russians and Chopping

we had some rad hang times, yes we did. It's funny, we're very good friends but we talk A LOT. I guess we (as the computer generation) all communicate a massive amount, myself and Chopping calculated we spend time texting, msn-ing, facebook-ing, blogging...it's a wonder we still have stuff to laugh and talk about! But it was good as I haven't properly hung out with him in a while and had some deep chats about hardcore (or mainly Chopping had to listen to me rant, and pretend to be sort of interested haha) and we had some chats about the 'Chopping Clan' and life generally.

I was stoked to see Chopping's very very excellent Kabeedies artwork which he produced for their new album. His work always reminds me of the artist who did the artwork for Billy Talent's album, or the person who did the illustratives for A Series of Unfortunate Events. Pretty rad to say the least!

Gus and Robbie and Nina turned up too which was lovely. Had a nice time with them, Robbie tried to teach me Russian, they're learning German on the sly so they can have secret chats....so I will be learning Russian with er no one to talk to bar Robbie and all he can say is 'My name is ___ and I like cats' and some more lewder things as well. Probably.

I went to Mackintoshs with my cousin Donna, had some amazing chicken and sticky toffee pudding. It was great to talk boys, friends and pool attendants!

Tomorrow I have to seriously start packing my room for the move on Monday. I get my key at 9.30am so I'm kind of excited. My parents, relatives, friends all keep asking how excited I am but it's taken so long to sort out it's sort of lost it's meaning. Now it's so close I am beginning to get a bit ahhh about it. As Gus said, it's like when Christmas is promoted in September and by the time it comes around you're sick of hearing about it!

I am happier though, so so much happier about knowing I'll be in town and able to do what I like without worrying about upsetting anybody or anything. It'll be nice to appreciate my family as well.

I'm going to Eaton Park with the guys and girls. I'm massively loving fireworks, it's my favourite time of the year I think. I'm gonna get to Jess' house for Chinese with Anna, Ham and Jess, then meet everyone with them at the park. It's a bit of a walk but I might try and get a bus into town so I can meet Gus as we've got a house party at Robbies.

Times!
