Well, I'm back, you'll be glad to hear.
Christmas has been and gone. It went in so quickly. I'm pretty gutted.
It was a rather strange christmas I'll have to admit. I don't know why- it was just different.
I didn't really feel like it was christmas, yet I still enjoyed it somehow.
I did get a few surprises, par exemple a digital camera with a printer for printing my foties, and a new mobile phone. Oh and also a lost series 2 boxset....yay! Now I can watch all my fave episodes again and again.
On boxing day, I went into town for a while with my Dad and although only Castle Court and a few other shops were opened, it was still absolutely crammed with people and so I felt like going straight back home again. The older I get, the less I seem to enjoy going shopping. Up until recently I would have claimed to be a shopaholic, but I've come to a sudden realization that , in actual fact, it can be kind of tedious and if I can't find anything I like, I become incredibly impatient.
Ironically I went into town again the following day. I suppose I thought it mightn't be as busy as it was on boxing day, even though all of the shops would be opening that day. Makes perfectly good sense that I would choose to go in on a day when all the shops would be opened and all the sales would have started.
What a bright idea.
Basically it just made me really frustrated and feeling like I wanted to go home again. So I bought a CD first and then headed home. Little did I know that if I hadn't have been a moody cow and had have remained in town for a little while longer, I could have seen flipping Gary Lightbody casually shopping in HMV. Ragin.
Caters and Jen saw him coming down the escalator, as they were going up; the lucky ducks.That's the second time Caters has seen someone from snow patrol, but hasn't been able to say anything. I feel so inferior, having never met any "proper" celebs within my lifetime.
Saying that,when the opportunity did arise, both Caters and I chickened out. My mum sort of forced us to greet the Drifters, but as we drew nearer to where they were standing, we were instantly overwhelmed by their legendary status, so we ran off in the other direction. We totally could have been mates with them now if we had have been just that bit braver.
Went to Nicola's that night and watched Hercules. I accidentally thought the muses were called "mules", which conjures up a rather amusing mental image. Silly me. We also decided to invent our own crisps. Here's some advice: don't think you're being clever by attempting to make your own salt & vinegar crisps by pouring vinegar on top of some plain crisps. It really does not work. The crisps end up soggy and tasting nothing like the kind you can buy in the shops.
However, simply adding black pepper to a bag of kettle crisps is mouthwateringly tasty. Okay, that was a slight exaggeration, but they were edible, so we were proud of our achievement.
On thursday I went into Abbeycentre with Caters to have lunch and dander about the shops. I bought nothing except for foundation, yet it was still good fun. We also bumped into Sarah and Sonni, who we chatted to in the middle of the abbeycentre; shouting and waving our hands about. I'm surprised Sonny wasn't frightened.
Caters stayed over on Thursday night and we watched Calamity Jane which is, as Caters puts it, " good, clean fun". We both love the bit when Katy helps Calamity decorate her wee cottage- so cute. We chatted most of the night, despite getting tired at like 11 o clock. Anyway, was nice having a good ol' chat.
Went to the odyssey last night with Sarah and Sonni. We went to see "Miss Potter", which was actually really good. I always loved Beatrix Potter's books as a child, so I found it quite interesting. Sarah also loved them so we were reminiscing about the little characters etc.
It was nice meeting Sonni. She was really lovely and friendly and her english was absolutely unbelievable. It makes you realize how crap we are linguistically over here!
We went to the streat afterwards and ate some kick ass fifteens, and gazed out the window at all the chavs in mini-skirts and Sarah shouted" eugh, look at her in her nice leather mini...and yumm...leopard print!" totally oblivious to the fact that the girl's friend was sitting about 10 metres away from us, frantically waving out the window at her. Whoops.
I'm going to go now and attempt to do some form of art, that is if I can remember how to. It's been so long.
Adios amigos.
