There’s a lot of stuff I want to write about but they’re a lot of small bits and bobs so I’ll just write them all together here as I think of them.

I have a plate of birthday cake next to me here. It is looking at me. I don’t want to eat it because I am full already. Stop looking at me you piece of cake.You don’t even have eyes but you are looking at me!

First, I completed Phoenix Wright the other day! Fuck yes. Finally. That last episode with Ema and Lana was painfully long and complicated, but I got there (nearly) all by myself (I may or may not have had some help from Bob on this). Now it’s time to start the sequel, Justice For All…

I had a really good birthday. Started it off perfectly with my lovely boyfriend and the lovely Inn and Kev for about 45 minutes before they left Leeds fest to drive back to Kev’s for the night. I saw the Living End that night which made my birthday amazing, and then when I got home on Monday I celebrated a late birthday with Bob and the family at home. I am now eighteen woo.

I watched V For Vendetta last night with Bob. Twas his recommendation, so I bought it in Virgin, and was a very good watch indeed. I really enjoyed it. Though I should stop buying films when I already own dozens that I haven’t got round to watching yet. Next I shall watch Phantom of the Opera (though I have already seen that…) and The Prestige.

I wish people wouldn’t nag me so much. Okay so it’s nearly september and the gap year plans are pretty much non-existant. But I know it’ll be fine. I have a year now before I go to university and then I have 4 years of a degree and then it’s BAM find a job. I want to enjoy myself while I can. And that’s another thing. Not wanting to turn this into a rant, but why can’t they understand what it’s like. I’ve just turned 18, am finally at a place in my life where I am completely happy with everything (except lack of job, but even that’s not getting me down), and I love life (I hope I can pull off saying that without sounding too gay). I’m young and I want to enjoy myself. So I am. Why must they nag about every tiny little thing. Everything will be alright! I’m a positive person. I will make it be alright. I can take care of my own life

Why am I nibbling the remains of the birthday cake when I am already full beyond all meaning of the world thanks to a cleverly placed Subway at the train station, a leftover Thorntons chocolate bar and too much motherly-cooked food when I got back home?

I don’t think I’ll go to Leeds festival (or infact, any other festival) again in the future. It was good, but not amazingly brilliant as everyone makes out. And it was pretty expensive. I need to buy more lenses mmm.

Speaking of, I need to feel more inspired with photography again. I have an immense DSLR camera with 3 awesome (well, one awesome, 2 averagely suitable) lenses. And some macro filters. I want to go back to the days where I got up early, spent the morning setting up a single photo, then spent the afternoon taking the photo. God it was fun.

Speaking to old friends is possibly one of the greatest things in the world. Not many people know me as well as Lucy does. We’ve gone our separate ways since Year 11 and our contact has been somewhat diminished, but we still talk whenever we can. I do miss her so much, she was the best friend I’ve ever had and really, nothing replaces the conversations we’d have. But it’s also good to move on. We have our differences, and although we no longer speak every day, having a good catch-up is so amazing. I love her and always will.

(11:22:48 PM) alice: will you give me 3 ice cream scoops of tuna instead of 2?

(11:46:01 PM) obi-wan kenobi: AND if there are broken cookies, you get to eat them!
(11:46:18 PM) obi-wan kenobi: we dont break them on purpose when they come out the oven, oh no!
(11:46:33 PM) obi-wan kenobi: and it’s always then white chocolate ones that break?! who’d'a thought it?!

Anyway, the birthday cake is eaten and I have had a lovely hot bath. I smell of coconuts and I am tired. I am going to bed.

(12:03:01 AM) alice: haha yeah me too, seriously tho watch it again and theyll all come flooding back
(12:03:06 AM) alice: like lost memories

(12:03:30 AM) alice: where a gentle breeze blows through palm trees
(12:03:40 AM) alice: and parrots call to one another in the midday heat
(12:03:49 AM) alice: and pirates scour the island for buried treasure
(12:03:49 AM) obi-wan kenobi: HAHAHAHAHA

(12:04:09 AM) alice: yknow, those kind of memories
