New Group

I'm still being a bit slack with my posts, so sorry if the next couple aren't the best on here. I was going to write a couple out last night but ended up doing the whole 'Lost In Translation' thing. I spent the evening with the others in our own private karaoke room high in a building overlooking the main road. It was shocking really, exactly how the movies make out. Every now and then a guy would come in and eagerly change the microphones over, not that we were really using them. The videos that accompanied the tracks were the best, completely unrelated to the songs themselves and created in the cheesiest 80's style i've ever seen. Drink was the only way through but I'm still being victimised for my dislike of beer, but i'm going to stand my ground on this one. Vodka was too expensive so I found refuge in JD and coke (I never thought I'd see the day!).

Anyway the group are nice, we've been together for just over a week now. Initially I took a little while to take to them. I was partly disappointed by the lack of diversity amoungst us (everyone is of similar age and all except one are from GB), and I think I also missed the old VodkaTrain group(s). The first few days I found I spent more time with other members of another group following us a couple of days later. One of these was an Australian who'd I'd met whilst crossing the road. General Western courtasy here is to acknowledge one another as we pass, but I was nervous she'd turn out to be German or Italian or something and I'd still end up in a dead end convosation. After a mad dash across the road avoiding everything and anything on wheels, it turned out we both spoke English and we were fine to communicate.

From the last group I'm not missing the jibes about my upset at lack of hair straightners, but I am missing borrowing some from Sarah! This new group is mostly girls so I think tonight on the train I might ask about to locate some more. Apart from that there isn't too much more to say about them, we've barely mixed as a whole as the group is really big, 16 of us in all, but we're all starting to see more of each other now and are getting on well.
