Words become...superfluous.

They have been my little buddies for a few months now.

I just thought I would share the cuteness.

I am so visceral yet deeply inept.

So things haven’t been going brilliantly lately. I start uni soon, in ten days time I won’t have a job and I have nowhere to live. All in all I may have to resort to a tiny double bedroom in a nice flat, in a nice area with nice people. It doesn’t sound too terrible but hell do I have a lot of bits and pieces. So as I sat watching Sex & the City last night, I found myself inundated in magical Manhattan – where cocktails are sexy and the shoes are way too expensive – and I couldn’t help but wonder... will it be sexy in the city?.

After much deliberation- I came to an unequivocal conclusion. Yesterday morning I woke to the remarkable face of someone astounding who would undoubtedly move the earth to make me smile.

I am happy.

So bring it on. 

Let us step into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

11:15pm 15th July 2009 and I was comfortably sitting in an over-packed cinema eagerly awaiting the inauguration of Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince. Chloé, Lou and I spent 2 hours 33 minutes and 19 seconds of laughter, tears and biting all of our nails off.. It was without a single solitary doubt, the best Harry Potter film so far. Don't get me wrong, they missed out a lot and added haphazard moments but it was still incredible. There wasn't a dry eye when Dumbledore died...I witnessed grown men cry. There was even profuse applause at the beginning and the end. I know people who are reading this probably think I'm really sad, but I love Harry Potter and now that the books are finished, I have only one more film to cling on to. On the bright side, there are three more Twilight films.
I messed around with Mollie and Euan today. Having succeeded in getting them both sufficiently hyper, I went to the bank to sign for my lovely interest free student bank account and credit card. Work was good fun, Thomas has been off for a month because his little sister has been really unwell. She's down in London Hospital just now waiting on a transplant - he's totally cut up it's such a shame. He came back tonight though and it was good to catch up. Pretty much everyone from the team has holidays in the next few weeks, so tonight they presented me with a nice card and amazing photo collage in a gorgeous frame. It was so sweet of them and I'm going to miss those crazy cats.
I have been spending some quality, well-needed time with Grant this past week. We've been to the beach, had a bbq, went to Glasgow Science Centre and Planterium which was AMAZING, and even made smarties cakes at 1am. I'm really going to miss him when he goes to Poland. I know it's only three days but I guess I'm just sad that way. We've been working on Quay songs and I'm very excited about it all.
University is fast approaching and I am yet to find lodgings. Help.

I adore you all.

Goodnight.

It’s Sunday evening and I haven’t done anything particularly productive with my weekend. Friday night at Cam’s was fun... it was really lovely to see her Chris, Ryan and Grant. I hardly ever get to hang out with everyone at once except for gigs. Today has been predominantly boring. I’m watching brand spanking new Family Guy, which isn’t half as funny as it used to be. I guess I am compensating for my adolescent dip into Disney today. After my illegal screening of Beauty and the Beast & The Little Mermaid, I felt emotional about auctioning off my childhood memories at next week’s car boot sale. I’m going to be selling the majority of my childhood to Lanark strangers but hey I need the money.  Flat hunting is proving uneventful and meaningless. There is nothing within my area or budget. I don’t think I have the option of the heinous commute that I suffered for two years. In saying that, I don’t regret a single moment of traipsing through treacherous rain, snow and traffic.

 Hopefully tomorrow will be a more proactive day. I get to file in the evening...splendid. I really am longing to see Ice Age 3 in 3D at the IMAX but no one could accompany me today. I received my welcome pack for Napier University yesterday. £30 for Fresher’s Week is an absolute scandal. I think I will have a thorough read through tomorrow.

On a splendidly lighter note I’m so thrilled about the 15^th of July.

Not only is it an Orange Wednesday but it’s Harry Potter and the Half-Blood FREAKIN Prince.

 

Oh my.
