So near but yet...
I was out last night for the first "ESE reunion" since graduation. We went to Waxy's in Glasgow. I saw Iain, Ross and Craig (sadly Emma couldn't make it due to work commitments). It was Steven Strowes' birthday, and so he was also there with lots of folk from CS past and present (Craig McDonald, Scott Porter, Iain McGinniss, John O' Hare et al).
Afterwards, Iain, Craig and I went to a party at Mariken's, but the party was short-lived as everyone suddenly decided to go to Cheesy Pop @ the QM. I got chatting to a girl, Susan, who was in the party. She was heading elsewhere, and asked me if I'd like to join her. At first I started making my way towards the QM with the others, but I didn't want to leave Susan waiting for a taxi in the rain herself (how romantic, you say!), and so I went back to get her.
Armed with a bottle of vodka, we eventually hailed a cab and went to the "party" at her friends - which was at Caledonian Court student halls, and consisted of a bunch of freshers getting drunk. Sadly it was an all-male affair - not another girl in sight - but I was chuffed anyway to be with Susan. We sat drinking 'til the morning in Susan's friends room - Susan me, and her 2 male friends.
She was clearly interested in me, and kept putting my arm around her, but it felt awkward, as I could tell her friends were jealous and she also told me she had a boyfriend. She had offered to let me stay at her place and to make me breakfast in the morning (how romantic, you say!). Unfortunately, come the morning, her friends insisted on escorting her home (on the way to the Ross County game - at 6am!!) and that was my chances down the pan! Feck!
Still, though, it was a good night and she was hot stuff, but I suppose it wasn't to be, and I remain in that limbo known as singledom.
If it wasn't for those pesky Ross County fans...

Just be happy in the knowledge that Ross County were soundly beaten by the mighty Paisley St. Mirren.
I saw a highlight from one of the 1st division games in which someone scored from near-enough the half-way line. Don't know which game it was... St Mirren perhaps?
Indeed that was against St. Mirren, but we still won. :-p
Hi Duncan:),
Took me a while to find you (I'm terrible at computer-stuff, unlike some people;)).
Susan was asking for you. Was wandering if you made it home ok. She does really like you I think, but she does have a boyfriend. Think she finds it hard to distinguish between making friends and making boy-friends...if you know what I mean. Cannot give you her phone number on here, but if you e-mail me or something (is my e-mail address on my blog? Dunno... anyway) I could give you her e-mail address, or ask her if I can anyway. But if I were you I'd look out for a single girl instead;).
Hope you don't think I was rude! Didn't mean to be. I'm Dutch: I cannae help it;)!
Hope to see you again sometime, and hopefully have some time to actually talk!
Byeee
