Hells, yeah, I'm awesome!
Went out to find a temporary full-time job for three weeks.
And I think I've done it.

Alex, the manager at Cafe Nero, is in desperate need of someone decent for a customer service role - and she knows me and likes me and if she can figure out how to work the pay roll... I think I'm perfectly placed. If so, it'll bring in enough money to pay the rest of next month's rent and all of January's too - so I'm covered for both Sweden at Christmas and the wedding in January.

FUCK YEAH!
It's amazing what you can do when you want to and when you know you've got a damn good reason to. <3

I feel good.
Life is good.

So determined!
Edinburgh is booked and organised, the Gyspy Lee's prophecy about going to Nicky and Andy's wedding is coming true, and it all feels really good!
Found a super-cheap way to Sweden... for three weeks! Over Christmas and New Year.
I'll only do it if I know everything's paid up here, though, else I'll put myself in deep shit. O_o

I've just realised though, if I'm not gonna travel and do stuff now, when am I going to?
I've been held back through all my 'independent adult life' until now by attempting to fund two peoples' lives, restricted myself by studying very hard at university and now I'm most likely going back for a post-graduate course in September... So, if I don't make use of this gap-year, then what the hell am I doing!?
I'm just gonna be very careful and I really think I can make this work. ^_^

So, I'm off to some recruitment agencies to get myself some temporary jobs!
Got loads of stuff I need to do and lots of stuff I want to do and I know I'm gonna do it all.

The most perfect six weeks.
Had to come to an end sometime, I guess...
Now I have a cold, empty bed and distinct lack of cuddles to get used to again.
Whoop. ¬_¬';

Well, eight hours' worth of travelling has left me so tired and worn out.
I flew on my own, I'm pretty proud.

*Starts a new countdown*

I love you, Seek.

Okies, quick update before we head into Täby for some last minute shop exploration!
Went to Uppsala on Friday to stay with Anden and his girlfriend Sofia - bumped into Seek's other ex, Vivi, which wasn't half as uncomfortable as before. She's pretty sweet really, the only odd thing was meeting someone I've known so much about through Seek for the past year and a bit, so... ^^';
But, yeah, man, Uppsala is awesome! I got on with Sofia really well! It's nice to meet a Swede who isn't super-tall. She's actually little-r than me! *Grin*
The four of us played Castle Crashers on the X-Box, which is awesome fun, watched Inglorious Basterds (oh, Tarantino, how you re-write history...), and explored the city. It's really Lincoln-y, so I felt pretty at home. Went up to the (pink!) castle on the hill and walked through the streets for an hour before we had to head back to Seek's house, grab a shower, then go out for his mum's birthday meal.
Now that was amazing!
It's so nice that his family has completely welcomed me as one of their own (or, at least, that's how it feels). His mum was obsessed with buying me a marzipan pig (it's a tradition for Christmas, I think. O_o), his dad is just sooooo lovely and always chatting, me and Caroline get on awesomely... the language hasn't really been a problem and having such a change in culture always gives everyone something to talk about. The restaurant was a sorta Christmas buffet type place, with some really yummy Swedish foods. Me likey, lots!

Going home tomorrow will not be fun times, I can definitely say that.
Christian's mum asked if I was going to be coming back for Christmas - I really really really hope so.

Also.
This boy and his guitars.
Man.
HOT! *_*

Will no doubt update tomorrow while I'm travelling back to Lincoln town.
Ho-hum, hope to see most of you tomorrow night~!

Well, uhm...
Long time no update (again!).
So, lemme fill you in on the main stuff:

OMFG I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe that was only last Wednesday. It feels like forever ago.

Piano tutor job didn't turn out as ideal as I initially thought/hoped. It's okies, though, am coming across a few interesting ideas... maybe doing a Post-Grad, if I can get funding for a Masters. I don't really wanna do a PGCE, as I don't really wanna be a teacher, but a Masters in education would be niiiiiiiiice! Plus, omgz, any excuse to be a student again! I miss my academia!!!

