Currently:

Trying to eat a classic Magnum ice-cream out of one side of mouth as the other is still numb after getting wisdom teeth removed today.
Oh the joys.
Face looks like Mike Tyson got to it after a horrendous Botox surgery went wrong.

And listening to Arcade Fire.

Crap Joke #1

Why did the tap dancer retire?

He kept falling into the sink.

A beginning... of sorts.

Here I sit. In magenta... obviously...
The day is warm, sunny, lazy...
From my view I can see a sloping lawn with haphazard dandelions moshing in the wind.
There is a sloping concrete wall with sun bleached trellises and shriveled vines trying to make their way up to the sill, competing for light. The trees are tall and slender and one of my favourite things is listening to the sound of the leaves blowing in the wind. It reminds me of the wash being pulled back into the ocean on the sand.

Back to my little reality here, I'm currently feeling torpid and damn lazy but in a calming, relaxed way.
In my life, I'm preparing myself for a time of great change and I am utterly terrified.
Though like Robert C. Gallagher said [?] "Change is inevitable - except from a vending machine"
That makes me feel somewhat better.

I told myself I'd try not to spread my whole personal life onto this blog but I'm always about telling things as they are so I'll let the readers of this blog [all none of you at the moment] in on the true going-ons in my life. None of this mysterious crap.

The change that is coming is University and a week from today I shall be leaving my home for the first time in my life with any permanency. Hundreds upon hundreds of thousands have gone before me I am well aware but for me, this is scary.
I shake thinking about how my first few days are going to pan out. All the privacy I'll have is a 4foot by 4foot nothing box. Yet, right there, just underneath my heart I feel a little squirm of pure excitement and adventure. It gives my shivers up my spine to know that finally I'm going to leave the nest and safety blanket of home and make myself count as an individual.
Though it's more difficult to make yourself stand out as a singleton in a mass of 11,000 people.

I went to visit my future home in the university of my choice yesterday and I felt better for seeing exactly what I was facing into to.
I'm a social person, I really am but there is another side of me that would happily shrink into the shadows and not be noticed.
Can't have my cake and eat it can I!?

At present I am also nervously waiting for a text from a someone I asked to a certain evening of importance. I put the invite to this someone after a few drinks and while I was nowhere near delusional or inebriated, they told me to invite them again the following day when my SoKo had worn off. four hours later from my second invite and no word. I always land myself in situations such as these.
More on that later.

Throughout my blogs I will be also throwing in recommendations of music and books that I like.

At the present, I'm trying to make my way through the first volume of Lord of the Rings but I'll admit that I'm struggling!
I am listening to Ray LaMontagne, Cut Copy, PNAU, Athlete and the Weepies

This is my favourite song at the moment.
Class video as well.
