I can cook! I never knew!

I cooked a meal for my girlfriend for Valentines Day, I knew it would be a romantic gesture but I had no idea how it would turn out. My entire cooking experience has been limited to pasta and sauce and things that go 'ding' in less than five minutes. However, a quick perusal of a Jamie Oliver cookbook and...

Man, my friends are fucked up. I'm not being harsh! I love them! It's just that recently I've become the shoulder for a shedload of people. It's nice that they trust me, but it's also a big responsibility. So many times recently I've heard "please don't tell anyone this but...." and something tragic or traumatic is revealed to me. Now I keep my word, nothing...

Ellie and I are back together! Now, I'm of the variety that when I hear of a couple getting back together I'm always careful to take a pinch of salt. If it is such a good thing then why did you break up in the first place? Good point, and I've been thinking about this a lot and finally come to this conclusion:

Basically we...

Feeling a bit funked today. Peaks and troughs, swings and roundabouts, fuck if my mood swings get any more severe I may have to check to see if I've hit the menopause.

Found a copy of some stuff I wrote to Ellie over Christmas. I'm still crazy about her, I've been trying to move on but I've really just been in denial.

She doesn't want...

Pathetic attempt at making my half nine lecture this morning.

I'm feeling much better now I've had that lie-in. It might also be because I met a really nice girl called Hatty last night. I came into the bar quite late last night and I noticed the addition to are group straight away...

What a horrible weekend. The necessary evil that is work and overtime. Not happy. Must sleep.

Well yesterday was pretty fucking awesome! Had a great day and managed to survive the all-day drinking. Thank you all who came out, hope you had fun.

You know you're getting old though when you get about 20 pairs of socks and pants and you're actually really grateful. I think it maybe illegal to buy your own underwear, it's only allowed as a gift at...

All the 2s, 22.

To be honest I knew being 22 would be a bit underwhelming. Not much really happens and the last few years have been immense and actually held significance, this one is nothing.

18 - Drink, vote, move out etc.
19 - Gap year, had loads of money to get wasted
20 - No longer a teen, first birthday at uni
21...

So Ellie and I have broken up.

I know, I was pretty surprised too, it's only been a couple of weeks so how bad could it be? Well, Ellie was always remarking how it was very strange for her to have a boyfriend. She's very free spirited and that was part of the attraction. Apparently though she is so free spirited that the idea of...

Went Salsa dancing last night

Ellie and I went for our first proper date last night and we had a great time. I am so not coordinated as I thought I was, but it was a laugh and hopefully we'll go again.

I've got my last ever exam this afternoon! Will be very drunk later and be staggering about town. Then it's my old flatmate's...
