Fire blowing

Well today my best friend finally let the cat out of the bag that she's sleeping with my ex. Yes the one who managed to screw me out of everything I had worked so hard for. Yes, The same one who smashed my face in when I decided to leave him. I know I should be upset about this whole thing but for some reason all I can do is smile. Not because I wish bad on them and not because I had some sadistic fantasy about her going through what I did as punishment for betraying me. I am just impressed with the way I handled the situation. You see it all managed to come out in a fight that we were busy having... She starts telling me how happy he makes her and how noone has made her happier... Obviously waiting for some wave of lava fury to hit her as she is sure that the words she has just uttered have sliced into me like a hot blade through butter. I am not sure why exactly I did what I did next or how I found the strength to not care so much about others anymore. Perhaps its an attribute I gained over a long period of being an emotional wreck or from being able to stand on my own two feet and finally starting to live a story that I am proud of. I do not know but I somehow just laughed... The best friend obviously shocked at my casual attitude and needing to see that hurt the same hurt I had perhaps inflicted on her during our conflict, she as always tried to look perfectly poised. "So I hope you can be happy for us, and we can fix our friendship.", she uttered as if this was going to throw me off balance. My reply was as casual as the first had been saying that if he made her happy so be it as he sure as hell did not make me happy and that what she did in her love life was none of my concern. Of course I had to throw in that if I cared about him I would still be with him, perhap just to remind my opponent that my words could still be cold if I needed them. In all of my time being friends with Tazz she has never been completely speechless or backed down before but hey what do you know.

I still somehow don't know if our friendship would survive the awakwardness that this will bring but for once I am completely content in myself and I feel as if I am capable of standing on my own no matter what happens. It is the best I have felt in a long time.  

My B-day

So it was my b-day this weekend and all seemed to go as could be expected. I got spoilt rotten, got drunk and fell down. So the usual for anyones b-day.

I did feel a little upset that the usual faces that are normally there on my b-day weren't. Most of them also didn't have a good excuse so like whateva. But some guy that I work with managed to pitch up somewhat acidentally with him being friends with one of my friends and what not. This was a little awakward considering me telling the bf that I cannot stand this guy one bit at work and then he manages to show up at my party so yeah. 

I remember Q ba and going to watch concussion girl at Woody's until the point when they decided a b-day drink was a good idea and proceeded to get me  2 Jagerbombs and a tequila in a row. After that it is all a blur. Besides arguing with the drummer about tdriving my car coz he doesn't have a license and insisting I was okay to drive, a debate at which I faied miserably. And then I remember the bf carring me inside and putting my pj's on. 

I can usually remember what I did but the bf says that this is normal as now I am not a teenager anymore and therefore don't know everything anymore. 

eastrand.womf.com has finally gone through its last phase of upgrades touch wood and so far there are no problems with it. And I got a mention in the Springs addie for my charity work. So work is atleast going well. Lets see what the rest of the week has in store.

Nerdy or Miss Priss??

I am at the moment balancing between wheather I think I am too prissy or too nerdy. I believe that a good combination is always good. I have come to this conclusion that I have more pink on my desk than any sane person should [Yes, I do already know that I am not exactly normal but still]. Hence the above.

But on the other hand I spent the whole of the weekend playing Xbox- Guitar hero and End War ( I just think its really cool coz it is voice prompted) and I actually know what Warhammer is.

And then I go back to the fact that I know that Gianni Versace was assassinated by Andrew Cunnan. And I also know that the founder of Addidas and the founder of Puma are brothers and arch enemies. And I also own a ridiculous amount of playboy merchandise. Again Prissy…

And then I need to consider that I also know that cat pee glows under a black UV light [Don't ask]. And I know exactly what people mean when they talk about mount doom or Mordor or any other fantasy place in any cult fantasy movie.

But now that I think about it perhaps it is neither that is overpowering. The root of the problem seems to come from my intrest in almost completely useless information. [I say almost because every now and again it comes in handy like on quiz night].

Argh, who cares its Monday!

The crystal ball

Well I havn’t been able to post for a while but everything has just been like a whirl wind this past week. Well the long weekend was okay it was nice to have such a long relaxing break. The bf had to work Friday and Monday which sucks. So I spent the weekend doing washing and cleaning the house. Yes, on my own even when he was there. Well I suppose that’s not exactly fair he did clean the bathroom and helped with the kitchen.

