We Move So Fast…

Posted on October 22, 2022October 3, 2023 By Priptona 4 Comments on We Move So Fast…

Photos from today. I wanted to point out to Jim my hat. Birdy bought it for me for Christmas and I haven’t really worn it. It’s too big for my head (I know!) and so I had the genius idea of putting a bunch of the badges Samantha sent me around it to try and tighten it. I wanted to wear it as protection from the rain and to hide my hair that was on the wrong side of needing a wash.

It didn’t really work. The hat kept falling down over my eyes and was still feeling too big. It bugged me all afternoon AND I missed the chance of pointing it out to Jim. On top of that, I just felt like a dick wearing it. Lol

As for the album signing? All these things just go too quickly! I’m a complete mess! Jim talks to me and I literally fall apart. I can’t even look at him! When I DO try and look at him I feel my face turn scarlet.

Charlie gets me talking and tries his best to turn me into some semblance of a functioning human being. They sign the stuff and it’s all done with.

IT JUST GOES BY TOO QUICKLY! It’s too fast.

Anyway….photos! First…the hat that initially, erroneously, I was referring to as “the Rim of Jims” until I thought again that I should probably be calling it “the BRim of Jims”! Lol. Dear God! :-/

I was standing in the middle between them at one point, but Charlie was looking away and I have my tongue poking out … and Jim’s not quite smiling (who can blame him!) – I love all the little milliseconds that have been caught.
The signed goodies. I had my copy of Sister Feelings Call signed. I wanted it signed from the moment I bought it. Six and a half years down the line, I got it done. I’m very happy! Jim personalised my DOTH. I did ask… off the cuff, like. Not expecting him to oblige. Thank you, Sir <3

      It seemed to be. We got to the HMV about 2.10pm and a queue had already formed with about 15 people in it. We joined and it kept building up. I think there was 250 people?so someone said.

      Thanks, Mr Scobes. I did feel like a massive dick in it though. Lol. I?m not sure hats suit me as much as people say they do. Getting one that actually fits ma heid might help though! Lol
