don't panic, breathe in slow

FRONT ROW (/what a show)

hey look listen it's probably past midnight, nullifying my "every day blog" but, frankly, i don't care because i'm a bit drunk. yes, it's a school night and no, i don't really care. it's thursday which translates to every city as "thirsty thursday" and after the week i've had, i can tell you one thing for free: i'm not thirsty for a vimto. i'm thirsty for happiness, for stimulation, for interest, for engagement, for booze. so i met up with an old boss tonight and went to an impromptu free gig because it's nearly friday.

they say home is where you heart is set in stone

hello world/bench

i fucking love bristol. it's a place that everyone should visit and learn to appreciate if you don't already live here. it's a good size, full of personality, busy without being overwhelming and picturesque. of course it, like everywhere else, has its downfalls but if you're smart enough to consciously not piss everyone off around you, you should be alright in the end. i'm a tiny, angry, blatant homosexual and i've drunkenly walked the 7 miles to my house several times and lived to tell the tale. 

it's a nice place ah shaddap your face

more love for everyone

after a long hard day of writing more letters and finishing off nursery work (during my week off, why do i torture myself?) i thought that dinner with a friend would be lovely. so i raced to a very "boho" part of bristol town, met one of my favourites (hello angel features) and dined with her. the first place was too meaty (careful) and very clammy so we made our way to "rocco's" which i've always seen but never entered. i've never been so happy to enter something in my life. well i have but that's another story (sorry nan)

i wish all those lazy days were everyday

and here begins my week off of work! by the looks of things, it's set to be a bloody busy one. i've got lots of exciting things in the pipeline and i started as i meant to go on today. it's late and i'm in quite good spirits after a lovely evening so i'm going to tell you all about my day & future week and we can all have a lovely time then come back in seven days to see if i've done nearly as much as i wanted to. deal? let's just agree not to be disappointed when i inevitably end up laying in bed for 5 of my 7 days off. now that's a deal.

i've been around the world and i i i

BY DAY

okay so today's lyric title is a bit misleading but i did go back to bath yesterday and i've travelled around bristol town today so that's basically the world, no? either way, i got off of my self-pitying ass and out of my comfort zone to do things that would hopefully make me happy. and you know what? they did. it's been a bittersweet few days but, if i'm focussing on consciously making the effort to be happier, there are a lot of positives i can blatantly see. join me, won't you?

i took you to an intimate restaurant

the happiest new year in a while

introverts are strange creatures. we don't mean offence when we say we prefer our own company it's just being around people so much is exhausting. you've got to be switched on all the time which sounds like nothing but sometimes it's too much. consciously choosing to be happier, i went out for dinner with three of my favourites humans.
