Booze, Bed and... something else beginning with B.

I've been feeling rather lovely since Friday. No particular reason, just a general acceptance of things, and excitement about those forthcoming. This loveliness seems to have been having some effect though. I went out on Friday night for Helen and Sean's stag/hen night and was accosted by someone claiming to be Jarvis Cocker's little brother (I didn't let him near me) and then almost snogged by a GIRL. Whilst have I have kissed a couple of girls in the past, they've been people I know well, not acquaintances who were visibly making a move on me. I declined her advances, as I do not wish to get involved with anyone at the moment. Much happier by myself. Good to know I'm attractive to both sexes though, there's more choice. However, not so good when their boyfriend is in the same nightclub.

I went to an open day at the very expensive private Japanese school near us today, and took Mum and Dad with me, trying to initiate them into Japanese culture. I had my name written in Kanji, though the very cute Japanese girl (in Japanese school-girl uniform - short skirt, long socks and giggles) couldn't tell me what it translated as. Will take it to school tomorrow and see if anyone can help.

Many many things going round in my head at the moment: Japan (I fly out on November 5th), writing (which is knocking loudly at my skull to get out now, makes a change), but most importantly, being the happiest I've felt for a long time, especially since Gid and I split up. There is a lot of synchronicity in my life at the moment, and I hope it can only be a good thing.
