God, I love Bob Marley

So, it's July. Gawd, summer is going super fast. I can't believe I just missed another year of Benicassim. Unbelievable. I really have to make it next year. Actually plan my summer and book the ticket.
That isn't to say I'm not having a good time, it's just Beni is something I've wanted to do for aaaaaaaages, and I want to go while I'm still a relatively carefree student.
That being said, I'm not sure how I've actually been spending my time. Time sort of seems like it's evaporated away.
I've spent most days with two friends called J and J. They live really close, so when I'm tossing and turning at 3am they're easy to visit. Sometimes we watch movies, or go out dancing, but mostly we drive around and find beautiful spots and sit and smoke as the black sky gives way to dawn. It doesn't sound much but it really is lovely. And of course I've been catching up with everyone else, and trying to arrange to see my uni friends. Though that never seems to go brilliantly because everyone's so tied up.
Actually, it's been quite strange to see one of the Js. We used to be very good friends, and er.. a bit more than friends. But it wasn't good for either of us. We sort of... aggravated each others' problems and emotions and things. And in the end we just ended up not seeing each other. Whenever we met, we'd awkwardly look away. It wasn't great at all. But at the party of a mutual friend, we chatted a little, and while we were both at uni we spoke infrequently. Now we're home and it's been really nice to have someone so nearby who I just get on with so well. It's so familiar and easy. It makes me think how stupid I was to ever ruin such a relationship with a physical side. It just isn't worth it in alot of cases.
The weather's been a bit rubbish, so I haven't been camping as much as I'd like, and I've only been to the beach once :( But I'm hopeful. All it takes it one nice day!
Anyway, I'm suuuuuuuure the weather will be lovely in Greece. Me and my friend (one of the Js) just booked a holiday in Kefalonia at the end of August which should be alot of fun. I can't wait to see it, because I loved reading Captain Correli's Mandolin, and even though I didn't hear great things about the film, the scenery received nothing but praise.

Something amazing happened. My macbook got repaired! I was so so pleased. It was being a dick for a little while, but then it finally packed in and the harddrive imploded. I hate being without it when it's being fixed, but then it always works like it's brand new again, and it's lovely :) I'm shopping for a new bag for it so I can look after it a bit better in future. I quite like this one. It's quite dinky. Maybe not the pink though.
I'd better get back to work anyway. Hopefully we're going to go to the Lake District this evening and find some Stonehenge-esque circles and dance with hippies :)