Also, oh, small fact:
I'M IN SWEDEN!!!!!!!!!! ^__________________^
This has been so freakin' awesome so far. Feels like I've been here for weeks, but I know it's unfortunately only been a week and will come to an end far too soon. >_<
But, well, I'm definitely coming back. If I'm welcome. ^^';

So, uhm, starting at the start...
It was a pretty smooth flight. As I've never flown before that, I was really nervous. Got a little panic attack-y, but Seek was awesome (of course!) and kept me calm and explained everything that was going on and kept me sane. After the first half hour or so, I calmed down and actually really enjoyed it. It's so beautiful from up there! We arrived over Sweden whilst the most beautiful sunset began over the clouds... and then we went into the clouds and it felt like we were thrown into pitch black darkness!
Unfortunately, the weather hasn't improved since then. -_-
When we got out of the airport, Seek's Dad, Ulf, was there to greet us and he gave me a really big hug and was so friendly! I really wasn't expecting it, so it took me back a little, but it was really nice. ^_^
I met his mum the next day (Saturday) and, again, wasn't expecting to be greeted with a hug and a kiss considering... well, y'know, complete strangers! But she was really welcoming. Her English is much better than I anticipated, thank goodness, and Ulf's is fantastic. Us English speakers get so damn spoilt, we really do.
Seek's sister is good fun, she has awesome English, too, but I haven't seen so much of her.
Johan is lovely~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, he's adorable. We had a really nice night on Monday at his place, met his mum, his sister, Oskar and his girlfriend (who unfortunately didn't speak much English, but that's okies, she seems nice anyway). We watched Zombieland - it's funny. ^^
Uhmmm, Seek, Ulf, and me went to the island on Tuesday so I could see the summerhouse and Ulf's shop - Seek drove. He's a good driver. Really good. *Proud!*
Shame about the weather that day, I'm sure it's thoroughly stunning in the summer. Oh noez, I'll just have to come back and see it then! ^_~
Visited Stockholm yesterday. It was rainy. Again, I bet it's beautiful in the summer! Just explored a bit really, it's such a huge city because the whole place is spread over multiple islands. It takes a lot of work to navigate, but we found our way to the old city where we got some brända mandlar (sugar-coated almonds) and omfg they are the tastiest things on the planet. *_*
I think Sweden is definitely a summer city, though. Or a proper winter city - the rain here isn't doing it any favours.
Ho-hum, though, I'm having an awesome time in general!
And dear God... the hot tub is amazing - with good company, of course! Lulz, Seek put in way too much bath stuff and we had bubbles overflowing! It was hilarious. I have so much fun with him and it's just so damn heavenly... <3

So, yeah, Sweden is love!
Felt a little uncomfortable today, though. Bumped into Johanna in school.
Mmmmmmmmph. >_<
But, hey, other than that and the rainy weather, I <3 Sweden!
It's kinda cool having an international relationship, in that it's not just "I hope you like my house", "I hope you like my family"... it's "I hope you like my country and my culture". I like it. Lots. ^^

Oh, also, L4D2 is awesome!!!!
I do wish me and Seek could play on the multi-player rather than taking turns on the campaigns, but it's fun regardless and so damn nice to be with him. Might get a chance for multi-player tomorrow in Uppsala, guess we'll find out there!

Well, here's more answers from that meme...


Oh, and last thing:
My boyfriend is currently playing on a £9000 guitar and is immensely sexy.
Do excuse me, I'm going to go drool over him now. <3

Well, time seems like it's suddenly screaming past far, far, far, far, far too fast for my liking.
It feels like yesterday that Seek arrived again - it's actually been over a month now. (<3<3<3)
Since the last update, we had our Hallowe'en party (can't believe that was only last weekend. That feels like aaaaaages ago. Time is strange), which went down in teh awesome ways. Lotsa biscuits, pumpkins, sweets, annnnnnd my new free piano that everyone was taking turns to play on! Much Twister was played, many snowballs/magic potions were drunk, and every so often a glowing erection went by, so all in all it was a good night and day! Alex and Kieran rock so much for helping get the piano in the house, I am so unbelievably happy with that thing~! How have I lived without a piano for the last five years!?!?!

