My feet smell like popcorn

I'm really excited by all this photo blogging. I need to find someone with a camera I can borrow so I can do one next week but for now I'll try Juliet's challenge

First though, a quick rundown. This week was pretty rad, I went to this Islamic cultural appreciation event and saw a Qawwali band and got free curry which was sick. Nobody even caught us drinking JD and coke in an Islamic event - Bi-winning. Monday I went to the St. Piran's Day celebration at my union bar and jammed with this awesome Cornish folk band who were SIIIIICKKKK and really hard to keep up with. Last night I went to the pub which was fairly uneventful, just a quiet drink with friends but nice all the same. I honestly can't think of anything I've done this week during the day besides play 007: Nightfire and pick my 3rd year modules (The Ku Klux Klan module looks awesome). But yeah, that's it. It's a beautiful day outside in Falmouth today so I'll be going for a bike ride when this blogs over.

On with the challenge (this is going to make me homesick):

In order of blogging days -

DAVID
David is my oldest friend from kittens and probably the oldest of all my friends today so choosing a photo would be difficult. David already used the one of us playing songs at Lydiard which I would have picked first. I wish I had a photo of the night we played Oh Mandy at Kate's house (it was Kate's house, right?) and it was awesome. Even though me and David could rock it out from time to time, I've chosen this photo from Trees 2011. We were trying to fit a gas canister which definitely shouldn't have fit onto my camp stove while being pretty drunk, the propane sprayed all in my eyes and on David and it almost broke our fingers but David stuck to it by my side and got that goddam gas canister on despite the fact that it was blatantly not sensible. That's why David is such a friend and a true true bro - he will always have your back.

CATH
This photo was taken in revolution a couple of summers ago and I'm pretty sure this was us singing 'sex on fire'. I couldn't really find a photo that sums me and Cath up better than this but if there was one of us in Chemistry class at College then I would totally use that because it was the first time I really started hanging out with Cath, she made chemistry fun (an impossible task) and drove us places when we decided to skip class and took a lot of Paul's heat off of me. Ever since Chemistry, I have considered Cath one of my best friends.

JULIET
Going home on Thursdays between college classes to eat food and watch films will always be the defining times for me and Juliet in my mind - I think that year we really became friends. And like Juliet said, that time we got pissed on Aspall, went shopping and watched Mouse Hunt so hard it made us 20 minutes late for uni was fucking brilliant. I was going to use a photo of us in London when we stayed at Juliet's Dad's flat because he likes me more than her but I could just remind you of that here instead: Hey Juliet! Nick loves me more than you :)

TOM (I'm counting Tom in this)

This one is from London, the first time I really hung out with Tom besides seeing him on the Commonweal playing field. This guy was crazy and I swear he almost fell on Tom which was pretty fun. Tom's a real bro and its weird trying to think back to the first time we hung out, it seems like a really long time now.

WILL
This is easily my photo for me and Will a) because its awesome and b) because it reminds me of all the times in the summer in Will's car. Like Juliet said before, I think the summer before uni was the best one ever and I owe a lot of it to Will, it was also about this time when I got to know Will properly and I've never looked back.

Well, this has made me sufficiently nostalgic and homesick. I'm going now.

EDIT: I forgot a song:
