Once again I return to the web of the world to deliver unto you more information about my London escapades! and oh god did my head hurt after this one lol, been busy busy busy once again, places to go, people to see, the days go so fast im barely finding time to write this!
So I was talking to a friend that used to live in London, they were asking how things were and where I was living, the response after I told them was a bit shocking, how they wouldnt set foot here because of all the gun crime and stuff, im like er..... shit..... er well it doesnt seem that bad, and to be honest, it really doesnt, I've seen more shit kicking off along margate seafront every single night I go out for last god knows how many years, now I know I've only been out a few times but I've not seen anyone kicking off when I've been on the way home yet, but then theres the word... yet. im sure I'll be fine but THANKYOU for putting that niggling doubt in back of my head.
And as for nights out.... oh deary me, so we rewind back to Friday night, we all get out of work and head to the nearest bar, 5 seconds later we arive at the company owned bar lol, it was a long and tirering journey and beers were baught to quench our souls haha. Now every Friday so far I've either not been able to stay because of other plans or only been able to stay for one. But this week there was nothing planned and nice weather to drink outside and socialise, FINALLY! I thought to myself I can start getting to know the peeps I haven't met yet and start to learn some more names, which if you know me, im aweful at remembering so im making extra effort. Quite a few beers go by as do conversations and then there was port and cheese. Slighty confused im not one to say no to free stuff, most certainly not alcohol. Then the beer returned with talk of heading into town, sweet I think to myself, finally I can start exploring the clubs and stuff. At this point I dont think I realised quite how much I had to drink on an empty stomach, see now here is my first mistake of many that night. by the time we finish the taxi ride to soho the drink had kicked in a bit more and totally dont remember the first place we went, and after more beers and shots, not the second or finally third place either. I do remember some dancing from everyone and a good time being had by all and one crazy member of the party jumping from a banister rail to the stage and only just making it, I cant believe we didnt get chucked out or that the bosses could get so rowdy. I think we left about 2:30 or 3ish whenone of the older guys started to run out of steam, I think we were all smashed by then though. I remember getting pointed in the right direction to get the bus and off I went to hunt down the noodle shop I found last time, and upon finding it I was quite happy and well I thought the night had gone, completely obliviouse I had raped my bank balance in doing so. Then we come to the bus home and yet again the bus that I need is no where to be seen for ages *angry face* every 20 mins my arse! so I jump on another that I know take me within very easy and short walking distance...... next thing I know im walking down a road and suddenly realising no... no... this totally isnt where im living. Thats right blacked out on the bus, dont remember getting off at all nor where the left overs from my noodles went that I didnt finish. I nearly completely sobre up in seconds and check the nearest bus stop, I had taken the bus to the end of the line, thats TWICE as far as I need to go. Shout out to my good friend who rang me up after txtin them at silly hours and stopped me from getting lost and panicing. Lucky for me I hadnt walked far from the stops and found the one back which I rode with very wide eyes that were not going to fail me again! By 5AM I was finally tucked up in bed after downing a drink of water. Yay adventure!
Saturday was of course a near complete write off, I had just about managed to feel better and eat something in time to go back out and see my friends band, FEARNE, if you haven't heard of them before then here are links to the youtube and spotify of the band,

Fearne
They are totally awesome and deserve as much support as we can give them! It was good to catch up with the guys from the band, I miss not being local to them, there gigs are always good and full of energy. So cheers for the good night lads! Also I believe my 3D skills might be put to use if i can make up a good bit of CG for the guys to use, maybe a whole songs worth! stay tuned to FEARNE and you might see more.
And then the most awesome day of the week or even whole time in london so far! I found some fellow fire spinners! A whole bunch of them do a monthly meet up for fire down by the thames on a tiny beachy area during a full moon low tide. We had fire hola hoops, poi, staff, fans, rope dart thingy that was kool, and one dude doing fire breathing. There was also plenty of Glow everything as well, the hola hoops leading to some great photos I think. I have many photos and quite a bit of video to get up on my youtube and facebook so check it out if you know me, if not then just google fire poi and you will see what I mean. Damn its been so long I had forgotten how much I LOVE doing fire poi, so lucky someone let me use theirs for a bit. I will have to definatly start going to the weekly meet ups when I can, but as proof of how theres always something to do, my wednesday is already booked to goto the cinema, just not enough days in the week eh?
Which brings me to this week and next, the department lead is off for 2 weeks and on thursday we lose a senior for a week and half. leaving our 5 man team quite weak and with less days to get the work done too! I think the comming days will be a test and one I plan on passing!
So party on people, PARTY ON!
I'll just be over here in the corner finally taking a nap from it all
Adiós!
