twenty years it's breaking you down
the name is vanessa but everybody calls me van. estranged ex-NJCanoeist of 2004/05 K2-500m. I'm a WSO (FIGHTER) trainee and I'm doing my BA(Hons) English and Politics in the University of York. I like fast cars, literature, art and tulips. I cannot cook. When I was younger I wanted to be an astronaut. I am hopeless at math or anything remotely related to formulae. I detest parsley. I love the colour burgundy. My Macbook is my bestfriend and I've played with Macs since I was 15 so no, I didn't jump on the bandwagon. I have lofty dreams but I'm often afraid to chase them. I don't get angry I get disappointed. I intend to learn Spanish and German. Oh, and I think Liverpool kicksmajorass - I am not a fair-weathered fan. I think ambiguity is beautiful.

Lyrics by: The Fray
domingo, septiembre 24, 2006
Today was a very emotional day. OUR last day together before I fly and.. I cried buckets. It didn't help that he dragged his mom down to the florist in the morning to buy me the most GINORMOUS bouquet of flowers and totally surprised me when I went over to his place. TULIPS AND LILIES my two favourite flowers ohmygod..


Sigh darlingyy I know you'll only get to read this like two weeks later but I really appreciate everything these 4 months (and counting). I'm really so overwhelmed everytime I see and smell the flowers.. knowing that I can't look forward to weekends anymore cos you won't be around. Then two weeks later you'll be jetting over to Taiwan.. which really SUCKSBIGTIME sigh. I wanted to take photos today but my eyes were all puffy and red and I just looked a total mess so.. no photos. I'll always remember that last final hug outside your place (with your mom and your maid looking on haha) and it'll always be etched in my mind as I head over there. Really, no words can express. Loveyoulots.

Ah and this song couldn't be more apt, really.

All my bags are packed
I'm ready to go
(EH FAR FROM READY LAR)
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin'
This early mornin'
The taxi's waitin'
He's blowin' his horn -- THIS WAS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TODAY.
Already I'm so lonesome I could cry

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again (DECEMBER)
Oh babe I hate to go

And then there's THIS VERSE:
Every place I go, I think of you
Every song I sing, I sing for you
When I come back
I'll wear your wedding ring


In four years time yes? Being a bit idealistic here.. but oh well :)

Thanks too to IJ 4/3 people for that little farewell lunch yesterday. Appreciate it lots. Love all of you.
