Trying to dress all summery but the heat is not fun. Trying to avoid using the tube where possible. I walk to college every day and back or try to. This whole week has sort of blurred into one, but there have been some very good moments.
I love learning things about my friends, so we had a very vague game of truth or dare, which I quite like in alcohol form, with more truth and less dare. D and I had a very good reminisce of my most embarrassing memory. it made me cry with laughter. I don't believe anyone who says they've never had an embarrassing memory. There are a lot of things in the past that I am not wildly proud of, but I'd share them if I felt it appropriate and if someone asked me. Then we shared our worst received presents. I hate hate hate getting photo frames. I don't get photos printed out in real life much any more and I have no room to put them! I hate getting cheap candles; I've done lots of internet searching for good quality candles, to buy for myself and to give as gifts. Candles have a very unique niche in gift giving. They can either say "look I made some effort but this is still a generic gift" or it can have meaning. I love candles I buy for myself, it's a very personal thing. I dislike receiving bath sets, like with body lotion and shower gel. Hello, are you trying to say I smell? I can buy my own lotion and shower gel. I want gifts with meaning!
As a side note, I do actually feel really selfish asking people for stuff for my birthday. I make a wishlist every once in a while, but then go through phases of wanting them but they disappear. Thus, the wishlist is small and the things on it are things I would buy for myself anyway. But I like getting gifts. Maybe it's in my spoilt nature... -_-
Buying gifts for girls is a lot easier than for boys. For girls (in general, not me specifically), you can get clothes, gift vouchers, perfume, jewellery, food, girly stuff. Except I would hate any of these unless I'd asked for them! Boys are very hard to buy for.
I still can't decide whether I want to celebrate my birthday with my friends or not this year :/
Then we talked about whether or not we were physically disciplined as children. My parents never ever smacked me. Sure, I got told off, but I know my parents never hit me. I believe there are better ways of showing your children that what they are doing is wrong. Maybe it's the younger sibling thing.... I suppose I get away with more too.
I have missed the banter between my friends and I. Granted, a lot of the time, I am being made fun of, but hey... after all, someone has to be the ditzy one!
