Things that go bump in the night

got up at around.. one, yesterday and sort of.. floated around till four, and then got dropped of at alex's house. where they were.. playing cricket in the garden. it was quite hot, and more so after some bouncing around on the trampoline. stuff happened. there was a bbq, and um. yeah. matt failed to show up (he was apparantly in devon) um. there was a water/ice fight, mainly between andy and hebs.. who both got soaked.. at least twice... i think after they dried off we moved into the tent, where i beleive some people attempted to play twister. but that didn't last long.. i vaugely remember charades........... but the least said about that the better.

after a while everyone ended up in their sleeping bags, OBVIOUSLY following gillis' lead. (all the cool kids were doing it...)the lights went out, and "everyone went to sleep". which really just means that everyone stopped talking, and probably tried to sleep. i was feeling a bit restless, and being me, didn't really expect to sleep, so i was just lieing down, just thinking. i find it extremely annoying that i can have a perfectly clear head at stupid o'clock in the morning but during the hours normal people are awake i'm either asleep or in a fuggy haze...

the whole being very awake and being surrounded by people who are asleep thing was made more annoying by the fact that i had no friggin idea what time it was. i miss my watch.. and my phone.. stupid.. time..

...anyway, as a result of having no way of knowing the time i don't know when it was i went out to sit down and gaze at the stars. i wish i'd had my glasses, because out where alex's house is, there's no light pollution, so you can see the stars.. like a sky littered with diamonds.. i just lay there under the stars for a while, with my sleeping bag wrapped around me (it was cold... even with the damn sleeping bag)

at some point i got back into the tent, but decided to stay in the main bit, instead of risking waking up andy or dave, as i thought i might go back out later. (to see the sunrise, or just stargaze again) at some point, (woo, vauge time again) sami and alex woke up, or got up, or whatever. the three of us went to the front of the house , to see if we could see the sunrise. the view from the gate would have been pretty stunning, the dark blue and orange sky, the trees and fields.. were it not for the friggin electricity pylons... after that, we went round the back again, and the others slowly started waking up too, starting with andy. we were locked out of the house all night, so when alex's brother came down at half six or seven or whenever it was, we went inside.

most of the rest of stuff is a blur, induced by tiredness. i know we watched monty pythons the meaning of life, and i know i managed to locate all by myself all the necessary ingredients and tools for a cup of tea. i celebrated and then realised i had no idea where the cups were -_- but it didn't take long to find them either. breakfast happened somehow, and there was a BB gun and smash bros. but mostly after that i remember being annoyed at parents for waking me up after only about 4 hours sleep when i got home... so there we have it.
