kingandySo, plans for the weekend.
Friday I will be driving home to Manchester and going to the pub. It will be the Woodstock. Sorry,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
arwel, much as I love you I remember the last time we went to the pub with your workmates - they stole you away from us. (I think it was you. It was definitely Kro2.) And this is your Christmas party so they'd actually have prior claim on you, or something. Woodstock is, broadly speaking, easier and more appealing.
Then on Saturday I get the train back to Ilkley, to be picked up by my old friend Paul who will drive me to Coventry to be with the people that I still consider to be my friends despite only seeing them twice a year. It's not like they're just "old school friends," this isn't Friends Reunited, these were my friends. We were the geeks who stayed after school to roleplay, and played Magic: The Gathering in our lunchbreaks (I never bought any cards, just sponged off them). And we never talk, and it's wrong. So this takes priority.
If you're wondering why I made such a point of explaining that - Big Gay Phil rang up this evening to demand I explain why I am not going to SoS this weekend. I've not been for a good few months now, what with Waypoint and weddings and oh all sorts of thing. It's all about priorities. SoS is generally quite low on my list of priorities, because it's on every month, so if anything more interesting comes along I'll happily ditch it once in a while. But now I have been neglecting SoS, so in January it takes priority. I don't want any of you to think I've abandoned you all ... still, it feels good to know I have been missed, even while I am sad that you have had to miss me.
Anyway. I assume we're staying overnight (it's supposed to start at 7 and it would be a bit late to drive home by that point) so I'll be back in Ilkley on Sunday. From there I will get the train back to Manchester - hopefully in time foricklejo's birthday pubbage. Then on Monday I drive to work and back to Bolton as per usual for D&D-related kicks. And that's the weekend.
