Jeez. Finally got around to updating about my weekend! And, because I just know I'm going to end up going back and putting one in anyway:
So, went to the guy's gig on Saturday night, and they really weren't bad! Duffy was great on the bass, Bongo Dave (He's new, but gotta love the name!) was good on the drums and Rich's guitar playing was amazing. I mean...Jeez.. In Becky's words, "Oh. My. God. Rich is amazing! I want to have his babies!" Sentiments we can all share, I feel. Simon, singing....was not so good. I'd say about 50/50-some of it was great, but others he was yelling into the mike, getting lyrics wrong-and this from the guy who's in musicals and plays about 8 days a week!
Still, well done them!
Still wasn't a perfect night, though. Simon. I've still not forgiven him for...well...basically thinking with his knob. *wonders if I mentioned this before?*
Well, short version, Rich really liked Becky and we were all trying to set them up. We went out of our way to getthem together, me and Si were planning all sorts of stuff, "randomly" bringing them together on nights out, and all was good. Then, all of a sudden, Simon turns up and announces he's going out with Becky.

Can't imagine what that did to Rich (you gotta know Rich to understand this, but for him to fancy a girl at all, let alone enough to tell us, is huge). And then there's Si telling him ALL the details... *growls* Now, Simon. He's a really attractive, intelligent, funny guy. Objectively, probably the most attractive guy out of all of us. Yet, for a long time, he's never been able to keep a girl for more than two months-and I never knew why. He dates wonderful girls, I mean they've all been absolutely amazing. Yet they all sod off after around two months, and Simon complains he can't meet a nice girl who'll stay with him.
I used to really feel for the guy. Now I know why.
It's because you treat them like absolute shit, asshole!!!
Only realised it recently, to be honest. But he most certainly is. Becky, being absolutely gorgeous, managed to get Simon a copy of the Blues Brother's script (he's a fanatic)-and one that was signed by the director, producer, and two main actors. I have no idea how much it cost her and I definately have no idea how the hell she managed to get her hands on it.
And as for Simon? He got her nothing. At all. Because "I can't afford it". And just everything. Like Me, Jeff, Sian Simon and Becky came out of a pub rather late. I was just going to crash at Sian's place, mostly 'cos she had the car and hadn't been drinking. Now Becky lives about ten minute walk from the pub. What did Simon do? give her a quick kiss, said he'd see her tomorrow, then turned his back on her and walked towards Sian's car. We all just stood staring at each other, especially Becky, and she just turned slowly and walked off amongst the crowds of pissheads-all 'cos Sian would be passing Simon's house on the way back to hers!
Right, I know there was a reason I brought all this up. Oh, yeah, Saturday! So, with Simon being in the band, Becky obviously came. I met her in town, and we got up there. And when we walked in simon, her boyfriend...never even said "hello". Let alone giving her a hug or a kiss, or anything. He basically ignored her all night, yet gave copious amounts of attention to two girls we all used to go to college with that he'd invited.
Becky looked so obviously upset that I just came out with it and asked what was up (as if I didn't know). And, basically, she's been treated partiularly badly by her last three boyfriends and now Simon is being an asshole. Basically, if it were anyone else she was dating but a "friend" of mine, I'd tell her to leg it, but I can't. So, while I'm trying to reassure her, Simon walkes back into the hall (we didn't even notice he'd gone) with Anna (one of the girls he'd invited), with curiously messed up hair that was perfectly done all evening...
Becky's face...
Now, I'm pretty sure none of that was going on, but still...So. Gave Becky a big hug and tried to be mega friendly all night. Just kept a watch on her and Simon-I think, the entire night, they held hands once when she had to reach across his lap and take his hand while he was chatting to Suzi, and they kissed once when he was walking to the bar and she literally jumped out of her chair, grabbed him by the collars and smacked one on him.
I'll give them a week? Especially because, apparently, by the end of the night, I carried (literally! *embarrassed*) Becky onto the dancefloor because I'd seen her begging Simon and he wouldn't get up. And we were, as someone so eloquently put it, "fanny dancing". And Simon didn't even move a muscle. What does that say?
*sigh*. Poor kid.
(am slightly dubious about posting this, as I've now got a RL friend (xsuicidexdollx who knows these people on my flist. :-s Still, with any luck, I'll just babble more updates and she'll not see this when she gets back from Belgium)
So, that me Saturday.
Not too much else has happened. Have spent this week in work quietly and constantly obsessing over the gorgeous young lass I work with. I've really got to get this sorted, one way or the other. 'cos this way madness lies! In fact, I'd begged a lift off her after college to pop up some remote warehouse and pick up a parcel for me, then was going to shoot to the nearest pub for a nice meal...
Until we discover that one of the college buses is without an escort and no-one can do it, as much as I bloody look. So, guess who just had to do it?
Grrr. Poxy Fate!
Final note. Scary ex girlfriend(tm) randomly got in touch with me this week-for the first time since...September? And she's carried onthe fine tradition of screwing her life up something proper.....but that'll have to wait for an update, as I've just been summoned to a cinema trip. See ya! :D
