he's coming home on the 21st... the same date as my driving test. then the next day is rik's birthday, then i think rik's FINALLY coming home from his eastern europe travels the next day or the day after. hurrah!
also gave dan the address to look at all my Join Meet pics (they're on the New Photos page of my website) I've been trying to not appear nerdy and I-spend-all-my-time-on-the-computer-y so i was like 'yes, i'm sad, i have my own website' lol, and then i prompted him 'you're meant to say 'no no, that's not sad at all, i understand that there is nothing else to do in the village in which you reside'!' and he was like 'no no no, it's not sad! i have my own site too' and gave me think to his blog page.
So i then sat and read that for probably longer that I should. I worked my way back past his birthday (April 25th), past him deciding that he wants to be South American (March), past him breaking up with his girlfriend and deciding that he's a failure at everything (February), past him feeling misunderstood by everyone (December onwards) and him having a lot of work to do and always leaving it to the last minute (basically all the time).
So now I feel like I know him more. Yay. He's a funny badger sometimes. At one point he was doing a few gigs with his friend Ben, and they couldn't think of a name (they tended just to go with "Ben and Dan" or was it "Dan and Ben".. but still) and LOL dan goes "I want to call it "The Dan James Band" but Ben won't agree. The fool!"
Oooo.. and he works at a mental hospital. I don't know if that's the PC term for it. And LOL on his first day there, this one guy told him really secretively and wink-wink-ily "you should ask if you could......" wink wink "... unload the dishwasher!" And so Dan was obviously like, errm... what? I just do what the nurse tells me to do! So the guy told him to ask the nurse to tell him to unload it, and then the nurse came in and was like 'what's he saying?' so Dan told him. And it turns out that this guy's job is to unload the dishwasher every evening, so he was trying to get out of it.... LOL.
OK, it was funny when I read it in Dan's blog.
Anyhoos.. see... don't you feel like you know him now too?
