Cause I see you lying next to me

shadowhiveSo I’ve been here since Saturday so I figure it’s time to make a post.
On Friday I found my pod thing (it was sneaky by the mcr coffins), packed my switch (after doing the Pokemon Tetris) and finished my no tags fic. Of course after waiting for months it’s the day before I leave that Stardew gets updated. Ugh. I did a few days on it, so I’m ready to go on the night market... sometime. I got to past level 100 in the mine though,
So I woke up at half 6 on Saturday which, for me is usually an ungodly hour. Of course as soon as I’m down with a bowl of crunchy nut corn flakes mum decides that’s the time to look over the notes I left her and ask questions. Seriously mum? Also I had to fend off Naryu trying to nom my food, so yeah, I had to go over a few things with her, but damnit I’d left her those notes days beforehand.
Going to the station was easy enough even though it was chilly and slightly icy. Though of course, as soon as I’m on the train I look down and see my Zelda bag strap is going again. Thank fuck I didn’t pack Black spire. I switched what I could around, but ugh. So annoying. The train was quiet and I listened to three cheers and read some of my little Star Wars book (the how not to get eaten by ewoks one) and Ihad to resist the urge of getting off at the main Birmingham stop like I usually do.
Wi-fi managed to behave so I could post no tags and all the fics went live yesterday. They are here check them out! I’ve only read the one for mine so far but hope to check out more. I bet mine is obvious, if anyone wants to guess.
Now mum said ‘don’t meet her at the airport, it’s too big you’ll get lost’ which turned out to be so wrong. Getting there was straightforward and, well, easy. I stopped at the smiths there and found last weeks kerrang with fob, so I got both copies (one for me so I have the posters and one for our friend who missed out). I sat down, not thinking Heather would be out yet, but when I checked discord she was and had managed to sneak up on me 🖤 and then off course as I get up the strap goes, ugh.
We managed to get to the hotel ok and talking turned out to be... easy. I was worried about that cause I’m usually shy, especially with new people (well she’s not new really but you know). We got to the hotel after having trouble finding the entrance and it’s pretty nice, though the Christmas tree is up so, ugh. They managed to check us in and the room is pretty nice, although the tv is awkward (is has free view but it clearly hasn’t been updated in awhile and it doesn’t want to show the horror channel for some reason, what?). I’d have been ok staying in the room, only going out to fetch supplies, but Heather felt up for a wander so that’s what we did.
I showed her around the main places, like the German market and forbidden planet and the bullring. It was pretty busy though and I’d forgotten it was actually Saturday (so had she though, she’s still working on the time difference and everything). Forbidden Planet has all the new Star Wars figures, even the C-3PO which just came out so I might get one (but also, maybe comic con will have them cheaper?). They didn’t have collapse though so I’ll have to get it online most likely. I hoped to get the new Star Wars bag from Disney to hold my Zelda bag but I couldn’t see it and it was too busy so...
Anyway, after wandering we got supplies from Tesco and Sainsburys and came back to the hotel. We just had nibbles really which was fine by by me. Heather had a little doze as we watched tv and then I did too for a bit, missing most of strictly but ah well.
Night time sleep didn’t seem to come easy to me I kept waking up. Weather it’s due to a strange bed or not sleeping alone I dunno. I listened to a few magnus archives just after Heather went zzz though.
So Sunday morning was spent snuggled and lazy for a bit which was fine by me. We did decide to go out and after being a bit indecisive (I’m so used to just going somewhere cheap and simple) we went to look at the places by the station. We ended up going in a Lebanese place and it was pretty nice. I had halloumi and some wraps, and there was some nice pickle things. We talked and it was, well, nice.
After that we went round the museum though I got a bit mixed up due to the market being there. We saw the Staffordshire hoard and all the ancient stuff so that was nice. After that we went in a few more places, including the other forbidden planet and new hmv (which is so big but has no funkos oddly) before heading to the hotel and watching stuff.
I thought the tv had a built in DVD player when I was looking through the settings (it had a disc option come up!) so I thought we could put one on after his dark materials but... nope. So we just watched random tv instead until Heather went tired.
Sleep last night was a little better? Though my head decided to be a bitch and I need to get more meltlets today. Also it’s 6am and I’m awake, wtf? Damnit body I hope it behaves soon.
Today we’ve gonna go to the sea life centre and see all the fish and otters and stuff, especially since I have a voucher thing for it and we have to do a supply run too. But other than? Not much till Wednesday and the trip to Leeds. (I’m gonna take my pad today and take a load of pics so expect them up later on insta or Twitter)
It still feels so surreal though. I keep looking at her and smiling and not quite belting and, you know, she’s actually here with me. I don’t think I’ll get used to that.
Anyway. I’m gonna go now and... I dunno.
