I think of life itself now as a wonderful play that I've written for myself, and so my purpose is to have the utmost fun playing my part. - Shirley MacLaine
A whole jug of cocktail and two glasses of rose later, I found myself enthusiastically dancing with the girls (You know the usual swaying, wiggling, pointing, shaking and pouting??) in a very crowded Lloyds Bar on Saturday night. Even though the club was packed, it was better than sitting in an old man's pub, talking about babies (which had been the main topic of conversation an hour previous) as much as I think children are cute, I don't want to commit myself to motherhood right now. I want to be able to travel, achieve personal goals and feel free. A couple of the girls still live at home, have a child and complain about feeling slightly lonely at times. Maybe they should have 1) Used a condom 2) Not rejected their friends and 3) Realised that the men they were with, were complete and utter fuckwitts. I know life will never be perfect, but I would rather bring my children into a happy world with two parents, a pretty house, two posh cars and an adorably chubby chocolate Labrador puppy...
I'm such a home girl at heart. Even when I was out celebrating my friends 23rd birthday with a cocktail in my hand, I was wishing I was at home with a cup of tea, curled up in my quilt, watching sex & the city. Rather than dancing for hours in Lloyds Bar, getting wine all over my dress whilst periodically wiping the sweat from my upper lip. Hmmm, does this make me a hermit? wanting to hibernate at home, rather than socializing with the world whilst singing along to 'Mysterious Girl?' in a crowded club at 1am?
On Sunday night the boyfriend and I went for a meal at 'Around the world in 80 dishes' (food glorious food) followed by The Glee club to watch Ben's Brother perform. I must say I was very impressed. I loved the feel of their music and the lead singer was very talented. I love the Glee Club, it's small, intimate and I always leave with a smile on my face. Unfortunately they only serve cold drinks, so if you're the type of person who gets a bit nippy, I advise you to take a blanket, as hot chocolate is not on the menu. Damn...
I shockingly spotted a celebrity in Starbucks.. well, a big brother winner. Anyway, the boyfriend quietly informed me that Kate Lawler was sat on the next table with two other guys. I think it's funny how you just HAVE to stare, but I didn't want to look as though I was one of those over-enthusiastic big brother worshipers, so instead I sat the other way and pretended as if I hadn't noticed! I contemplated asking for an autograph, armed with a Starbucks napkin, but on second thoughts, it was best to let her enjoy her coffee in peace. Hmmm, I sadly updated my facebook status, informing the world who I had seen. Unsurprisingly nobody commented, as they probably didn't have a clue who she was (after the 15 minutes of fame) Oh well, I'm secretly happy as I thought she was pretty cool back in 2002...
I'm looking forward to starting work. However, I am still waiting for a letter to confirm the days/hours! As you all know, I hate waiting around for answers. I'm very impatient. Hopefully I won't start work on my 21st birthday, as I was hoping for breakfast in bed and a day spent with the handsome man. As it's a new store opening, all of the staff will be new, so I won't feel as nervous and bonding with people will be easier. I'm just happy that I won't be spending most of my time moping around in the house, talking to the dog and obsessively checking facebook. I suppose I'm at that point where I'm desperate to just get on with life. I'm exhausted with worrying and over thinking, so being employed is going to pretty much save me (sounds very dramatic) but days spent indoors is not good for the mind, body and soul...
Right, an hour spent working out, followed by a three hour lavender scented bubble bath?
Indeed.