This weekend has been awesome, too, but flown by waaaaaaaay too fast.
Pineapple, me, and Seek caught a lift up to Yorkshire with Pineapple's cousin, Simon. The journey there was pretty straight forward, if rainy, and it was really nice to see my parents when we got to the house. Introduced Seek to them, Dad told me off for not mentioning his height (>_>), and then we got in some very yummy Chinese takeaway and watched Wolverine~!
My family really like Christian, especially my Dad, think mum was impressed by his guitaring, and even the Grandma of Doom said that he seems really lovely.
So, he's been given the seal of approval by the family - and by my Nikki too~!
Pineapple, Nikki, me, and Christian met up on Saturday and headed out to York for epic times of awesome! We just wandered around mostly, which is easy enough to do in York, taking photos, laughing lots, eating 'kinky doughnuts', watching a man dislocate all the joints in his body to escape from some chains whilst stood on a ladder (think Seek was confused - apparently, they don't have street entertainers in Sweden?), and having some damn nice cuppa teas in Cafe Nero. ^_^
Afterwards, we headed back into Selby (yes, we dared venture there) and went to the very wet and muddy Bonfire Night display!
Luckily, we got right to the front row so we had the huge bonfire warming us whilst they set off the fireworks, but it started raining and we all huddled together under an umbrella. It was super cosy and nice. I luffs my friends, and my life, and my love, and it's just all so damn good!
Went to visit Nimi yesterday and take her Christmas present to her. She's redecorated her room, it looks really nice~!
Then me and Christian headed over to Nikki's house, before we all decided to go the shop, before remembering it was Sunday, so we started to head to Goole, but then there was no 24/hour Tesco in Goole after all, but we needed to collect Pineapple, so we ended up near his house anyway and eventually we found Nikki some supplies to cook with, went to Loz's house to kill a few minutes, she seems like she has amnesia, but it was nice to see her for the first time in three years, laughed a lot, then collected Pineapple, went back to my parents's house, and they fed us all pancakes so then Nikki didn't have to cook after all, rendering the whole journey null and void, but we all got pancakes, so it wasn't a waste!

The journey back was really straight forward too, no complications, and after we got home, Ollie, me, and Seek went to the boys' to watch Walk The Line which was a much better film than I'd previously anticipated. D'aww, squishy relationships are squishy.
It feels kinda funny to be back now after being at my parents and in Selby and having such a good time with people from college... I do love Lincoln and everyone here, though, would just love to merge them all into one huge bunch of fantastically awesomeness one day!

Anyway, erm... piano tutor interview tomorrow? I'm getting well nervous!
Meal with Tracy and Lyall tonight...
Driving test on Wednesday.
Then Sweden on Friday! Omgz. *_*

Life is going so well, and has been for the last three or four months, I hope that all these things work out well.
Please, please, please let me be lucky for just another couple of months. *Fingers crossed*

In the mean time...
( More Memeness - Answers to Questions! )

Oh noez, memeness!

Leave me a comment saying "Resistance is Futile".
• I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can satisfy my curiosity
• Update your journal with the answers to the questions
• Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions

These are lyricmaniac's questions:

1. How did you two lovebirds meet?
Ahh, well, a few years ago when I met Chris (izamus), I took a browse around his f-list and came across Seek. He seemed really really really sweet, but obviously had his own life that I didn't feel I had any right to drop into... so instead, I just checked his LJ every few months to see how he was doing. ^-^';
After about two years, he seemed like he was pretty down and I felt like I wanted to get to know more of Chris' friends, and seeing as he wasn't about to introduce me to any of them, I sent Seek an email to say hi...
Annnnnnd, yeah, we hit it off like wildfire. ^_^
I still have our first MSN conversation saved, which is really unusual for me - I never saved conversations. Some part of me just knew he was going to be important, I think.

