Photos, Cemetaries and Sophie

today was fun.
this evening was even better.

holly took more photos. she's taking photos all week because it's our last week as a gang. after that they leave, and then the group has that horrid chance of never being whole again.

and this evening, after school.... *happy giggle* Wow! =)

I was walking Sophie home and we were talking about her ideas for a photo shoot. She wants to do a few in a cemetery/graveyard and I remembered the one from when me, Andy and Marshy got a bit to drink and went to. So I mentioned it to Sophie and if she was doing anything. She wasn't so we dropped our bags off at hers and I finally had something like a conversation with her mum.

Sophie's mum is a lot cooler when you're talking to her personally rather than through Sophie. And I saw Sophie's dad. He seemed cool. I don't know what to do in the face of praise though. All I can think of is that TV show I saw a few episodes of.

Anyways, we set off to this cemetery. We went through a churchyard (isn't it interesting how many different names there are for the places where we put the dead?) and saw some great places for photos.

As we came up to the church, I said:
"I love religion. They're the greatest marketting department."
"It is beautiful isn't it?" Sophie said, referring to the church
"No." I corrected her. "It's impressive. Now, where we're going, that's beautiful."

As we were hopping over a wall Sophie ripped her jeans quite badly =P =) New jeans to. 4 day old jeans.

We talked and walked and took in the incredible and beautiful views Belper has to offer those that care to look. The best thing is, it's immense in the day, it's wondorous at night.

We went down to the cemetery, but before reaching it we headed off down a worn path that ran alongside the cemetary. We found some awesome places for photos and movie scenes. And the whole are just didn't work. There were old trees but it looked like a house had been there. Not a long time ago neither. There was lots of window glass and red bricks. Not to mention a few broken plant pots and a metal cover with AC/DC on it.

The whole area was naturally wrong. It was brilliant =) And so much of it just begged for photos and filming. Tree frames, abandoned walls, crying tree, wow! It was amazing =)

And then we went to the cemetery. It was weird. Being around so much stuff like that, it makes you appreciate life so much more. And we spent a while on a bench, taking in the view. The view from the cemetary needs to be seen to be believed.

I meant what I said.
I meant every last breath.
I meant every name I called you.
You found me new life in a field of death.

After the cemetery we headed back to Sophies. It's a nice walk back too.

At Sophies her mum offered me tea. That was amazing. The last time I had tea at my friends house (and actually enjoyed it)... we're talking years. Easily. Hell, it verges on ever. Most parents I used to know just seemed to love grease and that's just *shudders* blegh. Sophie's mum is a great cook. No grease, nothing excessive, just a damn good meal.

And why am I getting so hung up on this? Because I've been cooking my own meals for the last 5 months. It makes you appreciate the distinct lack of cooking and cleaning, not to mention the quality of the meal.

Anyways, 5 outta 5 =)

Me and Sophs headed up to her room. We chilled, chatted, cuddled occassionally, and listened to music. We also got to see some of the photos Holly took today. Erg. I look shocking in most of them. Worse than usual.

But again, I meant it honey
I meant it when I said it
You rock more than anyone else
And not just because you listen when I feel like shit.

And there's an awesome photo of Brendan with the best caption ever. "Gay people do it best."

=)

So that was my day today. I missed a fair bit, becuase honestly I'm tired and my memory department closes at 7pm. After that it's a skeleton crew and they're not very good.
