peiyeni'm flying home tomorrow for the weekend :3 looking forward to a break from work. so yay. and also my 2nd therapist's appointment, which should be.. interesting
(no coffee date though, since Mr W isn't scheduled to return to clinical work til the 22nd. so close yet so far. maybe next month.)
also i may or may not have purchased flight tickets to London for August 2018... (answer: yea, i have. they were cheap!!! ish!!!) so uh YEAH edfringe 2018 is happening. i'll be there for another two weeks this year because i think two weeks is a pretty good length of time for me to appreciate the festival on my own without going mad from anxiety (plus it is an acceptable length of time to take off work without being questioned by my superiors). i am considering bringing someone else along this year though, just a question of who. big bro was my first candidate but apparently he's got THINGS to do in new zealand, so that figures.
i've got an airbnb booked as well, because i'm organised like that :B it's located just down the road from the pleasance!! the owner also has a cat WHICH IS SUCH A BIG BONUS FOR ME it is ridiculous. switching from hostels to airbnbs was a good choice last year tbh. comfy beds and awesome fringe-convenient locations at more or less the same price as a bed in a shared hostel dorm (and I don't have to kill someone for a plug socket)
god, i'm so excited for august now. 7 more months, guys.
TELEVISION
I've started watching We Bare Bears! which is such a great cartoon. cute animation style and i love the humour. also, actual East Asian representation?? i'm surprised at how pleased i am about that (the show's creator is of singaporean descent, which is Pretty Cool i guess). oh and Ice Bear is my favourite character ever.
I finally finished series 4 of Sherlock after about a thousand years. and ohhh boy did the show jump the shark, eh.
on a more positive note, Inside No. 9 is back and that first episode was SO BRILLIANT.
MUSIC
i've been listening to fall out boy on repeat for days now. just.. their entire beautiful discography. the new album drops on friday and i cannot waaaait. i already love every song they've released from MANIA so far. i've even preordered a physical copy?? lol. it's my first CD purchase in forever.
i love the new music video even though it is a ridic pile of memes
this song speaks to me so fucking much???? i love the lyrics, they are a massive G-P-O-Y
"i'll stop wearing black when they make a darker colour" would've been 16-year-old me's life mantra tbh
"if i could get my shit together, i'm gonna run away and never see any of you again" me during uni lol. i've literally cut out everyone i knew from my life back then bc i associated them with the miserable time i had in med school
"when i said i'm sorry i'm late i wasn't showing up at all, i really mean i didn't plan on showing up at all" again, very me
"i hate all my friends, i miss the days when i pretended, with you"
"i became such a strange shape, such a strange shape from trying to fit in"
just... literally ME. how does this band continue to speak to my heart even after 10 years
i'm gonna stop now
