Well, summer is finally here. We can all relax now. I think. Exams were pretty hefty going but got through them. Feels weird being the summer holidays again, after last year. No matter, it can't happen again now. To be fair, it's been a rather crazy year. I haven't had one like this in ages. Never had to think so much about my life and life itself ever before. Education can bring new views on everything I guess. But less said about the year the better I feel.
Even weirder is the weather. Lately it hasn't been that hot when it's supposed to be. June was way hotter. Ah well, it'll pick up. It always does. August no doubt will be scorching. So, stuff that's happened. Well, my current relationship is going pretty good to say the least. We see a lot of each other now. Just like in Easter. Was Jo's 17th birthday party on the 19th... wasn't too bad. Considering. Nah that's a bit unfair, it really wasn't that bad. Just wasn't feeling too well. I'm well chuffed with my wrapping skills though, made her pressie look really nice without my Mum's help. It's nice anyway but the paper makes it look better. Bloody hell this summer is just trying to be filled to the brim with campouts. After a rather successful one last week, I'm receiving lots of Facebook messages concerning them. So long as I have a tent, all my equipment and someone to spend the night with (preferably G) I'm game with it.
Recently went to Oxford with her as well, saw Eclipse. That film has probably redeemed the franchise for me personally. Just. There was more comedy and real action rather than soppy romance. Don't get me wrong, romance isn't too bad, but with the Twilight saga it seems you need to be ready to tread through 3 feet of heart-wrenching, tear filled, blissfully in love female emotion to get a real acceptance of the plot. A particular favourite film critic of mine claimed that Twilight featured "vampires who are winy emo brats, the werewolves are muscle-head lunks, the romantic leads have no chemistry and anything remotely interesting is forbidden according to law". To be honest, although he had a point, the full on monster vs monster war at the film's climax made up for Edward's rather wet 'old school' romancing. Think I slightly prefer the werewolves if anyone is that interested. It seems though that the franchise's ultimate goal is to convince every girl of my generation that being willful and independent will only make them moody and miserable. That true happiness can only be found in co-dependant submission to emotionally domineering men in the context of traditional marriage - another quote. Anyone who gets narked when girls go all gooey-eyed over the whole Team Jacob or Edward theme, now you have some form of remedy.
That's about it for now, see you around.
