So, I am hoping to use this blog to document what I get up to during my time away from Belfast, starting with New Zealand. When I am doing things, any things, I tend to get all caught up with the actual doing of them. As a result, I am terrible about storing memories (pretty good at doing this with meeting people, less good with the doing of stuff) or taking photos, that sort of lark, so if I can record it here, even in the most boring things in the most cursory way, I know I will appreciate it later. Too many commas in that sentence? Oh well.
I am also stupidly lazy and so will try to start now to get into the habit.

This week I have been mostly sporadically freaking out about leaving because it feels very soon, but also because I don't know when I will be back. I was booking cinema tickets for this Sunday (Che: Part 2, quite excited about that) the other morning, and in the process realized that Sunday is the 1st of March. My flight is the 31st. That feels very very soon. Very very very soon. This is all at once incredibly exciting and overwhelming and I have a very intense sense of sadness. I am very aware of how much I love living in Belfast at the minute but at the same time (too many 'very's in this sentence? Swivel), I'm also aware that this is probably because I have known that I would be going for the past 6 months and so have been enjoying everything so much more. Anyway, I know these things are all completely natural. It just doesn't make it any easier to think about leaving behind the people and places and experiences that I love.
On the other hand, I spoke to my Jones the other morning, and I can't fucking wait to see her!
So, yesterday and today I had this feeling in work that I didn't want to go home. When spent some time thinking about it, it became clear to me that this is because my house is a FUCKING PIGSTY. I came home and cleaned. I love having a clean house, sadly it just isn't very often that it is. This is a sorry result of the combination of my chronic laziness and the fact that I live with my sister, who is equally as bone idle. If not more so.
I am currently taking a Guinness break. I feel like I deserve it.

Things I Have Been Doing, hopefully recently, and maybe How I Felt About Them. Maybe also sometimes Things I Read or Heard and Liked. Used to be more of a writey sort of place but I'm terrible at updating because it takes time, so now it's mostly a picturey place with some brief wordy interludes. Intended to fill in the gaps in my memory and inform those in faraway places of the little things that make me do happy faces when I'm all the way over here.
