As another year rolls in, another big change happens.
I’m getting a flat of my own again, and about time too. This year has been rather similar to my second year of university – I like the people I live with, just hate living with them. I’ve now got a 2 bedroom flat quite far into the residential area of gravesend to look forward to in a couple of weeks, I’m moving in on the 23rd if all things go to plan.
There’ll be a virtual tour of the place just after I’ve moved in – good times! I’ve got to get a 3 piece suite when I move in as my current sofa will be going into bedroom 2 to be used as a music room.
It’s going to be a rather expensive move, and expensive living again – but I knew that and can work my way around it. It’s also going to be different living on my own again but I enjoyed it last time so this time should be no different. plenty of time to just chill out and do nothing and worry about nobody but me.
Originally I had thought about having a house warming party but I’m going off of the idea as I think I’d rather just have the place quiet and not full of people. I’ll invite a couple of people round but nothing big at all. I’m a miserable git really and I’d probably just bail out of my own party and have a quiet drink at the pub.
Hopefully the house move will start a few more changes too – I’m getting into a rut which I thought I was enjoying and I do to an extent but I’ve been reminded of other things from my first and second years of uni that are repeating themselves and what that did to me. Rather cryptic I know but fuck it, if you knew me then you’ll know what I’m talking about. Something will have to give eventually and this time I’m 99% sure it’ll be me.
This year is a year for less gigs, but more festivals it seems; I can’t afford to go to roughly a gig a week this year because of the cost of living on my own so if the gig costs more than £15 I’m not going to it (with some extreme exceptions) unless it has already been booked. However the 6 festivals (Hammerfest, Graspop, Metalcamp, Magic Circle Festival, Bloodstock, Damnation) I’m going to should more than make up for it!
What else is going on then, I’m being given more responsibility at work which is great as it might mean I can get noticed and progress somewhere within the company.
Dan and I are going on a mammoth European Invasion in June/July over 3 and a half weeks of good food, good booze, and bad living – There will be a separate post for that as it’s quite a journey.
Don’t really have too much more to say, just figured I should write something even if nobody is reading it. Probably better if nobody is reading it to be honest! It’s bollocks.
OAO.
