Dove Grey Day

i got some lovely grey things today.
Me and mum went over to ballina, because we were out of the house anyway…and i was commenting on how i mite just get a bus up to galway tomorrow so i can go around the shops and get things like grey…things…
so she was like…feck that, ill just bring you over to ballina now…which is about 30mins away…we travel that to do our food shopping, so it wasn't that big a deal…and its not like we were doing anything else anyway…

so penny's in Ballina is really nice. its really big…everything is hung up…it doesn't live on the floor…like it does in castlebar and galway for the most part. and they seem to have nice things there, in general…more wearable things…

i picked up a really nice fitted grey lace top…that is all lace, for wearing under things…it has three quarter length sleeves, my favorite, and its a really nice cut…it has a slightly lower back then front…which just makes it that bit different…
So i can wear that under the million sleeveless dresses i seem to have…don't know how i keep accumulating them…seeing as i always have to wear something with sleeves either over or under them…because no one sees my arms. ever.

and i picked up a lite dusty purple, an intense blue, and a slate grey long sleeved top…for the same purpose…and i lite grey top that has ribbing…well thats what i would call it anyway…im sure there is some technical textiles term that i should know but i don't….
And two pairs of grey leggings…which i swore i would never buy…but when you go through as many tights as i do…and winter is coming in…leggings seemed a pretty sensible option…at least im just wearing them as tights…which means they will always be covered…unlike the imbeciles that wear them as pants….:shudders:

and…yeh…that was all really…lots of nice grey things tho

i love grey at this time of year in particular. because there is so much grey everywhere when winter is rolling in, i think, for me…personally…i feel better if i dress with the seasons. now, obviously that doesn't always happen…but it helps my mood if i at least try…
So im looking for a lgd…little grey dress…i would be made up if i found one. Failing that, ill just dye the floating dusty pink one i have, grey, for halloween…
im thinking of dressing as 'grey' for halloween…i don't know if thats very creative or very lazy…but i cant think of anything else id rather be then just various shades of grey…

Grey isn't nothingness…lots of things are grey…lots of lovely things
Baby swans are grey…doves, and Russian Blue cats are grey…
Clouds filled with lite rain are grey…fog hugging the banks of rivers are grey…and mist is grey...
The ocean can be grey from time to time
The connemara mountains in winter, and the burren is grey…all the time
Ciggerette smoke is grey…water colour water can turn grey after a few dirty paint brushes have been thrown in…Found feathers…turf smoke from a little cottage chimney…Newspapers are grey…Lanterns….
Grey can be warm, and cold
its like liquid velvet…
purple and yellow makes the most scrumptious greys… 

So im thinking for halloween, ill dress in grey…lots of grey…different shades and textures and layers of grey over grey…
i think itl be really lovely and dreamy…
and ill prolie do my face so i look dead, but that is neither here nor there…
and put flowers in my hair and say that im ophelia from hamlet…and thats 'who' ill be…but really, im just going as grey :)

i went looking for hair dye in town but they didn't have the colour i like, so ill have to wait till i get back from austria…my hair is really doing my head in at the moment (excuse the pun) i think its getting too long…but im really scared of getting it cut…ive never gotten it cut here, since i moved, and been happy with what they've done to me…im more scared of the hairdresser then the dentist…really…not even joking…
but i have to do something with it, seriously…its turning into a bob…and no…im not having that, no thanks…i know that that does not suit me…

but that will have to wait till i get back now as well…that way if its really crap, itl have grown out by christmas, or at least the new year…cant believe 2010 is nearly gone already…where the hell did that year go to? mental…

i have to pack…im so bad at leaving things to the last minute…seriously…totally hopeless…traveling really, unsettles me…it scares me senseless…the first time i traveled on my own was when i was 16, flying back from the states, after a month visiting friends, on my own…brave little shit that i was…and i took trains and planes all on my own when i was over there…don't know if i would be able to do that now…granted, the friends that i was staying with brought me to said airport or train station and sent me on my way as i was visiting them…virginia, boston, new jersey, then back to virginia…but still…sitting on the train from boston to new jersey took a lot of guts i think…a lot more then what i actually had at the time…
and ive been to france on my own since then…and me and al and the boy went to london last summer, and managed to get around everywhere and get back in one piece…and me and the girls managed the same feat this summer…me and al went to paris…but that was in a big group…but we kinda kept to ourselves that week…so…
really i shouldn't be so nervous. i should be ok. im getting the bus from galway thursday. straight to the airport. and then i just have to find my gate, which wont be rocket science…like it was when i was flying back from visiting bon bon…that had me nearly sectioned…and then all i have to do when i land is wait for alex to pick me up…hopefully the airport will have wi fi…so i can see what my ipod can do…thatl kill the hour or so that im there…
but yes…
when im traveling, i generally don't think about it until it is right on top of me…or i just stress myself out,
i know that i will be fine, so theres no point worrying…the only problem is that because i don't think about it…i don't pack…until the last second…
but all my clothes are washed, just a matter of chucking them into a bag…

sort of looking forward to galway tomorrow…
id l.o.v.e. to go to javas and pick up a banana/coffee heavenly drink…that would sort of make my day:) also, mister genie/santa/jesus/alla/buddah/mother nature…if i could possibly get out to salthill for like, seriously, 5minutes…i would be so grateful, you have no idea…instant cure all…i need it so so badly right now this minute
i cant actually barely breathe anymore.
i need it
Thanks ^_^
