What a coincidence!

Next Sunday will be me and Michael's commitment anniversary. I guess it sounds weird but I don't know what else to call it. But anyway we have chosen a theme for our gifts to each other, I know how organised are we. We chose "Paper" which is kind of a coincidence since I have just recconnected with my old love of snail mail and penpalling.

Actually I have been having a number of coincidences lately. On Wednesday, I met my friend Guo Zhi Bai in Dublin city centre and I hardly ever get to see him because he is so busy with his life and his job and his studies and his badminton and everything else, you name it, he's probably busy with it. So we finally arranged to meet up on Wednesday and we headed to Super Mac's had a nice chat then off we went to the cinema.

We bought our tickets to see "Crazy Stupid love" When I was in the bathroom I checked my phone. My former classmate had text me and thrust me, he had been keeping quiet for the last 6 weeks, I had no idea where he was or what he was doing. He's another one of the busy sorts.

He text me to say "what a coincidence, I saw you with that basketball boy" him and Guo Zhi Bai don't get a long. Naturally I was shocked and was thinking how did he see me, but I didn't see him, My eyesight isn't that bad... right. I tried calling him no answer so I left it.

But the other weird thing at the cinema is we bought Diet 7UP in Spar rather than in the cinema to save money, I know were stingy students.

When I sat down I put my Diet 7Up in the drink holder beside me the lights went off and by accident i hit my bottle, I heard it land on the floor, I used my phone as a torch light to try and find it, because there's no way it could have gone far, but no luck.

So after the movie when the lights came on me and Guo Zhi Bai searched again and still couldn't find it. It was weird maybe the 7UP fairies stole it. Or maybe this was a punishment inflicted by the cinema owners for being stingy.

A Secret to share

Sorry for my lack of blogging these days, I just haven't had the time, I found a new obsession at the moment thats interpals. I have become crazy about finding new snail mail pals. I know its probably not necessarily a good thing, because I am keeping it from my boyfriend, I don't really know why I don't want to share it with him. Usually I like to share everything with him. 

I guess its just because its just a privacy thing, Perhaps I have gone mad on letters this month because it's a distraction, just a temporary distraction. I can't really explain why I wanted to start pen-palling and snail mail again I think its because I feel I have an escalating amount of secrets that I am holding in that I find very difficult to say aloud. 

For example things to do with my boyfriends immigration troubles my mom is more than pass remarkable about this she always has some comment to make about him. To be honest shes probably right in most of what shes saying but I don't like to hear it.  I just find it easier to talk about when I write it down. 

Another thing that encouraged me in a way to start pen-palling is a surprising source The Vampire Diaries, I know what you're thinking how does this have anything to do with pen-palling, well it's not so much the pen-palling but more the secret keeping, Elena the non vampire fell in love with a vampire and had to keep it from everyone she loves. It made me think I need someone to open up to and talk to freely. 

Someone who can judge from a far. I like being able to share secrets but also retain some privacy. Is it weird? Anyway whether its weird or not its what I've decided to and have started doing. I really like the feeling of checking the mail and seeing if anything has arrived I just find it so exciting. I really love the anticipation, sometimes it makes me feel like christmas. 

I have done pen-palling before and quit but hopefully this time I won't. 

Trip down memory lane

This week has been quite traumatic for me, My sister decided that we are going to redecorate our bedroom and everything must go. So we started the massive clear out on Monday, I had to say good bye to my Sylvanian families collection, Beanie Baby collection,  Cabbage patch kids collection and Pokemon sticker collection and so on.

I didn't want to throw away anything. I wanted to keep the old battered desk and chair, the old dolls cot. everything!!!! but my sister pushed and pushed until it was all gone and until I had no choice but to accept that yes I am passed it.

But nevertheless during the big massive clear out, I did find somethings that, although they were not lost, they were forgotten and discarded such as my good old Gameboy colour, that I hadn't seen for about a century and penpal letters from when i was 15.

I held onto them. and now I think i have the penpal bug again. I think I want to start penpaling again. I haven't asked my boyfriend about it yet. But i still remember the old penpal website i used to use.

I brought my old gameboy to my boyfriends appartment and he got really excited and told me about how when he was a kid his neighbour had relatives living in Japan who sent one to his nieghbour and he begged his mom to buy one but they were always to expensive... Anyway now he has decided he wants to get a gameboy the new one Nintendo Gameboy 3DS I

I think its a really bad idea lol. He will be glued to it. and its sure to bring about a load of fights.

Anyway the decorators arrived on wednesday morning and our new colour scheme is purple. You name it, bed cover, curtains, wallpaper, chair, dressing table, mirror, lamp, lamp shade etc to be honest i didn't get much say in the matter I personally would of gone for turquoise but nevermind. When its all finished I will take a picture!
