I decided to book my train and hostel for Edinburgh. Although I was tempted to just buy a return train ticket for the same day I just couldn't resist packing in two full days worth of shows so I caved in and booked a night in a hostel. Annoyingly the hostel I normally stay in is charging £220 for one night! This is absolutely insane, in fact if I was a staff member at this hostel I would question if the owner has had some sort of Jack D Ripper from Dr Strangelove-style breakdown and potentially call out the men in white coats to have him sectioned under the mental health act. Who in their right mind is going to pay £220 to sleep in a bed for one night unless it's the bed that Marilyn Monroe fucking overdosed in? For £220 I'd want all the performers for the shows I want to see to come to my bedside and perform the show there! Luckily there is another hostel right next to the train station that was only charging £50 for the night so obviously I went for this one instead. Last year's Edinburgh ended up doing me a lot of damage because I fell in love with a girl who would be perfect for me but I realised much to my distress that I would have no chance in a million years with her because of how confident she is and because of what a supremely fearful, antisocial little weasel I am (and before you ask NO I haven't considered signing up to one of Andrew Tate's alpha male classes). However I'm not going to let this major heartbreak dissuade me from seeing some amazing shows at the greatest festival in the world and hey I suppose there's always the chance that this girl I fell in love with will be in the same cell un-air conditioned room as me at the hostel and we may get to talking about the mold and the rats and she might realise that I am in fact the man of her dreams (although knowing my luck she's probably staying at the £220 hostel and will ended up sharing a room with a bloke who looks exactly like me but have 1000% more confidence than I do and they'll end up banging right there on the middle bunk).
