I've already been at uni for a week, its madness, but this does unfortunately mean that nights of mindless partying and debauchery are over as I now have to start doing some work aswell. Obviously there will still be a good few nights out in the near future I expect, there are a number of bands on and the indie 'lost disco' starts tomorrow which should be awesome. But they are the subjects of future blogs and this one will probably have enough for 2 or 3.

I left you last time on my way to the hell is for heroes gig, I since then have discovered that I dont like hell is for heroes or for that matter who ever the warm up band was. It was loud and heavy and people were trying to start a mosh pit. on the plus side i did go and get my picture taken with the lead singer which made the people who actually like the band jealous. There was then an 'alternative' disco on which was in parts ok playing the likes of placeabo and someone else that was quite good.

Friday night we thought we would just have a quiet one, so we went to the SU bar and then into the games room where we played a bit of pool, I managed to show how bad I am to a set of new people which was mildly embarrasing but I dont care. We then played on the old it-box (pub quiz type machine for people who dont know) for a good hour and a half, there is this game called hex appeal, clever and fun, so we were all gathered round that and shouting at the screen. We then went up to the flat at about 1:30 and started an impromptue party. It started by just playing cards but then it got louder and if you make noise people come to the noise and before you know it.. party. It was probably the most drunk I got in all of freshers and I got my laptop out to the kitchen and got the macarena playing. only 3 people joined in, it was very dissapointing. Unfortunately we did end up waking up the dutch girl at about 5 o'clock and she got quite angry which is understandable as we actually said we wouldn't have a party. I did meet a 3rd year who gate crashed our party though which was hilarious as i just made lots of jokes about him being old which when drunk were hilarious, especially the ones about him listening to Jack Johnson.

Saturday I watched the England match in the SU that was rubbish and then we went to the SU bar again in the evening to hear a bit of Karaoke and jason from our flat did some, unfortunately he is a really good singer so it takes some of the fun away. We then went to Discord, which is the regular alternative (can you put those words together.. hmm) which started off quite well with some 70s and 80s music - moved onto popular indie and then branched off into obscure shouty crap at which point i left, went briefly to a party which was also bad and then went back to the flat where i ate someones cereal.

Now onto Sundays event which is really big enough to write a whole blog about but I will try to compress it a bit so as not to make this too long. We went to see a hypnotist show. The night started with a Canadian comedian who was basically a big bald man who made lots of jokes about cocks and sex which is funny but a little predictable, but then came the main event.

The hypnotist got on stage and told everyone to do something which if you concentrate hard enough your arms hands supposedly end up stuck together, but that didnt happen to me so I didn't go on stage, to prove they wernt plants though (which was obvious anyway cos they were random students from uni) he picked a couple of other people to do it aswell, claiming it would work anyway.

At first when he put them to sleep he made them do things like shiver cos it was cold or wipe their head as it was hot which was quite cool but not brilliant. As the night went on it got cruder and cruder, making people imagine they were having sex and he made guys pretend they were women and suck other mens.. and yes. One of the funniest bits was when he goes when i touch your leg you will have the loudest orgasm youve ever had and this one girl went on for ages was brilliant. Other things were making them hump there chairs and it even got as far as having guys licking cream off each other and stuff. Was really perverse but was without doubt one of the funniest things I have ever seen

Just before the end he made people do things after they had left the building, one of the flatmates Ben, his friend was up there and his mate was told that when he got home he would call up all his friends and tell them he had a dildo stuck up his arse and then hang up and so sure enough at about 12:30 Ben got a phonecall, he put it on loudspeaker and we heard him say it as clear as day.

I was sceptical about hypnotism before I saw that but now I believe it entirely, it was classic

Today I had my first lectures and seminar which were boring but ah well, I think I will have a quiet night tonight before lost disco tuesday and the underwater social on Wednesday, until the next one tarrah for now
