I thought I might have a go at keeping a diary for a while. Not sure how long I'll bother with it, but I'll try and keep it updated fairly regularly.
Here's my last week or so as best as I remember it.
FRIDAY 02/08/13
Went out to my regular bar, met a couple of new wingmen who seemed pretty decent. On the way to get a drink I bump into a French girl I almost always bump into on Fridays. I chat to a Dutch girl for a bit who was talking about how she works for Roots Manuva. I’m fairly sure that was bullshit but she’s good fun so we hang out for a bit. Nothing really happens though.
I end up chatting with the French girl some more. We make out a bit. She’s there with another girl, who’s now hanging out with some guy. It also turns out we live in the same area, so at the end of the night we head back together.
At this point I’m fairly drunk so I can’t remember specifics. The long and short of it was that the other guy fucked off and she didn’t want to leave her friend and go back to mine. I have no idea why I didn’t just go back to hers since it’s 10 minutes from mine. But hey, I was drunk.
SATURDAY 03/08/13
I wake up with a horrible hangover. I make myself a coffee and watch the Simpsons, before remembering that in an act of terrible planning I’d arranged to meet a girl at Waterloo in the afternoon. I decide to brave the hangover instead of cancelling and head out the door.
I randomly met this girl at a gig a while back, and we chatted about how we’d never really explored London. We wander round for a bit, then realise we’re near something called the Hunterian museum. Neither of us knew what it was, so we went in. Turns out it was two floors of the creepiest shit I’ve ever seen. Phoetus skeletons, dissected phoetuses in jars, human skulls, dead animals, organs… it was like taking a girl to a serial killer’s house…while hung over. Oddly enough it didn’t dampen the mood that much, but we decide to leave the exploring at that.
We spend a few hours mucking around, wandering down the South Bank, having a couple of drinks, then we head back to mine to watch a film. We get back to mine, have sex, then watch a b movie about Nazis on the moon before she heads home.
Not a bad day.
MONDAY 05/08/13
A pretty cute black girl came round mine that night to hang out. Wine, TV, that old chestnut. We’d met up before and it was now becoming pretty obvious she was holding out from having sex, despite the fact that she normally doesn’t, because she thinks I’m boyfriend material. She tries to appease me with a handjob and I tell her to just leave it. She hangs out a bit more and I take her home. Not contacting her again. We were clearly out for different things from it, and I don’t see any reason why I should indulge that kind of game playing.
THURSDAY 08/08/13
Quiet night tonight. I meet up with an old wing from last year and catch up with him for a bit. I chatted with some German girl about our maths degrees. We got on pretty well, and separated from her mates to hang out for a bit. We made out a little, but she wanted to head off with her mates and I was tired. I took her number and pretty much left it at that.
FRIDAY 09/08/13
Out again in my regular place. I get in and two of the guys I’m out with are chatting with the French girl last week. I excuse myself for being a drunk arsehole and say I don’t remember a lot of it later on. I hang there for a bit, but the conversation starts to get a little gamey for my taste, so I head off for a beer. I meet up with the guy I was meant to be heading out with and we start wandering round on the mack as per usual.
After a while of wandering round chatting to random people I start chatting to two Portugese girls. My mate chats with the other one and we all somehow get separated. Me and the girl make out a bit. I stole someone’s beer.
I get a text from my mate saying he’s heading off. The portugese girl’s friend was getting into some Irish guy now, so we decided to head off. Turns out she lived right near mine too, in student halls. She was proper hesitant about coming back to mine though, and ended up getting off at her stop. This annoyed me a bit, mainly because I was drunk again and it was eerily similar to last Friday. I get home, have a beer and chat to my doorman about how bitches be trippin.
SATURDAY 10/08/13
I wake up to find some disturbing stuff on my phone.
The first was a drunk facebook message at 5.30am from the French girl. It read:
what the fuck did you said tonight ? like you don't remember last friday until you arrived to Bermondsey ?! Too bad for you, but you preferred to say that you were too drunk, that is a good excuse for you. You're just a coward. but you know you didn't had to say that actually because I don't expect anything from you, too bad because you were a great kisser. Anyway, good night Tom
I message her back telling her to calm down, and said sorry if she took it the wrong way but I meant nothing by it. She sent me an embarrassed apology later on, and I told her not to worry about it. I’ve done far worse when I'm drunk after all.
The second thing I woke up to was that I’d arranged to meet a girl on Saturday afternoon again. She Portuguese girl from last night. Ugh.
I haul myself out the door and head to meet her. It was actually a lot of fun, we just wandered round a few pubs then went back to mine. We got halfway through watching 500 days of summer on the TV, then ended up having sex.
I taught her how to make a cosmopolitan and how to escape a headlock (not simultaneously) then we watched road to perdition which I couldn’t be arsed with.
She headed off around 11, and I spent the rest of night catching up on Breaking Bad.
I got another drunk message from the French girl at 3am telling me she lost her iphone and asking how my night was. I’ll need to keep an eye on that.
