Every bite of ink a reminder of you (original) (raw)

I finally have actual, high speed, wireless internet. I am officially back in the world! Extremely good timing too as I have been isolated from humanity due to swine flu symptoms :( I am locked in my flat until thursday so that I don't risk infecting anyone else with my piggy flu bugs. Which means no birthday/birthday celebrations for me this year, only pj's bed and a mountain of tissues. I should have known really, the birthday gods do not like me having nice birthdays, expecting anything more than dissapointment and usually some form of illness is expecting waaay too much. At least when I'm not in bed I can download stuff to watch and keep me from going completely around the bend with bordem, although my main source for tv/films has shut me out due to my lack of net for the past two years, slightly unfair.
I finally moved into the new flat after a pile of crap, the original place which was next door to my old flat went through at the last minute, literally a day before we were meant to get the keys and move in the landlord turned around and said they didn't want to do it anymore and left us homeless. Luckily the agency we're with immediately got us a viewing for a place just down the road which was vacant and ready for us to move into asap, it's a really nice flat, not as big as the original place but still lovely. We've got a large L-shaped wrap around balcony around the kitchen/living area, a large bathroom and two large bedrooms, I dibbed the largest room. The building is only 5 years old and in the marina area of ocean village, you can see the boats from one side of the balcony, we live opposite 2 cinemas, one a multiplex and another an art house so all our movie needs are covered and we're above a supermarket too so we've got everything within reach. The only thing we need now are sofa's and we'll hopefully have those the beginning of next month when we get paid.
Everything is actually pretty good apart from the piglet bugs, things seem to be coasting along okay for the first time in a while, the old flat is all sorted the new flat is great, i'm finally starting to sort out my application for my masters course at uni and sort out the financial aid situation, just being able to do all these things for me is amazing after spending all my time worrying about james and where his life was going. The next few years are going to be selfish and all about me.

So I suck once more, everytime I open this page no matter how much I have to say I can seem to fill it.
James and I broke up a month or so ago, too many arguments not enough being together on both our parts I guess. It's wierd I haven't really cried much about it, but I've never been one for wallowing and tears I guess. It's been tough, I'm living in the flat by myself at the minute although I'll be moving out in a couple of weeks or so hopefully if all goes well into a flat with my best mate here dan. It's actually only next door to where I am now which will help wonders with the moving. It's going to be wierd leaving the flat, there's so much of us both here, not just as our first place together but also as my first non-student place.
There's been a pile of crap with my bastard landlord here, he's lost the deposit for the flat and is basically ignoring all contact I try to make to sort out how he's going to give it back to me. My family should be starting legal proceedings soon, which means if we win I'll get about £2,500 in compensation which will help majorly with the new flat etc.
I'm hoping to apply to do a masters at the local Uni over the next year if not the next few months. It's basically all about retail, management, merchandising, buying etc and after i've completed it I can get a job in any head office in London and start earning a decent amount of money rather than scraping by on minimum wage!
It's wierd how things turn out and open up new avenues for you huh? Hopefully when I'm in the new flat I'm going to have a proper Internet connection as dan refuses to live without internet and I've been deprived for too long of a decent broadband connection i'll be able to actually keep up this blogging thing like I used to without the Internet crashing every 5 minutes.

Oh boy, it's been forever since I've opened up this page. Life has been crazy busy the past couple of months, mainly due to work. I'm now officially a window/mannequin specialist at work, after a whole lot of stress, tears and frustration, and it's great. I actually feel like I'm getting to do something constructive at work these days, and it's creative too so I don't feel completely bored everyday.
I'm being trained up by our main mannequin specialist caroline who is just adorable, and who specifically chose me for the job as despite the fact that I'd been supposedly being trained to become a window specialist since january I wasn't actually getting any training or any opportunity to be trained. So there were a few tears and a serious talk or two with my manager and with Caroline and now I'm finally getting somewhere.
The only thing about it that I don't enjoy so much? my 6.15 am starts everyday. I end up falling asleep at around 10pm which is really early for me and a bit of a pain in the arse for James as it means due to our lack of a seperate Bedroom/Livingroom he has to either watch tv practically on mute or he banishes himself to the bathroom to read until he's ready for bed. We're starting to look for a new flat to move into, however we got screwed over by our estate agents who turned out to be fraudulent and who have now lost our £600 deposit so neither of us can really afford to shell out another £600 for a deposit on another flat. We also had a lovely incident where our kitchen ceiling became a lovely water feature, due to a huge leak in the upstairs apartment so our kitchen ceiling is now completely trashed which is lovely.
How are things in everyone's lives?

I'm going on Hiatus for the summer as my Internet got cut off last night. I'll try and pop in as often as I can to let you know I'm alive but it probably won't be until late September early October that I'm back for good depending on the Internet situation in the flat in Southampton.
Have a good summer guys.
