Happy Birthday to me
I am now 23.
I few days ago, Joe took me out for Thai food with Frank, Anna, Joe's brother, and his brother's friend (they were visiting from home). We went to the National Gallery for a bit and saw some more paintings that we hav
e to see 'before we die' and then called it a night. On the 11th, Frank and I got up early and went to Trafalgar Square to watch the 8 year old British and Russian grandmasters play chess on a huge board with enormous ice sculpture pieces. Very surreal. I went to work and then out for drinks with the people that I work with. They gave me a £20 gift card to a clothing store. Made me happy to know that they like me. The next morning I had to open and was in a foul mood because of lack of sleep for the past few days. I had a series of rude customers who got me in such a bad mood that I couldn't even sleep once I got home. In an effort to show Joe's brother a good time, we were going to meet with Anna and her boyfriend's friends (they go to school here) at a pub. The pub ended up being more of a club that needed a password. Anna got the password backwards (for the record, it was blue computer, not computer blue) and we were turned away. Went to a pub around the corner and were greeted by a rude bartender who threatened to get us kicked out because he misheard our drink order and made drinks we didn't want. I was so ticked off that I knew I should just go home, so I headed off on my own. Made my first transfer without problem, but as I was sitting on the Jubilee on my way home (totally crowded train), some middle aged guy wearing acid washed jeans and a leather jacket approached me and said"£10 for a migraine?" At least I think that's what he said. I declined, but the guy next to me was interested, offered his £5 and got the privilege of seeing all of the powders and pills the guy had hidden in his jacket. Went to sleep and forgot that day ever happened.
