It's been my first full day without Mena today, and I still don't think it's sunk in that she hasn't been around. It probably will over the weekend, when she's not there to speak to when I wake up, but until then, I might be alright.

I must admit, this morning I was annoyed a little. I asked Mena to text me when she got off the plane, and she said she would. I asked her again the last time I spoke to her, which was around 20 minutes before she boarded, and again she said she would. The next text I get, she's sat beside a pool relaxing. So...where's the message I'm meant to get when she gets off the plane? It's all fine now, because at least I know she got there OK. No harm done

I'm also feeling a little jealous now. Yesterday I wanted to be there with her, today I really want to be there with her. She sent me a message telling me that they were going to a beach party, and later on I got another one saying that she'd been dancing in front of a group of people and that they'd got a video taken, so she'd be able to send me it. That's cool and everything, and I can't wait to see it, but I kinda wish I was there in person to have seen it. I've never seen Mena dance, and it feels like I've missed out on something. I'm sure I'm gonna get that feeling a lot over the next two weeks, so it's probably best to get it out of my system as early as possible.

Jesus, it must sound like I'm in a bad mood today, but I'm not. I can't quite say my day's been as eventful as Mena's must've been, but it's still been a pretty good one. Apart from a few packs of sweets, I'm now in possession of all of Mena's birthday presents, so I can now look at getting some wrapping paper and cracking on with getting that done. I'm probably going to do it next week, though, as I'd really just like to relax over the weekend. Not gonna happen, what with having a driving lesson Saturday afternoon, but still, I can hope Through some sort of miracle, I also received two items which I wasn't particularly expecting until tomorrow, namely Coldplay's new album (Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends), and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Limited Edition, which I'll say now is well worth the £80 I spent on it. I'll take some photos tomorrow and post them, because if you try looking for pictures of it on the Net I doubt you'll find any. I shan't talk too much about it though, because I wanna keep spoilers to a minimum, and you're best off finding things out when you play it. Which, if you own a PS3, you should. But play the first three first if you haven't already, yeah?

Moving on, and there's just one thing that amazes me about Coldplay: just how often they're able to change their sound, and yet still sound like Coldplay. The new album (their fourth, if you don't really pay much attention) doesn't sound anything like X & Y, which in turn didn't sound like the album before that. Despite this, it's still very much a Coldplay album, and so if you liked them before, chances are you'll like them just as much now, if not more. My favourite album is still X & Y, but this one could soon be up there with it. Great album, and deserving of the #1 spot it's bound to get on Sunday, in any case.

I'm not sure if anything of note will happen tomorrow. In all honesty it'll probably turn out to be a "Here's How Work Went" entry, as I'm there all day, so...blah. Last full day I have to do, and then it's just an easy four hours on Friday. Hurrah! I very much doubt I'm gonna be getting a card though. Don't think anybody really cares that I'm leaving, if I'm honest. And to be honest, I don't really care if I don't get a card Save the environment, don't waste it on me! Lol.

Yes, that's probably the first time I've ever wrote "Lol" in my blog. I'm not gonna go check though, I'll just guess and say that it is.

Right, well, I suppose I should make a move and go to bed. I wonder what interesting things Mena'll be doing tomorrow whilst I'm slaving away for the Overlords at TK Maxx....Sigh,

Night people. Until tomorrow.