We finally have some clarity on the whole engagement thingy. We are but we are making it all official like at the end of the year. If our relationship survives all these late nights and whot not. He worked late again last night or should I say this morning. He ill be going home at 8 am and as you all can see I am already at work so I havn’t seen him. Personally I have a hard time believing that he worked from 7am yesterday to 8am today but I guess that’s just because I grew up with a professional liar for a step father so I don’t believe what anyone says, I always make up my own mind. That coupled with the fact that I am just too damn observant for my own good makes me a force to be reckoned with. For example the bf trying to convince me he hasn’t seen the scumbag of a best friend:
BF: I missed you babe I was here all alone.
Soitaire: Hey baby were you here alone last night? [stupid question I have already seen the once full bottle of vodka standing on the table with 2 glasses but knowing that it will be far moe entertaining to let this little skit play out]
BF: Yup
Solitaire: So you decided to drown your sorrows?
BF: No, why?
Solitaire: The bottle of vodka
BF: Oh that yeah
Solitaire: So your absolutely sure that you didn’t see the scumbag lastnight?
BF: No, I havn’t seen him in ages.
Solitaire: WOW! Babe you really have a strong stomach to manage to get an entire bottle of vodka down in 2 glasses. And you have no hang over. I am really impressed.
BF: Okay so maybe the scumbag came over and we had a few drinks.

Damn I am good aren’t I. So yeah he better not be trying to pull any stunts because he doesn’t pay enough attention to detail to fool me. I hope I don’t have to swallow my words in the near future but I am pretty confident. To be honest I don’t really buy any of this working for 24hrs bullshit that he is trying to sell me. But I guess that’s just my “insecurities” creeping up again. I told him this morning that I don’t believe him and his answer was do you want to speak to my boss, I said no. In retrospect I think I should have. I probably wouldn’t have anyway but I could have just said yes to see his reaction and by that I would have known.

But he has been acting strange lately but I have found no evidence of a phantom woman so perhaps its just something else. Sadly I love him and it makes sense because if I didn’t we wouldn’t still be together and I am starting to worry that I am starting to loose my touch being blinded by my feelings and all, and I certainly don’t want to end up in the same trap that my mother fell into; loving a man that will ultimately destroy me. But perhaps I am just far too paranoid for my own good.
Only time will tell.

The crystal ball

So this weekend was a really busy one which sucks! I can’t wait to be able to just laze around all weekend. But I should find time this weekend coming as it is 4 days long! Whoop, whoop!!

Friday: We went to play cricket as all of you know. It was the best game ever even though we lost by 2 runs, but considering we played against one of the umpires there the ref was obviously slightly biased. Especially when the umpire we were playing against almost killed me by smacking the ball at like a trillon miles per hour directly towards my face. Now the rules are that a man can’t bat directly towards a female. I tried to catch the ball and did just as well as it managed to split my wrist open. It should heave been -6 points but it was apparently below the knee I think the ref is trying to tell me something… Because clearly my face looks like my ass! And besides after my oscar winning performance where I dropped like a sack of potatoes and rolled around like an injured Man United player I deserved those 6 points, anyway…

Saturday: Spent my whole morning at the bank which was an entire waste of time! I don’t understand how you need to be in debt to get finance. I mean seriously and if no1 will give me credit how the hell am I ment to get myself into debt?? I had to fight just to open a new account! I mean seriously the banks don’t even want to take my money. Could have just been the stupid chick that tried to help me. She did alright further into a ditch. The manager did however manage to get it through her thick skull that a rental agreement does serve as proof of residence. I mean hello! After that catastrophe I decided I needed some much needed TLC so I sought it in Mother Russia and got myself a bottle of vodka. Then we went and played guitar hero at the bf’s brothers house.
Me and Dave also had a huge fight because I told the consultant she was incompetent perhaps I could have relaxed a little but once you have been there for 3 weeks in a row, which was just a great waste of time! I think anyone would need to blow off a little steam. Besides I am not sorry if she doesn’t deem a rental agreement as proof of residence then she is incompetent! We did sort it out though.

Sunday: I went to Goldreef City with the rest of the household while the bf went to play airsoft. It was rather fun and it was a good use of R120.

