To remind myself that there is fun to be had and that I've had a whole bunch of fun already this year I thought I would do a year so far kinda post. Apologies if I miss anything, but my memory does suck!
January
I think it was a fun month involving not one but two trips to London. One for Elvis' Birthday at The Ace Cafe, which was a rather random venue. It was fun hanging out with Dawn, Max, Lyns and Peck as usual. Peck is always entertaining.
The Glamorous view from the Travelodge
January was also the month I tried Lindy hop- lets just say me and Lindy aren't meant for each other.
It was Mom's birthday too, so we went to Ryde Castle which was nice, if not a little to generic.
February
Josh's 40th Birthday party. A bit random hanging out with my sister and her pals, but interesting none the less and I learnt a few things too.
It was also a pretty quiet month, my car broke, which sucked and I looked after my friends 8 cats, which made me realise that I couldn't be a crazy cat lady after all...
3 of the 8 cats.
March
Yes! March was fun. I got to see the lovely Cassie at the Jive Alldayer in Worthing with the Jive Aces
Plus dancing with Andy my patient dance partner :) I danced with Colin from Brighton Jive and made it through without messing up too much!
March was also the month Mr.B.The Gentleman Rhymer was at Coburgs and Helly bought me a ticket. Man, that seems forever ago now. He's always fun to watch, and not just for the facial hair!
There were some decent films out in March too- Need for Speed- (Yes, ok I was totally just swooning at Aaron Pauls' voice) and Captain America- more swooning at Chris Evans, plus the whole crazy Hydra Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D crossover which was pretty rad. I also saw an exhibition at the Roman villa on roman sexuality and laughed like a boy at all the phallic shapes.
April
Pretty much the best month so far. Why? CANADA. Man, what an adventure. Now I'm pretty sure y'all have read about that on this blog, so I won't bore you again, but it was massive fun. I got to meet my bestie Sunshine, and another lovely lady called Angela. Both of whom I've been writing to for 5 years! Eep! It was a great experience and showed me that anything is possible if you put your mind to it.
May
May was a bit random really, but fun. Mom and I met an Almost relative, I say almost, because we aren't quite related. It was cool though, seeing how much family history he has amassed, it just wasn't our family!
A non planned trip to the Rivoli in London too to see The Jive Aces again which was fun.
What else? There was the boat trip at work for a Photo Op, as well as Bumblebee coming to work ( that was a pretty rad day)
My birthday occurred. I'm 34 apparently.... then a rather crazy came out of nowhere Wedding in the shape of Cassie and Joe!
That involved a mini weekend adventure to Burgess Hill, Arundel, Worthing, Lancing then Worthing again.
June
Half way through the year and much fun has already been had- June saw Helly's birthday and me watching Withnail & I for the first time, As well as my favourite weekender of all The Rockabilly Rave! That was a lot of fun and emotion fuelled by alcohol and a full moon! But I got to hang out with Cassie, my Russian spy pal Nina and I got to meet some lovely new people including Sarah.
I really do adore that weekend. Rockabilly at its best and I got to meet Lil' Mo!
Now, as I am of course crazy sensible I thought what would do after 4 days of drinking and little sleep would be to go to West Yorkshire and buy a car in a day. Normal. So now I have the beautiful Lucille in my life making me drive faster than I should :D
I also got to see Mike Sanchez at the steam railway and the Three Belles at Portsmouth historic dockyards. A pretty decent month really!
July
It hasn't sucked to be honest. I watched the musical version of From here to eternity at the flicks, which I really enjoyed. I watched the original too, and decided that the music defo made it less glum!
My Jiving pal Andy and Claire put on a Rock'n'Roll night at the Wightrock which was pretty splendid fun! I danced with Max (I think he was more terrified of me), Shoes and the lovely Claire- it was kinda like a roller coaster ride he he. Of course Andy had to endure some more dances with me too.
(sorry about the stolen picture Dawn & Claire)
I also went on a day trip to France with Mama. This involved a lot of ferry and little of France. Just enough time to spend around £100 in the hypermarket on Rum and Cheese. Oh and Hair dye...
I ventured across the water again to see Lucy and drink Ron Jeremy Rum.
It wasn't that good to be honest with you. Ron, you've disappointed me. However the vast amount of Pulled pork and Ice Cream I consumed that weekend made up for it. We went to Its a Sin at The Wedge, but the usual DJ wasn't there so there was less 90s cheese to dance too. Fun none the less and on the Saturday we got to watch men with Beards singing Blur in the Southsea Alternative Choir. Good times.
And that my friends, is pretty much how my year has shaped up so far. I'm wondering what other adventures I'll have this year, and I'm pretty stoked to find out, that's for sure!
