A Moment of Clarity

It is 11.30 on the night of Monday the 7th of May and I, Sam Dodgin, have come to a realisation.

I am a man well endowed with friends. However, amongst those friends there a few who stick out as being particularly special. These are people who I love unconditionally. Who I could never bear a grudge against, no matter what their crime. I love these people. I would forgive them for anything, just like I hope they would do the same.

Viki – Is my first love and possibly the most wonderfully brave person I have ever met. I love her with everything.

Jim – Is my best mate and a wonderful, wonderful one at that. I undervalue just what he means to me. I never resent spending time with him. He could sleep with my wife and I’d forgive him.

Caley – Is Jim’s girlfriend and someone who I have recently found myself growing very fond of. She is such a wonderful soul. Like I have repeated so many times, she is one of my best friends, and I will always be there for her.

Oli – Is the man. He has been my friend since I was 1. We don’t see each other that much, but it just means I appreciate and enjoy the times we do even more.

Joely – Is my support. The one person I can guarantee will give me sound advice and the one person who will always find time to give me said advice. I love her as well.

These are the people who make my life worth living. I thank them with all my heart.

“I fell in love with a girl…”

Mar 07
1 Comment

met her 11 months ago the day before yesterday (that being the 5th of March 2007). We have been together ever since and I love her. I love her dearly. What I feel for her, I will never be able to describe. She is wonderful and made my life worth living. I would not be here to type this if it wasn’t for her. She is 5ft of beauty and brains. Thick curly brown hair down to just above her shoulders, that’s perfect to run your hands through. A smile that lights up an entire room. A fantastic sense of humour. Everything I’ve ever wanted. And it’s mine.

We met in Germany. In Stuttgart, to be precise. She stood out from the others. Firstly, she was a lot more attractive. Secondly, she was a lot quieter. I struck up a rapport with her. She interested me greatly. It seemed to me that she had a lot to say and a lot of pain, but that she was trying to live her life. We first kissed in the Wilhelma Tiergarten. I remember it distinctly. We had gone off hand in hand, just chatting away without a care in the world. Then suddenly something clicked. Certainly in me anyway. I had to take her somewhere quiet. I needed to kiss her. This was on a Monday. The Friday before we had almost kissed in an Eiscafe, but some angry little man had ushered us away from our private little spot. Just outside the toilets. So romantic. Anyway, I needed to find somewhere private. We wandered to where the polar bears were kept, which was a long way out of the way of anywhere else. Just as I was about to move in, someone, I can’t remember whether we knew them or not, appeared. FUCK. Opportunity lost. We started walking back down towards the main part of the zoo and I stopped and turned round. This was my moment. I moved in and I could see her doing the same. Our lips met and I got the most FANTASTIC feeling I have ever felt. Elation on a scale greater than I ever thought possible. Greater than Jonny Wilko’s winning drop goal in the Rugby World Cup Final. Greater than seeing Muse live (is it obvious that not a lot of really good things have happened to me?). Completely brilliant. I felt a whole new person. That was 11 months ago yesterday. That is still the best moment of my entire life. When I first kissed Victoria Elizabeth Anne Hook. Every time I kiss her, I get the same sensation. Like being on top of the world. No-one will ever replace her. No-one will ever make me feel like this again.

“And the first time ever I kissed your mouth,
I felt the earth move,
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird,
That was there at my command”

The first months of our relationship were fantastic. We did all the things that couples do. Sent each other letters. Went to the cinema. Went places together. I have a whole box of things that I received. I remember the first time we met up after Germany. I had stayed on for another week, which had been prearranged. I have never wanted so much to get home. I missed her so so so so so so so so so so so so so much. All I could think about was her. I met her the day after we got back. I was a nervous wreck. Would she turn up? Would she still feel the same? Would she still want a relationship? I started well, and just got better. She was there when I arrived. She smiled at walked up to me. Owing to the foots height difference between us. She stood up on the tips of her toes and kissed me. I got that feeling again. We went to Costa. I can’t remember if she had anything. To be honest that whole day feels like a blur. I was over the moon. Finally, things appeared to be going my way. We came back here and spent a whole day in each other’s arms. From that day onwards, I have been completely and utterly in love.

“I could see whomever ever I choose,
But nothing, I said nothing, can take away these blues,
‘Cos nothing compares to you…”

My life in the last month

Feb 24
1 Comment

I have done the following new things:

1) Cooked viki a meal. I think she liked it.

2) Seen Seth Lakeman live-Awesome

3) Seen Regina Spektor live-Awesome also

4) Seen Russell Brand live-Funny as fuck.

5) Sent someone flowers…

6) Actually had a valentine…

7) been happy.

I have done the following old things:

1) Played in the snow with Emm.

2) Ummm…

3) that’s about it.

Hmm. Like most things at the moment, I don’t know why i did this. It just felt like the right thing to do. I lack an aim again. Oh well. FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! I don’t know why i typed that. What is the fucking point, you know what I mean? This whole fucking world is fucked. Too many problems for anyone to deal with. Latest is that people want to ban cluster bombs. A great idea, and one that I am extremely proud to say that this country supports. Cluster bombs are indiscrimate and dangerous weapons. The aerial equivalent of a flamethrower. But the US doesn’t care about that. God, I fucking hate that country. I mean, there’s retarded, and then there’s American. Serisously. I can’t even articulate how much I loathe that one nation. I was learning recently (steady on!) about what US political commentators call “iron triangles”. And they’re where all the power lies. Lobbyists and administration officials and members of congressional committees team up in what appears to be one big session of mutual fellatio, in order to maintain the status quo. And the main example of this abhorrent system is the military industry complex. Members of Congress keep defence spending up, so the companies can get fucking heaps and heaps on money and then its the administrations job to find places to fire these fucking lovely new bombs, and send these new planes, and kill more innocent people, who are only in the army because they can’t afford another profession. I don’t know about you, but knowing that makes me want to take a gun to my head. What is the point?