This morning: The bf’s sister is convinced that Dave took R100 out of her wallet. Which makes no sense what so ever because we were at Goldreef the whole of Sunday and Dave was at airsoft. Not to mention we both still have money left. So she is screaming at Dave and asking who would have taken it then? I mean seriously she probably spent it herself and doesn’t remember. I mean she is mentally ill and all… No fucken kidding she really is. She has like 20 tablets she has to take to stop her from going going psyco and killing everyone in the house. As to answer the “who took it?” question: Well now this is a tough one but my sleuth skills really helped me out here… Well lets start with who is the only person who knows where she keeps her money? Her lazy bf. Okay and who’s the only person who doesn’t have an income? Umm… her bf. So who is the only person that needs money? Oh wait… her bf. Okay and who is the only person who can dig through her cupboards ect being undetected? Her bf! So therefore the thief must be her bf!! Well done agent Smith!! Otherwise the site is pretty quiet so help me out!! Got some thing to say?? Go to www.eastrand.womf.com.

The Bearded lady

My Advice to anyone: Never ever, ever, ever, try to help a friend or family member out when it comes to business. Coz it’ll turn around and bite u in the ass!! Yup you know that I am right. Oh and never argue with an idiot, coz they will drag you down to their level and then… Beat you by experience. Now I know you all think I am being mellow dramatic but the bf’s sister is possibly the dumbest blonde I have ever met in my life! No wait I am lying… That would be her best friend… Oh or maybe Paris Hilton… [Pause] Okay so she is the 3rd dumbest blonde I know.

Okay so basically the business is down so I decide that I will help them out by giving them some free advertising on the website. Which is by the way doing wonderfully… Facebook: watch this space! Anyway, the blind bat asks me to modify the advert 3 days in a row which I don’t have a problem with except for the uploading process being so monumentally and unnessisarily time consuming. So me being the caring, idiotic person that I am decides to just ask her to check the whole advert again because they are having down time on the site. Completely not my problem and I just run system adverts in its place. So it in fact benefits me for their advert to be inactive but hey. To this the bimbo of course freaks out as she doesn’t have the brain capacity to decifer the difference between advise and an insult. The conversation whent some thing like this.

BIMBO: Please can you change the numbers again. Oh and change the over 8000 applicants to 9000

SOLITAIRE: Okay but just check the advert to make sure your happy with it coz everytime I change it it takes up to 24hrs to fix.

BIMBO: Well can we change the applicant numbers once a month.

SOLITAIRE: [PLEASE NOTE: over 8000 is also over 9000, and over 9000 is also 10,000.] Yes but you have to understand that it is going to give you down time each time you make a change.

BIMBO: Solitaire, whats your problem? ...................Im the client and frankly your emails are cheeky about the fact I pointed out your mistake so your making me feel guilty because I’m correcting you. Just apologize and get on with it. I don’t give a shit if it takes you 2 weeks to fix it - just fix it. You fucked up with the number so have some cautious response about the responsibility in fixing it. If my boss saw your tone she wouldn’t be very impressed. If this is your tone then rather please remove our advert completely. I don’t think your bosses would appreciate your tone either towards your client. I don’t care how long it takes you just rectify it.

SOLITAIRE: [HUH??] I don’t mind changing it I am trying to give you advise. Here it is anyway.

BIMBO: Okay proceed.

[15 minutes pass]
BIMBO: You know what just cancel the advert.

SOLITAIRE: Dear Ms Scott

The advert is pulled off. The account is still there though as I need to wait until our lead programmer returns to close the account completely.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Regards,

*signature*


I mean seriously what the fuck!!! I mean seriously, I’m doing her a favour and she whants to fuck me over!! Bitch! And then she still wants to move in with me and the bf when the lease is over coz she can’t afford to live on her own as her broke ass bf is too lazy to get a job!! Screw it she can stay in a flat above a roach infested bottle store that is secretly running a prostitution ring for all I care! Or perhaps if I can make a suggestion, a cave in Afghanistan might make a humble abode for the “happy” couple. They will have a place to stay, hell I’ll even pay for the rent!

Anyway I am sure we will work it out or kill each other trying…

The wheel of fortune

So this weekend has been a rater eventful one with it being close to payday and all. But perhaps more eventful than I bargained for. Friday… ahhh who cares what happened on Friday lets just skip to the jucy parts shall we.

