![]() Since my friend Nathan arrived I seem to have found myself being transported back in time when we drank until morning, had an hours sleep, go to work, get home, have a shower then do it all over again. This time round though we dont seem to be doing as well as we are both 7 years older and have the vile hangovers to match. If I ever wondered if I could be a rep again, I now know the answer is irreverently no. In fact, I wouldnt want to be even if I was a few years younger. Going into repping is not going into a normal job, it is going into a lifestyle and if your lifestyle does not involve hanging with people that you would never ever dream of hanging with in the UK, you dont feel the love for booze and you dont want to work every hour that god gives, then this lifestyle is not for you thats for sure. If I had to do my time again, could I? No, not at the merry age of 30 (nearly 31 god dam it!). But enough of that, what I really need to get out is what I have actually been up to since Monday's arrival of the Nathan... Firstly let me point out that he gave me the wrong date of arrival so I was expecting him a whole day before he actually got here (and he calls himself an ex rep FFS!). So when I finally realized he was not coming, I managed to catch up on some very overdue sleep. Monday: Nathan was up with the larks while I struggled to make it through the day. There had been no alcohol consumed as yet as I had only picked him up at 5am, so I seriously have started to realize that a girl of 30 years and older needs at least 10 hours of sleep a night to function and feel less Zombi like and more socialite. Alas there was no escaping Nathans first night of holiday drinking, and off course we hit the town, zimmer frames and all. The Yanki and his Yanki friend joined the fellowship of alcohol gang, and even though I didnt think that I was particularly drunk, I bloody well must have been as I seem to recall arguing with Yanki's pal re vegetarianism and also inviting anyone that would listen to my karaoke night that I host on a Thursday. Not my cleverest of moments as that means I will have to get super drunk just to get on the mic... Tuesday: What a surprise, Tuesday started off with a god dam hangover and a half. Then I turned on the work email and Christ alive I could have died. Over 50 emails sitting there waiting to be answered. Not my proudest day on the planet let me tell you. One email caught my eye though. Not so much of a work email but a request email from a website that I am a member of where you can advertise and rent your room out to travelers. To be honest I had forgotten that I was a part of that community as I very rarely check it. The email was from a French guy and his American friend requesting to book my spare rooms over night. Due to Nathan being here, booking out rooms was a no go, however I had suggested some alternatives, and with that, the French guy suggested drinks. Seeing as though I seem to be up for meeting random strangers on a regular basis, I agreed to the drinks as Nathan and I were going out anyway, so may as well tie it all in with one shot and a few drinks in bar street. And thats just what we did. However before all this, I had a drive to Dalaman thrown in as my friend Helen (Joanne the Mingers sister) had just given birth. Although kids are not high on my radar right now, I obviously had to go as if I didnt, Joanne the Minger would have never forgiven me due to me agreeing to this last night when she called to tell me that Helen had dropped! Nathan was not looking forward to the hours drive to visit a baby, but he got on with it letting me know the whole way there and the whole way back how much he was not enjoying the drive one little bit and how he seemed to be burning up even more as the sun was on him both ways. Silly Bugger. When we finally got back to Marmaris and met the French guy for drinks, I must point out that he was an absolute diamond and I happened to like him a lot. I was pleasantly surprised once again that I enjoyed an evening with random travelers, and it was a huge assed shame that they were not around for longer. Without going into it too much, meeting people that you wouldnt normally meet in less than normal circumstances opens your eyes to a world that exists outside of Marmaris that I seem to be rediscovering in the last couple of weeks. I seem to be itching to get the hell out of here and find more random people in more random places and I really should start putting a plan into action for getting out of the rut that I seem to be stuck in and go traveling. Maybe France should be on my hit list then? I have had many a holiday to France with the Parents when I was younger, but now that I am a nearly worldly wise woman, maybe its time to see France through adult eyes. I best get saving then hadnt I... After all, I do need a break, right? I seem to have meandered off the tale of Tuesday night, but put it this way, a good night was had by me and my randomness as Wednesday's hangover was something so vile that it nearly put me off alcohol forever. Nearly. Wednesday: Thankfully I convinced Nathan not to go out and party. Not much convincing needed actually as he refused to leave his room for the full day. I guess you could say that his tiredness and hangover were holding him hostage. Being the hostess that I am, I decided to cook a mean veggi lasagna and dragged Nathan out of his room for just long enough to eat and watch a DVD. Poor bugger was a sick puppy indeed. I managed to make it into bed before dawn and woke up fully refreshed and nearly ready for round 3. Thursday: And so it begins again... Yes tonight is the dreaded Karaoke night. Can I do a 'Face Off' style transplant just for tonight? I seriously hope that my memory tricked me into believing that I invited lots of people but in actual fact I invited no one. Could this single socialite be that lucky you wonder? Well, we should know by now that no is the answer to that one...
