arrggggghhhh trains!!!!!------blah. i used to love trains, not after yesterday. i know the weather was horrible yesterday, very horrible. well, on my way to visit my friends in Brighton yesterday the train was delayed, then the train hit a tree!!---we had to stop while the driver checked the train was alright, then stopped at Lewes, and had to get off at Lewes and wait for another train to get to Brighton...which was only one stop away! plus got super wet! and even more late! i felt super bad as one of my friends had come to the station to pick me up, and she waited for ages for me to get in! anyway, once i finally got there, it was lovely to see Mandy and Claire and their super happy faces. we did quite abit, went shopping down the lanes, had the most AMAZING burger in this awesome restaurant, went for hot chocolate, talked about good times, bad times, and up coming adventures, had pancakes, walked in the rain and super strong wind, it was great. just what i needed. so then, had to get the train home, which was also delayed...and took forever. you know when you are kinda in your own world on the train, listening to music, and writing/drawing in your journal, and after a while you look up and see that there is NO ONE AROUND AT ALL, you feel as if you are on your own on the train, alone, with the ticket guy coming around all the time trying to have a conversation with you because you are the only person in the carriage...yeah..thats creepy. well, before i was alone, there was such a super cute hot guy on the train, awesome beard, great giant hair, cute glasses, cute backpack, great trainers, make your knees-weak smile..yes, he did smile at me alot, which was rather nice...maybe he thought i was weird drawing in my journal...because the guy sitting opposite me did. although, i could smell alcohol on his breath, and thought he was gonna be sick on me at every bump the train went over.

train journeys always make me think, normally because i am on them on my own. i just need to get on with stuff, forget certain things and go with the flow. oh yeah, my 'find of the day' was 'eggnog bubblegum'...that screams awesome right?

nicola is off to catch her train

i am just off to catch my train to brighton. this weekend i am going to visit my friend claire for her birthday. my other friend laura is going aswell. i cannot wait for an awesome weekend. lots of laughs hopefully, and plus we are going to a comedy club on saturday night! i have my ipod ready and a book...so hopefully the journey wont be too bad.

hang on, i am on my hamburger phone....

ah its cold outside..Christmas is coming. i wish for snow! it would be lovely if it would snow on Christmas day. its sad fact that i cannot remember seeing it snow on Christmas day...it snowed when i was rather little, but i cannot remember that. i want a snowy Xmas.today was ever so fun filled, after starting very early this morning at work, i was finished by 1, and took a train to London to meet some of my friends from uni. it was amazing to see them. we went for dinner which was lovely. i didn't want the time to end, but in the end i had to say goodbye. i miss living with my friends, i had kinda forgot about it, but its all i can think about now. my trip was even extra special, as i found a hamburger phone! eek! i have wanted one for such a long time, i am over the moon at the moment.

just a quick note;----thank you ever so much for reading my blog. i am in need of some time so i can sit and surf your amazing blogs. you are all fab! i have made some great friends because of this blog, thank you so much for reading it. love you all.

my trip to Newcastle with my friend Kay can just be summed up in these pictures.
....as you can tell, i had an amazing time. i heart my friend Kay. fun was had, ah it was so nice to catch up, i miss her.ps, in other news, i am meeting someone for coffee tomorrow...eek! :)

shes got a ticket to ride...

just a tiny post before i head off to catch my train back to uni. ah its so weird thinking this will be the last time i go up there before i finish. but i do have company on my train journey and lots of heavy bags!! its my birthday this time next week..so i have had to take my presents with me!! oh cute story, as i was writing this post in my computer/study room at home, i saw these tiny tiny bears which my lovely nan got me when we all went on holiday when i was younger. it has made me smile. :)

..rain and fun

yesterday me and my little sis went to a cute place called Canterbury on the train...it didn't take long to get there..although it rained and rained and rained..and would not stop!! where has the sun gone?? it was really nice to just hang out with my sister as i don't see her much. i had a little money left over off my holiday which was good as i am not back to work yet, but looking forward to going back next week! yay. i went to the comic book shop to pic up my comics that i had been waiting a long time for...when i get there they only have one of them..so i was kinda sad, but one is better than none. i also had to pic some of my dads up for him.after that we went into topshop and i found some really nice jewellery that was on sale..so i didn't feel too bad about buying them...although i do not really need anymore jewellery..but its my downfall!! i got a really nice pair of heart/fabric earrings, and a fab long necklace with bits and pieces on.we then went for lunch which was really nice. afterwards we nipped into HMV, and they had a sale on...hmm i ended up buying a Superbad, and Flight of the Conchords posters..which are fab! i shouldn't have brought them..but i could not help myself!!
in the evening i went to see the mist with friends. we were in the smallest screen..which smelled. i saw a new trailer for a new movie in which Jamie bell stars..it looks good and so does he!! ...hmm not really sure what i thought of the whole movie..but the ended was so heartbreaking.

on the way back home

ah so i packed up my uni room and left for summer. i felt really sad leaving my friends behind, but also felt happy as i was to see my old friends at home. so it was Saturday morning, i was in a bit oh a rush to get ready. i hugged my friends goodbye..i came 4th this year in big brother..(the last one in the flat is the winner) i came second last year, and then was out the door.

got my train with time to spare..and then the train left...bye bye Nottingham, home of the great Robin Hood. the train i was on was a fast one, so the time went really fast. and then i was in London. by this point i could not wait to get home and see my family and friends. then catch the London train to Kent. i read a really cool graphic novel that i picked up the other day, its worth a read. its called the plain janes by Cecil Castellucci and Jim Rugg. Its about 4 girls called Jane and how they want to get art into their town.

ah while on the train home i was listening to my new fave Coconut Records...

"Don’t talk to me that way, Don’t talk to me that way, I don’t ever want to hear you say, Anything, Cause you’ve been nighttiming baby, It’s starting to show, Cause you’ve been nighttiming baby, It’s out of control, Yeah you’ve been nighttiming baby, And you ought to get home, Yeah you’ve been nighttiming baby, Uh huh." oh i love it so much! i must find a way to get the cd!

then i was home...from the dullness of London to the bright greenness of Kent..i knew i was home.

i was going out for drinks to catch up with friends when i got back. and it was so much fun, and i really felt happy that i was home.
