I taste, the pleasure on your lips. You make planets start to spin

Det er mandag igjen, valgte å forlenge sovetiden og skippe dagens forelesninger. Følte ikke at dagens agenda var viktig nok til at jeg måtte dra på forelesningene. Jeg er en av de som omtrent alltids er på forelesninger, og en av grunnene til det er at jeg føler jeg er nødt. Det er nesten en lettelse når forelesninger er obligatoriske, for da har jeg ikke valget. Sannsynligvis ligger det en sammenheng til "flink pike" syndromet. Men jeg vet jeg unødig har vært på mange forelesninger akkurat på grunn av dette. Heldigvis synes jeg at 80% av forelesningene på dette studiet faktisk har nytteverdi. Det har i hvertfall vært slik hittil. Uansett er jeg merkelig nok fornøyd med dagens avgjørelse, spesielt når jeg ser været utenfor. Dessverre har jeg mistet atter en medstudent som jeg vanligvis pleier å jobbe med, men det var nesten litt forventet. Carmila som gjenstår blir antakeligvis, i likhet med meg. Det største sjokket hadde vært om det var hun som sluttet. Skrudde på pc'n, klikket meg inn på Youtube for å se på Olly fra Years & Years danse iført over 80 000 swarovski-krystaller. Jeg har sett på denne videoen ganske mange ganger, og den får meg alltids til å føle meg litt sånn empowered. Å se på videoen føltes ut som den offisielle starten for min mandag, for nå er humøret ganske bra. Gårsdagens treningsøkt var veldig bra, og svetten rant. Det gir naturligvis en god følelse på grunn av endorfinene som utløses, men det gir også god følelse fordi jeg har hatt så dårlig motivasjon før jul, slik at trening nesten var ikke-eksisterende. Så det å komme meg tilbake i et treningsregime, er godt for sjelen min. Resten av dagen skal brukes til å lese forskningsartikkel og pensum. Skal endelig starte å lese den hersens store engelske fagboken. 

I taste the pleasure on your lips. You make planets start to spin

Watching GBBO is a tense affair. Have to admit that my shoulders rise quite a bit. I can't believe it's already been seven weeks of it, though I only started watching it when it was already week four? Maybe week three. After the first episode I had a clear favourite, not necessarily to win the competition, but just because of his persona. And after a bit of a Tumblr-search, I've gathered that I'm not the only one who adores Selasi. This Buzzfeed article certainly points out a few of the reasons why he's so likable. I'm also very fond of Andrew-- he was an instant favourite because of his Irish roots. I just can't help it! This week I finally thought it was the end of Selasi's journey, and it was a close call, but he's still in the competition. To be fair, at the moment everyone is pretty much a favourite. Don't really want anyone to get sent home. Ugh, now I have to wait another week for a new episode? This is why I don't watch television. My plans today was originally to go watch Bridget Jones. A few nights ago I watched the music video for Meteorite by Years & Years, and it's just fecking gorgeous. I have a thing for Olly dancing around, especially in a Swarovski-encrusted culotte-style catsuit. I think it's just because he's such a character in their music videos, the most recent ones anyway. In an interview with Elle, he said (about the music video): "I imagined myself as a wanton sex goddess, with a very bad man between my thighs". It makes for great imagery, and I couldn't not want to dance along to the song. There's just a thing about Years & Years-- more often than not their songs makes me want to move. So I went to download the song on iTunes, and I saw it's a part of the soundtrack to Bridget Jones. I'd mostly forgotten about the movie after the whole disaster with Marble trying to watch the movie at the cinema. But being reminded because of the song made me want to go watch it today. And I was going to, however, I would be too late for the screening I wanted to watch, and the later one was already almost sold out. So instead of going today, I purchased a ticket for Saturday. Regardless, I've been dancing to Meteorite each night before bed since I've heard the song. Since I didn't go to the cinema, I went to the shops instead to get a few essentials. Wore a scarf for the first time in ages, and it felt really nice to walk out in the crisp weather. The woman in one of the shop complimented my perfume, and when she asked which perfume I wore, my mind went blank. It's like, the only perfume I've been wearing for ages now. Should know it, but I did say it's Chloè. Anyhow, I just thought that was really nice to get a compliment like that, and it reminded me of the power of a strangers compliment. The other week or so, I saw a woman dressed like a (my) dream, and I really wanted to compliment her. Only, she was a few too many metres from me for me to feel comfortable to shout "hey, loving your outfit". Tomorrow I'm seeing Oyster, Maggie and the little babe. Last time we all hung out together was an impromptu visit on my side, as I was walking home the day after a night on the town with Marble and Ale. And that was months ago. So it'll be really nice to see the little babe-- also I've been a tiny bit broody. 

when I saw you on that stage, I shiver with the look you gave

Been playing around with my glitter pens as you can see. They were gifted to me, mostly as a joke I think. They're One Direction glittery pens, and prior to a few days ago, I had not used them despite having them for what feels like years. But I've been using them when editing my thesis, and yesterday I decided to have a break to do some drawing. I'm obsessed now, everything just looks really nice when it's glittery, I think. I listened to Fearne Cotton's last show yesterday, and it's so strange to me, how BBC Radio 1 seems to be having this huge remake or summat. Everybody's changing and I don't feel right. It was really good though, some tears, and very lovely messages from a lot of different artists. Coldplay and Tom Odell wrote songs for her, others covered songs for her. It was lovely. I also realised that Olly, lead singer of Years & Years is dating Neil from Clean Bandit. It was coz Olly had posted a picture of them urging the Irish to vote yes to the marriage referendum (basically voting yes for all genders to be allowed to marry each other). I totally ship them, they seem so cute together, ah. It seems like Ireland is saying yes, so that's really great. I mean, people travelled home from loads of places just to vote, which I thought was so incredibly awesome. I decided to sleep in today. It's the first time in weeks I've not had an alarm on, and my dad came barging in around 9 am. Said: "we're going to the store". Usually I think I'd decline, but instead I groggily rolled out of bed and got dressed in record time. My sister drove us, which was slightly strange. It doesn't matter if she's gotten her license, my dad's still very much "do this, don't do that". I imagine it'll last forever (not). I've not sat in a car for what seems like ages, so it's always a bit strange. Also, I've not joined in on a family shopping day for ages either, and we went to a grocery store I'm not completely familiar with. Whilst my dad was looking at a coffee machine, I went to find what I wanted, and my sister went her own way. It's Eurovision tonight, so we're going to make food and snacks for it, I think. I'm excited! But for now I have to do some editing on my thesis, then I might go outside to enjoy the sun for a bit. Lols, looking at what I've written now, all of the artists I mention are British. Is it hard to guess what I favour? Good weekend.
