Tuesday, June 1

Ali said I had to blog, so here I am. I don't know why she's so bothered about me blogging, since she's the only person who seems to care, and she knows pretty much everything what with living in the same house. If that makes any sense.

So, hmm, what have I been up to? Many, many exciting things. So many that it's really hard to actually blog about them. *sigh*

I last posted a week and a bit ago. Hmm.

On Friday Ali went to Wales, so Rob and I were all alone. Ooooer. So we tried to do constructive things.

Friday evening we went to the cinema and saw Van Helsing, which was okay... I mean, it was good. It just wasn't great. It looked pretty.

The most exciting thing about Saturday was that Rob took me to a Goth club. It was the first time I'd been clubbing, and I went to a Goth club. Weird. And what made it weirder was the fact I borrowed some of Rob's clothes and he helped me do my nails. I mean, that's more than a little surreal.

The club itself was quite fun. Probably a lot less scary than normal dancey type clubbing. It was smaller than I thought it'd be, and dark and smoky. And loud. Which in some ways is exactly what I'd have imagined a Goth club to be like, if I'd thought about it. We sat on a little sofa thing and listened to the music, and watched people dance, and I clung to Rob quite tightly, just in case he left me all alone. Not that he would have done that. He clearly wanted to dance though. Maybe I'll be brave enough if he takes me enough times.

I am trying to get together some Goth clothes and things though. I'm trying to find my inner Goth. Hehe. I'm more of a tomboy-esque clothes covered in buckles type Goth, I think. I'm severely tempted to buy some boots. Possibly these ones. They're a lot of money, but it was pointed out that they'd probably last forever. They're cool... Ali wondered whether stompy boots are part of the Goth/Geek crossover. It seemed that there was a crossover, you see. Both types of person are very shy, but one sort hides in their room, and the other hides under a sort of disguise in order to go out. Of course, there are probably exceptions within both categories, but it's something to think about. Probably.

So that was the fun weekend things from a week ago. A lot of the past week seems to have been taken up with moving into our new flat. Well, moving Rob into the flat. I can't move in until we're married, obviously. But it's fun sorting things out for our new life together, and he'll be even closer to our house than he is now. Which is good. So we've been buying essential things for the place, and trying to make it more homely. We have to dismantle the bed that's in there and move Rob's kingsize bed in, which will not be fun considering it's on the top floor of a 3-storey terraced house.

That's about it, really. I may take some pics of the flat. There are probably things I've forgotten. I must have done many, many things in the past week, after all. :)

You people could always add your thoughts about the boots. And indeed the whole Goth/Geek thing.

Or not. ;)

I have been mostly.... READING: utopia (lincoln child) / WATCHING: friends (c4); neighbours (bbc 1) / LISTENING: timo maas / PLAYING (PC) star wars galaxies
