Edinburgh

i'll come to that later.
SO, friday/saturday/sunday with my boyfriend, so here's what we did:

Friday, we went to see:


4.5/5 i'd say, (only accounting for the fact it was in Swedish) cannot WAIT to read the book.
opening snow sequence where it's entirely silent is beautiful, makes being a vampire look more life-choice than fairytale, totally different perspective and that's what makes the film good.

thennnn, i went to see my two favourite girls, Plews & Greene and boogied on down at the:



not like we're not always there anyway, but check us out:



love!

Sooo, Saturday, i met up with guess who? Bryan, and we stayed in bed all morning then got up and went to:



for din dins, got an absolute feast, we could barely walk after it, i could easily eat him under the table, apart from when it comes to cake, he is the cakey monster.

then, after Ali came and ate some curly fries and sold us tickets we went to:



we donated towards cancer research but held back on the moshing part.

then Sundayy, i was flung in at the deep end and got to meet the McGuire's at Bryan's sister's 26th.. scary bastards, kidding on, they were top notch folks, even if his gran put FAR too much sherry in the truffles!

but Bryan gave me Ty, as he is so Christened for Eastah:



isn't he cute? ^-^

& we watched:






ANYWAY, back to the point.
14/4/09 was our 2 month anniversary, so we went to Edinburgh for the day :):

being a politics student and that i thought 'hey, lets go up tae holyrood', and after walking so much our feet got sore and the help of google maps on my phone, we found it!:


& then we trekked back along the Royal Mile (which coicidently, is actually a mile long) and went up to the Castle, here's the view from the top:



oooo lovely!

but 'cause i'm "so myspace", we took some more photos from the top ;):



prisons of war? they don't exist, must be some inside joke with the workers there, although watching a wee boy dry hump some concrete balls was pretty entertaining, along with all the other historical malarkey obviously :p.

anyway, after wandering about and soaking up all the history like girl & boy sized sponges, we went and treated ourselves to some ice creams (yummy) and decided to find this mad pub i found on the internet called Jekyll & Hyde and got a drink:


cheeky wee vandals! :)

theeennn, we headed back to glasgow and omnomed our faces off in Republic, i beat Bryan for the first time ever in eating cake, definitely worth mentioning, i'm sure his ego took a severe beating after it.


ehhh mario, you're amazing uh :)


Peace.

for Aimée

because I'm thinking of you & i know how much you enjoy my ramblings on here :).


It annoys me how i can barely remember what i did last week, or what the different parts of the brain are, yet when i find an old CD i loved, i can put it on and remember every single word of every single song.

& i also hate how much i hate clutter and love minimalism, yet my flat is like a multicoloured jumble sale - i'd love a blank canvas, and the money to paint it however i want.

so many things remains unfinished!

e.g. driving lessons, i can't afford to do them right now, so i'm going to suggest a break i reckon, start them up again once my exams are completed.

always seems to be practical things i never see through, you wouldn't think it but when i was younger i did tap dancing, disco dancing, ballet, swimming, baton twirling, even karate, but i never stuck at it, never made something of it, only one i ever entered a competition for or did a show for, was swimming, and fuck knows where that trophy is.

even at school, i got chucked out higher art and i haven't picked up any of my instruments since the day of my practical exam 2 years ago, they just collect dust under my bed... and it's not that i wasn't good at it, i was dropped for higher art because i made no effort, i was chucked out all 3 school bands i was in for swearing at a couple of teachers.

i wish i had the time to devote time to drawing again, or the time to go and buy a music book, and play some jazz on my sax, ken, just for the hell of it, maybe put my purple music stand to more use than hanging my old jewelery from. fact is i just have a lot of my wee plate, or maybe my priorities aren't what they should be.

i'm kind of torn between doing what's best for my future and living for the moment, i can't seem to decide what's more important, so it's a seesaw currently.

