Hey, it's Tuesday, and it's actually been a pretty exciting/stressful day which is good because it means I can write an exciting first post. Above is me, hello, in my 'outfit of the day', which consisted of a crop top jumper (Topshop), a sheer maxi skirt (also Topshop), a totes amaze tote bag with my initial 'N' on it (Alphabetbags.com) and a scarf that I'm wearing as a bow on my head (H&M). I have to apologise for the awful photo quality, we (me and my uni friends) found a great location for the photo but no matter how many times I took the photo my iPhone decided to make me look like a ghost, but you get the gist.
I'll go on to explain my day, I'm trying to look for a new job, as my current part-time position is a bit of a let down, I won't go into detail as putting up hate about your job on the internet never gets you far. I've been handing out CV's pretty much all day, which was a complete ball-ache and I hate to say it, 'but in the current climate' it's fucking hard. Then I got a text from the guy I'm currently with and he's going to take me on a lovely winter break somewhere beginning of next month, it cheered me up tenfold as there is nothing more I love than getting away (I have recently been to Venice, I'm going to put a post up about that trip as soon as I find the lead to my SLR).
This new guy is a complete babe. He's been so lovely to me, it has been a bit of a whirlwind romance... I met up with him for a friendly drink a couple of weeks back after having a really shit break-up and since then we've been meeting loads, I have known him for quite a while mind, and I did know he had a huge crush on me when I was with my ex. It's just a complete contrast of how I got treated not so long ago, I've been so many places with this guy already, we went Bristol, he took me on a date on Saturday after I came home from Venice, and now he wants to take me away. My ex I think took me out twice in 2 years. I have a bit of an awkward plan of 'picking up my things' from my ex's place tomorrow. I'm literally going to grab my things and go, I don't even want to make eye contact with the guy. He put me through so much worry, and made me feel pretty shit about myself so he deserves no eye contact.
This evening after work, I finished at 10.30pm (yak) I went to pop and see my best friend. I hadn't seen her in like 2 weeks which is a fucking long time for us, she has had a pretty rotten time lately. She's got this girlfriend, its her first girlfriend after two long term relationships with guys, and her parents just don't get it, and are just giving her a hard time. I think its hard for them to grasp that she is neither gay nor straight, her dad thinks it's 'greedy'. I'm a firm believer that you love a person for who they are not their sex or race so it completely mind boggles me when people don't understand. I know it must be tough for parents to see their kids to grow up as different people than they were expecting. I think when people have kids they have this idea of them being mini versions of themselves, but it just isn't like that. Life is just different, generations are different. Our generation is exposed to a lot more than say our parents. I also see the same in my mum and the way she gets with me sometimes, its not on the same level, but she hates that I'm never at home. First of all I have previously moved out so it's not that she misses me its the 'treating the house like a hotel' thing. I work 35 hrs a week on top of being at university so this gives me no time to myself as it is, I have coursework to do and friends to see, both of these things are more important than sitting on my arse watching TV. I think its because when she was my age she was engaged, had a mortgage and was set for life. She never really went out and her life was just that, which is fantastic... if it all works out like that for you, but it just hasn't for me. I want a career I want my 20's to be full of exciting times and learning. I'm not ready to settle, not yet anyway. I have the rest of the world to see.
On that note I shall leave you with a song.
Song of the Day: Akron/Family - Island
Peace.
