I came to a realization recently, be it the shiny sunny sunny shine going to my head or just that fact that I'm on top of things for once but I am actually happy here. This is a new and Exciting development for me. Yes it's a small town and yes I love my Bristol but Bristol isn't going to fall just because I'm not there. The thing that makes me keep coming back (although not in the same way rach is. Seriously every weekend. The girl commutes) is the people. My lovely boyfin who I have never appreciated more. Nothing like being surrounded by people who aren't Daniel to make me remember why i like him. Seriously, I actually miss the scar at the top of his nose, I do. I miss not seeing those things about him that I remember so vividly. Monogamy isn't difficult, as the moldy peaches so well described 'I don't see what anyone could see in anyone else'.
I miss my family too. I have always known that my family is not as other families but I never thought of us as being spectacularly close until you discover not many people have actual conversations with their parents, which is sad because obviously you have a few major things in common.
Still, this time in 6 days I will be sitting in a seminar room staring at my watch and fidgeting. Then at 3 of the clock I shall be boarding teh train and finally getting to grips with Twilight which, although not a difficult book I haven't read since I got annoyed and lost my place. In that order. I've just being carrying it around in the hope that I might summon up the desire to read it again. Not as of yet.
Right now I'm hungry as and there is a PJ waffleiron asleep on my floor so I'm going to go and make boiled eggs for me and use up all the bread, mwahahahahaha. I'm not the best host

I don't know if this is what's called 'growing up'.
Everything used to be so difficult, everything was a problem, a poem, the end of the world. Some how that has transformed into, fuck it. If something has to be done it has to be done and there's no point spending a month ranting to your friends about how unfortunate you are. 'Poor me, I have assignments, money problems and family conflicts' said...everyone. I think it's perfectly normal to spend your teenage years thinking your problems are the worst. You wallow in your misfortune but then, over years you come to the conclusion that people should be remembering what you achieved and overcame, not how much you *sob* went through.
In a way, I miss it. I miss talking about how hard it is to be unloved, how hard it is to be in love, how difficult it is to come to terms with yourself. The only problem being I don't believe it anymore. I have, and it was tough, come to accept the fact that there are people out there who love me unconditionally, that hard work is more effective than relying on your wit and your charm and that exercise and eating healthily actually do make you feel better.
I still have a lot of feelings, I still fear an incredible amount of things but it's nice to think about the moment rather than the possible outcomes of the moment. So, as the alcoholic said to the cashier, 'one day at a time'

So I'm sitting on my bed surrounded by books on cookery, the industrial revolution, Blake and William henry Jackson sort of glancing at my essay with masterchef on in the background wondering when it's acceptable to start cooking tea and if chicken in a peppercorn sauce on a bed of rice will be amazing or foul. Dammit, I must use up that chicken carcass. I've spent today learning, shooting and then wondering if the camera has shredded my film now I'm scared to open it in case it has an my time stalking that robin was wasted. On the plus side I know where it lives now so I can sit around there with my digital camera at the weekend if it's not pissing it down. Today beautiful sunshine then pissing it down soon as I got indoors. Also, yay for caffeine because yesterday i was so tired but slept awfully and was then more tired and now I'm still riding the cappuccino wave even thought I drank it 3 hours ago. I think I might go and cook that chicken cause i am not in the essay frame of mind yet.
Today I'm going to test out a sleep theory, the idea is that you need 90 minute complete sleep cycles and if you get woken up during a cycle it throws you off all day so If I start reading at 11 I should be able to get all my sleeping done by 7ish without feeling as bad as I did this fair morn.
See you later calculators

I was getting annoyed because my headphones were only playing through one ear, so i prepared to send them away and bought some cheap one, which did the same thing, with the same ear so I checked them on my laptop and it's my ipod. Thankfully it's still under warranty (in your face one year warranty, you've been extended) but i really don't want to send it away. For one i'll miss it and what if they send me a new one? i'll have to reload everything...
Anyway, i feel very befriended. Everyone's stressed about upcoming deadlines and the amount of additional work we've been given so I've have been talking to everyone but some people are turning out to be really nice. Emily is so nice and helpful. Plus she doesn't judge you which is nice and patrick answers my stupid questions and lends me pinecones and lets me buy half a box of film off of him, gigi is actually hilarious, we were discussing korean dog shows when i realised, we actually have a very similar sense of humour and rach is so sweet. She was so apologetic for flaking on me presentation wise. So, yeah, on the whole I know people. Everyone's really eager to get home though. We're all exhausted and with next friday's deadline (5th) and then jo's deadline (9th) then tutorials (9th-12th) everyone's saying 'i just want to get this done and go home so i can see my family and my friends and...christmas' I still remember when the lead up to christmas meant you did nothing, now the lecturers leave everything til the last minute it's very 'btw, landscape pictures' and 'assessment' I'll get it done, I will. I just have to manage my time well.

