L's Response

So maybe in the dialogue that i posted last time between me and my cousin, you might have thought that L's repsonses were maybe.....limited...?

She said so herself :P

But she did post a heart-warming full response on her blogger account (which i won't give away) a few hours after i came out which was directed at me, so i thought i would post it on here to really show how she took it.

And it was so great for me to read. I was completely overwhelmed.

Here it is :

------------------------------------------

Someone told me something today. And it was a big something for them to tell me. It wasn’t expected at all but it just happened. Words cannot describe how… humbled (that’s the honest word which springs to mind when I think about it) I am that they chose to tell me this. To receive that much trust from one person is mind-blowing and I am so grateful and thankful and so much else that you told me. I just can’t get my head around the fact that they trust me so much as to tell me, it’s unbelievable. I know this person will read this eventually and I just want to say thank you so much. When I think of how I handled it I’m not too pleased! I would have liked to have said so much more to you but I was shocked at how much you must trust me to say what you did so my replies may have seemed a bit wooden and stilted but I assure you that I didn’t intend for them to be. When I read back on the conversation I feel a bit silly =) What you told me doesn’t change how I think of you one tiny bit, you’re still the same person to me that you always were (this has now morphed into something of a letter to you =P) and I won’t ever tell any one person. This is something you’ve shared with me and it’s yours, not mine and I promise that I won’t ever tell anyone =). You trusted me and to me that’s a big deal. Reading your blog (and yes I read every single entry) has really really opened my eyes to how you must feel and I hope you know that you can talk to me if you want to. What you told me doesn’t matter to me and I can’t stress that enough, what you said doesn’t change anything at all. Thank you for trusting me, I completely and utterly respect you.

I could carry on all night but I’ve repeated myself several times already and it’s getting late!!

Thank you again.

Wow =)


-------------------------------------------------

I'm sure you see know, even if there was any doubts before, how awesome my cousin is.

I was crying when i read that.

Happy crying, of course.

And it really surprised me when i found out that L had read all my blog!
I'm pretty sure she knows me a lot better know.

I love all my cousins, and i'm sure L does as well. But she must know a lot more about me now than any of our relatives.
And i think that brings us closer together and that makes me happy.

So, once again, thank you for everything L!!!


Anyhoo, i don't have much else to say.
This post was just to show what L's thoughts really were and to show you guys how awesome she really is!


Cheers,
Rowan

What a Day!

This was some day i had today (well yesterday now) but i will just say today

I hadn't even planned on doing anything, maybe get a start on homework or some boring crap when my good friend Alex called and asked if i wanted to go see a movie, i said "sure, what's for seeing?" and he recommended Zombieland, which i heard had good reviews....so we agreed to go and see it

The next screening was too early so we decided to go and see the one at 4pm or whatever it was, we missed that one as well coz the train was late (goddamn trains)
But missing it was actually a good thing, we got to cinema and found the next screening wasn't until 6:30pm lol, so we booked early tickets for that, leaving us with two hours to do whatever the hell we wanted. We went and bought some cd's (Rage Against the Machine, System of a Down and Kasabian) then we spent about an hour in a music store trying out various guitars and basses, it was well fun! I got to use this lovely Red Fender Jazz bass and Alex was lucky enough to get a go on a Gibson SG! I think it's because he's quite well known in the shop as he is going there for work experience.

Anyhoo we almost lost track of time but did actually make it to the cinema with about 10 mins to spare, only then did i find out that the guy at the desk a few hours ago printed me off a wrong ticket. He booked me in for District 9 while he booked Alex in for Zombieland at the same time, however he managed that one i don't know :P. But i got the ticket changed and everything was fine.

Now, Zombieland being a comedy-horror might not be everyone's cup of tea but it has to be one of the best movies i have seen this year. It is absolutely hilarious, i'm not the biggest gore fan so it was the comedy that kept me most entertained as well as Woodly Harrelson's character, just amazing.

The movie finished about half eight or nine o'clock which means it was the latest i have ever been in town! I go to town maybe once or twice a month but i never usually stay out too late. It wasn't actually until about 10pm that we caught the train home. But the train journey was something that rounded off the day nicely.

The train was pretty quiet so Alex started playing some music on his phone, he started playing Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix and he noticed (i didn't at the time) that the guy across the aisle was quietly drumming away to it......so the song finished and so did the guy.

So, Alex whispers to me that the guy across the way is drumming to our music and puts on Plug in Baby by Muse and what do you know!? He starts drumming to that as well!!!

We started smiling at each other and then we caught the eyes of the guy across the way and just burst out laughing.....we played about half of Muse's album Origin of Symmetry on the train, while i played air-bass,
Alex air-guitared and the guy across the way air-drummed!

A MUSE AIR-JAM ON THE TRAIN!

thankfully it was quiet so we got no stares from people lol

At some point the guy's phone went and he picked it up and said, "you won't believe it, some kids on the train are playing their way through Origin of Symmetry on their phones"
we were laughing so hard and it made it all the better when he said, "right i gotta go - New Born is starting"

(for those who aren't familiar with Muse, New Born and Plug in Baby are both amazing songs, you should check them out;) In fact Muse are awesome all together so just check Muse out lol, and Origin of Symmetry is the best album)

.........

anyway, words just can't describe how good that journey was

we actually hardly spoke throughout but said our goodbyes when we got off, and he complimented our tunes

Alex and i were honestly stunned when we got off the train, we just laughed all the way home.

And if that isn't a good enough rounding off of the day, i just won the Premiership and FA Cup on FIFA 09, beating Chelsea 4-1 in the final!
Ah, good times....

So, to recap:

Went to see Zombieland
Missed it
Bought some cd's and played some guitars
Seen 2nd screening of Zombieland, was amazing
Latest i've ever been in town - 10pm
Met a Muse fan on the train, had an air-jam session :D
Won the League and Cup in FIFA 09


and there ya go,
and incase there wasn't enough awesome and zombie-slaying packed into today : i'm off to watch Shaun of the Dead, lol

Cheers everyone,
Rowan
