my big KRRRAAAAZZZZZYYYYY Weekend!

Well, well, well. What an interesting weekend I have had! Right where do I start!?!?!

Well on Thursday afternoon I went and booked a table for me and David at the Outsider (the restaurant that my beloved manages). I called ‘em up and I said

I’d like to make a reservation for two for tomorrow night..

Then the nice chap on the phone was like…

We have a table at 7pm in the smoking area and a table at 9.30pm

Damn it! Damn! I was so close to saying do you know who I am? I’m Ben’s girlfriend!!! I demand a better time and a better area YOU FOOL!!! But I didn’t….I said I’d call my friend and ask him what he wanted to do…7pm was cool with David so I phoned the Outsider back and booked my table. I was gonna tell Ben, but I thought that there really wasn’t a lot that he could do about it anyway.

Friday. The day I’m to see Greg for the first time in a year and the first time EVER that I meet The BML!

Work was alright. Blah blah blah. I’m sure nobody’s interested in that, so I’ll skip the crap!

Got home just after 6pm. Reservation at the restaurant was at 7pm, not to much time, but for the first time ever I knew what I was wearing cuz I had planned it all the night before, so there was no way that I was gonna be late…or so I thought.

Got a taxi up to the restaurant, phoned David to say that I was gonna be late and that he should just go in and get a drink. I also tried phoned the Outsider to say that I was running late but nobody answered the bloody phone! I will be having things to say!!!

I eventually got there 10 minutes late, fell out the taxi in the pissing rain and was greeted at the door by Ben...*sigh*

He said You never said that you were coming (like it would have made a difference?)

Well, you know, just a last minute thing you know…?

Baby, you’re supposed to tell me these things, I could of gotten you a better table (yeah, cuz that makes all the difference as well!) and I could made sure you didn’t have to…well you know? (pay darlin’?)

I just smiled and let him take my jacket, kissed him on the cheek and said that it was no big deal…

And by the way, you look stunning…

*BIG GRIN*

Me and David were seated upstairs, which was cool, we could look down at all the people eating below us and it was nice and intimate.

I like chatting to David, He’s one of those other people I feel I can be myself with and I always have a great time with him…although, may be I’m being silly, I don’t think he feels the same way…I dunno.

Anyho’, we were waitin’ on our food and Malcolm (owner of the restaurant) comes over and was like

How’s it goin’ kids, OMG I’m sooooo loving the on dangly earring thing you have goin’ on! It’s sooooo Janet Jackson Rhythm Nation! (I knew someone would notice!).

People that worked at the restaurant that I had met kept coming over and saying hi. But the funny thing was, I couldn’t remember half their names!!! I felt like such a fool! But they introduced themselves anyway, making my life soooo much easier, but I had to say sometin’

David, I’m not being rude by not introducing you to them, it’s just that I can’t actually remember their names!

He just laughed at me…

We go our food started to eat then Ben came over and asked if every thing was alright, and it was. He then asked David if he liked red wine, David’s replay was somethin’ like yeah, Ben didn’t have to ask me, I HATE white wine. HATE IT! So lucky me and D got a bottle of the best red wine for free…..which I ended up drinkin’ over three quarters of.

The food was gorgeous and we shared a dessert. The only thing that bugged me was the waitress in the short skirt…that always gets to me….

Headed over to the club just after 9.30 and meet Greg and Imran and their mate Alan. We got in and they were already dancing away (All Night Dancer comes in to mind now). I was a little pissed by the time that we got in but I was cool. I had never been to the Establishment on a Friday night and I thought it was great, must go again.

By now I had totally forgotten how to be nervous and I was cool.

I can’t remember what time The BML and her friend Darina got in, but they almost got refused entry…but luckily Greg saved the day (evening?) as he is a regular and the bouncers let the girls in.

From here I can’t really remember the order of events. I remember being in the ladies toilets looking for a hand drier to work so BML could dry/straighten her hair (damn rain!! I feel you distress girl!) but no….so I think I jokingly suggested that we go over to the men’s lol! We went to the men’s toilets end every guy in their just looked at us as if we were crazy! We were simply looking for a working hand drier simple as that….anyway the security guard came in and told us to get out (sod). So we went back to the ladies found a hand drier that worked (about bloody time!). Sweet wee BML sat under the hand drier while I kept the (useless) thing working.

The BML is very sweet!

Awww, look at J, J is sooooo cute, how cute is J…..

