I'm so excited and I just can't hide it
Firstly, I have an apology to make to gunshotbeauty
I've been into town on three separate occasions this week and I haven't been able to find Kerrang ANYWHERE. I can only assume it's down to the popularity of MCR (when there's a popular band on the cover it's hard to find them anywhere) and I'm super super super sorry. I can send you the other two asap or wait another week if you like?
While I was in town today, I bought a book called "The Sense of Being Stared At". It's about strange unexplained phenomena, like how sometimes you get the feeling of somebody watching you, or you think about somebody right before they call you. It's pretty interesting so far, it's all about psychology, but it's written by a biologist so it's looked at from all different perspectives. i love reading about stuff like that.
And one final thought, just to remind myself: I'm going to make an effort to give out more compliments, because people deserve them and I don't think they're recognised enough. What made me think about this was when I was walking down the high street, and this charity dude standing on the street in front of me throws his arms out and yells "Of all the streets in all the world you have to walk into mine!" and I was thinking, ok Rachel, keep your head down and just walk past. But he stopped me and was all "What's your name? Rachel? That's a very pretty name. You look like a caring girl. Do you want to join our tree hugger protest group?" (his words, not mine) and I know that he was blatantly sucking up to get me to donate money or whatever, but the point is, in the 45 seconds I was talking to him he made me laugh and I was still smiling when I got home half an hour later, and if got me thinking - it doesn't take much to be nice, does it? I mean, it's one thing to not be rude, but it's even better to take a couple of seconds out of your day to make somebody else feel good. I don't know. It made sense at the time.
Needless to say I've been in a pretty bouncy mood all day today. Life is ok, really, isn't it?
