After work I got changed and went for a quick bite to eat at The Rushley with the Emmas, Sue (Emma J’s girlfriend), and Marc.
I caught the bus from over the road and went to Notts to meet Gordon, Vlad, and Andy (tutors from college) in The Social. I got there early, so I’d had a couple by the time they’d turned up. After a little bit of conversation (and perving on the 19-year-old barmaid) I discovered that Vlad likes Manu Chao. He’s one of only two people I know of who knew of Manu Chao, other than the person who introduced me to the music, and the people who were with me at the time (Laura’s cousin Hannah, Laura, and Laura’s mom). That was cool. Weird that I’ve worked in the same place as Vlad for over a year and we only just discovered that we know of the same music. 😀
There was a random girl who lives in Mansfield Woodhouse there who kept talking to us all. I don’t remember her name, if we asked for it at all. She was quite flirtatious. o_O
We went upstairs to watch The Mystery Jets. While up there I bumped into Ange who I used to work with at Capital One. That was cool. We had a bit of a chat and decided to try to arrange a proper night out in three weeks or so. Should be good. The Mystery Jets were really good. At some point during the whole thing I ended up chatting to two girls named Rachel and Katie. One of them was from Manchester, or studying there or something. They were cool to talk to for some of the night.
After the gig I was heading off to Rock City to meet up with Emmas, Sue, Paul, Harley, Punk Dave, etc. I was ahead of them, so I went in on my own. After a few minutes I got a message from Paul saying they couldn’t get in because a couple of them were dressed too extreme for Rock City. Mostly because it was Love Shack, where they play a bunch of older songs from last decade. I was trying to make my mind up about whether I should go to The Rig with them or not when I bumped into Will from Capital One. We had a bit of a chat and then he said I could hang out with him and his friends, so I did.
Most of the time in City was spent following Will and his friends around the club looking for sexy single girls. 🙂 There were a couple of girls dressed as nurses, a couple dressed as cowgirls, and a bunch of other clichés besides.
While we were walking around one girl was looking at me as I was looking around. She smiled when I looked at her, and there began a bunch of sideways glances for a while. It took a while but I eventually went over to start dancing with her just in time for some other guy to get directly between us and start dancing. I turned back to go find Will. I gave one final look and she held her hands out for mine and we started dancing. 🙂 It’s good when things work out well.
Turns out her name’s Rebecca. I don’t know a great deal about her at the moment. She has nice eyes, she’s smaller than me, she’s a good dancer, and a good kisser. 😀
I had to leave after a while because we were supposed to catch the last bus at 3am. We didn’t stand a chance of making it so we ended up waiting for taxis instead. Emma Carroll asked me where all the glitter on my face came from. 😡
Marc and I got out of the taxi on Nottingham Road so we could go to the ESSO garage. I bought some orange juice and then walked home by myself because Marc lives in the other direction.
It was a really really good night. I want more nights like that! 🙂
