Well its been a week since I last wrote anything down and since then my mind feels somewhat at peace. A number of demons have met final death and things seem on the up. Obviously the random acts of insanity that is have help ease my mind. Basically not much happened during the last week except the usual fun of coding and so forth. In fact so bland was the week that thank god for Friday and a good bit of drinking and conversation with the ever ready and great , and rosie and lee. Starting at the Bank and then onto the Big G(C), and there finding an old work mate from my days (tenure/tour of duty/sentance) at GW. All was good. It was nice to finallyhave my brain melt after that days lit presentation.

Well of course the next day I went into work for a bit and proceeded to do some xmas shopping. 75% complete in just one hour. Excellent. However Hotel Chocolat was off limits, simply because it was hell and filled with morons who really wouldn't be able to appreciate the stuff.
Bloody Idiots.
After all this I called Vic to see if it was still possible to meet her today and get it all out the way. So heading to the Crown and Anchor I arrived and sat and drank and chatted to her and her parents. Yes her parents were there but fortunately I totally respect them and so it was actually quite good that they were there. And so it was during all that conversation that of course the subject of 'what are you doing now' came up. It was funny when I was asked if I had exams coming up. 'Oh god no' was the simple reply. But it was as I went through all the various things I have been up to/doing, and then conversing with Vic some more with regard to how she was (once her parents had made a move) that I just had to think 'My god my life is quite chaotic and great'. It when you see where you could of ended up that you really appreciate the things you do and the friends you have.
Though I do now feel quite sorry for my ex. Stuck in job she hates, the worries of money and if her other half can keep his job, whether their house mate will sort out his own issues, and of course the fact that she now has no chance to have a real social life. And then of course there was the expected 'I'm glad I can still talk to you even though it has taken a long time to get to this point.' Fair enough, but the entire separation of our paths was my concious descision and one I am always thankful for. I mean it's allowed me to explore a lot. Then came the next, just as expected 'What do you want for xmas?' However, rightly or wrongly, I really don't care if she does or doesn't get me anything. Though what with all her other problems I told, no ordered, her not to worry about such a triviality, and that I rather she just took care of herself first.
So we left the pub and made the way to my bus stop, chatting about various things, thouh really it was me talking my typical madness and so forth. And then shocker, after I explained the wonderful night of Barnamint Baileys round at 's that I brought up the subject of another cocktail bar, she said she'd like to take me out to it for my birthday. Partly this is because she knows I really won't invite her out to where I usually hang simply because she really wouldn't be too comfortable with everyone else, and of course I'd rather not have her bloke (ex good friend) around. So that was that. Goodbye. A hug, which was somewhat strange as i'm not really the touchy feely type fuzzle. Though as I say some demons have been laid to rest and a certain confidence has, not returned, no more like a part that has grown since all that has just been reinforced.
So Saturday night was Sin. First a trek over to and 's place, where and dan's mates Nick and (I forget her name already) were hanging out. A few glasses of wine and we were off to what turne out quite a good night out at Sin, the music being somewhat better this week, and I was certainly in the mood for a good stomp.
Sunday. Well 2 hours o daylight seen and mainly writing.
Today. Another damn good day. 3 hours of demonstrating, the last for the semester, and I was told the best thing ever of one fo the first years. Oh first some were disappointed at me not having bleached my hair yet. Hehe. No what they said, I was asking how they were finding the course and if they liked any particular part of chemistry, was that they hadn't really learn't anything in lectures but felt they had learnt more off me when we do the mini interiews during the marking of their work. Wow! Well I bid them goodbye as I finished my shift though told them they could always email me if they need help on their course. Oh and that I might see them in the pub on friday. I hope they do drink at Harry's Bar. They should of learnt that by know.
After all that I stormed off into town to meet up with and to see how they were and if the dear had done ok with her coursework. See I'm not really heartless bastard. XD. Well the rest of the day was catching up with Mike on what we are doing over x mas with the force field and the new code I have written, and reading some lit reviews for my students.
