Brighton Pride

pictures
Although I wasn’t feeling 100% having been into work on the friday and sent home I had already made plans to go to Brighton for the day. I had a friend staying and had arranged to meet people so I dutifully met up at clapham junction for the train journey down. The staff seemed fairly clued up there was an ‘event’ at brighton as they made plenty of announcements about how to get there where to change if necessary etc.
When we arrived it looked a bit dull and overcast but nothing too serious but by the time we arrived at Preston Park the heavens had opened and a lightning storm was in full flow. I was amazed at the number of people huddled under trees with umbrellas. Do people not realise how dangerous that is?
So we skipped the park and went straight to the pub to try and dry off a little. The hand dryers were in constant use!
A few drinks later and David and I had decided [well I had anyways] to ask Andy back to Streatham – he seemed keen and so that was settled.
The sun started to break through and alcohol had made us brave so we ventured into the park and joined in the festivities which was nice. The slide by the popstarz tent was cool so I went on it a few times. We had much more alcohol and then ventured back to the car [having met Andrew who had driven] and went to see the damage to his brighton abode. Followed by a trip to the marina for food.
A long journey home ensued but all in all a fun day! Lots of fun had by all in fact!

frustration

I watched a film this evening which seemed to touch every emotion in me. Defying Gravity was frustrating, sweet, funny, annoying, cringeworthy, and sexy. I t made me much more horny than any porno film could. The fact that it reminded me so much of when I was coming out was kind of scary.
I remembered vividly on my way home U2, With or without you. It was my theme for 1987 and it was when I had finally accepted I was never going to be like all my other friends.
I knew well before that, that I was different but 1987 was the first time I accepted that although I was different I was also not going to lie and try to be something I wasn’t.
If you haven’t seen defying gravity I recommend it. Although very cheesy, and painful at times, the emotional reminders of your youth whether you are straight or gay will be worth it.
Sexy leads and never quite shown or mentioned love lives left me horny to the point of being frisky. Spence and Glenn had to contend with ‘Frisky Iain’ this evening.

I also admitted to myself this evening why I had been in such a miserable mood these past few weeks and especially today. I had been putting it off but it was inevitable really. I am so doing the escapism thing with films at the moment.

On the gossip front today I discovered that Blogger E had managed to have his wicked way with a certain young secret santa. So that’s a whole new blogabet quiz I reckon!

Googletastic St. George’s Day

You have to love Google for their whacky logo changes. Today is indeed St. George’s Day, it’s also my brother’s birthday!.

Oh I have a chest

Oh I have a chest infection as well – It’s official – I overcame my fear of doctors today and went to see my GP mainly because of my fever and sore hot chest this morning when I woke up – so much for it getting better. I now have antibiotics and painkillers so I am not afraid to breathe properly. on a brighter note I was wondering why the US Big Brother has much cuter guys than ours? oh and more nudity!

I woke up this morning

I woke up this morning thinking I had had a bad dream – unfortunately I knew it was real. Seeing the pictures this morning of the rubble that was once the World Trade Centre I just felt numb.

being at home has it’s

being at home has it’s advantages – you can change the temperature and snuggle under your duvet without anyone giving you funny glances. More importantly though you can watch drivel on TV – imagine my suprise whilst watching the channel 5 news bulletin when a story about aerobic striptease came on. Yes it is an american idea. No I don’t think it is meant for people out of shape. All the people in the report were already under 70 kilos and trim and toned – so why do they feel the need to take their clothes off in the middle of a gym class? Why not I guess. I know I said I wouldn’t join a gym but if Streatham Leisure Centre starts offering classes I may go along – just for research you understand.

I think as I have

I think as I have been watching the news unfold that today is going to be one of those days where you are going to ba able to pinpoint where and when you heard the news. Both the towers of the WTC have now collapsed and as such the NY skyline has changed forever. I am concerned that this may just be the beginning in attacks and counter attacks. I can honestly say no news story has scared me as much [with the possible exception of the bomb at the Admiral Duncan] and I want to live outside a city.

how awful – I was

how awful – I was just watching the news and all hell has broken loose – what is the world coming to? The Pentagon, WTC and thousands of innocent people. What is going on? fuck. I am watching from home on Sky news and CNN and BBC and all of them look the same – awful pictures of burning buildings that for all the world look like a film but you know it’s real.

ooh and the cute kiwi

ooh and the cute kiwi is back from his hols – looking forward to pics and stories from Barthelona and slutges.
so during the round up of daily blogs – I need to make 2 links. One to Meg who discovered her weblogger twin is herself. Well we are now triplets cos my twin was her too. Strange. So I now have 2 sisters, Meg and erm… Meg.
Oh and Rob who has a quiz to guess the queen… and I quote
“Iain tells me (which means you’ve been speaking to HIM more than ME you complete bitch – you are so going over my knee) that youre downloading Moulin Rouge.”
