I found this and thought it was funny!
We slept rough for a week to make sure we got the best theatre tickets!
Dedcation or stupidity?

Don't I look stunning?

Good Ol' Scottish New Year!

The 5 steps to a perfect Scottish New Year!

*Be Happy

*Get Pished

*Kiss Everyone

*Cry

*Stumble home

Oh how I wish my night was that simple. How could it have been? I'm so messed up.

All day I worried about the night ahead, the socialising, the people, the pleasantries- I clammed up everytime they ran through my mind.
I worked in the pub until nine and when I finished I planned to go home.
No such luck.
I stayed, I had a glass of wine and I was under.
Under the spell that takes me every time I drink.


2 Bottles later I had settled in.
The world seemed a much happier place.
Laura came and we seemed to be having a good time, the bells was fantastic, the atmosphere in the pub was electric, everyone was having a great time, including me!
I felt amazing, all my friends were around me and this girl called Claire who is the new Kitchen Manger's girlfriend was having a good time with us. I like Claire, she's cool, proper nice lassie.

The band were fantastic, everyone was dancing, kids were running about screaming like they should!

After the bells I started to feel strange, down, out of sorts.
So I sat in the corner trying to compose myself.
But it was too late.
It had me.
I began to cough, gulp, gasp and wheeze.
Before I knew it, my whole throat had closed and all I could expel was a squeak.
Claire looked over and I managed to catch her eye and mouth "please".
I was dragged outside and she knealt in front of me,
sitting down I was still struggling and beginning to get tired. But Claire perservered and eventually my breathing slowed and I could talk again.
First thing she said was
"Fucking hell, you panic like me, you just have no idea how to control it!"
I just sat and looked at her, I didn't understand, was she trying to tell me she feels like me?
A smile emerged and I whispered "really?"
"Yes" she replied whilst handing me a fag!

That was weird.

We haven't really spoken so mch since then but when she came through on Friday I could see the empathy in her eyes.
She muttered "You ok sweetheart?" and I kinda nodded.
I still feel really stupid.
Laura has been the ony one that knows for so long and it's strange to let someone else in.
But I like her, I feel I can trust her.
Is this a good thing?

Overall, remarkabley.....it was a good new year, one of the best!
Thanks to my Lolaaaa! (Laure you love being called that!)
