up a group of my friends, it’s from when we went to Rockworld for my birthday last year, and it’s basically us slumped on the floor in a drunken state.

I liked it so much, I commissioned Scruff, of off planetscruff.com to do it as a cartoon.

I love it!

Just booked 10 days in Las Vegas

yay!

that is all

Since i decided to lose some weight, I’ve drank nothing but vodka & diet coke.

Trouble is, vodka effects me differently from beer in two main ways

1) less calories, smaller belt size

2) it entirely wipes my memory of the night.

For the past 3 months, I pretty much don’t remember *anything* from 9pm onwards on a weekend (and sometimes weekday).

I used to dread looking at my phone in the mornings, and seeing texts I’d sent whilst drunk.  Now I pretty much rely on them to try to reconstruct my night.

Last week, after drinking in my local, I went back to a houseparty.  The only reason I know this is because in the morning I found a text I sent at 5am to a friend saying:

“Ok, am entirely lost on an estate somewhere, to get back to Swinton do I head towards or away from the sun?”

This weekend i was in Blackpool for a con, again don’t remember pretty much anything of Thursday to Sunday nights.  Which I don’t mind cos I seem to have been having fun, (other than getting banned from the con), but i *know* i’ve had conversations with people that I’d really like to remember.

It occured to me on saturday that a good thing to do, would be to use my mobile to record a video diary every hour or so, just saying what i’ve been doing for the past hour.  Then in the morning I could properly reconstruct my evening.  I also thought it would probably make funny enough viewing to post up here.  Unfortunately I got drunk and entirely forgot to do it every night since then.  It’s something I do intend to do, when I remember!

As usual was a good weekend, we went 80’s style again on the friday, and superheroes on the saturday.  Although am starting to think my Clark kent costume is a bit of a cop out!

Am now busy scouring other peoples websites for additional photos of me I can use to reconstruct my weekend!

Another weekend of utter insanity, this time at the Asylum con in Coventry with Rogue Events.

Met Dean and Jo from Supernatural, Chloe from Smallville, and Davros from Doctor Who.  Yay!

Whilst exploring the restricted areas of the hotel, Jamie managed to set off the intruder alarm, and in his panic to escape set off the fire alarm too, then locked himself, me and debs in a caged area behind the hotel.

We decided to ignore the theme for the fancy dress party and choose our own instead, the 80’s.  It is a little bizarre that all the clothes we used for our 80’s costumes (above) were on sale in Primark in 2007.. who buys this stuff??

Lots of fun, can’t wait for the next one!

For those of you who knew her, Claire had her baby on saturday.  They’re both doing fine, and he’s called Samson.
