Last Friday F1 & Ross hosted a pseudo-Christmas party; i.e. a get together with the premise that everyone attending had to bring decorations for their tree. This was, of course, simply their way of being cheap and avoiding decorating their own tree. :P (though in their defence they did get the lights themselves) That was… Read more
Last night I went out with the Francisco’s, Ross, Emily, Bob & Kevin, to the King’s Head down in Campbell. It was an abrupt decision – F2 messaged me at 9:45pm or somesuch.
