The Happy Kiwi

Hello~
Well... last week, was MY 19th BIRTHDAY!! And I just want to say before anything else, thank you to everyone for my birthday wishes :) They made my day (especially Nadia's video :3 hehe).. ARIGATOU GOZIMASU~!! *bows*

Well I actually had an adventure last week and I should start at the beginning on the tuesday before my birthday... It was a cold night in the late hours of october 5th... lol, jokes, after work :'( I ran home, had a shower, got dressed and then had my pizza (I ordered domino's at work ;D) and the pizza man asked for my number and I was like... ahh..sorry... *cue awkward silence*.. then I hopped in a taxi to Watford. Why was I going to Watford you say? Well, I had to go up to Scotland for my Gran's funeral, but the only time I could get off work was my birthday (which I'd pre booked) and the actual day of the funeral, wednesday. All the flights I looked at were either too early taking off on the tuesday night because I still had to work till 10pm, or too late in the morning of wednesday.. so, I had to get the train! Woohoo!

I actually got to the station waayy too early and sat in the cold, dark rainy station for almost hour..on my own.. listening to really strange music on my phone...

But the train came in the end and this nice guy came up and helped me get on the right carriage because the train was, I'm not even kidding, like 1000 miles long.. Anyway, I hopped on and met this other guy who looked at my tickets, scribbled on them (I never get why they do that with train tickets??) and then was like your rooms down there... thanks, strange man... The funny thing was the hallways were literally the size of a suitcase width ways. So there was like a foot space in which I had to lug my huge suitcase and myself down, before I could find my cabin :'(

It was actually a lot smaller than I thought, but hey, it's a bed on a train and I got first class so I didn't have to share :3

I couldn't sleep at all, even though the pillows were so squishy and the bed was warm and comfy, the train made these horrible sounds that made it sound like it was falling apart. And every time the train went round a corner you'd kinda fall that way, so I kept banging my head and feet :/

I got up at 6:00 and got changed, ate my complimentary breakfast (haha it's not called first class for nothing!)
and then hopped of the train in cold, dark and dingy Glasgow :3 It was soo strange when I first got there because everyone was speaking scottishly and I was like 'waahh! wth!!' .. and then I remembered I was in Scotland... *facepalm*

Anyway, the next day was MY BIRTHDAY!! But it didn't really feel like one because I didn't get any presents or even a cake (which I really wanted most out of everything :'( ) .. but we went out to tgi friday's in glasgow and met up with my uncle jim and antie alison (my mum's brother and my godmother) and had a lovely meal :) Then, my mum and I went around the shops for a bit and we went in to this huuugge bank to change our scottish money to english stuff because.. well, it was a good idea at the time.

It was a really huge place, and looked really cool inside. It kinda looked like Mr Darcy used to live here or something, so I was happy... :3 kekeke

 

  And then we went shopping again with our english money and I got some clothes... and while I was waiting for my mum I sat on this bench..next to a HUGE pigeon! I talked to him for a while and I think people thought I was crazy, but he gave me his number (joke!) and I promised to come looking for him next time I'm in Scotland ;3 His name was George by the way <3 I think I fell in love with him, he was actually so fat and cute :D

George <3

After that we went home and pretty much had a normal day :/
Definitely the strangest birthday ever!!

My birthday bear :D

Ciao for now~
