Saturday night was a huge night for all of us who turned up at Stevie B's,Long-Haired Tom's and Daves's place on South Street...it was one long-assed,funk-filled party full of drum and bass,techno,house and general off-one's-face sort of messiness....possibly one of the best house parties I've been to in yonks....then again,I always have a good time at that flat! Roll on the next one!

Went for Advising and Matriculation yesterday..first bit of university-related stuff I've had to do since coming back. Of course,it didn't go all that smoothly...bloody uni's supposed to be so organised and yet they somehow managed to mildly mess things up for me, a 4th yr student.....needless to say,it left a somewhat bitter taste in my mouth.
Apart from that,yesterday was the first time in the past week that I made a conscious decision not to drink or go to the pub....instead,I watched a very good but very twisted movie called "happiness"....go watch it and weep...
Anyhoo,it's friday today so we'll see where the wind takes me.

It's been strange coming back. I came back to terrible news.I found out upon returning a few days ago (from Bec my flatmate) that a friend of ours', Leon, had just passed away in a car accident in France. He was travelling with some folk from St Andrews....I've known Leon since my first year. In fact, he was one of the very first people I remember having a chat with in John Burnet Hall, the hall we both lived in. Leon was quite a character. He was always laughing (my word,his laughter made others laugh too!), drinking champagne and smoking marlboro lights.....and he always wore shirts (they were often PINK!!!)...I was there the very first night he joined the chemical generation and I was there the many other times we partied together.....2 days ago, Malcolm (his 1st yr room mate) and I went to the pub and talked abt Leon. It all felt very surreal(very much like that scene in trainspotting when they're sitting abt drinking in the pub after tommy's funeral)..only in this case, Leon was very much real and very much gone....Leon,I only wish I'd told you how much I appreciated your friendship and your company the last time I saw you. One day,I'll see you in Heaven and we'll party together again. In the mean time, I'll keep listening to Frank (Sinatra) and all that funk and soul you loved so much...and I'll think back with fondness to all the wicked times we had.....You will be missed mate.

Oh silly me! I forgot to give shout outs to all the folk who made this an amazing summer....for once I didn't complain all that much about spending most of the summer in Spore (yes, I did go to Hong Kong and Bintan, I know!)....I had a wicked time hanging out with my boys....my tennis crew,my supper crew, my drinking crew...y'all know who u are...and the new folk I had the pleasure of getting to know..u guys made my summer too...THANK YOU to everybody who made this summer a success, we couldn't have done it without you.....and to those I didn't get the chance to meet up with, my apologies I offer to you....sorrysorrysorry...I wish there was 4 of me so you all could have as much tim-loving as u wanted....I will make it up to you guys somehow....in the mean time, keep having it large everybody, "On and On till the Break of Dawn!"hahahahahahahaha!

Yikes.......I leave tomorrow night. Back to the l'il fishing village I love so much. Back to my other life. Back to St Randys......and what really cuts me up is the fact that this could well be the last time I ever return to the UK (from Spore) as a student....it sounds cheesy but time has well and truly flown by. I am anxious, excited, sad, happy and a myriad other emotions about returning to the Bubble which I've lived in the past 3 years.....This is going to be one sweetbittersweet return alright........*cue Toys 'r' Us music: "I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys'r' Us Kid.....yadayadayada"

This is one of those photos in which everybody looks good, including the random girl whose face appears between mine and Jeff's....by the way,that's me on the left. Jeff is in the middle and Shervin is on the right. This photo was taken the night before Jeff left our humid shores. I wonder when I'll next see him......everybody seems to be leaving.Ish leaves tonite and I leave this coming sunday. A little birdie whom I'm missing flew off last week and there're others stuck here who I wish I'd made the effort to hang out with but didn't get to due to circumstances and my sheer laziness....a thousand and one apologies folx!!!!! I wish I could teleport.

I wish I could just disappear into a big black hole. I hate the paranoia which is killing me.The guilt,the nervousness...all these things I can so do without. I just want to get out of this country,I want to be away from it all......on a slightly happier note,this picture always makes me smile.
