Steel Wheels

Today started with me pretty miffed at having almost two hours in town before starting work. It turned around though when I found the last season of buffy the vampire slayer in oxfam. I used to love that show but for some reason I never caught the last few and for however many years its been I've managed to avoid spoilers as to how it ends. Finally ill find out. It got even better when I wasn't charged for it, only paying 99p for the other stuff I got. As the day went on however, my moral self disgust grew to the point where next time I'm in town I physically HAVE to donate some money to atone. Just before work I went to heroes for sale, the comic and movie stuff shop where an awesome guy came in, 50 years old with a ponytail behind a half-bald head. He proceeded to play with a Darth Maul toy making lightsaber noises as it defeated predator before turning round and looking at my power quest t shirt and remarking on them being a great band. This is pretty big because he is the first person I've met who is an established fan of them, and I only the second he has met. Work, while brief in my 5 hour shift, was busy and actually annoyingly stressful due to a few completely, impenetrably stupid customers and the tills being so old and worn out they kept going wrong. I survived though and spent the afternoon wandering around town, meeting Lou, resulting in incomprehensible conversations to any regular "normal" human. I got home with enough time to get changed in order to go to Carl's leaving party. It started at the Ben which was great, and proceeded to Pepe's house where it was like our old house parties; amazing banter. After a good while we headed to the Poachers Inn which is where the banter slowly faded for me. I can't really put a reason to it but there's just something about the place I don't like. One good thing came from it as I met a guy called Peter who transpired to be another Power Quest fan. Two in one day; ridiculous.Eventually giving up I walked home still satisfied from a good evening but knackered from a fairly busy and long day. Song of the day is, predictably, by Power Quest; ill go for "Civilised?" because its one of my favourites.
