extemporally | You've got the love!

My pinky just went to sleep. Goddamnit.
Oh hey, it's awake now! That was an interesting sensation; I wanted to capture it.
Also, hey, hey, guess who's going to see Florence + the Machine when they come o'er here? That's right: ME! I listened to the album properly for the first time ever two days ago, and now I am so ridiculously stuck on her, her, herrr. Her amazing voice and amazing songs and (crush mode) red hair and jawline, gosh. ♥
Plus The xx is opening for her. :D
Also coming to Singapore is Au Revoir Simone, whom I know approximately nothing about. I have heard they are awesome though! Thoughts, anyone?
I am riffing off kickingrad's resolution to catch more live shows (does theater count? Because they are putting up The Tempest sometime soon, and I should check that out), because! For the first time in my life I have the time and also money to watch more things in general, AND AND AND. Super excited!
We had a new person coming in today at work! Dorky and nice and over-eager, I know the feeling, aw man. Reminds me of more than one person I know. Does that happen more often when you move along more? People starting to blur into types. I AM UNDECIDED ABOUT THIS.
Things that made me smile: talking with themoononastick about when it is acceptable to use Brit spelling (obviously the answer is when you're writing AUs where a critical mass of the main characters are British), and her telling me about the AU where Z and Charlotte went to university in London. *_____________*
I really like the dress I wore to work today, oh man. Dark blue sleeveless and edged with black cotton lace! It is a little bit too big for me (it was my sister's), but I love the skirt. Sometimes I think hey, when did clothes gain the ability to make me happy? with somewhat mild surprise because I never did bother when I was younger, but now they do. I feel my life has been greatly enriched as a result.
They have put up Chinese New Year decorations at my estate! Usually I don't like them when they're too much, all that red and glitter and gaudiness and also irritating songs. (This sounds like my unnatural prejudice against Christmas I suspect.) But they've put up fairy lights! This I can get on, it looked slightly magical when I walked my way in.
Today and yesterday I was struck by the urge to skip while walking home from the bus stop near my home. I DID NOT DISOBEY THAT URGE.
That's how my life is, today. How is yours?

FLORENCE IS SO AMAZING LIVE OMGGGG. The encore genuinely blew my mind and I say that as someone who has been to a lot of brilliant shows. She's just, urgh. She sounds even better live than on record, it's rad. I'm so hyped for you!

Also, that resolution is the best resolution. I'm getting myself in gear to check the listings, got to get my new year's run of shows going.

YAY SKIPPING

My day was kind of all over the place. I woke up at ass o' clock in the morning and threw up everywhere for no particular reason, and then dragged myself to school for a hand-in which was very anti-climactic. Then I went and hung out with my friend who works in a very highend jewellery and handbags boutique for a couple of hours and amused myself by trying on pretty much everything uber sparkly. I had to hide under the counter whenever someone came in. It was rad.

Highpoints of the day: my pompadour was super high and super long today, a feat of structural engineering, I had a shot of irish cream in my coffee and I am currently working on an awesome new manicure idea involving three shades of glitter.

...dear god but my life is dull.

I AM EXCITED NOW YAY. Shows :DDDD

The throwing up doesn't sound fun, dude. D: Better now? Although TRYING THINGS ON AND HIDING UNDER THE COUNTER sounds like the most superior kind of prankiness, I am envious.

Your life is exciting and you are an exciting person! Glitter and irish cream, dude! WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT?

You've got the love!
