So Mr R (the New Guy) is away at the moment and I find myself having a rather slow week in terms of my social life. I believe Sod and his law have something to do with the pure coincidence of pretty much everyone being busy at the same time and leaving me to my own devices.
I spent Saturday night with my best friend, drinking several bottles of rose and watching crappy tv. The highlight of the night was discovering a 'top 50 dance crazes of all time' show, which had us up and dancing along to such memorable hits such as '5,6,7,8', 'Tragedy', 'Saturday Night' and 'The Macarena'. Apparently this was brilliant timing as walking into Flares on (a very random and impromptu) Monday night, these were the songs we were greeted with. Unfortunately I'd chosen not to take advantage of the £1 a drink student night offer and was driving, but sadly to say that didn't stop me from getting rather excited when 5ive came on and breaking out the dance moves. It was just me and my friend Ben, but was possibly the most amusing Monday night I've had in ages!
Once upon a time I would have said 'no' to a last-minute offer on a Monday night. That was usually the night me and the ex both had off and we'd just stay in. Life after love isn't just about having a social life and not missing out on the good times, it's also about being proud to admit in public that you like 90s pop music.
