You cannot believe how proud I am of myself right now. Today, I have done something which I have never done before, and have always been too scared to consider.
I went for a lovely meal with Simon and Jo and James and Katie and Lindsey yesterday because they have an American friend, Lindsey, visiting. I was getting on quite well with everyone considering my recent shyness, and after the meal we went back to James and Katie's and I ended up spending a couple of hours chatting with Lindsey and getting thrashed at Mario Kart. It was just nice to get to know someone knew and especially an American one who'se slightly alternative as it made for interesting convos. Anywho, during the course of the evening, I get randomly invited to join James Katie and Lindsey to visit Birmingham the very next day to have an adventure and go to the National Sea Life thing they have there. This is something I would never normally do, something I just couldn't face, and I don't know why I suddenly said yes, but I did, and boy did I enjoy myself.
I went on the train for an hours journey, twice, and anyone how knows me well will know what a massive deal that is for me. I hate trains, I am scared of trains, but I did it. I was able to spend the day chatting and getting along with people who I don't really know that well, and haven't spent that much time with, and still feel mostly comfortable. This is also a major deal for me. People may look at situations like that and think pfhttt so what, but it's not so for me, I find it really hard, and I'm proud of myself.
Oh, and the sea life centre was really good. There were sharks, and rays, and otters, and mini fish that live in the dark and have flashy eyes, and pihrannas and all sorts. Getting to know Lindsey was great too, she's a really nice girl and we get on quite well, so I'm guna try and stay in touch with her. Woo, I know someone who lives in Orlando!
Grrr, I ordered loads of tshirts off of the internet as a little treat to me, and I was so hoping that they would arrive before new year's eve so I could wear one of them and it would be great. Alas, I don't think this is going to happen. So, while in Birmingham today I happened to spend a little time in Forbidden Planet, and stumbled across this tshirt which is my treat to make up for my other treat not being here:
Eeee! I've never read Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, but I now have to, seeing as it's from that.
So, plans, fixing Lee's computer as I'm just plain nice. Buying a belt. Maybe going to London. Dying hair in preperation for sunday. Doing Sunday stuff and getting drunk woo!
