open up a smile on another face

Feb 02, 2009 00:21

It's past midnight and I should be in bed, but I've not long gotten home from the airport. It is fucking freezing here, and I am tired and wish I didn't have to go to work tomorrow. And yet I am upbeat and smiley and kinda feel like I can face tomorrow now. This weekend was just what I needed, I think. I've not left Glasgow since New York, and that was three months ago. Sometimes you just need to get away, and that's enough to give you the strength to keep going. But when getting away means hanging out with one of your favourite people and watching concert footage of band boys and just talking and being ridiculous and being yourself, it's even better.

I've come home with a lighter heart, a better outlook which I think will get me through until the start of March at least, a couple of movie stubs for the same night for movies that helped relive the NYC experience, and a little magenta stingray called Tyson from the aquarium by the sea (the sea! I love the sea so much and always feel a thousand times more alive when I get to see it). I got to wander around a beautiful city at night, to eat donuts so delicious that I said something ridic and embarassing that I'm sure mintyfiend will remember and tease me about (I stand by my statement though), and just. Man. I fucking hate that stupid sea sometimes, that it's in the way, but I'm so grateful it's a sea and not an ocean.

I'm glad it's February. I've never liked January, not really, and now I feel the year can really start, that the good things can start to roll in.

So. Yeah. I had a fantastic weekend. How was yours? How's your week shaping up?

mintyfiend is my favourite, things that are awesome, my friends are awesome
