Fireworks!

Yesterday night was fireworks night! Unfortunately we couldn't buy our tickets in advance (Ellie did but by the time me, Matt and Lewis tried to they'd sold out) so it was £6! It was also raining. Me and Ellie kept our spirits up and yes, maybe I would have preferred not to have gone and saved my money but Ellie had already brought her ticket so we were stuck. Someone had to go with her. So I decided not to complain and just enjoy it. But the boys thought otherwise. The whole way there they pissed and moaned about how wet and miserable they were. It got to the point where I told them to shut up moaning! For goodness sake, I'd never heard a guy moan so much (yes I see where you're going with that in your head, stop right there!). That didn't stop them though. God forbid what would happen if we took them camping!
The fireworks were good in the end. It stopped raining as the fireworks started! They were very pretty and me and Ellie were giggling even though we were both soaked to the bone. Plus, anything involving rockets is always good! We rushed home, freezing cold because of course we'd been standing stationary for a long time.

When we got home me and Ellie decided to look at student houses while Matt played Maple Story(sigh)and Lewis played Fable 2. We found a few potential places and spammed out emails to them all requesting viewings. Fingers crossed!

I got some more work done today. I really had the urge to start a game on Fable 2 as I'd played co-op with Lewis (the co-op is rubbish) and it seemed like a lot of fun. So I did my reading first then started up as a female on Fable 2. I think that's what attracted me to be honest, I don't think I would have played if I didn't have the female option. Odd but true. So as most of my female characters go in video games she ended up looking rather slutty, why is that? Probably because I can't dress like that in real life so am I filling out some sort of deep dark fantasy? Probably. That's what we do in video games after all. We love to play first person shooter because we'll never get to shoot a gun and actually kill something else. So yes, my character had pigtails, a corset and hot pants. So a lot of the villagers were attracted to her! And if I started "flirting" literally a crows of men, and some women, would form with love hearts above their heads. Hmm MGO charm dance anyone?

So anyway I played that for a fair few hours, Matt came round at one point and sat watching me whilst I was on a mission where I had to "seduce Alex". Ha! So I seduced this guy and in almost every mission you get a choice to be good or bad. I've found it's better to be good so I'm following that path. The good option was to marry Alex! So I did. I now have a husband in Fable...the funny thing was I got a family alert from him and what did it say? "Alex wants sex". I'm in the middle of a mission and you want sex?! Typical bloody men! Made me and Matt giggle.

It was 6 o'clock and even though I wasn't that hungry I thought I'd better make some dinner as I hadn't really had lunch! I made spaghetti Bolognaise with actual decent mince this time not 98p mince from Asda (never buying that shite again!) and decent, Lloyd Grossman sauce. It was very nice but the bacon and chilli sauce was pretty spicy! Matt started playing Zelda whilst I was eating. After dinner, Rachel came round to have a look at the houses we were looking at yesterday and I managed to cox Matt away from Zelda for a bit to be involved too. We had a conversation about it which moved onto holidays, which moved onto rape, which moved onto condoms...hilarious how conversation digress!

Later on, Lewis and Emily came round and got some tips off of Ellie so they knew where to look for student housing as they want to live together this year. I'm a bit peeved Lewis won't be living with us because he's a really good friend and I get on with him well plus he has a good taste in games. Maybe not console wise but he does want a PS3 so that's a start! And he loves Timesplitters as much as me! Always a win. In fact we have a lot in common but ah well. I can see why he'd want to live with Emily so fair enough and good luck to them I guess! I just hope he comes and visits once in a while.

Rachel left to do work, Ellie went to bed and me, Emily and Lewis played Brawl together on the Wii. Alex came round and took back his power cable for the Xbox that Lewis was borrowing so we can't play it anymore! Can't believe Lewis got the wrong cable, it's not like Alex's at all and Alex recons it's a fake and he should contact the seller and maybe even report them. Oh dear. Still, at least we know what a real one looks like now! It's just annoying no shops in Kingston sell them! Waiting for post takes forever and obviously you can't check then and there it's the one you need. So no more Fable for a while which is annoying as it was just starting to get good and oh, I'm beating Lewis Achievement wise now! Mwahaha! Only because I'm further ahead than him in Fable. After brawl we watched the new Harry Hills' TV burp on my laptop then everyone went home early. It's a good thing as I'm so tired. God knows why I stayed up to do this blog but it needed doing I suppose. I'm off to bed now before my eyes dry up.
