me again

I don't think I've ever left it this long between posts, apologies, if any one's interested.

Anyway the large gap has coincided with my getting my first first proper, grown up, full time job. Also as of 16 minutes ago, its pay day, and I have been waiting (impatiently) for what seems like a long time, but I am happy and excited about both the job and the pay. More on that later.

Actually other than the job and work related stuff, I don't have much else to report on. I'm dressing up for Halloween twice, due to payday only being now though, and having to dress up tomorrow for the first event, i am going to be rushing around at the last minute putting it all together. I think it'll be okay in the end though. Might hollow out a pumpkin. I love Halloween. Need to squeeze in a viewing of Halloween the film too. Ooh!

Its 00.32, I haven't been both awake and at home at this time in what feels like months, its a bit weird, nice to know that some things haven't changed though, and I am getting the familiar late night hunger pangs, of course, always after I've already brushed my teeth.

Right I'm gonna go because tired and hungy is not a great combo.

Till next time...

confusing apple eating experience

...and Gael Garcia Bernal in drag....

Left an apple, the other day, in very close proximity to a strawberry and cream scented yankee candle. Tonight seemed a good one to eat the apple, and as I was munching away I kept getting the smell of strawbcreams. I knew that it must've been from the candle, but my brain couldn't process that the smell of a candle could penetrate an apple. Quite strange, I kept expecting my apple to taste like the smell but it never did.

The point is, keep apples away from smelly candles.

Earlier on I was reading the TV guide in the hope of discovering something good to watch tonight, when up popped a Spanish film called "Bad education". A very vague bell started ringing in the back of my head, and further research confirmed that I actually knew of it.

The first time non-skippable trailers on a DVD have ever been useful, I remember seeing it a couple of times on one of my doovds and thinking that I'd like to see it. GGB is in drag, which lead me to believe it was some sort of comedy, but further research tells me its some sort of drama about sexual abuse. Anyway I reckon it'll be good and its starting shortly so I shall say goodnight.

He's the only one who knows the words

Im trying, in the words of Samuel L, real hard.

Trying real hard that is, to resist posting more youtube videos on my page. I am managing pretty well, but I just wanted to babble about how much I am in love with a song this week.

Beirut - The Peacock

I cant stop listening to it, its so so gorgeous. The melodic voice of Zack Condon just does something to me, there just aren't enough letters in the alphabet for me to explain how stunning it is. Ohh Zach!!

Anyway, there you go, Beirut - The peacock. Get on it.

Back on track

So aside from nice boys on trains, its been a long and tiring week. Sunday to Thursday was spent travelling, wedding attending, dog walking, more travelling.

I haven't sorted out my photos yet, so I'll come back to the whole wedding shebang in another post. In summary, it was less interesting than I had expected weddings to be, but it was still lovely overall.

More interestingly though, my cousins live in Pontefract, where, fact fans, I discovered is home to the very large and very delicious smelling Haribo factory. I was quite confused the first couple of times we went into the town centre because all you can smell in the air is Haribo and its amazing. Here in Stockton town centre the only smell that lingers on the air is chemicals or horse shit.

There was also a large looking shop named "Hariboland" but unfortunately I didn't get to go in.

This was really a pretty dull and pointless post wasn't it? I only just realised that I had nothing of much substance to write about, except to say that tomorrow is Sunday and we're going on another countryside picnic. I hope the weather is as sunny as today and I can wear my summer dress.

Here's a photo of me trying to snuggle my cousins dog, unsuccessfully as you can see.



Toodle pip old beans.

Schwing

Seen a boy on the train today who looked a lot like Matthew Chan.

He was glorious.

Happy dress

My cousin is getting married on Tuesday.

I've never been to a wedding before, so I am mega excited! I hope I don't cry...

So my cousin is only 18 (I think, maybe she's 19 now) I'm really happy for her, but I'm finding it hard to process, because as we were all growing up, her and her brothers were the closest things I had to siblings and I can't believe that now she's a grown up. We weren't especially close though, we didn't see each other all that much cause they all live in Castleford. I have so many funny memories of them when they were kids, I just can't grasp that they are grown up now. I can still see her as one of those kids who's hair never seems to grow till they're about 7, with no front teeth, telling us about what she had for school dinner that day (beef, if you're interested).

We're going up to their place tomorrow morning and I think we're staying till Wednesday or Thursday.

I've been really excited about the whole getting dressed up for a wedding. I bought a lovely dress off ebay, planned my whole outfit, make up, jewellery, shoes, hair style.

Here's a sneaky peek at my dress-


Thats all folks.
