On Thursday night I received an amazing present from my boyfriend. The first part was just a pile of wires and cables (are they the same thing?) but the second was a portable sound card (io2), a multi-headphone stereo amp, two headphones and the loan of a little vintage piano with some buttons that can be linked up to downloadable synthesisers meaning you can play many different sounds with these buttons. The sound card has two inputs for microphones/ guitars, is connected by USB and no other electricity supply (ultra light) and comes with a cubase starter kit. It has one output for headphones but with the multi-headphone amp connected I can use up to four different headphones, all with controllable volume, this means I can silently (apart from the actual sound of our voices or whatever sound we're recording) create music with friends, all hearing the same beats in our ears. This perhaps only sounds exciting to me, but all this means I can start making my DIY music, and that is a good thing indeed.
Yesterday afternoon after work I started to move my furniture round in my flat to make space for my new toys and it should have been filmed, I marched my heavy and impractical ikea sofa on it's hind legs from one corner to the other and back again, moving the bed, table and desk with it each time, it took me 4 or 5 different positions to find the right one, and I was very tired after and sure that I had failed as a human being. I feel better today- and am having a little obsession with the song by zero 7 that shares this post's title.
I love the feeling of Saturday morning, I love the coffee that wakes me up, for once not to go and be someone else for the day, but to spend the start of two days of being an individual and free being. I realise in writing that that I shouldn't be working in a job that makes me feel like that, but to be honest (and I want to be that), it's as good as I make it, and it has a lot more opportunity for freedom than most other jobs that I would be capable of doing without putting all my energies into it. I do want to create my perfect job, life, and I will get there. I feel like I'm going in the right direction.
I'm going to put things on the wall today.

Oh Sophie I love reading this. You are such a wonderful little imp. I take such comfort in your solidarity as I trudge out of the door to spend another day being someone I have no desire to be...
Love you...
xxxxxxxx
Hello Sophie,
I feel like I have intruded onto your blog, a trespasser as it were. I hope you won't have me ejected, rather like your holier-than-thou neighbours... I hope you are well and enjoying a Parisian summer. Your sister has just departed my flat after a Sunday afternoon fry-up and much coffee. Sundays are the best days.
hope to have a proper catch up soon. I'm moving to New York for 6 months in September, though I haven't quite got my head round that yet.
Lots of love. Chris x
