Shoguns

Today we (Vicky, Hirah, myself) finally managed to meet up. We've been planning it for months, since like.. December, pretty much, but then Hirah was having her January of studying, and we couldn't find a free weekend in February, but here we are!
Kim had a date with a boy (read as fictional cyborg) and thus Vicky and Fishy went to the cinema to stalk them first, but failed because they didnt turn up. Probably because Kim feared stalking or something. Anyway they met Nicola in Sutton. Nicola's preparing for university by buying recipe books. Can you imagine? She's preparing to go to university. She is preparing to be a student. God, I feel like I'm not really a person, half the time. Like I'm a comic character that only exists when they're making jokes, and doesn't really have a background story.
So I went to Chester Road station and waited for a bit. I had a great chat with the guy selling me tickets who it turns out spent six months in north africa doing what he thought was holiday repping and turned out to be arms smuggling. We discussed why babies are never hired for jobs and what a problem squirrels with switch knives are. Then there was this other guy who thought I went to his school, which I did, but I went about six years after him. Whatever, I must have one of those faces. We reminised a bit, and he said "sick" a lot which I figure must be a good thing.
I got on the train and we went to town. Vicky had her hair cut which was nice. We found Hirah hiding in WhSmiths and I literally glomped her. I felt my feet leave the floor which was totally the coolest. Marion was there too, with a bundle of yaoi for Vicky (you should have seen her eyes light up) and then Mohan turned up and off we went!
We headed to Shoguns, I was walking with Hirah and catching up. I love Hirah, she's a tremendously fun person to be around. You don't have to think about what you're saying or double meanings or crap, it's just randomness, pure and undiluted. I ordered a Yasai Yaki Soba, which the kind waiter taught me how to pronounce and I ate it ALL. I compensated from my lack of skill with the chopsticks by just holding the plate really close to my face. Hirah had prawns.
Sarah: Can I have a prawn?
Hirah: sure *gives breaded prawn*
S: *puts prawn in mouth, chews*
H: *continues eating*
S: Am I supposed to eat all of this?
H: NO! You can't eat the tail! It's inedible!
S: *panicking* Whaat?? What do I do with it???
H: spit it out!!
S: WHERE?
Eventually I put it in a napkin. Thanks Hirah.
We paid at Shoguns and Marion showed us her awesome drawings. She's so talented! She's going to do an art course, which is totally her calling, even if her style is underappreciated.
We went to Selfridges and Hirah co-erced me into sharing a chocolate nutty fudge sundae with her. Co-erced I tell you! I couldn't concentrate with her showing me those droolicious pictures! It was AWESOME. And then there was this couple who ordered one EACH and were like "you are so going to regret that" and they couldn't finish it of course. I couldn't completely finish and I had to leave Hirah to it.
S: I feel like an irresponsible parent walking out on their child.
H: Our child is doing A Levels! (I don't have a clue what she was on about)
The other's ate doughnuts and then we went into boarders and Vicky looked at some Yaoi with Hirah. Then I came home on the train with Nicola! It was all groovy.
I only wish Kim or Rachel could have been there. And Mohan seemed pretty detached from everything, but I'm a bit crappy with people when they're feeling isolated or what not, so I couldn't think of anything to do.
Well that's about it. I spent the day yelling a lot. Hirah makes me abnormally loud.

The other day, Megan called me to ask for help buying Xavi a teeshirt. I was absolutely NO help. I think it's a good thing that I don't have a boyfriend.

S: Kim has a date today
Mum: really? so she's getting interested in boys now?
S: ..mum... we're all interested in boys. We hit puberty about six years ago and we've been interested in boys ever since. Would you prefer if we were interested in girls??
