dave-based day
19th June 2004, 11:11 pm

my day was much better than all the other days i've had so far, because i got to see dave today. he got lost on the way to my house, mainly because matt's directions (give to him by me ages ago) were wrong... anyway, he rang and i found him on the A to Z, and then walked up to the main road to meet him, so all was fine.

we went to the traff centre, as i needed to get a father's day card and was still on major job alert. dave spotted endless jobs for me, and i turned almost all of them down. he'd be like, "part-time work at the early learning centre" and i'd reply, "yeah but it involves children, and i hate children quite a lot, so it's probably not the best job for me." i don't want to work with children or shoes, so that limitied us quite a lot.

i also had to resist buying both the day today dvd and REM live on dvd, due to my current money crisis. i was so proud of myself, felt like an adult for the first time in ages.

it was fantastic just seeing dave though... for the last month of uni he was pretty much in my room 75% of the time, and we got really close... i was so used to having him around to ramble on to, and it's been really weird going home and not having him or mel hanging around. so getting to talk to him today was great, especially because i had loads of things to tell him. we also got kfc, which is kind've trademark for us, and talked about 3rd year housing whilst we ate it.

3rd year housing will not stay the same as it is now, that we both know. dave said something that was lovely to hear, that that was, "there's only two people i know that i really want to live with next year, and that's you and richard." it's so nice to have made such a good friendship with someone in such a short space of time, makes you feel really special. i definately want to live with dave, rich and mel next year, but as to who lives with us, well that depends on how everyone gets on this year.

seeing dave was really great, but it also made me miss mel a hell of a lot more, if that makes sense.

i'm so glad i went to uni, i really am. it's true when they say it's one of the funnest and most worthwhile things you'll ever do. sure it kind've ups the emotional stakes, what with living with a lot of people 24/7 - i mean hell, there's been a hell of a lot more angst than there was in 6th form, but that kind of thing seems to form closer bonds between people. of course it's partly down to luck too.. if i'd been stuck on somewhere like j floor or m floor i'd have had a much crappier time.

i'm going to the temping agency first thing monday morning, so at least i get this weekend off from job hunting. been doing a lot of reading and writing instead, tres relaxing.

bit of a non-entry today, sorry about that. most of my days are non-days at the moment.

last - next
