Looking forward

I went in search for my passport today just to make sure that I still have it considering that it's been untouched since I came into the country and can you believe that I've already been living in Manchester for almost two months? Time flies really quickly when you're not doing anything productive and I feel like such a bum. Just at the end of last month, Dave pointed out to me that we'd already been going out for four months - granted two of which I wasn't here but four nonetheless. And I don't even notice the days go by anymore. The worst part is that I can't remember what in the last two months I've done that's been interesting enough to take note of. No doubt, the trips to London and Cardiff are there but put together that's less than a week and a half!

It's been hard for Dave as well. He hates watching me go through it, hates what it's doing to me - the inactivity and the lack of direction. Bless him, he really does try to come up with new ideas to cheer me up. Yesterday's was by far the best when he brought out the pillows from the bedroom and said rather solemnly: choose your weapon! What could I do except laugh and laugh some more? Silly boy. :D So adorable though.

In spite of it all - my frustration, my aggravation - I will be escaping soon enough. By Christmas eve I'll be exploring the streets of Venice from top to bottom. I was so excited that I even bought a guide book for the city... so geeky! Don't worry, it made me cringe too. :P Nonetheless, Lea the tourist is about to strike out. Thank goddess for planes. I think I'd have withered away by now if I didn't have something like the Venice trip to hold on to.

On my last note, I just have to comment about Gaz getting punched by a tramp... Why? He's a tramp. You should have known better than to get so close to him in the first place! :P Gave me a good giggle though. :)
