It is late and I am sleepy....
Think it is long overdue an update on this old thing. Can't believe how much has gone on since I properly updated...and that is not including all the festivals.
by the by, I don't know how to to lj cuts so be warned this entry contains Beef!!
Well I suppose that is where I should start. Festivals were naturally completely mind blowing especially since I seem to thrive in that sort of environment heh. Music, mayhem, mud, singing, dancing and lots and lots of chaos all added up to a messy weekend which I will never forget. I think the company helped to be honest especially since myself Caela, Peach and Danielle are such crack pots as soon as we are all together and the booze it doth flow...oh, and flow it did. Don't think I was sober for very much of it however I was a good girl and drink was my only vice for the weekend asides from mash potatoe craving!
Y-NOT festival though stands alone from most festivals I have been to. Mainly due to there being 30 of us and the music was pretty top notch in my mind. Convoy all the way down and a sense of camaraderie gave me that excited thrill only had on those rare occasions where you just know good times are going to be had. Good times were had indeed and oh such fun its making me smile. Mud wrestling with Peach and a midget, meeting Bob Marley again, dancing with jelly-fish and not to mention the countless bands we saw which gave me goosebumps and caused me to boogie my little heart out. I sent of a chinese lantern and chased after Richard Bransen in his hot air balloon. Fun, fun and I love all my friends so much. They really make it happen and am grateful to have such a good bunch. We have all become so close since those weekends away that now we all can't seem to keep away from each other....which led to a few more messy weekends to follow.
Saturday was Lee Bromleys birthday (brother of the "crush") and naturally we all longed for the company of our festival peers so we ordered taxi's, ties were donned, tinnies were purchased and good times were had. In fact we ended up at the family BBQ of the Bromley boys which proved to be quite amusing. I sang Meatloaf with their Uncle Sam and played Ring-a-round the rosies with the kids :).
I suppose I'm going to have to interject with some other more sobering issues...especially concerning Earl and our current "status". I still care about him and I never will stop because he is a caring decent man with great qualities and I am proud of him for having come so far in his own personal development but recently things haven't been too great. To be honest the "greying of emotions" became more pronounced and localised and it was obvious that we just weren't "there". We care about each other but the lover side of us had shifted into friend mode, we basically were involved with each other on a habitual cycle and that connection mentally and physically just wasn't there for us anymore. So, after the consulting of friends (thank you Bry, and Christian) I knew I was going to have to address the situation. Turns out it wasn't as difficult as I thought, in fact am rather amused at the lack of drama from the situation haha! He said he felt the same, that we were now becomming friends and if that was the case then there is no point in us prolonging the pain or the awkwardness in general and so we have decided to try the friend route. Am not anouncing it to "wide world" ie. facebook (lol) just yet as we know what we are like and it's annoying for people to secretly ridicule us for being one of those "on-off" couples so we've decided that we are going to be friends and anounce things when something more physically permanent has been put into place, or we decided we love each and want to be together. Am thinking its time to move on and the next step is of course moving out.
So, surprisingly smooth for the Hughes do you know think? It pleases me *grins*
Went out last night for party times and naturally got very drunk! Earl came with but it was actually nice to get along as friends and not have the expectation hanging over me. Talked of setting up our little Cripple a charity bless that man! He really is hilarious! And Lee and Helen invited us for Christmas if we don't have other plans which is lovely considering their family situation...he is seriously one of the nicest men I have ever met, makes me squish. Scott was there and it was lovely to catch up and talk about music and sing songs and generally be goofy together. Went out for some dancing and Earl left pretty early and I had some heart-to-hearts with my boys which made me feel positive about the general outlook. Me and Scott were the only ones dancing in the end and I requested "our dancing song" which was hilarious as it led to us both running at each other and then brushing the floor. Bit of drama kicked off with Peach though and Scott took the "cripple" home while I looked after Peach and Hayley. I love my Peach so didn't wanna leave her to be upset so ended up back at Simms in the thick of things as usual. Am seriously pissed off at him lately, I swear he is playing silly buggers with my girl but its not my place to say anything...unless drunk and angry which I was haha so yes Hughes may have shouted a little bit but nobody makes one of my girls cry goddamnit!
That ends my summer of fun I suppose. *sigh* Am sad that it has ended so quickly but I have some many awesome memories and has such a blast that I really can't complain. Reality calls and I need my job back and to get myself grounded for the onset of the next uni semester, Hughes needs to keep that grip on the things she wants yes, yes she does! Now more than ever I feel that I'm ready for more and I can feel a big change coming which excited and thrills me considering I feel like I have been stood still for son long. Am growing beyond all this now and I want to stretch out and feel young and vibrant once again. Am sure happier times are ahead.
Thank you Bryony, yet again you have been a good friend. I am happy for you and Christian.
Anywho, have stayed awake far too long now and I have a lot to do this week so it is up the wooden hill for me! Night. x