I have never been called cute sooooo many times in my life! Me wants to give The BML a huge hug!!!!

The BML also kept on buying me JD’s and Cokes…3,4 I can’t remember, what can remember is thinkin’

This girl is trying to get me drunk!

What else happened…..um, there was this big guy that wouldn’t leave the BML alone, may be my judgment was slightly skiwiff but it looked pretty freaky to me, so I charge over and was like

Right, fuck off mate she’s not interested in you,..

His response was

Muh muh muh blah blah bluh

I dunno what he said he was a gibbering bull shitting wreak….

David and Imran left before us and I think we all left about 30 minutes later and headed over to the lovely Darina’s. First Greg and Alan went to the chippie to get some chips while me, Darina, and BML waited on the corner for them in the pissing rain poor BML’s kinky bits, it was sooo funny, wee BML couldn’t stand up so we propped her against the wall….otherwise all three of us girls would have been on a heap on the pavement!

Went over to Darina’s which (thank god) was just round the corner. Hauled the BML’s arse up the stairs and crashed in the living room…

I want my hair straighters I heard the BML wail….I have to get rid of the kinky bits….

Jesus, I can’t even remember what happened so I shall do a list

Offered BML Coke (as in Coca Cola you fools!)

BML wanted diet coke

I suggest that we make diet coke by adding water to it (it’s the god honest truth! Diet Coke is watered down Cola!)

BML was hesitant to drink it at first, but then did.

BML wanted hair straighters….Darina hid them

We said something about Cameron from Big Brother and said something about Orkney

I called BML Orkney by mistake

Greg kept flicking water on the BML

BML was not amused

I began to feel really sleepy and my head HURT LIKE HELL! And prayed that if I stayed still and pretended to sleep I would be aloud to crash (‘vince J was kinda right).

BML begged for straightners again!

Potatoes and Pogo sticks (!?!?!?)

Greg and Alan went home

I crashed on the sofa

BML slept on the floor in a sleeping bag

Darina went to bed.

It was a lovely evening….

Woke up @ 10am and Darina was up also, she was telling me about the times she went abroad to see Michael Jackson with BML. It sounded like sooooo much fun. Meh hee! I got to hold a pic that MJ had signed!!! That’s a big deal to me! The (hung-over) BML woke up and sat with us and tried to figure out what had happed the night before.

I had no plans for the day, and Darina and BML where gonna go into town for lunch and I was invited (woo hoo) so I went home to get changed and straighten hair and met the girls in town for 1pm and the lovely Greg was invited also (yippie). We went to The Hard Rock Café, me being a HRC virgin was well fascinated by the pics of Steve Tyler and Jon Bon Jovi! And Darina told is loads of interesting stuff about HRC cuz she used to work in one!

We trailed around town pretty aimlessly…I stupidly suggested that we headed to the Royal Mile…but was pretty much bored of it before we even got their. Greg had to go off and get ready for work and the three of us sat at a bench and moaned at how tired we were, people around us were playing catch with a rugby ball and I was shitting myself with fear as I had visions of this thing hitting me on the head not to long after I went home and so did Darina and The BML.

I had an AWESOME time over those two days. I really should see Greg and Imran a lot more, they’re fun! And they get it whenever I do a Michael dance move, they might laugh at me but the point is that they get it. It was great to FINALLY meet The GORGEOUS BML, she’s soooo much more funnier and sweeter than I imagined her to be, no matter what she’s says about her self she’s not a numpty she couldn’t be if her life depended on it. And Darina, what can I say, well thank you for letting me crash at your house would be a good place to start. It was defiantly appreciated! I would like to meet up with her again in the very near future, she’s soooooooo lovely!

I plodded of home through town, got home just after 5.30pm, striped, crawled into bed, fell asleep until 11.30pm woke up again at 11.30am the next morning! Somebody was tired huh! Looked at my phone and saw that I missed 4 calls from Ben! Got up, went to the shops bought bread and cheese and proceeded to make myself cheese on toast and LOTS OF IT!

Fell asleep again. Woke up did laundry and watched Sex and The City. Kati called and we were on the phone for something like 2 hours! She had a great holiday apart from the fact that she got robbed.

Spoke to Ben, who was still not happy with the fact that I didn’t tell him I had booked a table, I explained it was because I didn’t want him going out of his way for me, and sometime I feel that I don’t deserve special treatment all the time…

He’s still not happy with me.

So that was my exciting weekend!
