David James

Me, Andrew and Bertie went for our first uni visit today to see Emma over in Middlesex.
After a really short drive we went to the freshers fair to check out all the clubs and the sort, and on the way there we found a box with twenty two orange and passion fruit J2Os, they'd been thrown out because they were a month out of date but you don't say no to that much free drink. In the fair we made sure to grab loads of free pens, bottle openers, bibles, gay fans and 'orange soda' favored condoms, we certainly managed to get quite a good haul of crazy stuff. I put my name down for the Hockey team as David James, the first generic name I could think of, and as I walked away I heard someone shouting from the table 'David... David... David!' It took me a few seconds to realize he was talking to me. When I walked back he told me that his first and middle names were David James and that the guy next to him was called David James too, and even showed me his ID to prove it, looks like it was a little too generic.
The whole time I was in the uni I went by the story that I studied Ancient Japanese Art and Literature, which got a lot of respect from the legitimate students.
Me and Bertie (Bertie and I?) were left in the back of Andrew's car to occupy ourselves for a while after that. First as Andrew and Emma did some shopping in Asda, Bertie hooked up his synth to the car's ridiculous sound system and sat making up songs for a while. And then as we sat outside Emma's place waiting to go we put on some really loud dance tunes, and we just happened to be parked right down the road from a primary school exactly as the kids were coming out, so we had quite a few little dudes and ladies getting down to the beat as they passed, which was cool.
It really makes me look forward to all the other uni visits. Today was only for a day and is about a 20 minute drive away, but the rest of them are going to be pretty long journeys where we'll have to crash out overnight on sofas and the such, which is going to be absolutely awesome.
