Things are lookin' up

Yes, it's true. Exams are finally over (for another few months) and seeing Sia/Gabe/Kayleigh at the weekend made me happy. It's also half term soon (hurrah for another week off college!) and Valentine's draws ever nearer. For once that doesn't feel like a bad thing though. My plan is developing (makes me sound like some kind of evil mastermind/freak, although it's not really that complex) nicely and it'll be nice to break my habit of never doing anything on Valentine's. I was thinking about the fact that I've never gotten a proper valentine as well, and how happy I would be to receive one. With this in mind hopefully I'll at least be able to make someone pretty happy (and wasn't that the original point of Valentine's day anyway?) although I refuse to reveal who. I'm actually strangely optimistic about the whole thing. Normally the massive pessimistic side of my mind would be warning me not to get too excited, but I just somehow feel like it's all going to turn out okay. I hope I'm right.

So yeah, I feel really happy about everything for once. It actually makes me quite nervous, my natural pessimistic side is just waiting for something awful to happen (nothing ever seems to go this well for me, so it's logical for me to think something terrible will happen soon) and my mind is agitated trying to make sure I make no mistakes. Still, it's nice to be positive for once. Oh and the new Massive Attack album leaked over the weekend. On the first few listens I can happily report that it's looking pretty good so far. Full review coming VERY SOON.

It's also my Dad's birthday today. I know, it was only Mum's birthday the other day (they're only 10 days apart!) so it was quite stressful having to get something together for both of them in such a short period of time. I actually asked my Dad yesterday whether he deliberately got with Mum just because their birthdays were so near, he replied "Yeah, we organised it in the womb." He also went on to tell me that that's a very important factor to consider when choosing a partner. Yeah it is, depending on how much I want to annoy my future children. Thanks for that Dad, I'll be sure not to forget that one. Happy birthday as well, by the way.