'the thing about doing everything is having no time to do nothing'

i know a good few of you could say, aye, but sitting on myspace is doing nothing, it's being lazy, but it's not, everything requires effort, i use the internet to keep track of my friends, make the effort to have conversations with them, so i'm not totally being absorbed by my other priorities - a point to social networking, whodda thought it?!


so yes, studying has been initiated.. did some on neurological disorders.. makes me cringe - no, i'm not a hypocondriac! well, maybe a little bit :p

the fact that from studying this i have learned that a coldsore can lead to severe memory loss (clive wearing anyone?) and chicken pocs can eradicate my spatial awareness freaks the sheet out of me (i haven't had them yet :().

but i'll go to bed early tonight, and i'll be up at 8am to do what? yes STUDY, study bum, study study study, book hugging, study geek. I'M EVEN WEARING MY SPECS.




in other news, family.. family really is the friends you choose, those you choose to keep close to you. fair enough, loving family is an unconditional kind of love, but not everyone is that lucky.
but i keep trying, i keep trying because i'll never stop loving you, even thought you always hurt me, there is an invisible tie connecting us that has been there since the day i was born and it'll never break, you can tug on it all you want, try and run from it, but it's always going to be there.



this leads me to thank a few people, one girl in particular - julie mclachlan.
i don't know where i'd be without you.

the rest of you, well, there's only certain folk i bother talking to nowadays, so i'm pretty sure you know that i love you.
<3





what else?
aye, summer, so last summer i was PRETTY skint, by pretty skint, i mean i ate peanut butter on toast for about 3 months, so this summer i intend to get a job - DUN DUN DUUUUNNN.

how can you say 'no' to my m-m-m-metal face? honestly guys, give me a job please? \m/
xxxxxxxbrawxxxxxxxxx

just realised i'm sitting in the dark, i am a payoor goff. NNCE NNCE.


Peace.

Je suis Ecossaise!

Spring Break

technically starts for me today - skipped class today, cheeky chops!

Quite looking forward to these two weeks off, although it only means the exams are creeping closer! Got lots to keep me occupied - that is, when I'm not sleeping :p

ii. Write up psychology report (UGH)
iii. Get my conch pierced!
iv. SLEEPSLEEPSLEEP
v. See Megan Ansdell for toast and OJ!
vi. Finish reading 'Breaking Dawn' & start reading 'Nocturnes' (thank you Bryyaaann)
vii. Spend time with my boyfriend :)
viii. Get my feet sorted, ouch :(
ix. Purchase Sky TV/broadband/phone (fuck you BT, FUCK YOU).
x. Go see my siblings.
xi. Trip to the beach if this lovely weather keeps up? Any takers? Ice cream w/raspberry sauce.
xii. Download more music than is humanly possible.
xiii. WATCH TWILIGHT EVERY SINGLE DAY.
xiv. Prodigy/Dizzee Rascal!

Not in that order obviously.. sleep CLEARLY comes first!

OH OH, good news: so, i went to the nurse the other day there, and she said "here hen, a hink that's you healed up noo, so you'll no' be needin' it packed"

BEST. NEWS. EVER.



I really wish i had my drivers license and a car right now, would like nothing better than to drive about in the sunshine blasting Deftones (praying they do a UK tour and not just leeds/reading!).

Aye, so as you may have guessed, i failed my 1st test... something tells me it'll take me a good few attempts! Haven't booked a new test.. too nervous really, failing is one of the worst feelings ever. I'll get there eventually, heres to hoping! :)

Download is 69 days away and I've yet to buy train tickets, although hopefully once the student loan is in Gee will be hitting me up to go book tickets! I VERY EXCITE.



What else is there to report?
Ahh yes, PARIS.. read my next blog.


& I am now 19 years old, and have been fooorrr 2 weeks now.

My birthday was gooood, Bryan took me out for dinner which was lovely, plus he's lovely, so it was lovely. Haha :p

Then got my hair/nails did, put on a pretty white dress (only the bf has a photo) and went to Rufus T's/Cathouse with my favourite people :) Don't remember many bits, and to be honest i think that's due to my shite memory, not alcohol - which i REALLY regretted.

Teetotal, ftw.

Peace
