Today has been pretty awesome. I've spent the day with friends I hardly ever see and when I do it's like we haven't had the six months void inbetween.
Then tonight with friends that I've actually seen more in the last few weeks than in the last six months and again it never has any empty spaces.
The guys came around this evening with their guitars ready to join me with my new electro acoustic that I can only just get something resembling a tune out of. Now I'm writing this sitting with them as they're writing something, I'm not exactly sure whether I can call it a song yet but whatever it is is really nice. I can't wait until I can actually play.
I love being able to sit in on a Saturday night with two great friends and do nothing but make music, or at least on my behalf listen to music. Life has to be good from here.
You need to be surrounded by people that inspire you and make you want to life yourself higher, and there's nothing nicer than knowing the people that can do this are the people you enjoy being with. For a change this isn't just based on my personal experiences, it can be spread across at least the three of us here tonight.
More nights like this should be scheduled for this summer.
That metallic taste of music.

Billy's Birthday.
What is it that makes your life important? Is it whether you have what you want? Is it whether you give others what they want? Is it whether you're where you need to be? Is it who you're with? Out of all of these I don't think there's one answer for everyone, as we change every day and that's not a bad thing. The worst thing would be only being fixated on one of these aspects. Which the more I think about it the more I notice that a lot of people are.
It's actually quite theraputic to just sit and wonder what it is that makes your life so important. As soon as I ever ask myself that question I just get visions of certain people's faces, which leads me to believe that it's the people in my life that make it so good. Of course the places you are and the things you have will always embellish the rest of your living but the core of your life will always be branched out by the people who hold the foundations for you... But then that's just my opinion.
There are plenty of people that are happy with just what they have not who they have. Although I can't help but question their actual happiness.
What makes your life so important? Even if the importance only lies within your hands, it's still important nevertheless.

Thursday 9th July 2009.
Not long got in from my friends' show of West Side Story. There were all absolutely terrific! Have to metnion that at least. Some of their parts were the best I've ever seen them perform and it just proved how well they could hold a stage, and as they were performing I could just see how comfortable and happy they were to be up there.
During the interval I was talking to one of my best friends about after next year when we all go away to uni. It really is the only thing I can think about at the moment. It just seems so exciting, everything about it, but at the same time scary and daunting. Not the things that most people seem scared of; the money aspect, making no friends, having to cook for yourself - I can deal with all of those things. The things that scare me the most aren't the obstacles that lie before me, but the ones I'm leaving behind.
My worries aren't big enough to have any serious impact on any decisions, but it has just really dawned on me that after a few days of absence from my friends there is usually a text sent round organising a meet up of sorts... how is it going to be after three months apart?! The variable most likely up for change will definitely be my phone bill.
Maybe none of this will work out how we're planning at all, I just don't know. This is coming towards the end of my 'Future Decisions' period of my life, only really have one year left of it until I've made the choice that will then dictate the rest of my life. God, when you say it like that it sounds almost as scary as the teachers make it out to be.
Some lighter news - my electro acoustic came today. My birthday present off my dad (once I'd decided a few months later what I actually wanted). And it's so beautiful, I really do love it. I can't wait until it stops hurting my fingers to play and I get good.

Girl going better than imagined.
Wednesday 8th July 2009.
Spent the day at Aberystwyth University today with my best friend and her dad. It didn't have the spark about it that Kent seemed to have, but it was still a good uni and had a lot going for it. I think the biggest decision about going to uni is deciding which is the most important; the university or the course. Which is why Kent seems so appealing because it has both.
This week of art is great so far, got so much done and it's going better than I imagined. Being able to pick our own title is the best thing they've ever let us do in art.
Had an awesome night, not really done anything spectacular just sat and watched a film with dad and his girlfriend. The thing is it's been a long time since I've been able to do that sort of thing at home without getting annoyed or told off for something.
Maybe my last year at home before going alone will be a drama free one, and one that builds the home I'll look forward to coming back to. I hope so, it's nice to have the whole family happy again.
Never underestimate that... family.

Girl checking out universities.
Tuesday 7th July 2009.
So, by not planning a work experience week they plan to punish us by making us work with the younger years on Activites Week... Shame when they put you in a classroom with teachers you get on with and let you get on with your work. I do love my teachers sometimes.
Been to an art exhibition tonight with some of my work up on display, wasn't anything extravogant but was still kind of cool.
Lately it's becoming more and more profound that my group of friends are changing. Sone of the people I was best friends with when I first started writing my blogs, I barely speak to anymore. I know this will be the case more and more over the next few years, which in some respects is a great shame. - Or is it a chance of new possibilities and better friendships maybe? Who knows we'll just have to wait and see.
And as things lie at the moment I do sort of love it a lot having loads of different random friends that all get on together and click for so many different reasons.

Girl back online.
Monday 6th July 2009.
So, it's been a while. I'd like to say I've done something amazing that's taken me away from my blog, but there really hasn't been anything outstanding. I seemed to just be out a lot more than usual with friends having a pretty fabulous time.
It's strange how a short time away from the academic life can change you so quickly. It took no time at all to get used to the parties, pubs and clubs, but now to get back into the school scene proves to be a little more difficult. Just as I am sort of settling back in we'll break up again for summer. Oh well not to worry, the time for that is if I still don't get back into it by the time September comes.
The biggest change over this last month and a half has to be that university is definitely looming on the horizon now. Although I feel looming is probably the wrong word for it, it seems to imply something negative about it which is certainly not what I intend at all. The only worrying thing about the whole prospect is the possibility of not getting into the university I want. - Which by the way, is Kent. I fell in love with it this weekend.
So there's nothing life changing to report to you all, other than I think I'm back from my little rest. I think it's been good, because I don't want my blog to become a tedious chore which I'm afraid might have happend, however now I've just realised that I do actually miss writing it.
There's nothing like boring your friends with your endless mindless ramblings.
There's a life here that's pretty damn good at the moment.
