Welcome to our city of London in the middle of a Summer night where the Sun never sets and the people never sleep.
If this doesn’t make you realise how small the World really is, then I don’t know what will.
This satellite photo of the Sun setting over us just takes my breath away. Simply beautiful.
I am typing this at 11:11, our jinxed time. It’s pretty funny how much one notices something after hearing about it from everywhere. Spooky.
Today was fabulous. DHL delivered my prints for my exhibition and they looked stunning. I am absolutely stoked with them, and we were all squealing with excitement (or at least I was doing it loud enough for everyone!) We rushed out to buy velcro, we got 4 metres worth and Nay and I spent lunch time sticking them on. Then we and Libby went up to college with them and hung them up in my space. I was so happy, I felt like dancing and running around like a sore-winner. We looked at everyone else’s and there were some very odd ones as well as some incredible ones too, the variety was staggering.
We then went for Macca’s and sat at Southbank to gobble it down. The Sun kept disappearing behind clouds and we got a bit chilly with the wind coming in off the river, so we hopped back on a train and spent the afternoon all working on our own little things.
All in all, it has been a really productive day. I feel a good change around the corner and I am very excited. I think I’ve learned a lot today, and I feel all the more wiser for learning it. I am so, so, so grateful to Nay for helping me through this most stressful process of panicking, chasing prints and finally hanging them. Libby was pretty good too at helping out, but not as good as Nathan was. [:
I should get some shut eye. I have a driving lesson tomorrow (sigh), but hopefully this’ll be one of the last ones! My test is now in just over a week and I’m really looking forward to it. I want to turn over a new leaf, I want to make every bad into something good. So what if I fail this next test? I’ll just retake it for the 4th time, who cares? I know I feel good enough this time to pass, and that’s what I’ll set out to do and this time I won’t nearly pass out in the waiting room! Bring on lucky number 3.
Nathan, what you have done for me today means everything to me. Words cannot express how much easier you have made everything and words cannot thank you enough for everything you have done. You really have been my sanity and I’m so sorry if I’ve been a complete scrooge, I know I have been. I love you dearly and to hear you say today how proud you were of me made this all finally worthwhile. Thank you Nay, thank you so much. I love you. <3
Nothing much to report on today. Hmm.
I’ve found a new song to become slowly obsessed over. We heard it last night on Numb3rs as we were channel-flicking and now I can finally listen to it whenever I want. [:
I haven’t been feeling myself lately, and Nay’s been the biggest angel to help me find myself again. He’s kept me smiling and sane and always gives me hugs to let me know that I can be happy. I’ve been fighting some weird feeling for well over a week now, but it’s always lingering and I don’t want to let it win otherwise I’d just never bother to get out of bed in the morning. It just makes me realise how much I need Nathan to help me, especially in sad times. I have no decent reason to be sad, apart from a lot has gotten on top of me and he’s been nursing me back to the happy me. Like I always say, we always need somebody; whether it be family, friends or even just a stranger. Thank you Nathan for being my constant. I really am the luckiest girl alive.
We tearfully watched Lost this morning knowing it’s finale time next week. We’re not ready to say goodbye to season 5! I don’t want it to end, and neither does he. We’re lost without Lost. Don’t do this to us!
I’ve been chasing my prints for my exhibition and the company is just taking the absolute piss. They told me 5 working days to complete printing, mounting and couriering them to me. Today was day 5, so we called up to ask where on Earth they were because I need them by tomorrow! Turns out it takes 5 days to just do the mounting. I’ve already paid £200 for these prints and my Mum ended up paying an extra £15 to make sure they got here on Saturday. I bet they won’t even arrive on Saturday, they’re just such money grabbers. I haven’t seen the prints yet, I’m sure they’ll look fantastic, but I’m not impressed otherwise.
I’m just so tired of everything at the moment. I want to crawl away for a year and not wake up until everything is sorted out. I want all the problems to happen without us, I want to be care-free for a day. I want there to be a day where I’m not sad or heavy-hearted. I want there to be a day where we can just go crazy, and after Uni has finished, I’m going to make that day. I think we both deserve a little bit of time off, a little laugh and a day where we don’t have to worry constantly about everything! I thought that ever living together was a dream we’d never have, but now we’ve come this far; we just have to plough on. Now I just want to live this dream.
Sorry for the emotional diarrhea. I just felt like blogging and being partially deep for once. Peace out.
I’m totally addicted to this ridiculous Youtube video of a Dominos advertisement from Australia containing a chicken dancing to techno music; it’s really quite hilarious, check it out below for a good chuckle.
Kits is hard at work on her major project for college, and I am immensely proud of her progress! She slaves away every single day, rain or shine, bad back or not, to make sure this things gets done, and it is definitely showing in her finished work. We ordered, finalised, and paid for the prints for her final exhibition yesterday, so they should be here in a few days, ready to hang for the exhibition. We’ll take photos and what not so you can see.
We’re currently hard at work on a secret website project tht we’ll hopefully be able to unveil to the world shortly! Kitty is convinced we’re going to become rich from it, and I have to say I’d agree; let’s hope she’s right, as this recession is killer!
Nothing much else to report, chickens and projects aside!