Well Saturday we decided to go out for a quick drink. Well a quick drink turned into us getting home at 2 in the morning. Anyway Dave was really trashed and saw this huge fugly guy talking to this girl so he drags me over there once the mofo is gone to ask if that guy is bugging her coz he seems like a real prick… Only to learn that that pricky guy is her boyfriend… This was possibly the only reason we whent home so early in the first place. Was probably a good idea as I had packed away 12 Red square enegisers, 2 jagabombs and a few tequila’s and had more energy in me than the duracel bunny.

Anyway on the way home I was proposed to yup in the car… So romantic… I of course thought this was a good idea at the time, hence caffeine helping you do stupid things faster. When the bf went down on one knee to ask as I got out of the car I ended up falling over him. Which I supposed served its purpose as I discovered we have a major ant problem infesting its self in the cracks of our drive way. The bf of course managed to tell the entire world in his drunken state and the next morning left me with a little more than a hangover. I balled my eyes out when I woke up and had to get mac Donalds to feel better. So that all of you know, I do want to be engaged to my wonderful bf, but I am big into firsts and that was not how I expected it.

Well my entire family knows and I am worried about suffering from a case of “you look like a monumental idiot!”. So the bf goes well then we are. Now this is confusing how can we be engaged to my family and not to his it makes no sense what-so-ever! So now neither of us know exactly what we are. Which leaves us on short sentences and one syllable answers.

I have however decided to ignore the subject completely and see what happens. I will pretend that nothing happened for as long as possible even if it kills me. But I think that not really knowing what is going on in our relationship is the worst.

Last night everything seemed comfortable between us at least. We went to his mom’s house and it all felt comfortable between us again even this morning it all seemed fine. I have also come to the conclusion that we have a sock and stocking monster lurking in our yard he occasionally likes to eat me new clothes too… As everytime I was anything half of it is missing but the bf’s sister knows nothing about it until she wears them 2 weeks later oh well.

My romantic Weekend getaway

Somehow the bf’s sis managed to convince me that it “would be nice” if we meaning me, the bf and the rest of the squatters go on holiday together. I like to think I agreed because I wanted to build the relationships within our humble abode, but I realize now that the more likely reason was that I am just phenomenally stupid. Especially considering the sponger (the sister’s bf) would be joining us). For those of you who don’t know me and the referred to sponger are the best of friends… Okay I am lying but as mentioned before he has no job or any drive to ever find one for that matter.

Mere minutes after we arrived at the fabulous Mamagalie lodge , I began to get an inkling of precisely how tooth-grindingly long the week would be. We had just finished unpacking my vastly overloaded bakkie when the sponge started complaining about everything imaginable. He is of course a professional complainer which is probably part of the reason that he can’t find a job to save his pathetic little life.

Now me and the sponge can take each other in small doses but actually having to spend an entire weekend communicating is something that was just not gonna happen. Especially with the bf around who possibly resents the little rat more than I do. And of course the complaints seem never ending when one is trying to relax.

However all parties concerned I think it turned out to be a fairly good holiday what with the blunders and all. I am assuming that you want to read about the memorable events on the trip and I promise not to complain to much in this part however if you prefer the complaining bitch skip to the end of the blog.

Firstly the accommodation was absolutely beautiful and the bedrooms stunning. Bedrooms that were apparently off bounds this weekend as we had zip, zero, nada, nil, privacy what-so-ever… Even with the romantic for postar red satin bed… We did however take advantage of it even with all the interruptions. Every single time for those of you who really want to know. The sister and the bf were apparently too scared to mess up the beautiful bedding… You’re in the middle of the mountains in a luxurious four star log cabin for Christ’s sake who cares about the bedding! But maybe I am just a non-caring bitch.

Anyway we did manage to scare the shit out of the sponge with a cleverly devised prank that left him screaming like a banshee whilst hopping from foot to foot. The sight was absolutely hilarious and I am deeply disappointed that I did not have the camera in place to film the event. In a nutshell the bf hid under a bed that was in front of their door he scratched on the door whilst I kept them occupied thinking that he (the bf) was with me. When the sister sent her whimpering (no kidding) bf to check what was going on my bf grabbed his leg which produced the above mentioned leprechaun effect.

Then there was the 3 hour hike into nowhere. We were trying to go to the lodges advertised rock pools but to get there is supposedly an hours hike but after being lost in the wilderness for about 2 hours and following the correct trail for an hour, through a maze of dangerous arachnids and the like, we decided to head back to the lodge. As a side note the trip back took us about 30 min, probably as we just wanted to get away from the gigantic spiders.

