It may just be me, but my friends are awesome... and it's not just me, they are.

Anyone who reads this blog regularly will know that I absolutely love my friends and will take any opportunity possible to exploit their words and moments on this thing so that I can immortalise their words for ever.

You will also know that there is no one I love doing this more than with One-And-Only-Daniela. The reason for this is that I did not give her this nickname lightly. There is literally no one like her and, when talking to her I have no idea what I am going to expect. I love it.

Today, due to the fact that my birthday is a month and a half away and I always just pass it by without doing anything overly big, I decided to go all out and do something this year. I have decided to go to a Cabaret dinner/show followed by a 1950s club... there is a very good reason for this latter event. One-And-Only-Daniela and myself went to a Grease themed party the other week, put on by the same people who did our Bugsy Malone night out, I bought a 1950s dress and petticoat for it and I was damned if I was only going to wear it once!

Suggesting this night out to a group of my Essex friends today has had to be the best thing I could have done. They have been making me laugh heartily. There's a large chance that you guys aren't going to find this funny, but I have to immortalise it because I adore my friends and the things they say to me:

This is a facebook conversation today.

One-And-Only-Daniela has been shortened to OAOD

Me: I'm going to this Cabaret/1950s club in Soho, wanna come?

Jo-Jo: I'm in, But... I thought that was a bondage/PVC type place (ahem, not that I'd know) ? xxxx

Me: Wow! Not that I know! There are riskay nights, it's a little naughty but in a burlesquey type way. We're going on a cabaret night. Check out the website! Lots of people recommend it... maybe we should bring whips just in case.

Jo-Jo: Haha, now where did I put that gimp mask???? Hmmm xxx

Me: LOL!!!!!!!!

Me: I have to share this, I was just emailing One-And-Only-Daniela at work:

.... Me: Jo's comment had me in stitches!!

.... Pause

.... OAOD: What's a gimp mask?

.... Me: Oh you do make me laugh. Google it.

.... OAOD: OMG they're scary!

Yes, I do report back to everyone in transcript, I find it gives a little bit more of an finesse to it... don't judge me, I get my kicks where I can.

To my parents who may be reading this and thinking that I'm going to a strip/fetish club as Jo-Jo suggested, this is not the case, it is a cabaret night and will be in good taste. I promise we will not be taking any whips or gimp masks with us. I have looked into it, it is not that kind of club...

So I am on a 'my friends are awesome and I'm feeling happy to know other people outside of myself' high at the moment. Sometimes it's nice to socialise with people every so often.

Peace out my lovelies
