Of course life never goes according to plans, does it? Well, as far as I'm concerned, I've found out a new rule, probably a far relative of Murphy's law: As long as one makes plans more than two days in advance, and involving more than two persons, said plans are fifty percent likely to fall through.
The rule of "more than two", if you want. I have to see if there are any statistics and probabilities to back the theory, and who knows, become a famous mathematician. My father would be proud...

So, yes, the deal with the French Guy fell through. I guess that's what happens when you play with the fire. By playing with the fire, I mean making arrangements with so-called "players". It's only fair, seeing I always have a plan B, a C and sometimes stretching as far as L or M, so I totally understand the said players ought to come prepared and have a back up plan as well...

Instead I went for dinner with my lesbian ex-flatmate P and her friends, and then just for drinks and some serious catching up with Stella. We missed out on each other's updates for over a week, and that's a first. I need her around for a more grown-up insight, and I guess she needs me for a crazier, more spontaneous one. And we have at least two things in common;
-we'll never say no to a fun night out,
-since the bloody smoking ban we're prepared to freeze our ass off in outside areas whatever the British weather.
Enough for a good friendship if you ask!

Here goes the conversation:
S: So, did you go to Buttoned Down Disco's night in Koko?
Me: Nope and I'm gutted
S: What happened? I tried to reach you, like a thousand times, and you didn't pick up. So which option was it? In a club and didn't hear the phone, in bed with either OG or French Guy, or stoned somewhere?
Me: Unfortunately, none of the above, just watched the rugby and passed out in bed... alone!
S: That's no good, what's happening to us?
Me: Yep, something is definitely wrong there, let's go out tomorrow!

So today, I went around shops and picked up enough night life magasines to keep us updated for the next month. And tonight, it's Notting Hill Arts Club party followed by AKA/The End. When things need to be done, count on me to take matters in hand!
I'd better go and get ready now...
