lastfm

After not using it at all, I'm getting really into using it. Although I'm not pleased with how low my play count is. It's pretty useful, and connected me with some bands I'd completely forgotten about.

I saw Chopping today which was nice, we had milkshakes from Cooler Shake. I think he had a butterscotch one and I had a Reece's Cup one, they were well needed after getting overly stressed out at work. Gus met me after that and we lazed around the park.

I had a really great weekend, and Angus cooked for me, tasty and means I intend to get him to cook for me more often.

Me and Jess hung out Friday night, bumped into the gang, Stu, Wes and Gus, and his two friends Sarah and Sophie, both really cool girls. It was a rad night, had some good juice, and was funny to see everyone bully Robbie (well sort of haha) Musk was around for a little while as well which was good but it was so busy and by the time we left we had no chance of saying goodbye.

I might go eat some cookies now.

chickpea overload

euggggh, so much humous, I actually will turn into a chickpea. I got these amazzzing oatcakes from Waitrose and man do they go well with humous!

I saw Gus today which was nice, it wasn't for long though, I plan to steal him over the weekend.

I feel so content, and so happy, I don't want anything to ruin this, we've waited so long and it seems to be going well so far, hopefully it'll continue.

tentatively

'hand in hand, shy eyes.'

I've realised a few things lately, and it's a little overwhelming. I hope this works.

it's been a while...

I've been rather slack for a month or so(?) as I am on holiday now I thought it best to update.

Friday was really cool, I caught up with my friend Brad, I hadn't seen him in oh so long. Lots of laughing and good food. Saturday I got up really early and got the train down to London to hang out with Gary, I was pleased to see he was sporting some post 50s attire, long socks and double denim plus quiff. We went into Black Pearl, this amazing 40s/50s store with corsets (one of which I must buy as it was quite reasonable in comparison to the others) we had GOOD Redveg, the best vegan fast food place. We went to loads of vintage shops (Gary flatly refused to let me buy the fringed denim jacket in tuxedo style for some reason) but the things I actually wanted to get didn't seem to exist i.e tan boat shoes and a tan belt that wasn't thick or thin but still a good waist belt? Trawling the internet was not helpful either. Anyway it was a nice day out regardless. Gus came and met me at the station, and we had a really great time watching (or in my case, hiding in Gus' shoulder) Drag Me To Hell, it wasn't what I expected, which was a teen orientated horror with a predictable ending...though Gus predicted the end anyway, but it was a truely funny gorey film. I haven't seen the director's previous films apart from Spiderman which doesn't count.
Sunday was church and it was really great as per usual, and then we had a BBQ. Monday I hung out shopping and probably looked like I was stalking (unintentionally) the staff of Dogfish as I seemed to be in there so often, but I secured my brother's snazzy shirt and feeling very poor by the time I met up with Lea, Joe and then Glaysher. It was lovely to see all of them as they all work at crazy times. I skipped over to my cousins for dinner and caught up and then headed out for some drinks at the Mischief, it was Stu's birthday that night so I ended up staying out a little longer than I expected, and realised that the more people that turned up....the more I realised that I was indeed the only female...when I voiced that, I got told 'yeh well apart from Wes' I think they were joking.

Got up on Tuesday morning pretty tired but awake, birds have a really weird notion of when to wake up, but it was a really nice morning when I finally got dragged out of bed. Walked into town and then got humous and oatcakes (best combination ever) and went into my old High School which was REALLY weird. No one recognised me, like teachers bar one? Crazy. Me, Jonny and Jay handed out lots of flyers for Battle of the Bands. It was gorgeous like the weather was really beautiful, and I caught up with Courtney over cake, pizza and drinks and it was really nice just to see her and stuff.

I've really needed this week off, really, hopefully I'll see Gus this week, but evasive answers can sometimes make him so mysterious! I'm used to it, that's how he's been for all the years I've known him. I'm seeing Luke, Viki and others tomorrow night, SO excited to be seeing Defeater finally as well. It's just over a month or so away from me having another week off so I'm rather happy about that. It's made me realise how stressed I've been and how much I need to take a holiday every two months rather than every three or four.
