I'm old enough now to pretend.

Activities in life.

Recently I have bought Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop distance for the 3DS.  AT first I absolutely loved it (major nostalgia goggles on) and felt very 13 and full of emotion.  The more the game continues  the less I am emotionally attached to it.  This may mean I am finally coming to terms that some things are still great even if you don't wanna cry over them because they are so beautiful.  A thought which had never previously occurred to me.

I have been offered what some people refer to as a 'proper' job in BT.  With a decent wage packet, I can now get a little closer to owning my own car, and living with my friends.  This thought does bring me a lot closer to my end of year goals... but it's really scary.  I am still getting paperwork done such as police checks etc.  References seem to be my main problem at the minute but I hope this will get sorted.

I was at the Ellie Goulding gig and the Great Gatsby ballet, both of which were lovely but honestly, a little disappointing.  I think maybe sometimes I just put my hopes a little too high.  The thing I have came to realise about ballets is that no two are ever the same!  My favourite so far remains to be A Streetcar named Desire even though I was never a big fan of the play.  The ballet left me completely speechless.  I love how dance can illustrate life, rape, sex and depression.  After having a few things lined up events wise I now find myself a lot broke and a little sad that I have no tickets waiting to be used so I will have to find something!

Brian and I FINALLY booked our Japan trip which is especially exciting.  This is probably my biggest thing to look forward to.  We leave on 6th June for London, then on 7th we leave for Narita Airport in Japan, stopping over in Amsterdam on the way.  We return on the 22nd of June.  I am so excited, I will have to post our Itinerary once we get it sorted.  SO far we are visiting the Pokemon centre, going to an onsen theme park and heading to a monkey place where you can feed the monkeys.  We also plan to get JR passes to travel around Japan for a week solid which means we are spending the first 4 and last 3 days in Tokyo.

In preparation for this I am coming down pretty hard on the Japanese revision so I can navigate around as well as speak the native language while we are there.  Step 2 of Japanese is actually proving a lot more interesting than Step One which was mostly just talking.  Learning Hiragana and Katana gives me a bit more of a grasp of the entire culture.  I love it, but it's so hard for me to learn the vocab as it's usually something very long with 8 syllables in it...'Oyasuminasai'

I am very much trying to be more positive, which is hard when you are also trying to lose weight!  I try to reward myself with things I cannot eat! Such as watch a programme I love, or have a big bubble bath but sometimes all I wanna do is eat nutella and icecream together in my boyfriend's boxers.

Speaking of best boys.  My bestfriend is staying with me this weekend.  He has never seen HBO's GIRLS, so we plan to watch the two series back to back.  Probably drinking wine and attaching one of our friends next to each of the characters.
