Well, this is the first time I have listened to The Killers' album properly, and it's good so far. I know it's been a few days since my update, and a lot has happened, meaning that not only do I have too much to write, but I have no time to write it in. It's kind of a painful circuit, if you know what I mean.
Taking Carlos to the airport was an official end of an era, and though dealing with it, I was sad about it. I spoke to him today, it's almost as if he hasn't left, but still. Next year is another year, and we'll meet new people, and we'll make new friends, and we'll have new groups. But I will still mourn for missing friends, and the days that I will miss. I listened to my official coming home from Heathrowe album, The Colour and the Shape, and despite what it says in my previous entry, it was not followed by picnic or Nabe. Emma and Mizuki and Kaori and I did go to Tesco's and we did have a good day in Froebel field, where we still ran, and we kicked the same ball that I had kicked with Carlos and Yukina and Jenny a couple of nights previously. We had mini pizzas and drinks while we talked and raced, and that field, out of nowhere, is now a location of memories. After we realised we didn't have a good volleyball or a frisbee, we made another trip to Tesco's, which meant we bought a frisbee and a badminton/volleyball set for very little.
Despite getting to sleep at midnight that evening, I slept until 11:45AM the next day, meaning I missed my appointment to meet Kaori, Emma and Mizuki at 11AM, and met them at 1PM instead, where Katou was waiting, and where Yoko appeared shortly after. At that point, the 70 sit-ups that I did with Jenny nights previously caused me excrutiating pain, which is a shame, because it meant I couldn't do the "crab" (or at least that is my excuse). We played volleyball and badminton by the lake, as well as frisbee, and had a perfect picnic with fried chicken and tuna salad. After this, another sixty courses of Nabe. It seems there is a neverending supply of it when it's cooked, and some people can eat a lot more than me. I found that, driving my car onto Froebel sports field, high-beam-headlights and doors-open/loud-stereo makes a partymobile even in the dark. Following a short lived game, Kaori, Emma, Katou and I sat in the field where I star gazed at Sirius and considered light traveling from wherever the star was, however far away that was. We played language games, and then we toured the University with a novel game of "It", that involved deception, double-crossing and screaming, and then home.
Today, aside from giving my father a lift to Heathrowe for his trip to Holland, and listening to a different album on the way back (Electric, disc 2), and purchasing a guitar case from eBay (which just about fits), I had a relaxing day with Dan, where we looked at his place, watched Mr and Mrs Smith (which I was pleasantly surprised with, while he hated it), and went stationary shopping, where I finally got some DVD+RWs, so I can start emptying my HDD. He bought a desk, and from there I went home, and decided to write a blog entry.
That's a summary. I realise it's short on my insight and personal feelings and is more of a log of what has happened, the more in depth entries will resume when it isn't too hot to think. But you know, I'm going to get something off my chest right now:
I'd like to thank every single one of my friends, every person who has had a positive influence on me since I started University, because as of mid/late June, this has been so far the best year of my life. My smiles have been genuine, I have had real reason to be happy, and I'm very glad of all of you. Thank you. By September, I'm sure the year will have improved, but as of now, I am happy enough with it to class it as my happiest.
This album is getting a little samey, and not as impressive as the beginning, but I still like it. I will listen to Demon Days soon, comprising the two albums I downloaded today. Hooray for resumed illegal files, I am happy with P2P once more.
