So it's *that* day again. This time last year I was in Spain and the year before that I was in Vietnam.
I'm not sad, I'm not bitter. I'm actually feeling great today; very very glad that I'm not with JW anymore although I would probably be in Cuba today if I was! And that's the only downside of us splitting up.
Anyway, I'm not here to dwell on the past but to ponder the future. And an interesting one it might be.....I'll get there.....
Went to a jam night and played with RM again last night. Once again we stole the show with 2 short sets that comprised A Hard Day's Night, Overwhelming Me, I Dreamt I Told A Joke..., Help! then My GF's Dead, Free World, our patented Carrie-Anne ~ La Bamba ~ Twist And Shout medley then Johnny B. Goode ~ Dizzy Miss Lizzy. Rock! KA was there, had a brief chat.
Went to club afterwards. Did the old aftershock challenge with the girl who introduced it to me. Also did same challenge with someone who claimed to be called Jane but was blatantly obviously lying! And I refrained from sleeping with someone whom I definitely shouldn't by saying various things about myself that were not true! And I'm sooo glad I did today as it worked.
Actually I hate myself sometimes. I hate myself for last night despite kind of doing the right thing. But I shouldn't get into these situations in the first place. I digress...
...woke up this morning. Got myself a gun. No wait.....that's a song. I did wake up this morning though-to a simple text message from LT asking how I was. The only thing that makes me wonder about said message is the timing. I have a great friendship with her; she is one of the most secretive people I know yet she told me something she's only ever told one other person and that was her "boyfriend" of the time. Anyway, I responded, blah blah blah etc. As I was still drunk I decided to send a rough demo of the song I wrote about her and I ('MI').
a) she liked it!
b) She was especially thankful as she said it had been long time since she'd received a gift on valentine's day! Bearing in mind that this is probably the best looking woman on the planet and you can imagine how shocked I was. So shocked in fact that I went straight on the internet and sent her some flowers. Ordered at 11:30am; delivered at 2:30pm. Pretty good service to say the least.
I might be a cock sometimes but every now and then I do do the right thing. The strange thing is that before I'd even got the text message from LT I'd boldly claimed on facebook that "very very very occasionally I do the right thing". Then I went and did just that!
That's why I'm feeling great. I'd rather be single and happy on valentine's day than coupled up and sad. I forgot to mentioned that JW and I argued, or more accurately I got repeatedly shouted at for various things in both Vietnam (07) and Spain (08). And I'm pretty confident I would have got shouted at today too.
Happy Valentines Day y'all x
