I think its safe to say summer has started. I woke up on saturday morning to find the sun blazing out side, and knowing i had no plans i went and bought sun cream and some drinks – set my laptop up outside,put daz’s carp bed down and layed in the sun for HOURS!

I had kinda forgotten that i was supposed to go to mats housewarming party at 7, and i went to a BBQ at ste and stacys from 5 till about 8. It was nice to just chill out all day in the gorgeous sunshine.

I arranged to meet helen agin, and we went for a walk round sherwood forest. It was really nice, we chatted for hours and eventually went back to mine where we chatted some more and called it a night. She went home about 1 and i went to bed. Helens not like other girls, and i respect her so much for that.

Im off to my mums now to have sunday dinner. Some american guy is over for metalbox and is working with kev so he’s there for dinner too. Should be cool to see what he thinks of our summer!

And my head is peeling 🙁 from sunburn lol

I need to do something about my dramatic mood swings. I cant wait to have a stress free life as that will iron out most of them. I just seem to have people asking/requesting stuff from me all day. Im supposed to be a digital printer and designer at mmx3, but instead im a full time maxxd.com admin, and a part time mmx3 worker. And to be fair its pissing me off. I need longer days, or i need to work like 4 days a week or something. There isnt enough hours in the day for what i need to do. Or is the problem that i take on too much at once?

I try and burn the candle at both ends, and work loads and play loads. I cant remember the last time i had a nice relaxed night to myself. I always end up on my computer answering requests from the many people that seem to request stuff. Like dave bless him, hes trying to do various things on the internet and not gettting that far with many of them. Now hes MORE than capable of learning, but trys to rush and do too much at once – my theory is start from the bottom up, and take your time with it. Rushing doenst do anyone favors – plus rushing stresses you out, well it does me anyway. Even when im rushing to put my socks on i lose my temper 😀

Im gonna spend half a hour on the websites im making. See if i can get something up that looks half decent to show people. P.s. stace and mush, your tops have been taken back to PnP to be sorted 🙂

I went to the odean cinema tongiht, to watch the remake of the omen – i went with the lovely helen (more on that later..)

The film itsself is really good. It uses the original story, and adapts it well for the modern day. For example they refer to the twin towers incidents in it, as being signs as told in the bible – or summat like that.
Anyway, there are loads of bits that are identical to the original, the bit where the chick hangs herself seemed a bit cheesy by todays standards, but they got away with it as it was a clear reference to the original. There are a few scenes in it that REALLY make you jump – i think helen had her face covered for a fifth of it 🙂 (i did for some of it too!!)

Out of ten, id give it a 7.5.

Now, the date itself went well, it helps that we know each other well, and it didnt feel uncomfortable for even the slightest minute when we were talking. Without trying to sound harsh, its nice to actually be able to go out with a girl and hold a decent conversation with her. And i dont know if its the time apart has done this, but we seem to have a lot in common which is good for’t conversations 🙂
It feels good to revisit a part of my life that felt so unfinished. And i will definatly be seeing her again.
