Happy Birthday

It's Liz's birthday, so a happy birthday to her. Unfortunately, due to having an exam tomorrow, I can't be there. Bah. On the other hand, tomorrow I am moving out of Aberystwyth. Yes, I shall be leaving as soon as I can after I've finished my exam. I've got to revise and pack during today and so far I've managed neither. Bollocks.

Ahhh less than 24 hours now until I leave. I can taste freedom.

Tomorrow is also our (Liz and my) anniversary which is part of the reason I am scarpering from Aberystwyth so quickly. We're planning on having a fair amount of beer which will be a suitably fitting end to 4 years of sobriety. Well okay, maybe that's not entirely true. Okay perhaps it's almost an outright lie... Although I've not been wasted for over a year: The last time was on my birthday last year when Burt kept buying me drinks all night and I, slightly stupidly, continued drinking them all night. This resulted in me vomiting blood when I got back to the flat, then passing out on the bathroom floor, and I've had the urge to be much more careful since then... Anyway my point is that I've not drank very much at all while I've been a student.

As stupid as it sounds I'm terrified about the drive tomorrow. It's tough to spend 4 hours driving from Aber to Newbury at the best of times, but with the car rammed full of my personal belongings it's going to be all the more risky. The car will be heavier which can lead to a whole host of problems, the car will become a target for thieves when I stop at the services and I'm just generally scared that after a year and a half of waiting to be in a position where I can actually make the move to Newbury that something could go wrong on the way there. It'd be oh so typical if I got smashed to a pulp by a sodding lorry on the way there.

I'm probably just being paranoid, I'm sure it'll be fine.

Anyway not sure how I got from Liz's birthday to being smashed by lorries on the motorway. Back on topic: Happy birthday Liz! :D
