35: London and all that jazz

So my Onii-chan, brother from another mother, Joe, Joey, the awesomeness that is one of my best friends, is in London and as he lives in Spain, it's kinda a big deal.

So I decided to drag my best friend Lauren to meet him, and we spent a day in London. It was awesome.

I hate London. But it was awesome to spend a day there. Cold. Very cold. Oh my god I was cold.

But they got along really well, Lauren and Joe, but it was a pity Jordan, the guy ion dating, couldn't come. Joe's protective, and he worries so at least he met one of the most important persons new in my life at the moment.

On another note, on the journey home, I fell asleep. And Im basically always holding Lauren's hand now-a-days and she really didn't mind ribbing me on te fact that I twitch in my sleep. Loudly. -.-

It was a good day, all in all. But I'm not gunna go back to London for a long while

34: Sweet dreams and all that

I woke up crying this morning.

I had this really, really realistic dream of my Pappy. He knew he was dead, and he was speaking to me.

Now, in this dream, I was also pregnant and Lauren and Jordan were there and there was a diving competition off a really scenic cliff that kinda reminds me of Lake Hylia in Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. But I wasn't allowed to dive cause I was pregnant, you know? And we had this trainer that "claimed" to see Pappy and then this friend actually saw him and we ran off the stupid trainer. It was ridiculous when I say it, but you know what dreams are like; it makes sense when you're in them.

But... Just before I woke up, my grandfather, my Pappy, spoke right to me. I can't remember what he said, but I remember being happy, content. And sad, because he knew he was gone.

And I woke up crying. I kinda kept calling Lauren. But you know what HTCs are like, one bit of water and the screen spaces out. So I accidentally called, like, 5 people. But in the end, I got ahold of Lauren, and she sat on the phone an listened and told me to have a bath (it's a thing we both do when we feel like crap; we have a bath) and then sat and made me smile.

It was a harsh morning, but it was... Nice to see Pappy, even if it was a dream. He's been dead for over a year now... And it was so realistic. It looked exactly like him, like when he used to sit on the patio at my house in Spain and he used to sit in the sun. My Nanny used to say he's like a lizard, he will always find the sun to bask in. I always remember him say in the green deck chair, head titled up towards the sun, his sandals he always wore, fanny pack he never went without, and shirt open, lazing in the sun for hours, slowing turning browner. He looks so peaceful. Looked... So peaceful.

I miss him.

33: A "kinda" date.

So, today I was supposed to eat fruit and yogurt and do my excersises and play Zelda.

Instead, I went out with Jordan.

Now Jordan and I are dating, but we're not "boyfriend&girlfriend". We're getting to know each other. And you know what, the fact that he wants to do that? Is amazing.
So we've spent the day at the arcade playing pool. And he can't play pool so it's been really funny; i kept setting up shots for him and he kept missing anyway.

Also we had no 8 ball. So I drew on the spare red ball with eyeliner... It worked. Sorta.

And then when it was around lunchtime we tried to find a place to eat, and bearing in mind my town has like... 4 restaurants and he hates Nandos and I really didn't want a Burger King... We ended up after an hour of wandering in a pub, eating the most awesome hamburgers EVER, so it wasn't so bad :) oh and as we were waiting for our heavenly food, we ended playing thumb wars. Who even does that anymore?! Haha!

And then at the end of the night, I ended up meeting his mother. And his mothers best friend. That was kinda terrifying. But she was nice and I was able to leave quickly. Thank god. I'm not good with parents... ._.

But it was a good (freezing) day out with him. Spontaneous. But good :)

And he's the only one agreed to come ice skating with me. I'm pretty happy about that too haha

32: Totally not procrastinating.

You know when you try to do your nails, and they just don't wanna go right? And then they look like shit even when you've done then right because they didn't wanna go right in the first place?

It sounds like such a girly problem, but, dude. It's such a paiiiinnnnnnn.

And I may be procrastinating. I don't wanna do my excersises today. I'm aching, like, all over. Ill do them. Aaaaafter I've done my nails and, after they're dry, my chores.

See not procrastinating, just doing some other things instead of the thing i should e doing. Totally not procrastinating. Totally.

Someone hold me a gun point and make me do it, oh my god.

31: I'm on a diet

So, I've always been image conscious.
And I've always had bad eatjng habits, like I'm a realllly picky eater. And over time and comments, I developed a really bad eating habit. And then I went to see counciling blah blah blah.

But you see, now I want to do it the healthy way. Excersise and healthy eating. Do it the right way.

And, honestly, I get the feeling I'll feel better doing it this way. I know for a fact this'll be hard, but I also know that it will help in the long run.

My bestfriend, Lauren, says she'll do it with me, and its actually sorta funny. Cause she hasn't actually started yet.

Aaaaaannndddd my parents have agreed if I get my fitness back up they'll pay for iceskating lessons, and I'm suuuuuper stoked to get to iceskate again. I've missed it so much...

So yeah, healthy foods! Excersise!

Wish me luck.

29: Those days.

So I have to get a job. I made a deal with my dad if I could put up half the money, he'd pay the rest and then Id pay him back (basically I'd be in debt to him, ergh). But I'd have a bike to get around on, woo.

But see, I only have about 300 hundred pounds... I need about 650 quid. So... Job? Yeah. not that easy to get. Ive just spent my morning hanfing out CVs to places I don't even wanna work on the off chance I'll get a Saturday job there... woop-di-friggin'-doo.

but plus side? It's nice and sunny and I'm sat finishing up my letter to my oldtime best friend to mail,(Don't tell Jessy, I was supposed to have it finished over a week ago... Oops. Haha)

Oh! It's my bestfriends birthday today! Happy 17th birthday Lauren!

Right, I've really gotta get this letter done!

28: So totally in a loving mood for Iron Man.

So I just watched Iron Man 2 for the first time in a loooong while, and I have actually forgotten how much I love Tony Stark! I mean, fanfiction does him so much justice, but it's nothing like actually seeing Robert Downey Jr. being Iron Man. Though, seriously, the fanfiction is really awesome. Even Light is an Illusion is one of the most awesome of all of the fanfictions in the awesomeness that is this fandom. It's... totally awesome.
Just go read it.
For reals.
Fangirling OUT!

27: Been a while

Been a while, huh?

College life is pretty regular, and regularity makes it irritating as my teachers are idiots, just throwing that out there.


I started doing drawing animations for songs; I mean, they're not great, but they're all in the really basic stages right now... It's something nice to think about other than homework. And at some point, I'd be able to use it in my course work as some point I hope. I mean, common, who doesn't want their work done already? 

I've been busy a bit lately, with dating (Ugh, why so complicated?!), college work, arguments about said college work with really thick and condescending teachers, having to sort out things with the condescending teachers, family drama (Dull. Immature elder sister.) and it's sad how things will slip your mind, like trying to write on a blog regularly.


So yeah, my animations! They're all in the sketched out stages, as in it's really, really basic at the moment, like doodle, not even got all the images basic stages. But I've shown them to two of my friends and they like them, haha. (The voice in my head is of a three year old whining someone likes they're image when someone says they don't like, oh my god.) 

Other than the dating thing, my life is pretty dull at the moment.

Now... The dating thing. They guy seems to be a complete gentleman, as in not letting me pay for anything, holding open doors, letting me choose everything, buying me chocolates, good morning texts every morning kind of guy.


It's really... sweet, but I'm so not used to it and have no idea how to react to half of it, so I come off as a bit rude... And I like him. Just no idea how to express it, is all.

Right, well I'm going back to animating this shtuffle (yes, that is a word; pronounced sh-tuh-ful.)

Laters, Saph
