Valentine's day is a day of happiness. Supposedly. For the vast majority it seems to be a day of sadness, regret and rejection. I want to be able to make everyone happy.
However, I have realised that, despite my very happy situation, my heart is still breaking. Is it possible to fix other people's broken hearts if you're finding it hard to hold together the shards of your own? It's odd that my heart should be breaking right now, as I really have no reason for it to. I suppose it's just the way I am. Whiney and controlling.
On a nicer note, I went to St Kilda Fest yesterday. It was pure awesome in festival form.I had lots of fun.
I started off by going to Caitlin's and catching the train with her. We were worried we'd be the only ones there, as we couldn't get into the other carriages to see everyone else. But when we got into Southern Cross it was fine. We managed to find Kiana with a simple phone call. Then we were waiting at the station for Izzy and her band of friends. While waiting we also got to find Kiana's friend Adam. He's nice, but kinda closed off. Anyway, when Izzy got there we got introduced to her friends, but I can only remember Alice and Enya names.
So then we all caught the tram to St Kilda. It was fucking packed, but we could only expect that. We got off the tram and walked down to the Max Beach Stage. On the way there we saw this cool as salsa dance tent thing set up and they were teaching people to salsa right there on the street!! We also saw a bunch of other street performers setting up.
So we walk to the Max stage and Washington was playing. Caitlin was very excited by this as Clamentine is her myspace song. I didn't realise I knew so many songs by them, until I started listening and realised I know all the lyrics.
So we all got up and had a bit of a dance, which was very fun! After Washington's set we just kinda hung around the Max stage, waiting for the next person to come on. That's when I met Random Ukulele Guy. I saw him walking around with his ukulele so I asked if I could play a little, which was fun. He hung around for a while, but when we realised we didn't like Archie Roach (the next guy on stage) we went our separate ways. Which was fine, I had fun.
So yes, we decided we didn't like Archie Roach and went for a walk around to see the other stages. However, Kiana decided it would be a nice time for a swim. So despite the fact we had no bathers, Kiana and I went into the sea. She was wearing a dress, so it wasn't too bad for her, but I was wearing pants. That subsequently got salt all over them. Kiana's dress was white, however, which meant it went see-through.
After that we saw the Foxtel butterfly. Which was just a lady on stilts in a butterfly costume, but it was awesome!!
Then we walked all the way back to the Max stage, but Caitlin realised she's lost her mum's cardigan. So Caitlin and I went back to look for it but we couldn't find it anywhere. We've assumed someone taxed it.
So then we were hanging at the Max stage for a while. Nothing eventful happened around this time, expect that I suspect it is when I got sunburnt.
A few hours later a flying hat comes off a rooftop, so I taxed it. It's a coke hat and I love it. Then we went on a walk, and I found a scarf which is also awesome. Then Caitlin and I had to go and catch out train, but on the way I found a cardigan!! So yeah, that was awesome!
So on the way home it was fairly uneventful as well. But when we got to Gizzy station I saw Dom!! I haven't seen him since year eight!! It was kinda weird, but also really good. And then I found a superman hat, and taxed that. And a really pretty purple bracelet. That I taxed as well. Haha!
So then we went to Caitlin's and did the usual thing, went to bed, got up, went to school. Nothing amazing.
But I had such an amazing day!! I reckon that's one of my top valentine's of ALL TIME! I really had such a good day. I did get VERY sunburnt though. But I'll get over that. I am so glad I took so many photos of the day. I hope I never forget it.
