h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Weird weekend. Fun weekend, but a weird one.

24 hours of continuous, albeit light, drunkenness, interspersed with a trip to hospital for a quick break, my first ever go at the Les Mills "Body Combat" routine, and two separate birthday parties. During all this time I have not stopped being sick with blocked sinuses, and my head is only now paying the price. For the first time in a couple of years I managed to go to bed with somebody else - three of my closest friends, in fact - but we all remained fully clothed (which is probably something of a relief!). Thank goodness for alcohol, and pain killers, in that order.

I am still sick, and now I must go back to finding another job.

I have an idea...

Maybe you could get a job as an extra in one of those hospital dramas. You could be the guy in the background laying on a gurney (with three of your closest friends, of course) complaining about what an awful head-cold you have.

Yes, yes. I think that would work.

Hee hee sounds like you had a fun one Hypoman. I think I may just have to quote you on that...

Kate

Daisy - four on a gurney? Could get very crowded, and I might get popped out of bed and start sustaining REAL hospital-type injuries instead of just a head cold (and anyway, any doctor who looked at sleeping arrangements like that would just go "No bloody wonder!" and go about his/her business!).

Kate - which part are you planning on quoting? I have a huge good-guy, handsome devil image to protect here...!

OK Kate, I've done the background research, and I'm aware of some of the context! I didn't realise V-D was something to get bitter about...! My diary entry failed to mention it because I was honestly not aware that it was on. Don't worry, though, it's only a matter of time (that's what everyone keeps telling me, anyway!).

Suggested theme song for V-D: "The Jack" by AC/DC.

Hope you're feeling better by the time you read this...!

PS, Kate, thanks for the link! I did MEAN to say something like that, I just didn't...!

four on a gurney may get you injured...but wouldn't it be fun in the process?

I should think so, on both counts!

Hypoman - does the quote bother you? I'll take it off if it does, I just thought it was funny

I was referring more to the tale of your weekend than Valentine's Day when I first responded...in a matter of sentences you managed to capture and entire weekend and I was highly entertained

P.S. Your good-guy, handsome devil image is safe with me!

Keep the quote, Kate!

And yes, Daze, it would be enormous fun in the process - but then skydiving would be enormous fun until your parachute failed to open, too...!

*gets umbrella*

c'mon, hypo, rain on my parade some more...I'm ready for it!!!

Aww, Hypo, sounds like you need some of my Valium. *holds out bottle, hesitates, takes out a few, THEN holds out bottle*

Who's got more in her than in the bottle, presently!

Fenny, "get the bottle back into ya" is all I can say...

What are you doing on Valium, ultra-successful hardline political mastermind that we all know you to be? I've never actually had a Valium dose, myself: what's it like...?

What am I doing on it? Well, you see, my ultra - successful mastermind is sometimes TOO BRILLIANT, even for ME! I've got to do SOMETHING to keep it at human levels! I'm sure other ultra - wonderful people such as yourself understand what I'm referring to!

Never had it? What's it like... well, seriously - *grabs bottle back* Don't ever start. It used to be fun for the minutes before I was completely knocked out, then it tamed down to rendering me comfortably numb, then a somewhat effective painkiller, and now if I haven't got it I'm uncomfortably tense. To put it mildly. Such as now. Evil!

Because she cares,
Fenny
"Get the bottle back in ya, London!"
