Oh man. It's finally sinking in - in a little over two weeks, I move, again.
Is it possible for fear and excitement to exist at the same time? Some sort of frexcitear?
There's oh so much to do. There's changing everything over, and throw into that someone who seems distraught that I'm leaving - even though we've only hung out twice. That's a tad frustrating. Chuck into the mix a car MOT, and Download.
However, that's the fear part. The excitement is being 20 mins from...... well..... everything. Friends, who are already figuring out what we can do. I've already lost tuesdays to Cinema Club, and then there's beer and a pizza night at the Prince Charles. There's gigs, and all that sort of fun. And there's the possibility of mine and my partner-in-crime's blog finally coming together - as well as playing some of the co-op campaigns again, including Star Trek, Borderlands 2, and the new Army of Two game. Bit of splitting pizza, and split screen - ideal. Be great that he's <10 miles away.
I've missed it so much.
But while I shall be happy, I'll miss Cardiff. I've been using my time to go and see as much as possible. I've been to Bristol, to see Brunel's stunning ship, and his amazing bridge. I've had a stroll round Cardiff again, and been 'setlocked' for a while. It's fun living where they film Sherlock! Gotta love seeing Ben and Martin. I've been to Weston-super-Mare, which was peaceful, and chilled out by a lake in the mountains. All round that, I've been talking to my friends, packing, watching movies and playing some fun games - Halo is just brilliant at times.
Now I'm starting to tidy up, and wrap things up. I feel bad for one thing, and one thing only. I don't like leaving my sister here on her own. She's down, rather rather down, and I feel like, being 50 mins away I can just.....be there if she needs me.
However, Watford will be great though. We've already planned a flatwarming - 'our sort of flatwarming' as one of my mates' put it. Not one of thosoe being social bollocks affairs, but FIFA and Blur (and/or other racing), beer, pizza, poker, and tunes - though given the people I know, this could be a bit challenging...... Why can't people be more.....open to ideas?
It should be amazing. I've been tumblr'ing so much - reblogging gifs and getting things out there. Met a couple of interesting people.
Saturday was Eurovision - spent it messaging Jess, passing comment on twitter, and talking to a few people. I love live twitter interaction.. Felt a bit =(, as I'd really wanted to into Jess to S last weekend. They'd have nerded out over anime and SPN. Still might try and persuade/offer to take JB to A11, though I know she'd rather go to JIB. She's off to MCM - was telling me about her costume. I wonder if she'd like to go to A11 in cosplay? One of the bonus of living near-ish I guess.
Also I'm plotting some sort of Euro Trip. Belgium, Germany and Amsterdam. What's wrong with a little trip to some cities? Except for driving on the wrong side of the road. I'm also mulling over flying to Stockholm. I'm.....nervous for that one. I don't do flying. I don't like being manhandled. But, it used to work, a while ago, and I'd rather go now than in a few years.
There's Eurogamer too. Still hoping by then we'll have some sort of blog/podcast/vlog/vodcast/gameplay thing. Be awesome to try and do something from the event. I dunno. Trying to add to the list of attendees too - hope some more people may be free.
Gah, this year is just going to be too much. But my god, I'm finally beaming!
Time to go pass out and watch some more of the Newsroom. And download the finall ep of 5-0 so me and Kat can have a little fangirl over it. ZOMG, DANNY AND STEVE BROMANCE, or the Danny Grace love, or Steve and his mom, or Max - masi oka is hillarious - or even, and finally we can question what is wrong with Kono, the dumb cow, always getting hurt/kidnapped. Can't wait for the Newsroom s2 though, I forgot how much she loves Sorkin. Glad she's an Essex girl, might finally get a chance for a drink, two years overdue.
Tomorrow is a skype day.
