Annie - I Know UR Girlfriend Hates Me (Get Shakes Remix) |
] |
i have decided i want to use this more. i still read about all of your lives. i can't believe how many years i have been doing just that!
if i updated this thing more, i could have told tales of a pretty varied and amazing june. maybe i won't have to, because some of it i will remember for ever. some of it is private. some is just outrageous. i don't know. i'll will put down details and pictures later.
i was just logging on to do that now, but suddenly i got very gloomy. i'm not really though!
tonight i have a strangely similar feeling about something as i did almost exactly 4 years ago. yesterday i had almost the same feeling. when i was out in a boat, swimming in the ocean - same boat, same ocean and same area as that summer years ago.
ok i shall put down some highlights of my june anyway. they include:
- sitting behind the wheel of an aston martin full of bulletholes
- staying in the same hotel at the same time as prince harry and morrissey
- 8 new pairs of shoes
- fucking bravery!
- not knowing how much i actually talk to myself until i lost my voice for 5 days
- being treated like a queen for 3 whole days
- trying to remind myself not to put all my eggs in one basket? i forget the expression, but yeah, that. by eggs i mean me and by basket i mean boy(s)
- feeling important and hot in a very superficial way
- realising the world of work can go on without me if the doctor tells me i have to stay home for days
- missing someone so hard i get nauseous
- my taxi crashing into a pole outside liverpool street station
- 3 trips abroad in 3 weeks
- i don't always like knowing information i shouldn't know about. that others should know about. but sometimes i do...

i've just unpacked after another work trip. i've slept 5 hours since tuesday? i've discovered wearing shiny red pumps is a surefire way to get hit on. it was ridiculous, bordering on uncomfortable, how magical those shoes were! i think some of them secretly wanted to wear the shoes themselves - i offered. i'm in the first of 4 weeks of work trips in a row. 3 to the abroad. some of it will be exciting! but i hope soon i can do some travel where i can be a lazy tourist instead. lately i seem to really smile a lot, even if i don't feel like it. there were young americans on the train. it made me think of a couple of americans i know. ok that sums it up for now.

tonight i had people over and i made pie (quiche lorraine?) - i cheated a bit (ready-bought dough) but it was a success (though on the boring side). i had a little disaster with a burnt chocolate cake, and one of my guests got a stomach cramp, but i don't think it was my ingredients. though i suspect my eggs were kind of old. the yolk stuck to the shell and wouldn't drop. i wish i could be a good cook, and do magic instead of tragic.
no swimboy news this week. the week is strangely boring without such news. new facts have emerged, and they are on the positive side. but i think i'm over it already.

i've barely updated here. i've had a really busy fall, with a lot of changes. mostly good. but i am now annoyed enough to post because i had taken tomorrow off and was ready for holiday and resting. then tonight i get a call to do a last minute work trip so instead i had to quickly book flights and hotel for tomorrow & endure crazy holiday weekend winter airports and hope that i will make it home in time to at least wrap the presents. but all in all i am hopeful and peaceful, really. more than ever.

a week ago tonight my friend and i were driving on the scary roads of beautiful montenegro, to a cash & carry to buy extreme amounts of cheap wine, beer and water. i took a picture of a cow's head in the meat section, it was smiling and had really big teeth.
five weeks ago i went abroad for another work trip and experienced the odd feeling of being in the same city at the same time as someone else and not be able to do anything about it.
today i painted the ceiling white in my bedroom. tonight is about a clean slate and the burning sensation that everything will be alright (especially burns in my left shoulder).

things learned today:
- getting old means less smiles.
- according to a recent survey my mental age is 5 years younger than my actual age.
- thinking about something hard enough might actually make it happen. and also the opposite.

barcelona was amazing! more on that later.
today an ambulance again rushed my dad to the hospital. i'm not there now because they were just going to put him through machines all evening, but damn it how life always has a way of balancing things out. and not in a good way.better.

lately i am trying my best to follow my new motto; to just do it (or rather; to just do it, but with a few, natural exceptions! for instance, "it" does not = "people"). today this caused me to out of the blue buy tickets for 3 days in Barcelona next weekend with a friend.
so in summary: (3 of these are already booked)
march: barcelona
april: edinburgh
may: paris or london
june: paris or london
july: montenegro and dubrovnik
august: paris or london. (i mean, obviously either may, june or august will consist of no travel, but the plan is that two of these months will include paris or london!)
september: chicago + maybe elsewhere USA
i'm going to need this vitamin injection next week because it's hard to remind myself every day of the reason why i do this thing. "this thing" being something vague i will elaborate on some other time. also i am ignoring some signs of past pains coming back, but nothing that the three d's can't fix! denial, drinks and uh....dounks? i don't know i just made it up! some thoughts and some people you just have to eventually give up on, and focus on what really matters.

i'm sort of excited about some things. i suppose i have been since early january. sometimes it gets me a little too carried away. (the intense clarity of something i used to be too blind to get)
the flu has bothered me for way too long now, so this weekend i had every minute filled to make up for two weeks of on and off isolation. it contained movie night, art hunting in the city, wine, tapas, more wine, good company and then mother's day today. and jeans that rubbed colour off on everything i touched and made my legs blue. even the toilet lid got blue!
hmm i don't know what else. or i do, but i'm not telling you.

it's only 2 am and i got home from a wonderful night out for a friend's 30th birthday, where food and drinks were free and people were nice. i even managed to drink moderately this time! maybe because i spent most of the night in a confused state, with my head somewhere else. been a weird few weeks. my eureka moment of the night is that things need to change.

today while standing in line to buy lunch at work i caught myself staring at the rotund butt of the man in front of me, and without even realising it, my hand was about to stretch out, and almost (just almost!) slap his ass. what is happening to me?

today at work a co-worker asked me if i am in love. then later in the day another co-worker told me i look like i am in love. apparently there's some kind of glow!
if i ever get a station wagon of any kind, especially volvo, you are all invited to kick me in the chest area.
