on friday morning, i went over to the flat, dropped my stuff off and we then went into town and caught a coach to manchester (fiver return - bargain) when we got there we went straight to pizza hut and had a lovely pizza and garlic bread, we were then ready to hit the shops. for ages and ages neither of us could find anything that really caught our eye, but in the end Karina bought a lovely blue bench jacket, and i bought a paul frank tshirt. on the front of my t-shirt is a pink flying V guitar and the words "kiss my axe". its sooo lovely. after all the shopping we headed to canal street, kind of the gay quarter if you like.
the bars on canal street are so different to the gay bars in liverpool. people just dont seem to have anything to prove, unlike a lot of the people in the gay bars in liverpool. i had to ask karina a few times if were in a gay pub or not because i couldnt tell. one of the places we went in was called Tribeca. Its a very stylish bar, which is huge upstairs, and downstairs there nice booths, and also an area with bed type cushioning that you can just lounge on whilst you have your pont. they also do food there, and you can actually phone and reserve a table, or even a bed for your meal!!! it was very cool.
we left manchester at about 9pm and were terrorized all the way home by a pissed up scouser who kept announcing loudly that he was tired or shattered or whatever. ths went on all the way home, broken up by periods of very gross farts, and almost kicking us in the head as he tried to get himsefl comfy. i was almost going to kill him, but we did managed to get a laugh out of it. just as we were coming into liverpool i said loudly to Karina "i'm tired" and she said back to me "i'm shattered" (exactly what this guy had been waffling about all the way home) whch caused half the caoch to errupt into laughter.
when we got back to liverpool we picked up some food and beer from tescos and then headed back to the flat. we just chilled for the rest of the time watching TV until we went to bed. on saturday morning, we went into town, determined to buy karina a nice to wear out that nice. she had previously seen some nice ones in liverpool, but had wanted to see what else was available in manchester before buying anything. she bought a diesel top and a duffer top, which were both lovely. she went to meet a friend in birkenhead and i sneaked off to get her a birthday cake. i ended up buying her a BUSTY BOOBS birthday cake which is a pair of boobs (in a bra) completley unknwon to her.
So, in the evening, just as we were finishing getting ready, karina was pottering round the kitchen, and at my signal a friend of hers who was also there turned off the lights, i light the candles, and we presented her with the cake. she of course made a wish and blew her cancels out. she was really shocked but loved it. we then headed into town, starting with the Lisbon. Laydee K also joined us for this part of the evening which was lovely. i dont see Kate enough and i love her to deathxxx after the Lisbon, and a lot of lager (some of it in 4 pint pitchers) we headed for the G bar, which is opposite the old garlands. By this time we were well on our way., as you can imagine.
the evenig consisted of lots more drinking and me and karina and the others doing the silliest dancing we could to some incredibly cheesey music. we danced for 90% of the night at least!! karina pulled a lovely blonde who just dived on her and shocked everyone who saw, but made her very very happy!! i chatted to some cool people and danced like a nutter all night. when we finally left we tried to get a taxi but there was just no taxis to be found, so we decided to walk up to lewis's to get a night bus. by this point it was rainign torrentially and we ended up very soggy. we also got the 86 bus which meant we had to get off at park road and walk for 10 mins, again, in the pouring rain. we flagged a taxi to take us the last 500 metres or so, and managed to get away with not paying for it.
when we got in, much tea was made, and lucozade waas drunk by the bottlefull. we ended up staying up well into the daylight, and i think i only actually got something like 4 hours sleep!! i feel like shit, but i didnt puke or have to retire to my bed for the whole day, which was cool. later on rob and tony turned up and took me home, which was a godsend. we also went home via mcdonalds and had a lovely double cheeseburger, hich made me feel much better!!!
so, like i said, a mad weekend!!!!!!!!! i'm in work tomorrow, but not till 10am, which isnt too offensive. karina is back in work tomorrow too, which'll be cool, cos we can keep each other entertained as per usual!!! anyways, time for bed methinks!!!