2. What is something I don't know about you that I should?
Hmn, well... considering you were/are a teacher, I guess you 'should' know that I was only in mainstream education for four years of my life. I came out of school when I was 7/8 due to bullying from both the teachers and the children. My mum and my gran taught me for the following eight years and then I went to college. I don't think it did held me back too much, as I've got a decent degree now! ^_^

3. What are some of your goals in life?
I'm pretty career orientated when it comes to my goals. I really want to work in a variety of jobs in the field of culture, including working in a stately home, an art gallery, and being an events manager. Other than that, I just really want to see the Northern Lights and, uh, be happy. I think that's a pretty good goal! <3

4. Do you believe in soul mates, and do you think you've met him?
Yes and yes.
I've never said that, never felt that, never even thought that until now.
And this makes me so damn happy!!!

5. If you had three words and three words only to describe yourself, what would they be?
Affectionate, clumsy, worrier!

Life is so damn good.
I went on  a date on Sunday - lulz, me and Seek's first actual date?
Well, actually, rewind a few more hours.
We went to Hartsholme Park and fed squizzles and took photos and laughed and loved lots.
Then we got home and there were good times.

And then we went on a date~!
Prezzo is a very nice place and  immensely awesome company was immensely awesome and I am very very very much in love with this boy.
I don't understand how things keep getting better.
The world's going to break soon!

Every night of falling asleep in his arms and every morning of waking up entangled together is just so perfect.
I never want this to end.
The weeks are passing way too quickly right now.

Other not-so-squishy news?
I'M GETTING A FREAKIN' PIANO!!!!!!!!!!!!
FOR FREE!?
It was being advertised in the Lincolnshire Echo, and the number was printed wrong... so me and Ollie figured out which number it was and we were the only people that had called and omgz yay!
We just need to get it in the house. ^-^';;;
Strangest thing is, I think it might be the same piano as my Gran's old one. That would... be odd. But cool. ^_^

Uhm.... doing lots of work with the WAG Screen people at the moment, all website stuff. Was a little intimidated at first but I think it's coming along better than I anticipated, so... Yay~!

Plans for the Hallowe'en party are coming along well, we've got two huge pumpkins and still need one more smaller one to carve. It's gonna be so much fun~! ^_________^

Yeah, so, life is damn, damn, damn good.
Thank you, world~! <3
 

I love mornings like this:

Me: I had a dream...
Seek: What happened?
Me: We were all on a ship and there was a volcano and it was melting the boat and it was sinking...
Seek: Oh, no... hope it ended well?
Me: Yeah... we all got sandwiches. *Falls back to sleep*


Y'know... I haven't had a dream without Seek in it since I met him at the airport in July.
This makes me happy.

<3

Hi~!

Uhm, well, first things first...
I went to Liverpool on Friday 9th (and didn't die on the four-hour train trip, despite battling Yorkshire chavettes for seats...) to collect a particular Swede from the airport.

Warning: Here Be Squish
I managed to get there about two minutes before his flight was due to land - but due to a delay of about ten minutes, I was put through some agonising trauma of waiting for him at the airport for longer than I expected. People were flooding through the gates pretty fast, and I saw him come out alongside a randomer he'd been chatting to, and saw him smile, and fuck damn, I've missed seeing that.
Kind of caused a blockage at the gates (oops?) because we just dropped all the bags and hugged. He smells so nice, and I fit so perfectly in his arms, and I couldn't believe he was actually there. That he's actually here. After a few minutes, we picked up the bags and moved another couple of inches before stopping and hugging again. Then moved another two inches. ^-^';
Somehow, we managed to make it to the bus stop, got straight on, and cuddled all the way to the city centre. Even though he's been here nearly two weeks now, I still can't get enough of him and just keep staring at him. He's so damn hot.
We booked into the hotel together and I've never felt as proud in my life. ^__________^
Uh, the hotel was nice, but we didn't sleep much. *Grin* (omgzicantevenbegintodescribetheawesomesex)
Everything felt sort of rushed and not-quite-real until we got back to Lincoln on the Saturday night. Then, suddenly having him in my bed where I've listened to his voice every night.... well, that felt even less real.
I still can't believe he's here sometimes. But at the same time it feels so natural, like he never even left.
It's been absolutely heavenly having him here. Cuddles and kisses practically non-stop. <3
He's been such an awesome help with the house things, we've done baking and the cooking together and with Ollie (OMGZ, we made Pacman biscuits! And brandy snaps last night... but they didn't go so well. >_>), watched all of Fruits Basket, played games together...
It's generally just ... awesome. I love him.
End of Squish
(Well, sort of anyway.)

