Just like the rhyme says...
"Remember, remember, the fifth of November..."

Of course, I completely forgot and then wondered why all these fireworks were going off around my house. I thought "Crikey, it's as if it was Bonfire Night."

And of course, it is Bonfire Night. The day where we celebrate Parliament not quite being blown up by blowing things up. Surely a more appropriate way would be to buy a whole load of fireworks, go to light them and then get stopped at the last minute?

Still, the ones I can see are fairly average in terms of their quality- mostly red, gree or white, explode into coloured flaming bits in the air. It's only a small village, so it's not as if many people can buy the huge, really pretty ones. I love the blues, and ones that dance about in the air. The bog-standard fireworks are rather dull- I can see things just as nice after completing a game of Solitare on the computer.

But meh, it's a tradition. It seems to have been rather low-key this year- normally there are warnings about fireworks and safety adverts all over the place, but I've not seen any today. It's no wonder you couldn't tell it was fireworks night. Maybe the new Simpsons episodes premiering on Channel 4 tonight are the reaosn nobody's particularly bothered with it, heh.

I Do, He Did
Two friends of mine from last year's course are engaged to be married ^_^ I'm incredibly happy for them, heh. They made such a great couple I was really surprised they didn't get together sooner. Now they have, I feel justice has been served. They're having an engagement party soon- I can't wait to see them again.

I hope I've not told too many people ^_^; I thought their friends back here would want to know. I hope it's not against their wishes...

Anyway, the whole thing does get me thinking, though (and Kei and I were talking about this last night, when I first heard the news). Marriage is such a huge step forward in a relationship. Although I'm seeing more andmore of my friends getting engaged, the thought still scares me quite considerably.

I'm not sure I really want to et into it now, though. I'm incredibly tired (which is why the post probably sounds so subdued in places, heh). I got a phonecall from Lawrence at midnight last night, telling me that he was coming towards Southampton Central Train Station but probably wouldn't be able to get back to Chichester to get home. So, would I be able to pick him up so he could stay here?

I said yes, but Dad was just getting ready for bed. So I hauled him out and we went to pick him up. he was very grateful, but I didn't get to sleep until about 3am (well, we did watch Men In Black II, which set us back an hour and a half ^_^;), and I had to get up at half seven this morning... ugh. At least my singing lesson went well, despite the fact that I had no music and I was supposed to bring some...

My shoulder hurts now, and my stomach keeps randomly constricting in a sharp muscular pain. That can't be a good thing ^_^;

I think I'll take it easy tonight, heh.

Bryan Adams- Cloud Number Nine
Clue number one was when you knocked on my door
Clue number two was the look that you wore
N' that's when I knew, it was a pretty good sign
That something was wrong up on cloud number nine

Well it's a long way up and we won't come down tonight
Well it may be wrong but baby it sure feels right

And the moon is out and the stars are bright
And whatever comes s'gonna be alright
Cause tonight you will be mine - up on cloud number nine
And there ain't no place that I'd rather be
And we can't go back but you're here with me
Yeah, the weather is really fine - up on cloud number nine

Now he hurt you and you hurt me
And that wasn't the way it was supposed to be
So baby tonight let's leave the world behind
And spend some time up on cloud number nine

Well it's a long way up and we won't come down tonight
Well it may be wrong but baby it sure feels right

Well we won't come down tonight
Ya we won't come down tonight
No we won't come down tonight

We can watch the world go by - up on cloud number nine


I love this song. The orchestration's great, and I like Bryan Adams' voice ^_^ I know not everyone likes him, but I do. It's the only song of his I actually have >.>
