Apparently, 24 is a great series. I wouldn’t know as I’ve never had the pleasure or inclination to watch a single episode for one reason. This rambling isn’t about the series 24, however. It’s about the fact that this Saturday, the 16th of July in the year 2005, I am going to turn 24 years of age! It’ll be the oldest I’ve ever been, physically, but I may have acted older once or twice in my life to get through certain situations.
My twin brother also becomes the grand old age of 24, so at least I’ve got someone to share it with. This year more so in fact, as I’m abandoning the other person in my life that I share my birthday with (Jo) to be with David and all the other boys and girls in Norwich. There is a party happening in Nottingham, but it’s more a celebration of Jo and Nikki turning 22. Nikki is my other housemate who has her birthday on July 17.
They’re having an 80s themed party. It’s not really my cup of tea anyway, but as a lot of my friends will be here, it’s going to be odd not seeing them. I have my reasons, and they’re damn good ones. People have tried to tell me to not let it get to me and stick around. I really don’t think I can do it. Someone’s going to get hurt, and it’s most likely to be me. I’ve been hurt enough lately. I’m learning the hard way, but the point is I’m learning. I really do hope the party is a success and that everyone manages to enjoy it without me ;o). Jo’s a good person. She deserves to enjoy it.
Anyway, back to Norwich. I’m not sure what the plan is. I can’t travel down until the Saturday afternoon because of a potential house of the future viewing with Dave. Dave is hopefully one of the two people I’ll be living with in the next year or so. I’ve only met him a couple of times, but we seem to be getting along well. Same goes for Kate, who is the other one of the two people. I met them a couple of weeks back at a Starbucks Cafe in a Waterstones bookshop. I’ve never met anyone in a coffee house before, but it seems to me like a darn good way to meet people.
Where was I? Oh yeah, so I’m travelling down to Norwich where there is some sort of thing happening on Saturday night, as arranged by the wonderful Miss Victoria Postle (David’s female sidekick). I don’t know any of the details, but I always manage to have a great time when I go to see them. Every single time. It’s nice to have somewhere like that. I’ve not spent my birthday with David properly for 2 or 3 years. I spent those 2 or 3 years celebrating with Jo. I don’t regret it. They’ve all been great. This one will be good too.
I hope I have a happy birthday!