Okies, aside from the heaven described above, things have been going pretty slow for me.
Went to have my teeth checked on and X-rayed and stuffs. My wisdom teeth are silly and actually growing horizontally into the other teeth, so they've gotta come out. Ouchies~! Operation at the end of November. I'm absolutely terrified. ^_^';

My house feels like it's falling apart! Suddenly everything's broken/breaking/damp/not good. *cry*

I've booked my driving test!!!! Ooooh, scary. I'll be really sad to leave my instructor. That's sad, isn't it? He's just so awesome~!
But, uh, yeah, it's booked for the 11th November, right before I go to Sweden so I have a distraction from moping if I fail. ^_^';;;

Uhm... yeah. This update has taken me waaaaay too long, I should really try to keep on top of these things, y'know? 
Oh, last thing before I forget:
OMFG, SEEK'S A SHEEP~! ^______________________^

Well, yay for the damn flu finally clearing off (mostly).
Still coughing, but I've been able to move, which is a good start. Rather than just sleeping day-in-day-out.
Thanks for the warm wishes of health-y-ness, guys~! You's all rock.

Christian is amazing. He played guitar so beautifully until I fell asleep while I was ill. He's so damn awesome and loving and sweet and... *Trails off on list of amazing qualities*

Did my theory test yesterday - yay for passing~! ^_^
I'm just finishing off this application for the job as a piano tutor now. I feel like epic fail for not getting it done earlier. -_-';

I feel a little like epic fail sad today.
Silly head, right? Reasons Bryony should not be alone too long. ^_^';;;

Ah, man.
I'm procrastinating.
Gotta get this finished and head into town while there's still time.
Such a moomin!

Hope everything's going well for y'all?
Will hopefully see more of you soon!
(OMFG, ESPECIALLY YOU !)

Aww, man.
Fruits Basket manga is epically squish worthy. It's as bad as the first time I watched the anime. >_<';

Uhm, recent news?
I have flu (yay~!), I've been paid from Lighthouse, I don't miss working there at all, I've now booked tickets for Sweeeeeden and a hotel for Liverpool (<3), I'm applying for a piano tutor job, annnnnd...

Damn. I miss Christian.
Everything seems a bit of a distant dream at the moment, it's really hard to describe. He's going to be here in 6 days, but... I can't get my head around any of it.
Those two weeks were more than enough to make any wait worthwhile, I can't believe he's going to be here in six days. And then we're together for six weeks!
Wow.

Well, uhmmmm. I'm going back to my manga? ^_^
Night, world~!

First things first - all round changes.

Finished work on Friday - I think they'd like me back in sometime though, and it seems like everyone in the office really liked having me round. Everyone said really nice things about how much of a pleasure it was to have worked with me and Pete declared he wanted to hire me as his personal tea maker. ^^';
I will miss the people, but ... well, it's nice to have a cool down period of unemployment again. Get my life in order?

Ollie and Sarah did the uber swap on Friday night - stress was increased by someone not doing his fair share of the move assistance, but the rest of the move went smoothly.
It is so damn nice to have Ollie here again. I opened my bedroom door on Saturday night and the whole atmosphere of the house has changed so drastically. It feels like home again?

I met Dan's new ladyfriend on Saturday night - she's a funky character! She's pretty, confident, and has a good sense of humour - would like to get to know her more, she seems like she's good fun and be a great addition to our suddenly expanding group~!

