Another Quick One

OK - So I lied. :)

I obviously didn't get round to writing that update last weekend. All I remember for the whole of the past few weeks is work, work, work. Struggling to catch up on sleep, and spending weekends out or slumped in front of the telly (Lots of great old films being shown at the mo - Karate Kid is fab!)

Sometimes I wonder what the hell I've gotten myself into. This male-dominated world of engineering, I feel so out of my depth at times. People's expectations may falter, but that of my own never ceases.

The remedy?

A spot of shopping at Selfridges always cures. =)

Trotted out of a week-long meeting at the end of Friday, blindly walked the 5-minute distance into "my favourite place in the world", and THREE hours later, I finally left for home with over ten new cosmetic items.

Definitely therapeutic!

Hello?

Today a friend asked me why I stopped blogging - and in that second I remembered "Oh shit, I have a blog!"
-____-

Typed www.zoeydee.blogspot.com into my browser; it felt strangely liberating and nostalgic to be going through things that I've written previously.

I hate to say this...but I think I'm back to writing here. :)

(Hate to say it because knowing me, I'll be all gung-ho for several months then become donkey-lazy after :P)

To those still reading, I'll write an update this weekend. Although I'll have to warn you, it's nothing amazing/happening. At all. :/

Gimme A Minute

..am currently doing up a new blog!


I know I know, I should learn to stick to one domain for longer than 2 years, but I think this site has over-run its time.

:)

back for good?

I miss blogging. =(

The 8-hour bender

Hmm. I think I'm getting quite far behind with picture-posting. :P

So here's several recent ones!


On wednesday this week, some mates and I got into an 8-hour drinking sesh, spread out over two pubs and a bar. ;)

Pre-Christmas celebration, so mid-week drinking is forgiven!



















It wasn't too bad, 'cause everyone managed to get into work fine the next day, albeit I was very sleepy and hungry!

Loads of people took to having Guinness for dinner! -____-


Tanima nicked my camera early on, and I didn't see it until I was leaving later at night, and in between that time there was a mild panic when nobody knew where they had chucked my camera to! :/

In the end, we found it in some guy's pocket and I looked at my camera only to find many silly random shots of our happy tipsy friends. ;)

And the only picture with me properly in it turned out to be super ugly and blurry...
=(



With Tanima and Catariya.



:)


Fave picture of the night! 'Cause Vine looks cheshire-cat-happy here with Aisling and Camille. :)



Talk to the hand, haha!



Oh there's a picture of me, finally! :)
Clutching my gin and tonic and I believe, having a heated disagreement with James about Daniel Craig. -__-


If you don't know already, I can't stand Daniel Craig.



Ronke. Ross. Christine (I think). Anton. Tanima.



Lisa. Nick. Cata. Shaun. and some bobbing heads.








And after all the alcohol the day before, I still went out for more drinks after work on Thursday with another bunch of people.

The result of all this is that I haven't been having proper meals at all!

I ended up spending Friday morning in the office with a very empty and irritable tummy. :(

Perspective

Sometimes I struggle with defining who I am as a person. I know some people in this world suffer with bipolar disorder, but in my case I think I've got multipolar disorder. One minute I am person A and the next I am B, in one day I think I can be more than several different personas, and sometimes these personas come on together.

Does that make me a confused 21year-old girl?

It's difficult for me to understand who I am and where I am going in this world or life. I don't see how people can get me when often even I don't get myself.

I immerse myself in happy things to block away these confusions I get. And ever since I started working it's been hard to find the chance to sliver away unnoticed and just be with my thoughts. I think people at work probably view me as a happy kid, because that's the energy I tend to channel everyday.

It's not that I'm unhappy or angry or anxious or pissed. I think I'm just sometimes a very confused person, confused about how to behave or how to think. When I'm warped up with this feeling I sometimes even forget how to walk or how to get up from my chair. Simple things like that.

I think mostly I'm confused about my own confusion.

If that makes any sense.

Quickie

I've just been reminded by some that my blog has been idle for two weeks.

Whoops. ;)


Been busy busy, but very much alive and bouncing, and dare I say it, enjoying working life. :)
























This being my first job ever, I am still very keen and excited and eager to learn. Which isn't a bad thing!

Ask me again in 6 months, and I might change my mind then. :P


Also, I have to say, I am never moving out of London! :D

Couple of months back, I was dreading moving here. The city is too hectic and the tubes are horrid and the people are madness.

But NOW.

Now I love it! ;)
I love the busy city life and the people and everyone seems to have tons of energy all day long!
Loads of places to go restaurants to try bars to drink at and clubs to go hopping from!

:)


When I say I've been busy the past couple of weeks, it's not work that's been keeping me busy, heh. =)

I've been going out practically every other night and at weekends sitting down is quite impossible.

It's beginning to hit me that almost everyone is moving to, or are based in, London these days, so there's always people to meet up with and old friends to see. :)

Ok got to run now will update soon-ish! :)
