After last night I should be getting a girlfriend this month.

Every couple of months or so a friend organises a poker night for the lads. It's generally a night of cards, booze, laughs and pepper spray. Ok the pepper spray is some veggie thing my friend makes to go with those cardboard tortilla things. However it's full or peppers and onion type things, the kind of stuff that makes me vomit and the fumes travel several feet. However there was none of that last night so I could actually breathe. And as for the booze side of things, well I'm one of the drivers so I usually have cans of lemony diet coke.

However I really should stop drinking that stuff on poker nights. After my poor display of cardmanship I returned home after dropping a friend off. The combination of caffeine and adrenaline and heat made it hard to get to sleep. So I decided to read until I got tired and then get some sleep. So read until 2am (got home about 1) and then tried to get some sleep.

Having a tickly cough in my throat didn't help and by 3am I hadn't had much success. So a trip to the loo and then raiding me cupboard and getting a bag of Asda's double chocolate chip cookies I tried again. However I ate 3 cookies in order to scratch the tickly part of my throat, and it worked.

I used to keep food in my room when I was younger and I found that I'd wake up at night and start tucking into it, even though I knew I shouldn't. It got to the point where I had to stop keeping food in my bedroom or I'd just eat it at night in some kind of sleep walking way. And other than feeding me stomach, it would leave me with a grotty taste in my mouth and feeling a bit crappy in the morning.

And so I woke up with a grotty taste in my mouth and feeling crap. And worse of all I woke up at 7:40 after less than 5 hours sleep. And to top it off, while waiting for Phineas and Ferb they snuck in an episode of that sodding git, horrid henry. Really that is such a terrible cartoon, whoever came up with it wants locking in a room with it playing constantly for ever.

Anyway, my luck with the cards last night after 3 games ended up with me winning 3 hands in the first game and bugger all else. 3 8s twice and 3 4s and that was it. The amount of times I was dealt something great that turned out to be nothing was ridiculous. We were playing Texas Hold'em which is where you get dealt 2 cards and then 5 cards end up in the middle and it's the best 5 card hand you can make out of them and what's in your hand.

Last night the cards seemed very fond of pairs, threes and the odd full house. There were only a couple straights and 1 flush. However last time we played there was an amazing number of opportunities for straights. I guess it's one of those things where it's just down to how the cards fall for you. Getting Ace and king of clubs is great if you get Queen, Jack and ten or 3 more clubs, if you end up with Ace high, then it kinda sucks. Twice I had both black 8s and fuck all came out, would have been great to have another 8 appear, but no, it just wasn't my night.

Ah well maybe next time. Although that would probably mean the death of this up coming romance I'm going to be having, but I'm used to that. Wonder who I'll get?

I don't have space for a harem, which is why I want to be good at cards so I can win lots of money and buy a mansion and have space for a harem, although then I'd not be able to pull a girl if I bought her in a slave auction.

I've still got another packet of cookies, but as I've not got my harem yet, I don't have anyone to share them with. Maybe I'm just lucky in chocolate?

I don't know why, you'd be a great catch for someone, I'm just guessing that you are in a poor area for decent men and so aren't finding any. Or maybe it's the fact you like certain dodgy adverts that put people off.

I don't own an airline, or even a toy plane.
