hey
I think on balance, people tend to write about what's bad in their lives.
So apologies if this may be TMI or rubbing it in but:
I am experiencing a wonderful course at uni, not only am I finding english and creative writing an inspirational, exciting and overall fucking hilarious course; my third, politics, is interesting and thoroughly enjoyable. I anticipate Fridays' seminars with excitement. Yeah I may be sad but I'm enjoying it!
I have an awesome boyfriend. He's doting and affectionate, but not overly so: he can be macho and is impressively strong... I'm not going to go into detail hehe ;) but what can I say. I've just got off the phone to him and it leaves me on such a high. I can't feel sad when I'm with him. Ben, you may not be perfect but I love you nonetheless. I even love your flaws!. Hah. I said it. (!) How good does this feel? You know when songs take on an entirely different meaning depending on what mood you're in? Well I can listen to songs of "heartache, emotion, etc.", e.g. FarFromWords "You Take Me There", and it's only the lines:
"You're the one who takes me up there...
To describe how it feels
I can't do it through this song.
I never felt so good"
Which affect me. Whereas I may have previously dwelt upon the song's theme of loss. Yeah I'm an overanalystic English geek [speaking of which I would recommend Jon Ronson's book "the men who stare at goats" to anyone! especially not english students!] but you all probably know what I mean, some songs are more 'lonely'-ish than others. I don't exactly feel that I need a partner, Ben for example, for comfort. It's just that he's what I need and I'm so grateful for his company (more than anything).
Went home this weekend. It was awesome! I saw (in chronological order): Jess, Chelsea [Laura Whitlock], Matt, Esme, Mike, Ariene. Also numerous smaller children from Parmiters' hockey 1st XI. Ben came to visit even though he was ill :). Bumped into Chris Sparrow on Sunday. Friday went for a meal with Esme, Jess n Matt, then we drove round in Esme's car which was funny cus we ended up in Nash Mills (?!) then Jess n I went to my house and Mike came round, we went to Asda (house of dreams!) came home bout 3am. Mike n I went to the craft fair Saturday, left and went to the Fort where we set fire to the armchair because we were bored. Saturday evening Mike, Miguel and I were at Mike's, we met Jess eventually and then when we were walking to pick up Ben from the train station Alfie drove past so he gave us a lift. What a legend! Got some alky and went to Red Road to build a campfire which was amusing. Afterwards we watched films at Mike's as it was too cold for Caravan Crew (tm) adventures!
Sunday Ben stayed for roast dinner then I spent a sweet evening with family. It was nice to see how they missed me, especially the little ones, although if I didn't want to leave on Monday. However the thought of seeing everyone up here enticed me back :)
I missed Politics lecture today which I felt kind of bad about, then one of my seminr buddies told me it was a lecture on how to write essays anyway. I'm an English major. I've had this lecture! So I didn't feel bad.
OK enough rambling about how great my life is.
I want you all to write one thing that makes your life good right now! :) [I promise you'll find something!]
Love xxxxxxxxxxxxx