I went into truro today. I have now done the majority of my christmas shopping. And wrapped it. Whoops. I would, however like to share a few things that puzzled, annoyed or amused me during todays gallivanting.
*Slow walkers. Walk faster!
*Grumpy sales assistants. Yes your job is horrible but it's not my fault
*I actually genuinely overheard this conversation between two slow walking girls in front of me:
'She's so grumpy about it'
'Yeah, I know she really hates christmas and it's like "cheer up"'
'Do you think it's because of what happened to her last year?'
'What when she was raped, yeah maybe'
Oh...my...god
*Kids on trains
*Changing rooms (why make the curtain so short? I don't want everyone to see my leggles)
*Queues
*The girl in topshop who after taking student discount off of my purchases said omg, 666 (£66.60) how unlucky is that?' And when I was leaving said 'be careful, okay' that really made me laugh
* Daniel is arriving at my house in around 48 hours, this makes me happy

I'm having some rage issues. I've almost entirely lost the knot in my stomach that has been there near constantly for most of my life so I'm happier and I'm more comfortable. I'm not sure what's wrong. I've always been fairly angry and I've always struggled to show it so I've always then projected onto anyone I feel comfortable with when I do snap. Which I always regret. I don't know how to vent anymore and the triggers get smaller and smaller as it builds. One day it's the person stood up on the bus with their elbow at the same level as my face, the next it's something ridiculous like someone moving a plate I left on the draining board and I'm scared because soon I'm going to see the person I care about most: the person I'm most comfortable with. It's been a long time since I said something really decimating to my relationship and I'm pretty sure it's at the point where I can't crucify it by saying one thing but that doesn't mean it doesn't play on my mind. I have this evil ability of being able to subconsciously work out what would hurt someone most and it's stored in my brain so when I do snap these words tumble out of my mouth and sometimes I can't take them back.

Just a quick run down of the Guillemots last night before I poach some eggs.
We got their 7:30 which was waaaay to early as we were stood around til 8:30.
The first part was an experimental idea in which they showed two films from the cornwall shorts awards and improvised a backing track to them. The first film was called Yuki and was amazing. A japanese girl, long straight hair and a dress frolicking in a garden then another girl dressed the same, same hair, really similar looking, appares from behind her, then loads of them then the camera pans to reveal a story of this girl done using loads of people dressed to look like one. They were all positions and you started to think some of them couldn't be real people til you see the last girl and then everyone moves. You really have to see it for it to make sense.
The second short film was called 'easy money' and was basically a high speed heist and chase on rollerskates. Through a city I don't recognise but it's full of travelaters. If I'm honest I found it quite scary. A lot of it was filmed from thei perspective so you were visually dragged aroun a multistorey car park which made me feel a bit weird.
Then some shuffling, then the music part. Vocally, they're the best band I've ever seen live. The crowd was a bit meh. Most people were just swaying the only people dancing were the irritating drunk girls to my right who kept standing on me until my sharp elbows accidentally on purpose kept getting in their way. The tall people all collectively arrived late and gathered in front of me. Stand at the side, you will still be able to see, I am near the front because i won't. Stupid evoltionary quirks. I blame the lack of oxygen at such high altitude, can make some tall people a bit thick. I said some and you all mock me. I can be heightist too.
Whoa, tangent
One thing that struck me (other than how long I had to mentally send 'play trains to brazil' before they did) was how many instruments they can all play. They basically switched around. They also had amazing names.
Fyfe Dangerfield (also Fyfe Antony Dangerfield Hutchins) the lead singer (and a man who cannot keep his head still when he sings) played the keyboard, the electric guitar and the acoustic guitar,
MC Lord Magrão played guitar, bass, keyboard and did some vocals
Greig Stewart (also known as Rican Caol was on drums and percussion (including a bin lid at one point)
Aristazabal Hawkes, the only girl, started out on the drums, then moved to bass, all the while doing vocals, then sits at the keyboard then brings out her double bass. Amazing.
I'll stop going on about it now, except to say, what posessed the balding man in front of me to sport a rat tail? *shakes head*
The yes mice, I love you all

You're clearly wondering what I've been up to so I'll tell you. I went to Plymouth yesterday with Rach and her sister, I ate steak today and before that I was at uni for several hours every day getting on with the projects. That's not even chronological...
So last week. I've been trying to get things done and some of it is going really well (5x4 the quality is immense. Nothing compares) other times you spend 3 hours on one photo to find out it's out of focus anyway. That's not an exaggeration. Still, I'm getting it done and that's all that matters.
Yesterday. We went to Plymouth, I did ask Phil if he was around but he went to bristol this weekend. Typical. My rach and her sister Becky all got on the train together then went in separate directions when we got there (they wanted to get the bus, I'm a dedicated stomper also i don't shop well with other people. Seriously, I shop like a man. 'What am i looking for? There it is. Pay and leave, great I don't have to do that again for a while. Exception being Music shops. Oh good god, I'm a man). I bought a pacamac. £4. i did need one, I can't keep wearing a cardigan or a skiing jacket every time it rains. I also bought the new Snow Patrol album and I won't bore you with everything but lets just say there are dressies. Safely back in girl territory now. On aseperate note: Sailors, everywhere. Thought i was in a 1920's musical. I would love to be in a musical despite the fact that i don't sing in public. I'm sure I could get over that for a musical...
I ate the biggest blueberry muffin at the station. It was amazing. Then we got trains back and I walked home. Good times
Today. I walked into town to do the old weekly shop: bread, milk, eggs, mountains of cranberry juice and some steak, etc. Found a new shortcut into town, yessss (grabs some air annnnnd brings it down). Loads of stuff is closed on a sunday here in Falmouth. Damn you small town. So I did some window shopping and bought some essentials and trekked them back home. I made some steak and some rice, was harassed by a cat, ate the steak and rice. I swear my iron is low because my whole body has acted well to steak. I feel more awake than normal, may have been dipping into anaemia a little. Bad fran. I did stock up on bourbons so my diet is fully balanced. that's a lie, I'm not entirely sure where it stands. I don't eat fast food but my only fruit is my daily smoothie and, er...ribena. As far as five a day goes, I'm on two. Three on a good day.
So on the whole I'm feeling pretty good and I kept waking up last night, er...grinning. I woke up with the biggest smile on my face. See, it's coming back now. I'm not telling you why but you don't have to be a genius to guess, although you think I'd be over it by now. I'm not. Happy as a clam.

