(no subject)
Work has been pretty crap and it's not something I enjoy talking about so we'll just say I am not my managers biggest fan at the moment lol. But on a more positive note I have been to some pretty exciting places in the last little while such as Bournemouth, Longleat Safari Park, London and obviously Frome. Much fun has been had! I guess its becoming obvious to everyone now that I'm in love and really wanting things to change for me. I have never had many goals or dreams or any kind of plans for the future, only to be happy in whatever I do. That is still the case really but I know that I want the not so distant future to include me being a damn site closer to Simon. It's not going to be easy for me to not be in Oxford because I have such wonderful friends and family that I never ever want to be away from but I have to do this as I feel like I have met someone I want to be with for a very long time and that won't get to happen if we carry on being 90 miles apart. I am really beginning to love the West Country so living there is not going to be an issue for me.
Bournemouth/Frome (Sept. 2006)
Went to Frome on the 10th to see Simon on his birthday after I had finished work and spent the night there. The next day we went to Bournemouth for a few days away. We were there 11th, 12th & 13th and in that time we did so much stuff! We went to Monkeyworld and The Oceanarium as well as going to Swanage for a trip down memory lane for Simon. Monkeyworld and The Oceanarium were just amazing and I came away with some great photos. We spent some time on the beach and some time in pubs and went to the cinema too! I am amazed we managed to do some much stuff seeing as we aren't the most motivated of people lol.
Longleat/Frome (Sept. 2006)
We spent a day at Longleat seeing some pretty animals and going through a lame mirror maze lol. We saw some of the beautiful grounds at longleat, it reminded me a bit of the grounds at Blenheim Palace in Oxford. It was so lovely, beautiful rose gardens with fountains and grand statues. It was a lot of fun although we missed out on the safari bus tour thing :-( But I did see the single most soft fluffy lion ever! Lol. We went out in Frome that evening, all dressed up and it was awesome. Some girls Simon complimented me on my new dress and were shocked when I told them it had only cost me £5 lol. That night felt like such a turning point for me and Simon, it felt like everything clicked into place and I went from being a little uncertain as to where things were going to complete and utter realisation it was going exactly where I wanted it to go. Sorry for gushing lol.
London (Oct. 2006)
Arrived in London on Friday afternoon and we went and checked into our hotel and got ready to go out. Our main reason for going to London was to see a band called Engerica at the Astoria. It was a very good gig, Engerica were only a support band and they only did like 5 songs but they were so good. The headlining band was Seether who were alright but I don't think I would pay out money solely to see them. The highlight of the Seether set was when they did a cover of Nirvana's "Heart-Shaped Box" and I just love that song so that was pretty great. On saturday we had several things planned such as seeing a play and going to a comedy venue and shopping! We walked around London browsing a lot of shops trying to find something to waste my money on lol. I finally found an amazing stripey jacket which I am totally in love with, it has little pointy bits on the hood which look so cool! We went to the matinee performance of "The Woman In Black" at the Fortune Theatre which was really scary! I'm not the person you want to be with when you're watching something scary, I was a complete baby the whole time lol. It was such a good play, I would recommend it to everyone as long as they can cope with the scary factor. But seriously, it was a really good production and I loved it even though I was petrified lol. We went back to the hotel and changed and had some dinner at Harry Ramsdens. We then headed out to some pubs to have a few drinks before we went to The Comedy Store for a midnight best of show. We laughed so much that evening, the comedians were so funny and what made it even more hilarious is that there were some retards sat in the audience who thought it would be a good idea to backchat the guy on the stage with a microphone who has had a career of making fun of people for 20 years lol. We spent some of sunday walking from Little Venice next to Regents Canal all the way up to Camden and then spent a good while walking around Camden trying to find fun things to buy. We went back to a pub we had been to on saturday and spent the last couple of hours just talking and laughing before we headed back to collect our bags and headed to the train station to say the saddest goodbye we have ever said.
I'm sorry if I've bored anyone with all this, it was important for me to document it all!
