London trip

So I got up this Wednesday morning, getting to work and a bit anxious about the whole London trip. Not really knowing what to expect, which always gives me a feeling of wanting to just stay at home. But at the same time excitement as well.
Then tonight I got back home and didn't want to return home at all. Because of course I had a fantastic time there. I got so used to talking English all the time (instead of just having English conversations in my head) and am still quite upset about the fact I have to talk Dutch again. Lol. But yeah...English is a much 'softer' language and even though I don't speak it fluently, I love to speak that language.

Anyway...the London trip was amazing! I'm extremely tired right now and typing this entry is a pain cause I make loads of typos, grrr...Seeing Tori in concert was amazing, especially the first night. She played so many songs that night that I love. Especially Icicle and Carbon. Icicle was just the best and Carbon made me cry intensely.
Also met Tori and managed to actually have a conversation with her! Progress! Had my pic taken (finally!) which is just a bit crappy though, sadly. Also took loads of pictures during the show and M&G, and they turned out lovely! So happy about that!

(no subject)

So I've managed to get a good night of sleep. Had a lazy hazy day today and felt a bit crappy due to a sore throat. And also just needed my time to adjust from the last couple of days. They were wonderful days. Made me realize how lucky I am to know some amazing people outside of my country. And how lucky I was to spent a few days in their presence. The kind of people that make you feel so loved and cared for. You're being accepted for who you are. No pressure. No expectations. I really enjoyed that.

The Tori shows, of course, were fantastic as well. Being able to see her from up close was fantastic, though wouldn't mind to sit a bit further back. I just couldn't get over her performance, especially during the first night. One Eskimo was the support act and while I did enjoy them, the moment Tori sets foot on the stage, something changes. She really fills the concert hall with her presence. Same for the M&G that took place the other day. It was outside, but that woman has got such a massive, overwhelming aura surrounding her, you simply can't look past that.
I showed my mom and dad my pictures last night and my mom told me she thought Tori looked fake with the botox and all. And yes, in a way there is something 'funny' about her expression these days and you can tell it's not all natural anymore. But you can't botox your inner self, or your aura or what have you. And I swear to god there's still something so very sincere about that. And no, I'm not trying to sound like yet another freak fan who idolizes an artist. Although I can totally understand why I might actually sound like one.

The second night of the show was wonderful as well, though I didn't get into it as much as the night before. Now a lack of sleep often makes me overwhelmed and at one point I can't take in anything anymore, so that might be why.

And now back to reality again tomorrow. Back to work, sadly. Should really be heading to bed now, but alas can't be motivated.
