i thought of this title this morning
when things seemed grim and i struggled to stay awake in the van (think i did drop off at one point...but it was ok, i'm not driving at the moment, i'm learning a new run, so someone else was driving)
but it turns out i've had a pretty good day all in all
there'll be a video at the end...if i remember to post it...which i like
and there's some positive vibes flowing out as well...
anyway reasons to be cheerful
1) it's less than 3 weeks until my holiday :)
2) the non-job called today and the position that they wanted me in has been authorised, although i still don't have a start date, it's a step in the right direction
3) i'm feeling much more chilled out this week
4) non-job want me to go in tomorrow to have a chat about a few things related to the job, this means a sick day for the driving, which in turn means a bit of a lay-in for me :)
5) i won just under £50 at the weekend...cash...that was good
6) i did a shed load of hours at the pub last week, which means that i'll get a pile of cash this week, half of which will be saved and put towards spending money for the holiday
7) my new books arrived yesterday in the post from amazon...a whole day early, shame i'm still reading the last one though, but it does mean that i'll have a new book for the flight
8) at the quiz on monday, although i got a frosty reception at the bar (my ex was working it) everyone else there was pleased to see me, and we won the music round, and we had the overall highest score
9) seeing said ex on monday brought back no memories or bad feelings for me, in fact i was totally fine with it, leading me to believe that she didn't have as much as an effect on me as i apparently had on her
10) (yep that's right...10 reasons why i'm cheerful) this is the 3rd time i've blogged this week and although this is the first original blog, it feels good to get back into the swing of things, i've even got a HNT ready for tomorrow :)
see
i'm positive all over
now
on to the video
this video is from youtube, and is a UK advert for chocolate, cadbury's in fact, and it caused a big stir, it was talked about on the radio and in the papers...
it's really random
and has no obvious bearing on the product
but it's still cool and i like it...
anyway, that's me done for today
take it easy peeps,
laters,

i'll get told off if i don't write this...
ok a little back story
10 months ago i was in an unhealthy relationship, as is always the way, i didn't see this at the time and therefore squandered the following opportunity.
10 months ago i met someone who to this day i think about regularly.
10 months ago i met lindsey (aka linny)
a planned holiday to the UK with her friend and a half arranged attempt for us to meet up while she was here before she left didn't hold much hope for me and her to meet, however we exchanged numbers in the hope that she would be able to arrange things that we could meet up.
things worked out that she'd breeze into oxford for the evening on her way to london. just enough time to meet up and have a pint.
but during the evening i flirted with not only lindsey, but also with her friend. this lead to confusion that wasn't fully resolved until last weekend.
and it wasn't until this past weekend that i broke my silence with regards to my true feeling from that night.
lets break it down
when we sat down i didn't sit next to lindsey, i sat next to her friend, this was partly intentional on my part, it's a lot easier to study a person and take in everything about them when you can look at them.
through the evening i found it hard to take my eyes off lindsey, but i think i was doing a pretty good job of not lingering too long
through the evening we had a good time, so much so that the girls cancelled that night's accomodation in london and favoured a night in oxford (they ended up in a hostel, not ideal as i'm sure lindsey will tell you, i initially suggested a motel saying that i'd come and get them in the morning and make sure that they made it to the station safely) i would've offered space in my own home, but at the time i was in the spare bed because i'd been out and if i got home late and woke up her, then my life would've been hell.
at the end of the evening, when i dropped them off at the hostel, we shared a kiss, first i kissed her friend, then i kissed lindsey. she's said tha ti kissed her longer than i kissed her friend, and at that point she half realised that it was her i'd been interested in. at that time i wanted to kiss her much more passionately, but i refrained because of the relationship that i was in.
since that night i've often thought what it would've been like to kiss her that way.
since that night i've had much deeper thoughts about things
since that night i've found myself a little jealous
since that night we've kept in contact
since that night we both hid things from each other about how we both wanted to kiss passionately that night
that is until this past weekend when it all started innocently in a conversation on MSN
and ended up with my inviting FU to be the best man at our vegas wedding, but only if he gets in the elvis suit. venue set and you'd all be invited and it's down to me to pick a date, i'm thinking late september
now i know that it wasn't serious
but there's a big part of me that does hold on to those memories of that evening and there's a bigger part of me kicking myself for not spilling my guts to her sooner or kissing her that night. there's a part of me that would love to marry lindsey
anywhere
anytime
i hope she now knows how i feel
and i hope that she knows that i love her

sweet release
it's sunday and i've lept really well the last two nights
it's been bliss
and better than that i've managed to go out both nights and have a good time while only having 2 pints...
so friday night i was supposed to be going out with mates from the pub, we were going into abingdon...but at the same time we were starting in abingdon...which is confusing i'm sure.
anyway i've been taking all sorts of tablets to try and ease this cold away, none have really been working much, but it is getting better... so due to this and the fact that i wasn't really in the mood, i drove over and thought that maybe if ihave a few drinks then i'll kip on the sofa again, or i could drive home later. i chose the latter
i got called weak through facebook because i didn't go out all night...which is fair enough, i called the guy weak last weekend for the same reason...lol
then last night i met up with my soon to be housemate and had a drink with her
she's getting very excited at the prospect that we're becoming housemates, and to be honest i'm looking forwad to it too. she's going to help me find a woman by vetting any that i introduce to her, so i think i'm going to add that into the plan!
we also joked about having dinner parties and things like that, you know, generally being civilised and cultured adults...yeah i can hear you all laughing from here...
get this too, i spent 3 hours emptying the loft yesterday, rooting through years and years worth of rubbish, or treasure depending on how you look at it. i found records, vinyl 7", 10" and 12" stuff dating back to the early 60's if not a little older. i found a record player from the same era that i'm dying to fix and see if i can get it working again...think of the money i could make from these things!!!
i also found my old school reports from when i was like 7...how freaky is that? according to one report at the age of 7 i have a reading age of 9 and a half...see i was intellegent at one point!
anyway, seeing as it's sunday, i've got roast dinner today :) and it's not going to be long, so i'm going to sign off in a minute...
just a warning, because this driving job is proper rubbish, it's unlikely that i'll be blogging on a daily basis any more :( and seeing that this week i've agreed to do a stupid amount of cover at the pub as well, i'm not sure when i'll be able to blog...however when i get my new home (under 2 weeks now) and get it up and running and will likely blog whenever i can...
right, hope you're all enjoying your weekend
take care

Addendum
i forgot to say that even though i'm not going to be blogging every day i will still take a pic of myself every day and post them over on The 365 P(roject)X in bulk when i next can get online
one last thing, i found this on youtube...it was done for comic relief the other week, and because i missed it, i searched youtube for it and now i'm going to share it because it's AWESOME!
enjoy