I've been shattered all day and now I'm buzzing with excess energy. The magical recharging properties of the no 68 bus. I've been dancing, I am so out of shape. I'm as thin as I've ever been but I'm not as flexible as i used to was and that's what's important to me. I need to get into some kind of routine. This time next year, splits from standing and abs of steel but not in crazy man way. The hills mean that I've got good strong leg muscles. Annoyingly my arms are still as muscular as ever. Stop carrying heavy things!
This morning i woke up to yet more bruises, this time on my right thigh and I don't remember doing anything to cause them which forces me to ask: what the hell am i doing in my sleep? It's no wonder I'm waking up shattered, I've been moving more than I do when I'm awake. It's not pretty.
Final note, someone else update. I'm bored of reading my own entries

I'm in a contemplative mood, partly because I went to see the fireworks last night (waited for hours but they were awesome. Don't know how you fit that many explosives on a boat though...) partly because one of my internal organs is currently be redesigned. Also I'm making new friends (parcel, it's easy). I'm always wrong about people. Yesterday i spent hours in the darkroom and got talking to a girl who i had been hugely intimidated by because she seemed to start by knowing everyone but she was really nice. Turns out we have a lot of stuff in common. The more you know.
I've developed a christmas plan. I'm going to spend under £20 on everyone I buy for. Firstly because I really like personal challenges involving money as I am very nerdy. Secondly because I like being organized. Yes, I'm a big giant control freak of a geek of a nerd who likes christmas. You happy? Also I'm ordering from the internet and sending stuff to home so it makes sense to start now in case stuff doesn't arrive. I'm also theming things. I should be in the government, I could sort out the credit crunch. I'd start by hiring in Marcus 'Stop borrowing money you're no good at it' Brigstoke as my spokesman and then I would assess cases to find out where all the money had gone. Then hit capital one with some sticks. People say that had to take out a loan to cover costs (and in many cases you do) but what did people do before loans? They saved, they went without stuff to afford other stuff. Credit cards started out as a safe way to buy things you could already afford. Like when you were abroad. Oh Britain...

My student loan finally came back so I am now safely back in the black and no longer dangerously overdrawn. Also, as they took so freaking long sorting out this installment it won't have run out by the time i get the next one in january. Just in time for my next rent payment. Now I just have to not spend much money so i can afford christmas. Granted I only really have to buy presents for about 5 people but still, i like to be nice. Also trying to hunt down that damn robin so I can use it as a christmas card photo, follows me every day till i go looking for it. Evil belligerent thing. I'm finding it so weird how I don't have to go in for the rest of the week but i'm still going in tomorrow and I'm still going to go and finish off my film today. Why am I working, this isn't like me at all. Right now there's a sparrow staring at me through my window... I think it's pleased that I've discovered 4 is the only channel that discriminates against mac. I hate ITV but I can watch it. So I'm watching britannia high *geek*
(phil has made me watch Demetri Martin on Youtube and now I can't stop watching demetri martin on your tube. He's so funny. Hate Rhombus)

I was thinking my day wasn't going too badly, I'd got some good slow shutter speed shots (s's galore) of the waterfalls at Kennall Vale, finished quite early.
Then I went to tesco.
The shopping was easy, I found things, I bought a poppy, the cashier was nice to me.
I walked back, a walk that takes less than 10 minutes and my tesco bag broke. I normally take a reusable bag and i didn't want to buy another so i used the regulars, they weren't over-full. I'm not ashamed to say I swore rather loudly whilst stood mid hill. Then i put the stuff in my rucksack and carried on. Anyway I walked a bit further and the other one broke. I'm getting a bit annoyed by now and thinking why has no-one offered to help me, Bastards, when a random guy says 'Would you like another carrier bag?' and produces a marks and spencer reusable from an inner coat pocket. If that's not proof of karma I don't know what is. i must have done something good. Also, said man deserves to have a lovely day for being very helpful. Damn you tesco
