sigh. i'm at home, on my own, bored out of my brain. what happened to tv? there's nothing on at all! i was literally sitting around drumming my fingers before i discovered that this laptop worked..
went to Wales this weekend for (uncle) Gary & Claire's wedding. it was alright i guess. first real chance i've had to wear a summery dress. i,of course, got hideously sunburnt. i am still recovering, but safe in the knowledge that within a couple of days it willhave turned to tan. shame it's not all even..
parts of the wedding reminded me of 'the last kiss'. a few of the male guests, the matron of honour and claire herself. the best man, who is a legend. the best conversations i had this weekend were with him and his wife. the house we were staying in was lush too, despite having to trek all the way to (near) Swansea to get there. it had an indoor pool and everything! and the view from the garden was amazing. the wedding itself wasnt that spectacular, there wasnt much buildup to the bridal walk or anything. i hope Natalie's is a bit better, but at the same time not, cause that time i'll be walking down the aisle too!
all in all the wedding night was basically a reversal to the days of being a child with my cousins. i have 5: ashley is currently 28 and was, along with my sister, the older one. then there are laura and alex, both 24, and daniel and michael, both 22. (families: ashley, laura & daniel; alex & michael). of course, alex and laura got on famously, as did daniel and michael. when i was very young daniel and i were best friends, he came on holiday with my family once. once we got older and his family moved to dorset though, we did of course grow apart. i haven't seen him since my grandparents anniversary about 4 years ago, and before that it must have been a good 6 years. ive always thought it was a shame, cause we got on amazingly, but it happens right? on saturday though i honestly felt like i did back then - i have always been shy, and when i was younger i barely said a word - i was always the shy little baby of the family, who tagged along with the others who all had the same sense of humour and got on really well. Daniel wasn't at the wedding, but Laura's boyfriend Matt was and, along with Alex, Michael and Ashley, they took me straight back to those days, except this time round i'm older, and while i felt left out and allt hat... i also just felt incredibly bored and slightly amused by how lacking they are in personality. Laura and Ashley are nice - in fact friday night i had an inkling of a thought that ashley andi would end up bonding this weekend; i know from my mother that he's suffered from depression in the past and when i got there on friday about 11pm i could kind of see it in what he said and how he spoke.. i don't know, maybe not depressed, maybe just more of being an outcast, maybe because i've been there and both counts and still kind of am, i just felt like i SAW him and despite us never having hung out in the past because of the massive age difference between him and the rest of us, we seemed to click somehow and he seemed a little to me as being 'off the rails'... mentally or literally i don;t know, but perhaps it ws just cause he was drunk. ikind of pictured us talking a lot and getting on because of that, but it didn't happen. anyway, i digress. Laura and Ashley are nice. Matt is alright, although he intimidates me just through being older, having seen it all, being confident and talking to anyone with no trouble. alex and michael just piss me off, both are immature; alex is one of those giggly annoying girls with a shite, stupid sense of humour, and over the past 5 years michael appears to have turned into a seedy, slimy, short ginger of a man with much the same personality. i sat with them outof a feeling of duty, because they were the only other 'young ones', and because they were my cousins, but truth be told the best conversation i had all weekend was with the best man and his wife - who, might i add, had the CUTEST children i've ever seen!
anyway. work is going okay. i've basically been running the show for the entire run of HSM. made a few fuckups but managed to resolve them. i'm having a good time, i guess. i get on well with most of my staff and have alaugh most days. started talking tot he venue staff more too - there's even a girl there who seems to fancy me! haha. and i have a major crush on this guy Danny who works there - security. he's 36.... i know i know. and i don't think he's properly interested, as he hasnt made a move at all and doesn't even bother saying goodbye ot me when he leaves. but he does flirt majorly and i guess even if it doesnt turn into anything, i have that at least? he does make wildly suggestive comments though, so who knows...
i havent updated in so long, i probably have a lto more to say... for instance... i got to work at global gathering! which was pretty wicked. i passed my first year of uni. had a massive argument the other day with kat......yeah! bored now. tara.
