If i lay here

If i just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget about the world. If only it were possible to lie down and forget about the world, and just be. Like when you see films in fast forward. To be able to sit back and watch life pass, without having to think or do.

Tomorrow i set off to sunny sunny Scotland (yeah right) so you wont be hearing from me for a good 2 weeks. I have done my research and studied the possible glacial landscapes to look out for, so I'm going to have a whale of a time. Yes i am extremely sad, but someone has got to be excited by such things, and so by being so, i am merely doing my duty and relieving someone else of the sad-ness. Maybe...or maybe its jus cos I'm a bit of a loser, who wears geographical society clothing!

Tonight i have to pack. I am sat here on my bed, as far away from the bag as possible, in some sort of denial that packing itself actually exists at all. Alas as fun as escapism and denial is, i fear that before i put my head down for the night i will have to confront the massive pile of clothes and junk that lies strewn before me across my room, and rearrange it into a somewhat more organised collection. I will pack suncream, just in case...

The title bit was by the way a lyric from Chasing Cars, from Snow Patrol's new album, which is absolutely fantastic! Go buy it! NOW!

Thought for the Day: He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool, shun him,
He who knows not and knows that he knows not is a child, teach him,
He who knows and knows not that he knows is asleep, wake him,
He who knows and knows that he knows is wise, follow him.
