I experiencing it, the moment where two people just ‘click’, where total strangers just seem to get each other, and the whole world seems to pause. Yep, we met at Liverpool South Parkway train station.. not the most romantic place I know, but still stranger things have happened. I was on the phone to my mum explaining for the what felt like the a millionth time how I managed to go away for 10 days and return home on crutches with a broken foot and just as I signed and hung up the guy sat next turned and as so what did you do? I explained how I’d managed to fall down the last two steps in a club, landed flat on my face, and continued to get more pissed and dance the night away thinking it was a sprained ankle, until I woke up in the morning in excruciating pain and with a bone poking out of my foot which I’m pretty sure wasn’t there the morning before, he laughed, I laughed, it was beautiful.

The last two days have been.. lets just say hectic!

I decided boxing day would be a day spent in front of the tv watching christmas films, eating chocolate and downing a bottle of wine. Instead I got a phone call off my cousin - the successful, loaded, workaholic; who I rarely get to see, and didn’t get chance to get time off to attend our annual family gathering (lucky cow!) to say that she would be in town for the night, and would I like to go out for a drink. Well as you can imagine one drink turned into several, which turned into some sort of life guidance session and on a whim I booked flight ticket (on my newly required iphone) to Belfast for new year, to help ‘find myself’.. or a lucky charm to bring back with me! ;)

I then proceeded to sing Fairytale of New York on karaoke, and throw up in front of a group of strangers, not one of my finest moments.

I’ll apologies in advance that this post is being written under the influence of a few glasses, okay, bottles of wine :)

Overall the festive day wasn’t as unbareable as I thought it would be. The majority of gifts I received consisted of drink, chocolates, money and dvds, which suits me fine, and gives me a good excuse to hide away during the new year! Christmas has also made me appricate the time I have away from the family, and I have decided to make more time for myself in the new year. but it has also made me realise that whatever happens regarding relationships, work, money, or friendships, I’ll always have this day, with the same stupid traditions, home comforts and people around me that suport me.

Hope you all had an amazing day, whatever you did!

I’ve just finished watching The Holiday and you know those amazing first dates you see in films, where two people accidently meet, or get set up by friends, or just go out for a casual drink and it turns into something amazing. Where they just click and seem to have this connection, this bond that makes them appear almost made for each other? Well I’ve decided I want that. I know, who doesn’t? But even if it only lasts for the night, for a few short hours, I want it.

I’ve had three semi-serious relationships and I’ve never felt that click, or anything even close to it. They’ve all been made up from friendships, or weeks or months of flirting and build up which can only lead in two ways, a relationship or to stop speaking altogether; and i like the sound of my own voice too much for that!

For those of you who don’t know what I mean, I mean that moment that  makes you think ‘WOW’, and takes your breath away. That give you butterflies in you stomach and makes you feel that the whole word has stopped for that split second, and you know something amazing has just happened and that something even more amazing is going to happen. If you’ve had that, I envy you.

So here goes, it’s Christmas Eve and I am sat in my mother and fathers house, feet up, wine in hand, reminiscing and wondering how I am supposed to get through the next 24 hours, (let alone the build up to new year, new years eve and then 2011 itself!) so I decided to start this blog, documenting every awkward moment, painful memory and rant in the upcoming year – just to stop myself from going insane, even if no-one else ever reads it!
