There are one or two reasons why I can't sleep, the main probably being the fact that I got up at 3pm, because I just couldn't be bothered getting up today, since I had no college. I did, however, think I was meeting Rod and I called him to check, but he wasn't picking up so I ended up going back to bed, finally arising at 3pm.
For most of the day, I've been sitting here, doing nothing.
However, plans for what could be the best New Years Eve ever were furthered today, after Dave replied to my text, saying he would come, and later on in the evening, Stan called me to tell me he was up for it as well. That means that Jamie, Stan and Dave have all said they'd come. It also means that their friends would probably come too.
Jamie would bring Danielle and Mike. Danielle could possibly bring two or three of her friends too.
Stan would bring Lee and Aron.
Dave would bring Sarah, Carl and Glenn.
As you can see, that's quite a few people already.
I've explained to them that if everyone brings some stuff that it would be a great party and they agree. Mike has said he wants a BBQ, which is a good idea, so if people brought burgers and stuff, that could happen. Since none of us can drive and according to my mum, the buses stop at 7pm, anyone who does come will probably stay over, which means the party could potentially go on all night if everyone was up for it.
I've been laying in bed thinking about it. I can't switch off. My mind is racing. I'm thinking about how great it would be if things go to plan and everyone has a great time. I'm thinking that I'd put my computer in the livingroom, then blast music all night long and if there's a song someone wants, I'd just download it and play it. I'm thinking that I'm planning on asking Chris if he has a device to turn a TV into a computer monitor, so I can use the TV in the living room as my screen and play mpegs of porn because that would be funny. I can imagine the back garden full of people having a good time and then a house full of sleeping drunks. Good times good times.
This WILL go ahead damnit.
This would be the first time I've actually held my own party. It's actually kind of a scary thought, as well as a cool one. The only proper party I've been to in the past years has been Dave's a few months ago. There was loads of food and drink there and everyone was having a good time. I want this party to be like that but I'm gonna need my friend's help to make it like that. I'm counting on Dave to help me, since he knows a thing or two about parties. I know nothing.
My mum said she'd buy me a new coat, since the one I currently have is a bit ripped in places. She's lending Chris' Makro card (Makro is a bulk-buy store that is primarily used for businesses) from him so I can see if they have any, since the one I currently have is from there as well. While there though, it will be a good oppurtunity to get some stuff for this party, but I'm not really sure what to get. Do you have any suggestions? I'm counting on people bringing stuff, as I said, but of course, I need to buy stuff too so what would you suggest in terms of food mainly? Leave some ideas in the guestbook.
In addition to the party news, I also have girl news. Shocking, but true.
Jamie gave Mandy my MSN address and we talked for a bit. Mandy is one of Danielle's friends who I've met before when we all go out together. We were talking about relationship stuff and how I was single and looking. I don't fancy her though, she knows that too. Earlier this week though, she said that her friend Jane might be interested and that she would bring her to the AJ's, which she did on Friday. I didn't actually talk to either Mandy, Danielle or Jane, though and after about an hour, they left anyway, but over the weekend, Mandy said that Jane had told her to give me her number to text her so when I got my phone back on Monday I did and she replied on Tuesday morning on the way to college.
I said she was cute, she said she thought I was, but couldn't talk to me at the AJ's because it would of been awkward. We texted throughout the day and then into the night, since she doesn't have the internet. We got kind of intimate towards the end of the night via text (how sad, actually?) and she asked if I wanted to meet up so I said sure. I'm meeting her on Saturday. Woo, date for Neil!
She has, however, said that she's never actually done anything with a guy before, not even kissed or been on a date, which makes me a little apprehensive and even a bit guilty that I might be the first one she kisses. Just a bit of pressure that if stuff does happen, but then it doesn't work out, she's gonna regret her first kiss and hate me or something. But we will see how things go. We're going to go see The Incredibles, a film which has of course been getting a lot of hype. I hope it lives up to its name.
So yeah, houseparty is pushing forward and a date on Saturday. Good week so far!