Once back at the lodge someone had the brilliant idea of horse riding, unfortunately I believe it was me. So we phoned the owner of the lodge, who said it was about 7kms away. Now I donno what he was smoking but I would chew my own arm off if that was 7kms it took us an hours drive before we pulled into a farm which looked like something out of the hills have eyes. We then waited an hour before the ranch hand arrived to take us on a trail.

Now this was an experience that I am never going to forget. We all mounted the horses and it was time to hit the trail. Being somewhat nervous I decided to stay at the back of the group. Bad idea. The sisters bf had no clue how to ride a horse. After about 20min of tip toeing behind him I’d had enough and overtook… Now he is absolutely terrified of chickens. I know you’re laughing… But we all have our phobia’s… Anyway the trail we were following lead us straight through a pack of them… And me being the generous person I am slowed down so the sisters bf could keep up… LOL! In other words I nearly came to a standstill to watch the sponge squirm and shriek for a while longer amongst the chickens. I know I am evil but I am female so it is genetically programmed into me.

I caught up to the rest of the group and after about 15 min was asked to check where he was. Now proof that horses can be evil too. The sponge’s horse had decided to walk about 15m off the trail into the middle of a chicken pen whilst walking the above said sponge into every tree he could possibly find. Now for proof that I am not too evil I went to go fetch the evil horse and drag him out of the pen.

Anyway all in all it was actually a great holiday. And the drive back was somewhat pleasurable with a stop in Harties. To stretch the legs and refill our stomach’s we made it back home unscathed.

Wacky Wedensday

Well things are starting to look up and I can't wait for our upcoming holiday!! I have finally managed to secure a poition on the cricket team... The bf seems happy coz he knows I can actually catch a ball and I can run faster than the other 80kg something girls so it is looking good.

We aree going to Magaliesburg on Friday for a holiday. And I can't wait!! South Africa is not living up to its reputation o being sunny and hot lately as I am freezing my behind off!! But it is generally going well... I am starting car hunting and it should be good fun I can't wait to actually own something of my own...

Anyway I will keep you posted

Pain

So action cricket on Friday was okay... Probably better than usua coz I just got trashed... And then decided to play action soccer with Tash... 30min 1 on1 may seem like a good idea when u've had a bit much to drink but believe me I have been in agony ever since and my calves are still throbbing... Sat was as boring as ever and if I ever need to play another 1st person shooter game it will be too soon!

Yesterday was filled with the usual politics with Al arguing from the moment we got home without us saying a word. But atleast the majority of the day with my mom was not bad.

3 days till holiday I can't wait.

Friday the 13th

Don't you just love how there's this stigma around Friday the 13th. The one that inevitably causes you to have a bad day no matter how much u don't believe in Friday the 13th. Yeah well shit happens right. So as you guys can imagine my day has been absolutely brilliant... Not. So I guess you want to know what happened as it is always great to hear how some1 else is having a worse day...

Well it started yesterday when the bf had to bring up how stupid it was that I am upset about this whole cricket thing... Which every1 at first agreed with him which is to be expected when his version of the story is Mags is pissed at me for playing cricket. When the real version of the story is Mags is pissed at me for playing couples cricket with some blonde slut! Once I explained that the tables soon turned well his sister and his dad agree with me the sisters bf doesn't but he doesn't pay rent so he is not entiteled to an opinion. So we have been ignoring each other since and now are eventually trying to sort it out well atleast I am.  But he is convinced that it isn't a problem so it isn't a problem.  Well I have decided to pretend that every person on the team has a Y chromosone and that noone with a Y chromosone has their gf on the team... Somehow I think this is gonna be more difficult than I allow credit for.

Then of course we have the usual nagging clients which seem to be more bitchy than usual today. For example they send me an A5 advert and want everything on the advert on an animated gif that is industry standard size of 140x140 pixels and is no more than 11Kb... I resized the original advert to 140x140 pixels and was very tempted to send it for approval but then I remembered that I actually do need my job and it is probably not a good idea... I would love to tho...

It is almost 11 and I am already in need of a staunch drink to calm my nerves... But atleast its Friday! I will let you know how the rest of the weekend pans out!

So today didn't turn out too badly the boss is at head office today and has promised to get an answer on when the next build to our website will be finished. Hopefully soon cause I donno how long the i donno question is going to work on the reps who are kinda starting to foam at the mouth and I am starting to worry about being ripped limb from limb. Plus I'm ment to be the so called "webmaster" so I now look like a complete idiot... and if the Reps get hold of me I will be an incomplete idiot as some parts of me will be missing.

