Hopelessly, I'm taking a mental picture of you now, 'cause hopelessly the hope is that we have so much to feel good about.

Thoughts on stuff

Wow it's been a while Mr Blog Page. So long in fact that I am now a whole year older since I last blogged. Clearly I'm not bored enough at university to find time to blog .. either that or when I'm bored I have a pub to go to and spend my time drinking Rattler or Jaegarbombs or Skittlebombs or my new drink of choice - vodka lemonade and lime. Yum.

Anyway, distracted by alcohol ... isn't that always the way?!
I would firstly like to re.. whatsit.. shit, what's the word? Like reiterate but not ... well whatever, I am re-declaring my love for Maroon 5. What a band. Can't believe they've had a new album out for a whole 6months and I've not noticed, absolutely shocking. Little gem from their new album just to prove my point:


So life.

I've come home for a few days for the family version of my 21st i.e. more Sunday roasts with grandparents and less drunken monkey walk of shames. The only similarity being the eating of a chinese buffet that, come tomorrow evening, will have taken place on both occasions. 

Quote my mother:
"You do realise it's quite expensive at the Water Margin?"
"Well you should have thought of that before telling me I could choose anywhere." :P

I was so excited to come home although I hate to say it but all I need is a days catch up and hugs and slobbers (from the dog only), just to see them all and make sure home is still as I left it, aside from a new bathroom and the massive tree in our driveway now being just a stump, then I'm ready to return to Plymouth - I've had my family fix, s'time to get shitfaced again :)

In case you can't tell, I'm enjoying life at the moment. I'm pretty chilled, taking every day as it comes ...

Awesome quote courtesy of Peter La Fleur (Vince Vaughn) in Dodgeball:
"I found that if you have a goal, that you might not reach it. But if you don't have one, then you are never disappointed. And I gotta tell ya... it feels phenomenal."

This isn't strictly true. I do have goals, mainly to pass my degree with a 2:1 and get a decent, permanent job but I'm still working towards that and don't have to worry about being disappointed if I don't achieve them 'til July next year so I have time to feel 'phenomenal' for the time being. 

A nice little metaphor that I have just thought of is this:
I am currently stood on the table cloth that covers the table of awesome and in less than 7months time (end of university) that table cloth will be whipped out from under me, and not in a skillful way that leaves me still standing on the table of awesome but in a shit, clumsy way that will send me flying off onto the floor of life and I'm gonna have to get used to "real life" ... not this weird holiday of life we call "university". And believe me, it's gonna take some adapting to.

See illustration.



Pretty much what is going to happen but HEY don't have to worry about this yet, like I've said - take everyday as it comes. Carpe diem and all that jazz.

...

I'm not sure how I started off all Maroon 5 and birthdays and turned into Mrs. Philosophical. 

Blogging juices exhausted. Night.
