My arm hurts, but that's okay

Today was Hirah's party! I met Hirah at this summer school two years ago, and we have spoken on msn a lot but not seen each other since! She invited myself and Vicky to her birthday party, and we've been deliberating all week whether or not we could go because we didn't know how to get there.
So Hirah sent us these really strange instructions, telling us how to get there from birmingham, and we decided we would go after all. First, Vicky and I met up near my house and we got the bus. I'm always a bit worried about being with Vicky. See on the one hand I really respect her because she's completely comfortable with her personality but is very straightforward she wont pretend she agrees with you just to get along so it's a bit scary. Also I'm always worried we wont have anything to say to each other...because we only made friends this year really. But it was cool. We always have a surprising amount in common.
Anyway, we got the bus into the town, I tried to ask for a day saver, and managed to say "can i have one of those special tickety things," while vicky muttered "adult day saver" to me.

We reached town and Vicky managed to get us on the bus, we made a big deal of trying to explain where we were going, because Hirah's instructions didn't say, so we were like "uhmmm..we're supposed to get off after we see a Lidl and a DFS" etc, and eventually I blurted out "Moseley Village!" and the bus driver was like coooool. So then we sat down. And on the seats next to us there was this guy with a skateboard.

So the instructions said we should go out of town, and we were like hmm are we out of town yet, cause we could SEE town, but we were still in a pretty town like place. So I'm all "Are we in town?" And I saw that guy sitting across and was like "hey dude?" And he looked up! which I took as a good sign and started to ask him if he thought we were still in town. He said maybe, but then we got talking. Didn't help that Vicky was hysterical behind me.

Eventually he got off the bus and waved at us. It was great. I'm glad there are people like that in the world.

Then we managed to get off at the right stop by some miracle, and we trekked to Hirah's house. Her house is awesome, her room is like some shrine for hello kitty. I had a great time there was a bouncy castle and I sang Tainted Love on karoke!!! Me! Karoke! Vicky was the quietest I have ever seen her, but she seemd to be enjoying herself too which is good.

Hirah's parents gave us a lift back to the station and then we caught buses Vicky was very nice and waited with me. Birmingham is nice at night all dark and everything is lit up and the air is cold but good. I liked it very much.

I had a good day :)
