ink_splotch: (sing us a song tonight [piano man])

"Things just happen. What the Hell."

I am back, and possibly sick.

I am assuming these things have nothing to do with each other.

Vacation was so incredibly amazing. Part of me wants to do a full and complete update, but the selfish, sick part of me wants to go to bed and watch Wilby Wonderful, and I think I'll let that part win tonight. However, I will say this: I have the sweetest, most wonderful girlfriend ever. I say this for many, many reasons, most of which I'm assuming she knows, but one of them definitely is her taste in birthday gifts. My girl took me to see Billy Joel. I'd more-or-less given up hope of ever seeing him live, resigned myself to DVDs, but she got both of us a ticket to Birmingham for his concert there, and it was amazing. Mindblowing. It was every thing I wanted and hoped and wished it to be. Billy is a huge, wonderful dork; his voice is much deeper now than it was; The Downeaster "Alexa" is amazing live; there is nothing like an entire concert hall singing the chorus to Piano Man; and Only the Good Die Young is best live, with your girlfriend pressed up behind you, both of you singing along at the top of your voices. It was, in short, an experience.

Malta was warm and clammy, diving was fun, and have I mentioned that I think my girlfriend is amazing? It was a good vacation, a really *good* vacation.

And seeing Sofie was fun, as always. Can I just say that she is one lady with wonderful taste in films? And kinks, as a general rule. It was so much fun having her stay, and - in case I didn't mention it - it was so nice to have you there for me the first night after getting home.

I ♥ all of you, but haven't caught up with my friends page at all; I may do so in the next couple of days, but if there's something you think I should know, post it in comments.



Oh, and in case anyone was wondering: I've got a place at Lancaster University doing English Literature and History. Yay!

Welcome back, you! I'm so glad you had an amazing time and INSANELY jealous that you got to see Billy Joel live.. ugh. There are no words. So I'll just leave hugs and hearts for now.

*hugs♥*hugs*♥*hugs*♥*

You do indeed have a very wonderful girlfriend. It's so heart warming. And cute. And augh. YAY!

Although I have no affection for Billy Joel, I'm glad you had such a good time, and I'm glad you're back, and congratulations on Lancaster, and I've actually run out of things to say at this point :o)

And ♥ to you, too. *smiles widely*

It was absolutely amazing to see you again, but I believe I've mentioned that a couple of times. Or five. Hundred. Something.

I think you should know that I lack shelves. Because that is clearly important for you to know about. Also I am wearing a ring.