Seek's placement is all confirmed and set up, thanks to Tracy and Lyall. Those two rock. It actually depresses me a little that Tracy and I never really went out of our way to talk this much when we worked together. Still, glad we're becoming such close friends now! Went round for dinner at her's the other night, it was hilarious! Lyall and me get on like a house on fire, and did the Soul Calibur challenge! He beat me. Just.

Anyway, uhm, Christian said thank you to me for helping him get in touch with Lyall and this sounds like the most absurd thing in the world but it makes me so so so so so very happy. I can't begin to explain how much I appreciate the... uh, appreciation? ^^';

Well, uhm, that's all from me today~!

So, stupid Facebook is stupid?
I've been randomly banned, and the haven't replied to my complaint all day. Guh!
I wish I knew what I did for them to deem it necessary to remove everything I ever said, did, or will do on the whole damn site. ¬_¬';
*Le sigh~!*

Ah well.
Me and Seek keep looking at cakes. I don't know why. ^-^';;;
I found this one, and it makes me think of Nicky and Andy - and their 'Action Wedding'!!!

Fruits Basket is soooooo cute and squishtastic!
I've actually managed to read a whole volume too.
I mean. That's not really so impressive.
But it is for me? ^^';
*Epic fails at reading manga*

Lots of good new music out at the moment!
Imogen Heap and Maximo Park have new songs...
I like music.
I played piano up at my old uni on Tuesday for aaaaages. It was awesome!
Met Jodie while I was up there too, we had very deep discussions. Bit shocked about some things we talked about. It was really nice though, I really like her, and she's been... so damn great.
<3

Things in the house are finally starting to move.
Chris is moving out, Ollie's moving in, Sarah's moving into the boys'.
Dan can has girlfriend, whoop~! So happy for him. ^_^

Uhm.
Work stuff... is going okies.
I'd like to be paid now, thank you. ^_^';;;;;;
Gonna have to do some debating on Tuesday as to whether or not I'm going to stay or go back to job-huntin'.
I'm also going to have to debate which I'd prefer. >_<';

It's only 18 days until Christian's here now.
Thank God.
I miss him.
He's teaching me Swedish - slowly~!
I appreciate it.
And the amount of time he's willing to put into all of this.
Thank you. <3

Uhm...
Yeah, so, I'm still alive and hi~! 
Now, g'night, world.
Sleep well~!

Oh my god.
I have to read this manga.
Can I read a manga?
I can't get stuck on the first page on this one, because I really really really want to read it because I've just seen pictures of Tohru and Kyo and it's so cute and there's so much love and it makes me epically squishy?!

So, note to self:
Read Fruits Basket.
Now.


On a slightly different note, interesting events of the last few days!
Danface's birthday was fun times, everyone dressed up and it seems like the night went somewhat as planned.
Pineapple and Ollie were ace that night, I hung out with them lots. ^^
I then spent all night talking to Seek?
And then we woke up at half seven?
And kept talking until we had to go at 4 in the afternoon?
And then I had an epically good driving lesson and he said he wants me to get my theory done asap, because he wants to put me in for the test. And then we talked about politics and war and healthcare and education and generally set the world to rights for about an hour and a half? I <3 my driving instructor, he's ace~! ^____^
Hung out with the people last night, before heading back home to more conversations with Seek...
We watched There She Is. This makes me happy. Very, very happy.
Annnnnd, now I've just got off Skype from talking to him. <3

Skype is amazing?
One call - 14 hours? WOW~!




There's a few things that are getting to me at the moment, but for the most part... I'm just way too happy to care right now. ^^

Right!
I have to read Fruits Basket.
*Goes on perilous quest to locate manga*

 

I should've posted this at 9, haha!!!

Well, uh...
Today has been hard.
Really really really hard.
Work was mad, I didn't have time to breathe, and I actually felt like crying by half past three.
And I head home and all I know is that I'm going to open the door and he isn't going to be there to wrap me up in this great big hug where everything would just melt away.
And he really should be there.

I can't even begin to describe how much I want October to be here right now.

