Soo..this is the Single life for me then?

So apart from the "woe is me, he left me, how can I cope *cries and drinks*" post and "the List" of the perfect man for me post, I have been oddly quiet.
It is not because my depression over another failed long term relationship took me over the edge, indeed, it seemed to breathe life into me and give me back my pixiedust that was slowly being drained out of me. I have had so much adventures Since March I hardly had time to breathe let along write in details over where I have been and what I have seen..
From the sheets of new lovers to seeing live music to giggling with friends, this Summer was the Summer of Adventures for sure.

So a quick Summary of the highlights:

  • Playing and completing Pokemon Gold. I am that cool at being a (causal) gamer, this goes first!
  • Going to Bath in April and then in May to see my good friend Dan Artsie. We explored the hills, the national trust park, Saw Lions, and witnessed his Graduation. I also met his Mother for his first time. Very cool woman.
  • Getting back on track to University. Going back in September and getting my Bursary too. I get paid to complete the training. *Dances*.
  • Going to Bristol to visit Waffle. It was a weekend of intriguing catch ups and seeing a more relaxed Bristol.
  • TENBY! yes, I went for the weekend for Brenda's birthday. Wales was amazing. Paint balling, beaches, Urban exploring, welsh cakes and going on the track for go karting!
  • Sheffield for The Beach Party (Dan's 21st) and Then for the Big Brother house with with the introduction of Sam. His Blog and version if you care to read is here.
  • Going back to Work and getting off benefits and sorting my head out a lot better. Off the anti depressions and Self harming stops being so regular :)
  • Saying a final goodbye to my close Friend Belinda and her lover as they depart to Australia for a year
  • Going to Wimbledon Tennis with a new face in my life, Clockwise..and realizing how much I hate tennis..Urgh.
  • Going for many BBQ's in various parks!
  • Seeing Wireless! Wooh! Finally seeing Pink!
  • Going Camping in Latitude! 54 acts in 3 and half Days..<3
  • Going to Ben and Jerry's for the 2 days..Free Ice creams and many happy moments with friends
  • Going to see many bands and my beloved La Rebla Fam and Mad Ramblings!

And the plans for the future?
Well to carry on with the adventures and get my PIN. All good times me think!

  • Planning to go to Berlin for the Xmas holidays and qualifying just before then :)
  • Going to Travel to America with a certain Hayley if Funds allow it and see a certain Lori
  • To enjoy the joy of being free, young and with a good job. :)

Wooh. Pixie's back!

See you all soon!

(And thank you all for helping me get back my spirits in the hard times of Winter and Spring. I never forgot your help, support and constant Love. Especially Cookie, Sparrow, Mr D, Raz and my Mama. God knows I am happy to know you!)

A anarachy meetings on Bikes..? I'min!

John took me to Critical mass today. After waking up, deciding to go with him, and then having a panic attack thinking about the fact that:
1. I have not cycled since I was 14 and even then it it was not on the streetsof London
2. Traffic. Me on an exposed metal device. Not liking the odds
3. The accidents that may happen. Seen way to many disasters when it was bikes vs Cars/Buses/Trucks..The out come is not pretty.
4. A huge crowd of people. Urgh

Anyway, John managed to convince me it was a good idea, and so I went off...

First we went to pick up a woman known as"Sane Becky". I have yet to meet "Starbucks Becky" to compare the two, but she was cool. A traveller it seemed, as she came back from Mexico and was making plans to go back there..

We had a practice round at John's before taken off to the Station,and onwards to Waterloo.

I managed to get 2 flat tires during that time. (Only me, I know!)

Critical Mass was okie. There wereabout 300 or so bikers of different ages and cultures. Once we all got going it was scary. A wave of bikers all blocking the roads was terrifying!
It was good fun though..I crashed twice and kept speeding off from the main group (Elise and Dan were there as well..)
Still, It was useful to see how it was building up my confidence on the roads and getting to know the gears..




We zoomed for about 4 hours around the west end,before the group split up into smaller and Smaller parts.
We decided to head off ourselves..Brought pop and chatted in Waterloo (Well they chatted..I was trying to catch my breath subtly to hide the fact I am really unfit)..

Still...Good night. Wooh
