Set The Fire to the Third Bar

I just finished talking to C online, and it was lovely. love the way she totally gets what I mean when I say something, because we're so similar in the way we feel things. Such a pillar of support. So here's to you, babe. ;)

It was a very rainy dreary day today, but I still went out to run a couple of errands. First, I picked up my train tickets for Thursday's trip to Frankfurt at the Bath train station, and then I went to trawl the various telecomm network shops to check out prices for a roaming Pay-as-you-go SIM. It was mind-boggling, complicated, and ultimately very expensive. In the end I settled for an Orange card, which gave me the best deal and the least complications. Orange rawks!

Lucas, Yi's friend, ran into me at the O2 shop (another mobile network), and we subsequently spent some time hanging out and running from phone store to phone store. Heh. He was fun to talk to, and rather entertaining company. And he so graciously paid for my sandwich and tea at Pret A Manger, because of the dinner we cooked for him. :) Awwwww. A really nice fella - and not just because he paid. Heh.

I so absolutely dig the Crayfish and Rocket sandwich at Pret... and the Lemon Cake. Yumyumyum :) Oh, and I inserted the link to Pret so you guys can check it out if you're absolutely bored; I hope that answers the questions I've been getting about what Brit food I've been eating. Pret's the answer!

Sometimes you just need the time alone. To my own surprise, I find myself happy alone sometimes, just walking about town doing things. It's like, you feel a peace inside, from just being yourself. So it's cool.

You know something? When I was in English Lit class yesterday, I just suddenly thought to myself while I was sitting there, if Heaven is anything like what Alice Sebold said it is in her book, The Lovely Bones (where you create your own space in heaven, and you can have anything or anyone you wish there, the setting of your heaven is wherever you desire to settle down - it can be your childhood home, or an amusement park for example), then my heaven would almost definitely contain an English Lit class, where I'll spend my time studying all the wonderful complicated beautiful poetry in this world. Yeah. Haha.

I just heart poetry.

Weird thought, I know. But there you go.
