The Love Birds Big Challenge

Today I’m struggling to write, the reason for this was that last night I went for the old “meal and a few drinks”. I’m sure that no matter how limited your life experience is, you know that what actually resulted was a messy night out.

The reason I went for to the meal and a few drinks was to see off a good friend as she abandoned us to spend another summer teaching little brats lovely children how to drown swim as part of the Camp America program. This is something she clearly loves doing because this is her third successive year on the program. However, unlike previous years, this year she has had a reason not to go and this is what made last night so interesting.

She is now in a relationship with another friend of mine from when we were both kids. I lost touch with him when he moved to what at the time seemed like a far away land, but now I’m all grown up and allowed further than the end of the street, I realise its about 5 minutes walk away. Needless to say, when I bumped back in to him a while back, during his bands gig at one of the local boozers, I was really glad to find out that he’s still a great lad. A few nights later, and without my knowledge, they love birds recognised each other and got chatting … the rest is sloppy and as I dont have a disclaimer regarding sick and peoples keyboards/monitors I’ll refrain from telling you it all. Despite this gut wrenching sloppiness I’m really glad they have met and you can tell that this is a really serious relationship, despite it only being a few months old.

So to get back on track, whilst last night was a celebration, it also had an undertone of uncertainty, as the two love birds began to realise that any day now she was jetting off to Boston for the summer. It was nice to see two good friends caring so much about each other and what was even better for me was the fact that I knew just how deep their feelings for each other where before they did, so I know everything will be ok, even if they don’t!

Everyone had a great night and I managed to snap a few photos that where actually in focus, despite being a little bit messy myself. As usual they’re all on my Flickr Account if you want to take a peak.
