Friday: Of Clubbing for the First Time in Scotland

Met up with Natalie today, we went shopping I bought a pair of jeans – I had a heck of a time finding non-button jeans. Either way, I found a pair and what made me happy is I now fit comfortably into a 32 waist again!

We also did some window shopping, and just generally hung out for a while. We also went back to OMG and I got another milkshake – Lucky Tatties this time (tastes of cinnamon).

There was a Shit load of snow all day. It snowed most of the day, and it was the wet, sticky variety that doesn’t linger, which is pretty good too.

I decided somewhat last minute to dress up after all for the CeltSoc event. I ended up borrowing pieces for my costume from my friends – I planned to go as a lumberjack – why not live up to the North American stereotype? Unfortunately, I didn’t pull off the burly look; I looked like the stereotypical gay lumberjack. Anyways, I got most of my costume from lesbians (does that make it a double stereotype?)

I went to the Polish Storytelling event in the evening – for the first half anyways, there was an overlap with the CeltSoc event, so I backed out at the half time break. I then went to the Bobbin in my (pathetic) costume. After about an hour there we caught the Campus bus to another bar (Campus is a bar in Aberdeen, and they have a bus to get from Uni to the bar). What I really liked about the first bar we stopped at – Alternative – as it played some awesome songs/music.

Unfortunately, there was also something I didn’t like about the place was because my pants (the new ones I bought in the morning) ripped. It was an incredible rip; from the second reinforcing band below the waist, down along the back pocket to below my buttocks and onto my leg. It was embarrassing as heck, and breezy to boot.

We went on from Alternative to Triple Kirks, Slains Castle, and then Korova. They were alright, but not too awesome. I did like Slains Castle; it’s like a mix between a mad science lab and a Hollywood dungeon.  What I really enjoyed that evening was the Fried Mars Bar that I ate at Marco’s. It sounds really dodgy, I know, but it tastes AWESOME. I totally intend to introduce it to any visitors I have while I live here.