Sarah, you've been great today.
Thank you.
I really needed that.
And talking and laughing and making beautiful music together~!
I like teaching you piano, you pick up on it so fast!
And cleaning Nero was quite good fun last night was quite good fun, I feel like an unofficial staff member now!!! ^_^

Despite the hard work and the heartache...
I've had a really good 09/09/09. *Wise nod*
Hope you guys did!

Well, there's nothing incredibly desperately major to write here.
It'll just be a general ramble, so... sorry to people for disjointed and boring updates, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter to most of you anyway. XP

I have a new phone, all contract-y and shizzle.
I'm not usually one for bothering with the fancy stuff, a phone is a phone to me, but the sudden need for Skype (the most amazing piece of technology on the planet!) has led to me finally giving in and leaving my pay-as-you-go behind.
Thankee to Ollie for helping me figure which contract to get!
Don't think I'll be telling my parents on that one though, they'd kill me.
Uhm, speaking of family, Brendan texted me for the third time this year (lol). It was sweet, so I have no rage for his epic failings at being a sibling. At least, not for another few months yet...
I've been doing some sing-along stuff with Sarah and Pineapple while they play guitar - I've really missed that with Brendan, so I just wanna say a HUGE thank you to you two!!! It's such great fun and you guys are awesome on guitar. ^_^
Other friends stuff, I... erm, met up with Helen (and would've been Kathryn too, but her car happened to break down ten minutes before we were meant to meet up). It turned out to be awesome, as it always is with Helen. Nandos and a bottle of wine later... well, uhm, she made me cry? Lofl~! We got in pretty deep about a few subjects, y'know, like the court case and stuff. Annnnd she said something that just made me feel really really good. I really appreciate it. And how easy it is to talk to her about that topic in 'detail', I guess, without worrying what she's thinking.
I met up with Tracy last night too, which resulted in another bottle of wine (oh dear) and a very good catch up about work and life and love and I might've totally gushed about Christian? ^^';;;
We parted with her demanding that I come round and let her and Lyall cook for me, haha!
Oh, and I still need to get Lyall's email address, cos I think he might be able to help arrange a placement for Christian... *fingers crossed*

On that side of things, errrrm, well, he was away for this weekend which means we didn't have chance to talk to each other like we have been doing.
And omfg it was painful?
I didn't have a good time of it all this weekend anyway, and that was a bit more ouch on top.
But now we're talking on Skype and it's good, and I've missed him, and owh man. 33 days and he's here. <3

Well, I'm gonna go now.
Work in the morning, ack. And every morning?
I've got thirty seconds, so shit! Lulz, damn him counting.
I love him. ^_________^
Night!

Hey, Bank Holiday weekend~!
How I love thee! <3

First working week was epic. I fell into it pretty easy, got to know the systems perfectly by Wednesday, and realised I'd made a couple of mistakes on my first day that I went back and rectified, which I feel happy about.
It's just a relatively simple receptionist job, not high pay, but lots of hours.
It makes the days fly by and gives me enough money to fly away next month, too~!
I feel like I've settled in pretty well, and Alicja says that the two managers are really impressed and implied that they might be wanting more than just a week or two of work out of me. If I'm offered it, I think I'll accept but work until just before Christmas... Save up enough to be able to afford Sweden for Christmas and Nicky and Andy's wedding in January - meaning, I'd need to have a month off work anyway, which isn't going to happen!
I've been keeping an eye out for jobs relating to my degree, but when the County Council has one perfect job of Cultural Services Advisor available... it has to be for 11.5 hours per week, right? ¬_¬';
So, I think I'll accept what I'm given, get some experience and money together, and then start again in the New Year.

On the other side of things, I'm booking my theory test for my driving this week!
Got to seriously get down to revising, figure how much time I need to learn it all, then book my test.
I feel so comfortable with driving now, I'm really confident I'll do fine in the test.
And my driving instructor's amazing and I promised to buy him a green frog umbrella! ^______^

I had some really nice dreams last night, after another night of wonderful voice chatting.
Made the mistake of pushing my lie in, though, and ended up with a really really horrible dream this morning.
Stupid Carolyn, I swear she has actually become the physical embodiment of all my insecurities. >_>
Well, I didn't like it anyway. Mmmph. *Frowns*
It's kind of put me in a little bit of a 'bleh' today, but I'm sure it'll pass.

