In the past month-ish, not too much has happened.
It was my best friend's nineteenth birthday in early October, and we went clubbing for that. Unfortunately all of our friends have gone off to Uni, apart from herself who is doing a one-year Art course at a different college, and myself who is just working to save money for Australia. Ergo, not many people were there. It was upsetting for her, and as she was upset so was I. So in the end it was just myself, herself, her boyfriend and another guy friend of ours.
It was a good night,and she seemed to have a time despite the lack of people, and to have played a part in that made me rather pleased. It wouldn't have said much about our friendship if she was out with me and had a bad night.
Actually, I was out the week before that, too. With my sister, which is a very rare occurrence in itself as we don't exactly get on brilliantly. But hey, I had a good time. The only weird thing about it was that, as she socialises with people a bit older than herself, we were spending our night out with a guy who's in his late 30's. He was genuinely lovely though, and we got on fabulously. So much so that he kissed me before I got into the taxi. I was a bit freaked by that, because he's like twenty years older than me. He also invited me for drinks, but as he's engaged and is quite a bit my senior, I haven't mentioned it. Neither has he, thankfully. He was so lovely, it was just a shame he wasn't my age. That's the way my life goes, I suppose. Meet a fantastic guy who seemed to be everything I would want from a man, but he's 30-odd and engaged. Typical.
I haven't done much else really. I've not even been meditating that much, which I suppose could be a good thing - meaning I'm not as stressed or lonely so don't feel the need to. Although I did do a tarot reading for my sister yesterday, and convinced her it wasn't just 'messing about' as all of my family seem to think. So that was nice :) When I went out to a garden centre I stumbled across some CDs for spas and salons, although they are brilliant when meditating and simply to chill out to. With names like Inspiration, Relaxation, Freedom, Serenity, Bliss etc you can kind of get the idea of what they sound like. In any case, I love them, and bought four of them to add to the three I already had. Along with two new cream candles and holders, I think I'm doing pretty well. Sometimes I feel like a Bhudda :') But then I remember that if I see a spider I kill it, so I remember I'll never be a Bhuddist.
The other day however, I rather felt like a Pikachu. I work at the Co-Operative, and on Wednesday we were dressing up to raise money for the local Air Ambulance - a very worthy cause, cause you'll never know when you'll need it. Well, anyway, since I already had a Pikachu suit (£60 eBay, thank you very much!) with a tail and everything, so I thought it would be a good excuse to wear it out of the house without getting too many funny looks. One of my colleagues was dressed as Red Indian, two came together as 118, and I pressured another into coming as a pirate. I even bought the costume in for her to make it easy! She did enjoy herself in the end, so I don't feel too bad for pressuring her into it. I can't pretend that I didn't enjoy it myself, because actually I love the spotlight. I was totally in my element. I dressed up (sort of) as a nurse on Friday, for the same charity. I just wore smart trousers and a white blouse, a badge with Consultant written on it, and a little silver disc taped onto a black alice-band. Et voila! Semi-nurse-thing. I told a customer I couldn't really be bothered after the great effort I had done for Pikachu, and we agreed that as I was a half-nurse, I was a Nur. I have finally found a customer with my sense of humour! *Fist-pumps*
Today has been a slow day. Well, it's a Sunday, so it's supposed to be slow anyway. I checked to see if any of my favourite fanfictions had been updated (they hadn't, so I read some of the older chapters), checked ma facebook, and then decided to write a letter to my friend at Uni. Letters are a lot of fun to write, actually. They're also more personal than an email, and I think also a lot more in depth than texts. I don't like writing long texts but I'll gladly spill my soul onto a piece of parchment. So once I'd finished my letter, added in a drawing and written the address, I thought I'd be uber special and seal the envelope with wax and stamp it, like they used to do in olden times. But first I needed a stamp.
So, I found a small block of wood from the shed, rid it of the cobwebs that had gathered on it and grabbed a Sharpie. Drew a great big 'M' on the side, grabbed a scalpel (very carefully) and got to work. After a while my throat felt a bit sore and I realised I'd probably inhaled some sawdust, so I grabbed a bandanna and tied that around my nose and mouth. I was proper impressed with myself for coming up with that.
I did about six trial runs with the stamp, to make sure I'd get it right on the envelope. Of course, the only one to go wrong was the one on the envelope >.>
The wax dribbled all over it. I'm not sure what the postman is gonna think when he sees it. He'll probably peel the wax seal off. Douche. If it doesn't arrive in your mailbox with the seal, babe, I'm so sorry but it isn't my fault. It was on there when I posted it.
I also filled out my passport form today - yay! Now I just have to go into town and get a photo taken for it, and I can post it off and be that one step closer to going to Australia! So looking forward to it.
So I think that's about everything. It was just a little update on my humble life. When I said nothing had happened in the past month, I'd obviously forgotten everything that had.
