you'll never know friends like these

more boxes

oh god, i woke up ready to blog about 3 tiny things and then everything happened and now i'm a bit flustered and it's late so forgive the mess that is my head/this post. it's always the same - i have no inspiration and get too anxious about posting something shit then i have too many things to talk about and get anxious that my post will be a mess and a rambling stream of consciousness. somewhere deep down, i already know that you guys expect one or the other so that's a silver lining if ever there was one.

let's keep these brief today. "what the fuck have you bought?"

fucking mrs claus at the bottom

everything apparently. i've got that frenzied christmas spirit and i'm making up for lost time (spent laying in bed, nursing a life threatening migraine) by spending all of my money on presents people don't want and also things i definitely don't need but i've got anyway. here's some stuff. truth be told, at the time of writing, i've not even opened this stuff yet so i'm not entirely sure what's in there. maybe presents. maybe anthrax. maybe more hamsters. who knows nowadays? (amazon does hopefully)

"what the fuck are you so happy about?"

this girl. she's called alice and i spent this evening with her. coffee, shopping and life talks. we spent too much money and not enough time together. she's a princess. real and true. it's people like this who make me think maybe people aren't that bad. you might meet a hundred wankers and one gem - the trick is to hold onto that gem and buy her nice things and compliment her hair until she decides to be your friend. it's been about 8 years since i swooned over this one and i think it's safe to say we're going steady. 

they say romance is dead

these flowers were sent to my house today. they were sent by a boy, one you who'll have heard about somewhere along the way. maybe you know who it is, maybe you don't. either way, that's an aspect of my life that'll develop as my blog goes on. got to stay true and honest haven't i - i pride myself on being very open with you little dragons on here and this is something i wasn't sure about revealing yet because there's a few cans of worms that could be opened. but frankly, as i've said before, i don't really care what people think. just try to be happy that, right now, in this phase and aspect of my life, i'm on the right track.

"just because" is the best

a work friend came back from her home visit to finland today and it was delightful to see her bright little face and hear her sweet little european accent. i feel like i clicked with her from day one and we've never really looked back. i've only known the lunatic for a few months but it feels like forever. she's so sweet and thoughtful (and her boyfriend is really attractive, hello james) and i think she struggled to adapt to nursery life and i like to think i gave her some kind of support. ANYWAY she came back with a present called "biff" who is a "worry eater". probably the cutest thing i've ever been given in my whole life. thank you susanna, you are a good egg. 

so i might've had a headache for the best part of my adult life but these are the things i'm thankful for today: buying things, my friends, nice boys and just because gestures. if they aren't some silver linings, then i don't know what i'm doing wrong xo
