I'll Be Playing Darts This Evening


As a belated birthday present (and an extended Fathers' Day present), I bought my dad a Dart board (and darts, etc.) and I'll be heading down to Wicklow tonight to have a few drinks and a few games of darts (if we accidentally hit my mother in the eye, well that can't be helped).



I used to visit my dad a good bit and go for drinks and a catch up but I've barely seen him since Christmas. Tonight I plan on correcting that. Tomorrow will likely see a post about my dad moaning about his life and reminiscing about his past. But, he's a funny drunk, so I'll take the rough with the smooth.

Wish me luck and I'll catch ye all tomorrow.

    Darren, you're very personable. That's a great photo of you both :)

    Everyone, look at the outedness, it doesn't look so scary, does it? Though he basically gave his address out on his blog, despite (and unlike!) Stalker Shan, he is Unafraid...

    Oh man, did you have to put up a picture of that curly hair? Milan won't be able to type for the risk of droooooling in to her keyboard now.

    Well I have to say the first and only thing that photograph was about for me was WtW's hair but I'm a tad disappointed. I expected it to be longer and scrunchier, like in the image on the homepage of Daz's blog. I'm hoping that picture was taken ages ago and that it's grown since then.

    btw Jo - no the outedness stuff still doesn't work with me. I'm still as ueber paranoid about it as I was a year ago. I get the shakes and panic attacks when I think my sister's opening the door while I'm on 49£.

    The day I'm outed is the day my blog days are over and the day I delete all blog records of me, up until SL cops on and denies me access. This i've been aware of for a very long time.

    Girl, it's time to make that paranoia founded and actually post something contraversial!

    I think i've done enough of that over time. Actually I have a topical subject on the way.

    Actually I have a plan - it's called The Milan Initiative. Trips in automatically when your heart rate goes over 200 Milan. Bit like the Hulk. You know she actually interrogates me when I talk to mutual friends as to whether I've said anything that might out her?

    Darts have always been totally cool Darren, can't wait to hear how you got on. Used to be a dab hand when I was 12.

    Jo and Darren sittin up a tree...

    ;)

    Hey all! Cheers for the comments. My ego is now sufficiently inflated.

    'Twas a really fun night, but I won't be doing a follow up post just yet - my hectic social calendar (and Doctor Who) is keeping me busy. I'm heading to a partay in another part of Wickla tonight.

    Ach, that sounds like you'll be too hungover to come see me at the boot sale. Boo!
    Had dinner in Chakra tonight - I looked up at the appartments and suddenly thought, oh! Darren lives there! I don't think I actually noticed them before... eyes on the handbags...

    Jesus Darren, you are being stalked.....fecking hell! Maybe you could exploit these old ladies with their lustful thoughts, some kind of bounder? I love the idea of giving a gift to your dad that means to get to spend time with him....really lovely!
    Milan I have outed myself in several different ways on my blog and I find it very freeing!

    @Jo I wasn't too hungover, but seeing as I got to bed at 7.30am, I really didn't see much of the afternoon and certainly wasn't up for venturing outside the apartment. I will EVENTUALLY get to see you in person.

    @Midge I've had so many stalkers over the years, they could set up a fanclub. Although...that might be a little scary.
