in what I must say was a real turn up for the books, I was an hour early at the station, and roms just, just, just made it. He had the tickets so if he didn't get there in time, I couldn't have gone either. conventional wisdom says that out of me and rom, he would be the person more likely to print out the tickets efficiently and then be on time at the station. but it's not true! conventional wisdom lied! would his excuses were:
1. he missed his train
2. oh and he missed his bus also
Here are how his smses went (our train was at 8:50):
1. 7:13 am - "I'm awake!"
2. 8:40 am - "I'm so fucking anxious. K go there and I'll try and run. But still no sign of a train so I dunno"
3. 8:43 am - "Oh my god. The train is getting here in one minute. This is some kind of ridiculous movie."
By this point i had given up and was sitting on the floor reading my book, feeling very disappointed because I had even bought nice sweets for out train journey.
But then he made it! he came screeching round the corner very flustered indeed, and i jumped up with my bags and my sweets and my books and we hopped on to the train JUST as it was leaving.
it was VERY EXCITING.
you can see how excited i am in these pictures. those things on my fingers are rings, from our giant bag of Train Sweets.
i look really old in both of these photos. i hope its just the lighting otherwise what did i stop smoking for then?
