hanging out with the people who matter - whether we are doing something or nothing - its always good, cleaning my teeth until they make that squeaky clean noise, getting pissed and pierced - although at the same time is definitely a mistake i wish i hadn't made, being in bed, sexed up hair, being a student and having an amazing night out on just 2 quid 50, bass that shakes you to your core, shoes - particularly wellies, dunlop trainers and pixie ballet pumps, having a best friend like mark - i love pinching the back of his arm until he squeals, kissing - from friendly embraces to smooching stubbly man-boys at the end of a drunken night out (particularly the latter.....ummmmmmm) scrapbooking everything, going to gigs - big or small, enduring my gruelling 20 minute morning run with zoe and then spending two hours recovering in the kitchen drinking apple tea, climbing into bed with my mum and dad on christmas morning, taking photos, counting alfie's armpit hairs, pretending to be an incest-loving item with letty, visiting places i have never been to before, the old fashioned sweet store on the cobbled streets of bath, walking barney through the forest of beere, playing with the walkie talkies at cancer research with mon-mon george and nat, early winter sunrise, busy spring mornings, lazy autumn afternoons, chilled out summer evenings, dancing like a loon with marion and tracey, falling off things backwards, being carried home after a night out, drinking appletiser then laughing till it comes out of my nose, pasta with cheese or pesto, granny smiths and pink ladies, blueberries, ice-cold chocolate-covered turkish delight, wandering round little villages with vintage shops and teahouses, making max eat lettuce, wrestling with raff, naked wednesdays, galloping when its raining and the wind is blowing, being with lotte - whether its being each others pretend boyfriends or making her confused about the fan-rain situation - life is always fun with her by my side, finger painting katrina's back then meeting random boys who feed us hot chocolate (minus the rohypnol) at 4am, sparkly things, trying to keep up with kyle when drinking, screaming "dave!" at the top of my lungs until they are black and blue, asking lloyd "who's your baby?" because i always know the answer, being licked by chris, going on picnics, looking up at the stars, having icecream fights till syrupy gloup runs down the walls and sticks to the furniture, rolling down muddy hills and splashing in big puddles, wearing things i've had since i was 14, buying five kinds of cheese, trying to work out what the clouds look like, camden market, having si and louise serenade me with the death-metal version of happy birthday, drinking archers with sophie, having my hair done by hotchip hannah, going on midnight drives to tennis courts with joe, lying down in the middle of a field when its raining.....no matter what you think is wrong with the world everything stops in that moment.
