The Yesterday went quite well. I spent all day at The Wall of Stone being gay in an office full of gays doing gay stuff (not what you think). The work I do for them is mostly boring. I used to spend hours watching Hollyoaks and taking notes of gay references made during the show. And I used to type up spreadsheets or research contact details for them on the internet.
Yesterday I had to repeat surveys they took on paper on the internet. So basically I had to do the same online survey 150 times and pretend to be 150 different homophobes leaving comments like
"YUCKYUCK you GAYS! A GAY MAN FLIRTED WITH ME ONCE I HATE YOU ALL"*
or
"WHAT A WASTE OF TIME AND PAPER I DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS AT ALL"*
or
"SURVEYS LIKE THIS WOULD BE BETTER CARRIED OUT DURING SPRING WHEN THERE'S NOT SO MUCH WORK TO DO.
PS: I am scared of gays."*
So, that was quite delightful work. I spent 7 hours on it and then left, gay as a sailor at sea.
Well.
I went back to the hostel and ate more houmous ginger snaps. In my room I met a Swedish girl with massive tattoos and pears she shared with me. Turns out she just left her job and school in Sweden to live in London, even though she doesn't have anything to do yet. She's looking for work as an Aupair. And she is very confused, cause she had never been to London before. So I gave her some advices, cause I am such an old Londoner and know the city like the back of my hand, innit (For example I love saying "innit" all the time.).
Then there was another girl, who we thought was asleep, but after listening to our stories of what we are doing in London she all of a sudden laughed out loud and said: "You arrre both crrrazy." She had a lovely eastern european accent and a shaved head and massive dark eyes and I am a little bit in love with her.
Unfortunately I didn't get to know her better, cause I then had to leave to meet Eva and Sal and Cli at Angel (Still thinking about how to shorten my name so it's only three letters. All London lesbians have three letter names, I think.). In The Green. The Green is cool, during happy hour you get 2 pints for 3.70! Amazing! So we got all a bit drunkity and then went on to the Oak Bar, where I lost a few games of pool. Ah well... Somehow I found my way back to the hostel, too. I remember it involved a dog following me around for ages. I wonder if it is still sitting outside in front of the hostel waiting for me!? Bit scared to go outside and check...
