I feel like I’ve been through a tunnel of really intense boy stuff and just come out the other end feeling tired and a little lonely.

I was penning raincoats earlier and they had a label that said ‘shower resistant’ and I thought ‘why would you even wear a coat in the shower WHAT?’

The thing that really surprised me about having a boyfriend is that things are still sad sometimes. Which sounds silly but as a lonely 14yr old I didn’t think they would be.

Playing songs relevant to things on the ukulele. Maybe lame, but definitely cathartic.

I realise ‘losing’ sounds a bit like he died, but he didn’t, he just isn’t speakin to me anymore and the last time he did he said he’s going back to Australia early anyway. Sigh.

Losing your very, very new boyfriend-ish-hadn’t-even-had-the-chance-to-really-call-it-that-yet and good friend at the same time feels like a long, hard kick in the chest.

Listening to Belle and Sebastian for the first time in a few months is like being welcomed home with a mug of warm tea and a blanket after a long, long time away…

I think I want to be a teacher, and for someone who always said ‘NO I’D RATHER STICK PINS IN MY EYES GOD NO WHY WOULD ANYONE BECOME A TEACHER?’ this is rather an odd turn of events.

It’s so easy to slip into hating yourself, isn’t it? I’m trying hard not to.

Sometimes I really miss tumblr, or at least the people on tumblr, and perhaps today is one of those days. I’m officially on a gap year now, which is strange and a little scary, because nearly everyone’s going off to uni and a few others and I are getting left behind I suppose. I’m v excited, but it’s just a bit strange, that’s all.

Also, I was talking to a v posh girl on the plane yesterday, and I’m starting to think all this ‘gap yaaah’ stuff is shit, because she goes to a v posh school and apparently only maybe 2 people in 200 in her year are taking a gap year, and loads of people are in our year (but I know it’s only one school and we’re quite middle class too but anyway)

Also also, as happy as I am to be going to Sussex (and I am!) I don’t know how I feel about it not being Glasgow. I’ll miss Glasgow.

Did you know they used to do ‘feminism’ as a topic in a level french? (Piss off GM plants, our topics sucked)
