this and that

Lots of stuff has happened recently so I will start from the beginning! The closing down party was good fun, although it wasnt very busy! Saw Imogen which was good fun! Everyone convinced me to go out after the pub closed, and Imogen was going so i didnt say no... lol... Had way too much to drink, and ended up going to Imogen's, with Ron and Andy. From that moment on, things get hazy. I remember sitting down on her sofa and thats about it! apparently I threw up in her living room, and i mean properly, sprayed Ron, Imogen's housemates laptop, and the living room, I kinda remember being carried outside to a taxi and me noticing it was daylight outside, and the next thing i remember is waking up in the pub, 10am on Sunday morning!

Ive apologized to Imogen, and I really am sorry! I never drink that much, and I dont know why I did it! It doesnt make a good impression when you're trying to pull! lol! Anyway, Did an AFD on sunday, sold the last of the beer, and sold a load of the pub stuff. Then went in on monday to help pack up the bar etc for the refurb. At the end of Monday James finally shows his face and asks to see me in his office for a word. Im thinking its to do with working over the refurb, was I in for a surprise.

James has fired me without actually saying I'm fired! Basically, he's got no work for me during the 4 weeks of the refurb, and when the pub reopens he doesn't think i will "fit in" with his new image he's trying to create! What a load of bull shit! How does he think i wont fit in, when he doesnt even know what its gonna be like when its re-opened. Anyway, Got paid the friday after for the work ive done plus holiday pay and one extra week. Its not as much as I was expecting, but it was a nice pay slip!

That Saturday, I brought a new I-Pod touch, and paid off Megan for my guitar and amp. Brought the essentials etc, and I've basically spent all my money... But I should hear back about a job at the Britannia in Headington by tomorrow, with thanks to Rahim. He's friends with the area manager and put me in touch with Tony, the general manager of the pub. Its got real career prospects, and hopefully I can make assistant manager within 2 or 3 months. We will see.

Been spending some time with a certain someone, not mentioning names. But its been fun, and will hopefully remain being fun! hehe.

My only other problem at the moment is finding something to do to entertain myself, Im finding everything and everyone boring at the moment, and if i really think about it, this is usually the first sign of my depression, but im not depressed :S Dont know what to make of it! Hopefully it will all sort itself out! Lets just see... Got download soon, cant wait for that, but still need to buy a tent and stuff!!!!

More later!

fucked it up... big time!

a few things to mention! Last Sunday I finally got my tattoo... after sitting on the design for the past 7 years, its on my upper right arm! pictures are on my myspace, bebo, and facebook!

I totally fucked things up tonight! James and Alex (James is an ex barman from across the road (kukui) and Alex is a bar back) came into the pub with a cute girl (Steph) yesterday, and I really like Steph, tonight, Alex and Steph both came back in for a few drinks before work, and invited me, Jen, Hannah and Daniel over... so we went over, and Alex pointed out the girl she liked to me, so i jokingly said I would go to speak to her for her. Alex then started shouting at me, telling me not to, and I put an ice cube down her top... This is where it all blows out of proportion and Ive now been accused of trying to expose Alex. I'm sorry, shes a friend, and I would never ever do that to her! It also means that its ruined my chances of getting with Steph as well! Im just hoping I get a chance to appologise, and make things right!

Not much else to say... my tattoo stings! Pub closes on Saturday, which is good! Already got the tap bar stripped of things etc!

Will write later, after the closing down party on saturday!

refurb

Finally gotten the date of closing for the pub! 18th May! Considering we were originally going to close the day after St Patricks Day (17th March) two months later its finally happening. Should, if all things go to plan, be closed for about 4 weeks, and open again around the 16th June, which is when i have my week and a half off for download festival! The weekend we are meant to be closing is also Truck festival, which James is working, so not sure how hes going to manage the festival and the closing of the pub on the same weekend, dont think he's thought about it though. Will have to mention it to him tomorrow at work!

In other news, well... there really isnt any other news! im still scraping by, life flying past my window as I watch it all wither away in front of me. Did go to the cinema with Kayleigh to see the new Xmen film, which, by the way, is utterly fantastic!

More later!
