My diary 2

12.11.22 🎂

well last night i put my phone in the bath to wash it and i saw that water was getting into the screen? so i turned it off and used it later on and slowly but surely this black mist dimmed my screen
it worked in the morning but when i turned the screen on it wouldn't load.. so now i'm using my old phone again lmao

i eventually went downstairs
there were presents and cards on the table and a huge banner on the wall with a picture of me as a baby. and lots of balloons
i wasn't expecting much because of that birthday treat to london for that football game. i got my football shirt, a bottle of wine, some chocolates and a watch
and because i'm 18 now there was a fund made for me by the government. it's doubled from what was originally in it but there's a decent amount
when i went upstairs i called my grandma to say thank you for the football shirt and the card
she was worried that she cake she made me wasn't good enough but i haven't even seen it yet lol. i reassured her that it'll be fine

my family left me home alone and so i played with the balloons downstairs like any grown man would
eventually i went out to meet eliza. the idea of the meeting was to take photos of her for her instagram. so i got walking but eventually i realised i was 30 minutes early so i decided to write in my diary here. i think writing in first person as it happened is better as it's almost like an adventure, like in college

when it was time i walked down and after a while of confusion, found her at the main entrance to the res
we walked around with me taking photos of her from lots of positions, angles and with different props. we wanted the photos to be autumn themed. i took her to that not so secret spot now and took photos there too. after all of this we went to the local shop where i bought her a banana milk and some chocolate donuts. we walked and found a field to sit in and talk about life. we spoke about her boyfriends and my 'girlfriend' from when i first started college in detail
i sort of rushed to leave the house so i wasn't really dressed properly. i also overheat easily and so i did, but after the sun went down i got colder.
i was gonna be late for the family meal so i rushed eliza to the nearest bus stop but i didn't wait for her bus to come as i didn't have 14 minutes to spar. i hugged her goodbye and walked back home

after half an hour and a change of clothing me and the family walked to the local restaurant where we went for my grandads 80th i think? the one with all the girls. well not that i'd know.. okay i did maybe look once or twice but the mfs must employ from a modelling agency because they're all pretty and well mannered with their tight jeans and shit you know?
i had a large meal with a glass of merlot. i think the idea of drinking red grapes which are alcoholic and romantic makes it taste better. the waiter did look at me funny when he gave me the glass but he didn't ask me for ID..? i took it anyway ofc
my grandad gave me the money he keeps insisting of giving me for the singular football match i showed him. i put it in my grandmas hand and said to slip it back into his wallet but she wouldn't take it. i think i'll just buy him some whisky with it
i also tried prosecco for the first time. it's basically like wine with a hint of sparkling water.. not my taste i don't think
i felt drunk afterwards, my words were slow. i think me being able to realise that helps me separate myself from the everyday alcohol consumer
when it was time to go we took family photos and i left a generous tip on the table for the girl who was clearing the tables near me, who was giggling a lot

me and my mum walked home while my grandparents and sister went back to their house
i've cleaned my football boots, sent eliza her photos after sorting them out and now i'm ready for tomorrow!

goodnight
