Day 8: Long Weekends Are The Best

alright, so i' not writing this blog daily (which i think i mentioned in the last post).  as much as i would really like to, it's not realistic.  since i've only been living abroad for two and a half months, everything is still so new and exciting so i feel i have to take every chance i have to go out and experience it on my own or with new friends.

it's a bank holiday weekend which means i have 3 glorious days of whatever i want.  prue and i had planned to go to manchester for the weekend, just to get out of london and also so i could see a new part of the uk.  well, it was a last minute scramble and things just didn't work out so we decided we would make the most of the weekend closer to home.  essentially i've been partying (hard) for the past 2 days and loving every minute of it...  going to a couple after hours clubs and having a mini house/room party with some friends.

not sure what tonight will consist of, but there is a high chance that we will be dancing up a storm at a club somewhere.

Day 7: Things Don't Always Go As Planned

all week, like literally since monday, i've been dying to go out.  today (friday) was meant to be an amazing night of friends, good music, and a little booty shaking.  well, that didn't happen.  the two friends i had planned to go out with both bailed because they were tired.  to say i was annoyed is a gross understatement.  i tried my best to be understanding given karen (my aussie friend) has to work tomrorow, and prue has been burning the midnight oil for 3 days straight.  but at the same time i was really disappointed because i feel like if the shoe was on the other foot, i still would have made the effort and gone out with them because i knew it was important and they had been looking forward to it for so long.

oh well, as my grams always says to me i often give too much to my friends and expect a lot in return.  when i say a lot i don't mean anything greater than what i can offer, but i'm willing to sacrifice myself to help a good friend have a great time.  i know karen and prue didn't do this intentionally, and this is probably just the booze talking (well probably not), but i don't think it was too much to ask for them to come out with me even just for an hour.  what do you think??

Day 5: Same old, Same old

happy wednesday!  today is a good day since:

a) it's wednesday, which means tomorrow's thursday, which means it's basically friday
b) i get paid tomorrow

today was pretty uneventful... work was really busy for me but it was nice to actually have to use my brain again.  after work prue picked me up which was a nice treat because i got to sit in a cab while she dropped off some of the clothes that she used to style the celeb last week.  i got to pretend i was her assistant and go to a pr agency and see some amazing shoes and clothes that aren't available to the general public.  i fell in love with a pair of shoes there.  i didn't think anyone noticed me staring at them until prue and i got back in the cab and said "you loved those shoes didn't you? i saw you eyeing them."

that's all i got for today!

Day 3: Well This Is Awkward...

today was the first day back to work and seeing nate since the "incident" last week.  although i had pep talked myself into believing everything would be fine, and that things would only be awkward if i made them so, i was really nervous about going in.  so nervous that i actually got up an hour earlier than usual so i could get to work before nate.

prue had styled me last night (with clothes that i would never be able to afford) so that i would look fierce and feel fierce.  it helped a bit, but i felt myself avoiding any opportunity where i would be within close proximity to nate.  i still wasn't ready to make nice.

Day 2: Friends And Fashion

i've been wallowing in my sorrows all weekend over the events from a couple of days ago, but today one of my best friends (let's call her prue) called me and dragged me out of my house to help her with some work.  now prue is a stylist, a very well respected one at that, who works with some of the hottest celebrities, so of course i jumped at a chance to experience a day in her life.

she was dressing one person in particular all week, and when i saw the amount of clothing and accessories that were pulled for the celeb it blew my mind.  i've never seen so many beautiful (and expensive) clothes.  luckily for me prue let me try some stuff on for fun.... at one point i was wearing £30,000 worth of clothing which consisted of a dress and a jacket.  unreal.

after we finished work we just hung out (still are right now actually) and it was really nice.  it was nice to have a reminder that i have some truly amazing friends.
