Road Roller

Today was set to be rather uneventful, but it turned out I had a great evening. Firstly, I went to the Benleva for the pub quiz. We were champions, coming 11th out of 12 teams; a true triumph in my eyes. Following this, Darroch, Drew, Ben and myself retreated to Drew's house for "Kitchen Banter". This lasted well over two hours, and it was a great reminder that even though I hate living in Drumnadrochit I have some amazing friends here, and spending this sort of time with them does much more for me than psychiatrists and pills have managed over 18 months. So thanks guys.

There's also another interesting point to be made; if someone can tell you stories that make you laugh INCREDIBLY hard, it can cure sinusitis at least for a while. I shall explain; a particularly amusing story was being told and acted out by Drew, causing me to laugh so much tears were rolling down my face. The story progressed and I continued to laugh harder still, until the point where the story finished and I found my nose to be bleeding profusely, apparently relieving the pressure in my head. And thus my sinusitis has gone for now. An interesting home cure for anyone who suffers with their sinuses out there; get a Drew.

Today I also found out that I am definitely going to the X Factor tour in Aberdeen on Sunday, where I am on the Corporate VIP list! I'm not clear on the details, but I am lead to believe that I will have the opportunity to meet the artists and such, so, as a fan of the X Factor, I am looking forward to this immensely. The sheer thought of meeting Jedward makes me laugh, so if it does happen, I will probably be inconsolable at the event; perhaps the same will happen as with Drew's story. I hope not though, as it would be embarrasing to meet Lucy Jones with blood all over my face...

This, along with seeing Alice in Wonderland in 3D tomorrow night, means I am set up for a fantastic weekend!
