Cross your fingers, hold your toes

Today I've sat around crying at 'P.S. I Love You' & reading the new Pat Barker novel. Oh, Pat Barker. She does escapism like no other. Well, a few others, but I do love her special brand a bit more than most. In three weeks this will all be over & I'll be back in Swansea, & tomorrow I need to break up with him. I need to break up with him in order to save my sanity, & to avoid history repeating itself. I can't take the world seriously, but I keep finding myself in these situations of my own creation that I can't handle!


I got a text from Jenni, telling me to stop feeling sorry for myself. She's very right, I must stop feeling sorry for myself. I'm going to watch 'You've got Mail' & be thankful that I don't have to kiss Tom Hanks. The world could be a lot worse, & now I have new music, a new phone, & when I get back to Wales I fully intend to buy two goldfish/mice & will hug them to sleep. Might be a bit harder with the fish, but maybe I can start sleeping in the bath.

I read The Stone Gods by Jeanette Winterson last week. It's perfect & I am very glad that people like her & Pat Barker are still alive to verbalise their thoughts so I don't have to, as I'm quite blatantly shit at it.

The internet is a cruel & devious fucker, it's stolen my soul once more again too. We should destroy it! PEE ON ITS HEAD!

I'll send you my Swansea address tomorrow when I can remember where I put it, it's on a piece of paper somewhere in work, but I have no idea where. I'll write you a letter & send you welsh sand, innit.

I miss you A LOTLOTLOT actually, this weekend all I wanted to do was call you & see if you wanted to bum around LDN with me, but you're just a little bit further away now. Oh well, I'll see you soon I'm sure, you're stuck with me bothering you 4 lyfe now, mate.
Put the bottle of wine down & step away from the internet, Mmmbop! Oh, no, first give me musical recommendations, I assume you've returned to your throne as musical discoverer supremo? I like this band called Margot & the So & So's, so there.

Another thing that I've been scared to tell you, I'm sort of back with my ex, yes, that ex. I know, I know, I know, I know. You can do anything you want as long as it makes sense...or you can afford the legal costs.
I'm rambling & I'm not even drunk/high SCORE. Shut up Keely. GOOD NIGHT, so long, farewell! xxxxx

I love Pat Barker.
I hate ‘P.S. I love you’ and ‘You’ve Got Mail’.
I went to Swansea this weekend and it rained on me.
Although I’m not entirely in the same situation, i.e. I do not have a bloke that I have to break up with, I sympathise with how moving can effect (potential) relationships.

p.s. I agree with the above ‘Bridget Jones’ comment. Then you know things are getting bad…that and ‘Lost In Translation’. I might take a day of work and do this soon, actually.

Swansea has a habit of doing that, but you have to stick through the rain & get to the good stuff. The rain becomes the good stuff after a while! It's my happy place.

I haven't read the novel version of 'P.S. I love you', but when I'm feeling like a hopeless mess, I like to watch chick flicks in order to make me feel better about the fact that I'm not a mindless, girly twat. Plus, I really like crying at films. My Girl is normally the film of choice, that film turns me in to a wreck.

Thank you very much for the partial understanding, I'm shit at commenting but when I do get on livejournal you're one of the people I try to catch up with. I'm crap at it, & never comment, but I do try!

No problems! Every now and again I ask myself whether it's normal for a 21 year old to be on LiveJournal as much as I am, or whether when I was 15 and set this up I considered whether I'd be on it in 6 years time....the answer is no in both cases! But I can't stop!

My crying film of choice is The Notebook, actually, or Magnolia.

I've had a livejournal account since I was 13, & now I'm almost 23, so you can always look at me & feel better about yourself! I'm like a low-budget chick flick...one that smokes, drinks & takes too many drugs.

I'm going to watch The Notebook now, ta! x

I've had an account for 10 years & I still haven't mastered the art of logging in, another reason for you to feel better!
