A day in York

Another collage, bcos I am lazy, I like collages, and I still have not figured out how to work hello! in conjunction with Picasa(Schpng, I am warning you, DO NOT call me useless).

A day was spent in York. Was extremely exhausting considering I didn't get much sleep before. But nevertheless, in good company, and such a lovely place, there was nowhere I had rather been. The city is much small in comparison to Manchester but very picturesque, and shall we say, "less ghetto". It is a city made up of mainly whites of all ages, and it was different to see all these aged people after being in a city full of uni students and young adults. We visited a castle, walked around the city centre, Shambles, a tea shop, walked along the wall, and Yorkminster. And I got a running commentary about the architecture of Yorkminster from Hame(and many more buildings really) while we were there so I dare say I appreciate architecture a lot more now. We also attended the evening service at Yorkminster(Which is the biggest 11th century church in England), which was breathtaking. It is where the romans brought christianity into England and the church was a product of that.

So much history in one city, and in one church, and one day was not enough. I dare say, I will be back.

I just got back from a gig. And then I realised I am living life like its a holiday. except its really not. someone help me please.

Essential; Ally's birthday Part II

We celebrated Ally's birthday again by properly going out this time and getting very lashed (with me the exception, but of course). Essential wasn't just any other gay club along canal street, it was also anti-straight, full of drags, half naked men and lesbians. Anti-straight bcos they would kick us out if they spotted any heterosexual couple amongst our group kissing/hugging/holding hands. And the bloody club played cheese the entire night... I was not pleased, but nevertheless had to suck it up (or was told really) for its been ages since all of us have been out together and as the company was brilliant, the night was too.

Lets say our thanks

Thank you Lord for everything you have blessed me with. I count my blessings each day and I'm so lucky to be a child of God! Life is difficult sometimes; and everything gets so immensely hectic but I wouldn't have it any other way. Lets all smile and count our blessings today =)

The one about the shumei sandwich

I never realised I missed Graham and James so much till I saw them walking down the street today and they both screamed in unison from 10 metres away : "SHUMEI SANDWICH!!!!!!!!" and immediately the two of them squashed me in a giant hug while the entire world stared, and all of a sudden we were back in Oaklands again, being us.

It was 5 am and I couldnt sleep so I decided to start writing a post before Pravin came back from clubbing and we were just talking. I felt awful from the dinner at Shere Khan. Made me quite ill. Hence the insomnia and this post.

I celebrated Ally's birthday last night with the rest of the ex- hulme hallers. Was great being together again despite staying in different houses etc. Ally turned 19 yesterday. Shes a lovely half english-half greek girl who stays on the Island of Thessaloniki. Never ever say anything remotely related to greeks/greece. Like "That sounds like greek to me" or "Oh look at you, your such a greek goddess". I should know.

Kat, Raman and I

And on Tuesday, I went for the Man United v. Copenhagen FC (3-0) match. It was my third time in Old trafford but my first time watching a game, let alone a champions league game. The atmosphere was awesome and the crowd was just amazing. The songs sung and the chants of the players name were so unreal that it felt wierd to be there. But the Danish people kept their spirits high and kept on cheering despite the evidently one-sided game not in their favour.

PERSPECTIVES (photo credits to my old hulme haller mate-Vivienna Birch)

I speak of........

Overthinking

I overthink things far too much. I analyse everything, possibly even every person i'm in contact with for more than 10 mins a day. One's dress sense, one's level of spoken english, one's demeanour, one's confidence level etc. And then I analyse situations as a whole. Sometimes you'd be shocked if you only knew what went on in my head. But i've pretty much had it, the brain needs a rest, and some peace.

French

People who aren't even bare mediocre in french should not attempt to speak the language, blog in the language, put it up on their msn nicks in the language, say it or name things/events with it. Its a very pretty and romantic language your right, but your definitely spoiling it. I will most definitely hurl if I see someone spoil it again.

God

I love God, I really do. I just wish everyone did, then we wouldn't have so much darned conflicts in this world. And we should all stop speaking evil about people or stop being negative." The good man bring good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart, his mouth speaks" (Luke 6:45) Easier said than done.

And...

if your sad, had a horrid day, or are feeling frustrated at the lack of a love life, I quote my fave phrase from The Object of My Affection and say to you, " Head up, young person!" because there is really no time in this world for you to feel down and be whinging about it.

Just when the drought looked like it was about to end and rain was about to fall, I started thinking that maybe I was just happy with drought. Because everything sometimes just comes back to one fundamental question, and when the answer is in the negative, nothing seems right.

Feeling: Thoughtful, Speculative

Darling, your right, the world is falling and I wanna run away with you...

Some people don't know better and speak before they think. I have been guilty of that. But when someone puts me down for a wrong reason, he will soon realise that only within a matter of two years, before he eats his shoes. So I am angsty, but who can blame me really? I won't say your going down, all I will say is just watch and see what you said won't happen, happen.

HOUSEWARMING PARTY

Saturday marked our first ever party- our house warming party! Since Scott was at the Bolton v. Liverpool game, Prav at Goo Goo Dolls concert, and Loz was at church, it was pretty much left to me and Clare to clean and set up the place for the party. And so slog away we did. And all the people who mattered to us showed up, and it was a brilliant party! People didn't leave the house till 4 am and all of us made our way down to Sangams after the party for some supper. Met some of my housemate's friends and it was just awesome. Everything is just about coming together=). Below are some of my favourite pictures.
