Yesterday was of course valentines day, supposedly the most romantic day of the year and of course I had someone to spend it with again this year. This is the third valentines day me and Luke have been together for, but this time we managed to sort out the entire day by ourselves, with no-one giving us lifts, we booked the resteraunt ourselves and got home when we wanted to. He took me to "Zucchini's" Resteraunt which is near my lecture hall, where they serve GLUTEN-FREE PASTA!! Even more romantic than usual because the meal I had was the first pasta meal I have had in a Resteraunt for over 2 years. It was wonderful, and probably would have been even better had I not ordered the pasta dish with chillis as the main ingredients for the sauce. It really was rather hot, but not too bad so I survived without setting fire to my hair or steaming up the glasses on the lady sat next door to me. However, half way through the meal I was becoming very hot in the face so I ordered a Bailies on the rocks as it contains milk (even in small quantities) and everything was fine. After the meal we walked down to the Odeon cinema together to watch "Percy Jackson and the lightening thief". Luke had said I could choose the film that we went to see and I think he was expecting to be forced to sit and watch "Valentines day", but when we got there I think we were both relieved I'd gone with the more masculine choice, the cinema was packed! There was at least a half hours queue to get into Valentines day which promised chick-flicky, gooey style romance over the mythical fantastical-ness of the Lightening Thief. The graphics were breath-taking as per usual, the story line was just fantastical enough to be weird, but understandable enough to be realistic, it was fantastic! I highly reccommend it. After the film we came back to my flat and sat up listening to the entertaining sound of my flatmates on either side of my room shouting obscenities between each other in voices that could almost pass for juvenile-come-puberty age. Good times.
Anyway, before my valentines day treat, my parents came to visit me. We watched "Shellshock" together, (Starring me, in case you don't read any of my other blogs) and they were really quite impressed. They said that my acting wasn't as plastic as I thought (But I still don't believe

6 HOURS LATER
2:03am
Sorry about that, I got a phone call from a friend called Jenny saying she wanted to go to kareoke at the Mezz Bar (the one right by where I live) and I've not seen her in ages so thought I would meet up. I ended up singing "Big black horse and a cherry tree" by KT Turnstall and "Fields of Gold" by Eva Cassidy. I gotta say, KT Turnstall was cringingly bad, but Eva Cassidy was pretty good and I got a massive cheer at the end. It was really quite a good night.
I'm sorry, I was going to make this a really long heartfelt blog, but thanks to the night I just had I need to finish packing for San Fransisco and get some sleep before tomorrow, it's going to be a big day full of lecture and all sorts, so I gotta sign out. I'll write again the SECOND I get near a computer with internet access, needless to say my laptop will not be joining me on the other side of the pond xxx
