A disgrace.

Today all started well, when I went to town, got a few interesting DVDs and Music Books, met friends, went to Costa etc etc. We then headed up to the retail park for the usual Saturday cinema where it all started going downhill. We were booked for seeing Alice in Wonderland in 3D, thus avoiding the marauding crowds. It turned out that it was a sell-out, so we were doubly chuffed; firstly that we HAD tickets, and secondly that a packed cinema is good fun. We got into the screen and the attendant found people to be sitting in our seats (at Vue, you book specific seats for 3D screenings and an attendant shows you to said seats). Turned out that somewhere along the line, there was an epic cock-up and the seat had been booked online by both ourselves and the occupant. We were escorted out of the cinema and given a refund. Nonetheless, we were deeply miffed, and spoke to the manager, who give him his due, gave us complementary tickets for next time we visit. Still, though, it left us 4 hours to wander aimlessly around Tesco, which gets boring after 20 minutes. This boredom was converted to frustration by a visit from two females, assumably sisters, who none of us have ever met, yet felt compelled to follow us around remarking on me and Jamie's ugliness, strange hair, clothes, and basically rip us to pieces. Jamie was the main fighter in this situation, dazzling them with his magic tricks that he always has to hand, leaving them to flounder, noticeably confounded, but still trying to prove themselves better than us even when there is no one around of their group to be showing off to. I want to be clear that it isn't the insults that mattered most to me, it's the realisation that these two are typical of the sort of people who are forming much of society nowadays; people who show no sign of wit or intelligence, so set in conforming to a set model that they lose all individuality and personality. It is because of this that I am glad to be a "freak"/"loser"/"wierd", because all of these are much better than being a dull clone. Also I am proud to say that most of my friends would also be vilified by these ignoramuses, as they all commit the unthinkable of today, in being themselves.

It may be apparent that my mood this evening is rather dark, but I remain optimistic about tomorrow's trip to Aberdeen to see the X Factor tour. I really hope that tomorrow's post will be more enthusiastic, and will show a lighter side of the world.
