Written not upon a coffee or a sugar buzz, but just the buzz of being alive.
Wow, I haven't posted since the snow day. Okay, so it's now the 16th, and I'm surprisingly awake after last night's party. My sleep patterns have been really disrupted recently anyway, I won't get tired until midnight, but I'll be perky until about 2pm, when I crash. Should probably work on that...
Last night was really good =) I'm slightly worried that the Ws didn't have as much fun, since they didn't know the Rangers and they kept pretty quiet, but I hope it was okay. Elbows and knees and heads rules Twister has left me bruised and scarred, both mentally and physically! Oh, so much food last night, too! I have got to give Ranger-E's whole-pot-of-sprinkles cakes a special mention, although there was a lot of hoovering to be done in their wake...
I'll be off to the library in a bit, to get some more wider reading books for History, since we've moved right out of the time period of all my books. Yay me, so much work to do - I even refused extra halfterm shifts at the pub because I had so much 'private study' to do.
Ooh, and Saturday night was a nightmare! I was called by my boss about midday to ask if I wanted to come in for a couple of hours at 6, so I said fine. Then at quarter to four, he calls again and says could I make it half past four. I worked till ten o'clock, which is a full shift for me - and I had to get up on Sunday morning and do it all over again. So much for Valentine's Day; not a hair or a whisper of anybody taking any notice of it, apart from a text from School-E (it's just not the same as a guy, I'm afraid!). But, no surprises there.
Going down to Brighton on Friday, where X lives. We'll be visiting the aquarium, which I know is about three streets from his house. I really don't want to bump into him, although he probably wouldn't recognise me, with my new hair and the fact we just haven't seen each other since August. I'm still a little touchy that we broke up for no reason other than it was too hard to keep in touch when we could only see each other every two months or so. I slept on the sofa last night - purely because we we wouldn't all fit on the floor, of course! ;) - and it was weird to think that this was where he slept when he stayed. Anyway, shaking the seasonal melancholy off, since it's unfounded and is mostly a point of jealousy that 'most everyone else seems to be getting together at the moment.
Worryingly, I seem to have had too much free time on my hands lately. I've been getting a lot of practice in on the guitar, and have a pretty good set list of songs I can play without the tab right in front of me. I shouldn't have so little work to do that I have time to memorise songs! Or spend entire nights reading the Twilight books. Utterly addicted - after being prepared to be very disappointed after all the hype, they are stunningly written, not in a lyrical, beautiful prose way, but in an I-completely-identify-with-Bella-and-would-both-act-and-talk-like-that way. I'm on Breaking Dawn now, the fourth, and hope to finish it tonight so I can say I read the whole series in a week.
Also new for me is 'A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar', the Dashboard Confessional album, which is absolutely perfect, not a song I don't like, and I've barely listened to anything else since I bought it. The lyrics and atmosphere fit really well with Twilight, too, which is weird (given that it's a few years older than the books).
I really feel like a brownie, so I'm off to hunt through the remains of the party food in the vain hope that there'll be one left. Last night I put absolutely everything in airtight boxes or clingfilm - we had so much food left over! There's a packet of Skips I've got my eye on too, and some cold pizza.... Okay, now I definitely must have lunch. I'll leave you with another 'interesting' list! =D
Things I can play well on the guitar:
Unintended - Muse
Dark Blue - Jack's Mannequin
Between the Bars - Elliott Smith
The Shade of Poison Trees- Dashboard Confessional
I Will Follow You Into The Dark - Death Cab For Cutie
Champagne for My Real Friends... - Fall Out Boy
La La Lie - Jack's Mannequin
Hands Down - Dashboard Confessional
As Lovers Go - " "
And some others I haven't quite memorised yet...
Okay, Ace over and out xxxx