Apparently my Facebook account has also started believing I am incapable of making decisions as it is now an Afrikaans Facebook... Last time I checked it was english.

Then there is of course the developing office sopie... In a nutshell a guy got a warning for sexual harrassment of another guy. Which the one who apparently lodged the complaint denies anyway and now they hate each other. I am just gonna stay right here in my corner and ignore it. The whole office has jumped on the band wagon and for some reason I'm thinking its a bad idea to get involved.

Tomorrow is friday the 13th again and after how last months Friday the 13th turned out I'm not sure I wanna relive another one so soon. And tomorrow I get to sit through another 2 hours of "couples" action cricket. I am so not amped...

So last night I had to sit through another 2 boring hours of watching the bf play couples action cricket. Yup u guessed it I am not in the team which wouldn't be so bad if the girls playing were better than me but they are like tice my size and 3 times as unfit... I smoke a pack a day so I am not like the fittest person on the planet but I can run 5 steps without dying. Oh and I don't jump and scream when a ball comes within veiw. The next game is on friday so Tazz has agreed to come with for moral support so in other words we are going to get pissed at the bar and make jokes about the dykes around there...

I did however get some consollation when their team lost by 130 runs... LOL!!! But hey what am I ment to do be happy about the situation. I mean Tazz wouldn't even support him if she was dating him. But I am not her I will just use it as ammo the next time I want something. We had drinks afterwards which was kinda cool...

Well I will let you know how it all turns out....

The party with teeth

Okay so the 21st wasn't too bad but u know when u meet those people who you just get along with too well... Yeah well u end up coming home at 6:30 in the morning and wish u never spent that much cash but not a train smash all is good.

The weekend did convince me and the bf of one thing tho, we are not nerdy enough... Weird I know but we have decided to do more geeky stuff on the weekend to avoid the hangover that goes with the whole jock seen we seem to be dragged into more and more. So we have an XBox LAN this weekend... Okay its not much but it is a start.

Oh and we have also come to the conclusion that it is best that I cook from now on as whatever it was that the bf's twin cooked lastnight could pass as a contact adhesive... No friggen kidding that stuff could hold the Eiffel Tower together I swear.

The WOMF blog is growing at a slow pace at the moment well seeing as it is still in the early adoptive phase it makes sense... But it is now kinda like watching the grass grow blade by blade. And the free advertising on it is harder to give away than it is to sell advertising. People in SA always think that there's a cache.

Anyway I have been spending the last 2 days helping out typing vacancies for the paper so I can now officially say that I have done my bit for the unemployment problem. I typed up like 200 vacancies in the past 2 days, so the next time one of those beggars try tell me their "There is no work" sob story I don't have to feel guilty because they are lying....

So thats about the rundown of my weekend will keep u posted

The wheel turns

Today has been an awesome friday! Firstly no moderation problems besides a few ignorant people which is always good for a laugh, for example Blogger1: "What is everyone's thoughts on pirated movies?"  response by blogger 2: " I didn't really like pirates of the carribean but I'm always up for something new." Yup I have the best job in the world because just as I feel like the day is never gonna end someone comes up with a comment like this and u can't help but laugh.

The second reason why today was good is as my boss is not here I managed to have a proper conversation with Tazz my best friend and catch up on various usual things like Binx broke up with her boyfriend, my ex's financials are going down the drain (Yeah! Considering the @ss hit me about and I left OUR house with nothing other than my clothes, I am allowed to be happy about his slow demise into the abyss.) And the usual other stuff like a mutual friend finding out that he isn't the father of his fiance's child as she is actually an escourt... No fucking kidding I don't believe it my self but whatever. 

Anyway tonight I am meeting one of my good friends Koi for a drink at his chicks 21st. I have never met her so I suppose I'd be kinda gate crashing but he doesn't know anyone there so I agreed to risk it. Anyway I will let you know how that goes on monday. 

The boyfriend is at the moment giving me no hassels which is suprising but again I am not complaining. I think it might have some thing to do with the fact that le' friend is about to arrested for stealing his sisters TV set and a few other valuble items. So we are glad that this friend is MIA for the moment. 

So it is blissful and with approximately 4 hours of work left Life is good
