Most people know that Durex create condoms. What I think most people are unaware of is that Durex also create vibrating rings, called Play Vibrations. You put them over the penis and it has a little box thing that vibrates, stimulating the penis and the clitoris during sex. Sweet mother of fuck, whoever invented these things deserves a medal. Scratch that, they deserve a temple. Keep an eye out for them, lovers - they are AMAZING. We bought one because we thought it looked Interesting... we REALLY wished we'd bought more.

The hotel room was disappointingly small - especially as I asked for an "executive double" and was told on the day "We can't do that because of availability" - well, you get what you pay for, and it pays to do your research I guess. Next time (and there probably will be a next time) we get a hotel room, we might both put money in and try to get somewhere really nice, like the Ritz or the Hilton. For now, if you're in London, avoid the "Hyde Hotel" of Paddington like the plague. Apart from the size of the room though, the weekend away was very nice. Lots of sex (vibrating and not-vibrating), some shopping, and generally being together. We didn't use the room that much really, except for sex. Also feeling quite grown up - checking into and out of a hotel, sorting out all of our meals, making decisions and planning the day... most of which we've done before (except the hotel bit) but it was all quite mature.

When I go travelling I am definitely getting a better backpack.

On Friday night we went to a birthday party for my ex-dealer and randomly bumped into KS. I haven't mentioned her for months. For those of you who can't be bothered to trawl through the archives, she's EK's little sister - EK being a very good friend of mine and ex-stoner buddy. I fooled around with her best mate, and later on proceeded to get involved with her. We only ever kissed once, on a drunken night, there was a bit of rubbing... it was all a bit teenage, a bit "We're friends and sort of fancy each other but nothing's really there". But back in the day we were pretty close. She was the first person (of many) to tell me that I was becoming arrogant. She's good friends with N too. And on Friday night I was getting on really well with her.

Now the interesting thing about me and N is that while we share some similarities, we are really very different. Opposites attract and all that. She doesn't laugh at my jokes, she thinks I'm a geek, I think her choice of music is slightly suspect and her friends are bitches. But we're both fucked up and love each other :). KS, on Friday night, was laughing at my jokes, we were talking about the same subjects and being interested in the subjects we were talking about... it was nice. So nice, in fact, that N remarked that it should be KS going out with me, not her. That the two of us made a better couple than me and her. Now of course me and KS were both quick to say "No, no, of course not, it wouldn't work"... but certainly I was thinking "Actually, you might be right there, maybe we would make a very good couple", and I think KS might have been thinking it too, at least just a bit.

But I will not get involved with her again - once bitten, twice shy - especially when I'm going out with a good friend of hers, and she's the little sister of one of my best mates. But it was an interesting "What if..." moment.

Back to work tomorrow. Huzzah.

And I know I'm a cunt, but I do try not to be, honest.
