Friday Joys

[liadnan]

Praise the Lord for it is Friday. Or do something anyway. I am about to leave Chambers, I am not taking any work whatsoever with me, and I have no intention whatsoever of coming in.

My friend Jen, who I see far too rarely, is down for the weekend to cox in the Head of the River race, so tomorrow is likely to be something of a binge. Tonight, I am just going to quietly go home and lie on the sofa wrapped in a quilt in front of mindless television with a pizza, a bottle of Metaxa and a packet of cigarettes or similar.

Yes, I know, I'm a young man (for values of young which include 30) about Camden Town, working in the City of London where the streets are paved with gold, and it's a Friday night, I should be going clubbing. Well, fuck that for an idea.

(I always hated going clubbing anyway, secretly, I just admit it more openly these days)

i couldn't imagine you clubbing. you just don't seem like a club-goer to me at all. and that has nothing to do with your age.

quiet nights in are often better than nights out.

having said that, i'm really looking forward to going out tomorrow, but that's because i like dancing to bleepy shite like the goth i am..

In the end it didn't end up being a quiet night in at all. I am a man who declaims broad and sensible principles on how he will live his life and then gets distracted by glittery sparkly things.
Don't mind listening to bleepy goth music but I am banned from dancing to it or indeed anything else by International Convention,.

Ha, that's what you think. But in my youth, in the west that is forgotten, I was not unknown in London's dodgier clubs.

truly? you seem to have a far more interesting, varied and adventurous past than i would have guessed.

There are many things about my past I don't discuss on the internet.

perfectly understandable, too.
