Month end

I didn't want the end of the month to come and go with only 2 blog posts, so here I am, august blog numero 3. I'm a little sad not to be getting very drunk in a big field in Leeds right this second, but to be honest, I'm not as sad about it as I was last year. I don't wanna jinx it, but I really want to try and make it to next years. Or any festival to be honest, though I do have a huuge Leedsfest soft spot since it marks the explosively good losing of my festival virginity in good ol 2006. It took me a long time to cut off the wrist bands for then and 07, I realised I was probably starting to look a bit like a loser desperately clinging onto past glory, somewhat like Napoleon Dynamite's uncle Rico. Good memories came with those wrist bands, I've still got them pinned on my wall. I didn't feel too bad though, when the time came to cut them off, it definitely felt like the right time to do it. The thing about Leedsfest is, that weekend clashes with "La Tomatina", something which I've wanted to go to for quite a long time. So the next year plan is, cross fingers for the Leeds line up to be utter gash, go to a miles better festival, then go to Tomatina. Obviously by then I will have landed a proper bo job in a shop selling ice cream, balloons, great dresses and kittens. Thus enabling me to be able to afford driving lessons, whereby I will past my tests in record time and with flying colours, and then cause my parents are so damn proud of me, they will immediately buy me a sunflower yellow VW camper.
Maybe.

For now, I'm kind of looking forward to this month being over, its been a bit up and down. Shitty things include- Break-ups, missing out on meteor showers cause of immense amounts of cloud, getting rained on more than should be allowed in a summer month, spending more money than I should have on shoes (totally worth it by the way), and to top it off, I had a phone call this morning from a lovely lady asking if I wanted to come for an interview for a job I applied for over a month ago, and then her telling me it was in Altringham. I applied for the same company 'cept in Middlesbrough, which I told her, and she said her boss had handed her a pile of CV's, and that's how she got mine. How my CV made it from Stockton to Altringham, when I definitely addressed it to Middlesbrough, I do not know. I was disappointed though. Haven't had an interview in a few months and when I do almost get one, it turns out to be a dud! Haha. If you don't laugh you'll cry. Though I suppose it is quite funny.

Watched, read the book, then re-watched The virgin suicides. Still undecided weather I like it or not.

Good things this month include the Runswick bay trip, just one of those days where everything is lovely and perfect. I'll do a separate blog about that laterrr. Finding a genuine bonafinde peacock feather, laughing SO hard at something I seen on TV tonight, that I actually wondered if it was possible to die from laughing. Also got a lipstick today from the market for a fraction of the price they're selling them for in the shops. I'm trying to wear lipstick because, I don't really know actually. I was bored in my room a couple of months ago, mooching through my hand me down make up, when I found this really small one, it was bright pink, and for shits and giggles I tried it on. It turned out to actually quite suit me. So I thought. I know basically fuck all about make up though, even less about lipstick, so I wasn't certain, but I thought it looked OK. So I wore it the next day, and my auntie commented on it, she said "ohh is that new lipstick, it doesn't half suit you". So that was an unexpected but pleasant surprise, accidentally stumbling across lipstick that looks good on me. I'm still not 100% sold on lipstick just yet, I've never worn it before in my life, but I'm almost there. Anyway, I'll shut the hell up about that now cause it boring.
Also good about the month ending, next month is my Birthday. I realised its ridiculous to be worried about "getting old" when im only going to be twenty fucking four. So im looking forward to it.

My eyes are a bit tired, for some reason I couldn't sleep much last night. Also "Stand by me" is on in 20 minutes and I love it and am gonna watch it, even though I've got the DVD.

Located a gig buddy for the Modest Mouse gig I was screaming about on here before. (or should that be the gig buddy located me, Thankyou!!) Im very happy, I can't wait to go go go, and gig and shop and generally do good things. Im glad August is ending on something really great.


Here's some pictures that are unrelated to all of the above.

How to piss your mam off in Asda

When she asks you what you think of sandwich spreads, simply reply "I'd rather eat my own snot".


At almost 24, I'm no doubt too old to be talking about snot, actually I don't even know what possessed me to come out with it, I just did, it was the first thing that popped into my head, and I was trying to be quick witted.
I didn't mean to be so mean, but it did seem to anger/insult her quite a lot. Which I didn't expect, but sent me into fits of giggles which I tried and probably failed to hide.



So there you have it.


Good things

Long overdue for a blog post. This isn't really a proper one, I cant offer an explanation for the long absence, but no doubt I will do soon. Anyway, here are some good things that I've been experiencing from Sunday through Monday. More to come.









Sunday went for a ride out with my mam and auntie. A place called Runswick bay. Its the most beautiful place I've been to in a long time, and a place I haven't been since I cant even remember when. I found a peacock feather there. If you live in Teesside and have never heard of it, then you should firstly be ashamed, and secondly, plan a trip there for as soon as possible. Its not far away and its gorgeous.

Seen a rainbow this evening from my bedroom window, it was weird cause it wasn't even raining.
Good though. Good things.
More soon.