Oh, me and Ollie had a really good day in town yesterday!
Sorted some stuff out with the bank, talked over many cups of tea, bumped into Pineapple's sister everywhere! So we called her over and had a chat with her. She's soooooo sweet. And very pretty!
It was kinda nice to talk to her about university options and things, I remember being like her before finding my course at Bishop Grosseteste. Gave her a bit of advice on UCAS applications, that makes four people I know applying this year!
If anyone needs any help on it, just ask me? I'm more than happy to help and I've helped fill in three before, so I know how to work them pretty well now. *Grin*

Anyway, in the meantime...

And as a final note:
Jag älskar dig, min fulländad Christian.
Thanks for every day, and every night, and everything.
<3

 
Today ... has been a good day!

Yesterday was a good day too.
And the night before.
Let's start with that then. ^^

Went out with Sarah for a Cafe Nero do - Brett's being a traitor and moving to Starbucks. I didn't really feel like going out, and limited moneys meant I couldn't stay out long. But somehow, an hour turned into two turned into about five? We met some cool guys at the Tap, who knew Coldplay and random bands and wanted Sarah to play the violin, and then we met the Nero gang at Revolutions. Despite being very drunk, somehow me and Sarah entertained everyone and Scott just thought I was very very chatty.
And oh my God. Some of the conversations. So crude. So... explicit. >_<
And I talked to Brett about games for like, two hours?
And Ses told everyone the romance of me and Christian and Alex was really squishy, haha!
Scott's a very, very funny individual, I think he's really cute and a good guy. *Nodnod*
In my drunkeness, I somehow managed to spend 45 minutes on the phone to Christian, most likely telling him the same story five times over. Ooops. And sorry. ^-^';;;

Next day, I woke up to an amazing phone call from this amazing guy. I might've mentioned him before? He's amazing. *Grin*
Set me up for a great day, without a doubt.
Well, me and Ollie got hair cuts which have been long overdue - fringe is back, whoop~!
Then I went to Nero, which was ace. I kinda feel a little bit like part of the gang now! *Feels special*
Went to the bank to sort out some stuff and got such a nice woman there it was unbelievable. ^______^
Then I went to Lighthouse. Which was pretty epic fail? Some money came through so I went to pay rent, but it wasn't exactly a good experience for the most part. I had a really good talk with Jacqui about everything though.
I was really upset when I left, so I called Dad and just told him everything. It was okies and I actually feel a lot better about everything now.
Anyway, I had a wicked driving lesson afterwards, which really cheered me back up.

Annnnnnnnd then today I had another amazing phone call - offering me some work!
With Lighthouse!
Which is... so random! I haven't even applied there!
Apparently, Jacqui really likes me and is short staffed so wanted to offer me some casual work with them.
Hopefully, it's enough hours and pay for it to be worthwhile me coming off Jobseeker's Allowance. *Fingers crossed*
I really hope so. I'll find out on Monday anyway, and regardless... it's given me such a confidence boost that somebody wants to employ me! ^___^

Also, lots of money came through, and a letter about a bank transaction that make me really squishy, and I cleaned my room completely, and Ollie has organised all my stuff cos she's wonderful, and now Sarah is staying here for a few days, and we have a kitten and the house feels warm and homely and loved and loving again.
I have missed this feeling. So so much.
<3

Feel happier today~!
Woke up next to Ollie who was really traumatised by yet another dream where I've been a horrible Bryony. O_o
Seriously, why do my friends subconsciously think I'm going to shout and be mean to them? >_<';
Lulz!

Well, anyway, watched a random 50's film again, I <3 those things.
I like how the couples kiss really over dramatically and the oh-so-menacing plotlines. ^_^

And omgz, the BT couple!!! They're getting a house together. Yay~!
Simple things please simple... er, people? *Grin*

Anyway, yeah, better today.
I miss my Swede though. *Loves*