But if we ignore that MASSIVE FUCKING ELEPHANT in the room that makes my life a misery, I’m alrite, ta, thanks for asking. I am in love with the girl of my dreams, and I have some fucking quality friends, who I really do love. “They say the family of the 21st century is made up of friends not relatives” I think I have the best family around.


I Love You

Three little words I don’t say often enough. If only i had better words to express what I feel for you in my heart. But I don’t. The truth is nothing can supercede those words as an expression of emotion. Add anymore, the phrase just becomes clumsy. Take away words and it doesn’t make much sense… I love you. And you know who you are. So does everyone who will read this. I can’t think of any other words to say to tell you how I feel. And I’ve tried. I’ve searched deep within my heart and within my mind and the only words I can come up with are “I love you”. So i guess those are the words that I’ll have to use. I love you and I don’t ever want to change how I feel.

My birthday story ends…

A couple of posts back, I mentioned that it was my birthday. In between then and now, I have done many exciting things to celebrate. Here is a brief recount of said celebrations.
4th of November was spent in Hackney, watching that master of comedy, Ross Noble, Esq.. He truly is a genius, and it was a brilliant show. When we got there. The traffic in Watford was so bad I’m not going to even BEGIN to talk about it. It was a ghastly experience. Well worth the wait though. Thank you to Viki, Oli, Sam and my beloved mother for coming with me, I do believe we had a fantastic evening. And one thing to anyone who was there: A BUMFACED CHILD!!! BEING BUMMED IN THE FACE!!!
Second on the item was my birthday present from Viki. Tickets to see the one and only….
MUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And OH MY GOD they were good. So good I didnt even notice what they were playing, only that it sounded awesome. And that Matt Bellamy can make an hour and 40 minutes seem like 20 seconds. I didn’t want it to end. What made the evening perfect, though, was that i got to spend it with the one I love…
Finally, on Saturday I had a little party. Not many people that regular readers of this blog would know, but Viki, Becci, Cath, Sam and Rob were there and we ended up having a nice little evening, drinking wine and having a good old chat, during which the topic of mine and Viki’s marriage was mooted!!! A tad premature, methinks.
Overall, I did some really great things for my birthday. I’d like to thank everyone who came, they made those things what they were. I’d particularly like to thank Viki. Without her there, none of those things would have been half as good.

Take care yourselves

And i got things. But i had to go to school. Which was alrite actually. Mainly thanks to the cakes i got. I had one in politics (and a cup of tea!!!), one at break and the best was saved til last, the cake that viki made me!!! I haven’t eaten it yet, but it looks gorgeous. And i got me a new phone! It’s a K750i, which I am loving to the max.
Went out for a meal as well, with family and that. Had some tasty steak and a treacly tart. Shame the restaurant was cold. Thanks to everyone who gave me things, particulary viki for the cake and book and muse ticket!!! and the badge!!! and all the other stuff!!! and for being there.
Today (the day after my birthday, but caley’s birthday, so happy birthday her!) I got up and went up town to do beccis pschology experiment which was nice and fun. Then I went up town, cashed me birthday cheques and bought me some DVDs!!! I got “Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace” and “Sophie Scholl” which looks good and is about the leader of the White Rose Movement (not the band, the anti-nazi student movement).
Another big thank you for people who made my birthday good, particularky joely for calling and viki for the cake and presents.

WOOOT!!!! NO PARENTS!!!!

In case you didn’t know, my parents have been away in Belgium (yawn) since monday, and I’ve been alone since then. Well almost. A certain someone may have been here everyday to look after me and do a lil bit of cooking. She thinks I’m lying, but that meal was genuinely lovely. Chicken breast (hehe breast) stuffed with feta cheese and peppers with cous-cous. DELISH!!!!
So yeah, been living wothout my parents since Monday. Sorry I didn’t invite people over, but I couldn’t be bothered to clean up after some über-party. “But,” I hear you cry, “whatever did you do with yourself?” Well, the old parents left early monday morning. I got up about 12 and went to the shop to buy some Canada Dry, as I learnt that it’s lush mixed with jäger. Viki came over at about 4 o’clock and we did some pasta for dinner. Tuesday was pretty uneventful. Went to my Grandma’s for dinner and got back here at about 9 and we were quickly down to the pub!!! Which was quality. Allowed us to have a nice long chat about everything and makes me love her that little bit more. Today, I had poached egg on toast for breakfast, then we went down to Tescos, so Viki could buy the ingriedients for the GORGEOUES dinner she cooked for me. When we got back, we sat down and watched Downfall (possibly my favourit film ever). Then the cooking began, and I was made a meal of wonderful taste. After a couple of hours hanging around not doing much, we went to the pub and had a couple of drinks, before getting back just in time for Viki to gather up her things before her mum came to pick her up. Then I made myself a pizza for breakfast tomoro!!!! Which will be greatly enjoyed.
On a slightly different note, I have concluded that I very much like the new My Chemical Romance single. Kudos to them.

Post no. 20 – Not a highlights package

So I’ve reached post no. 20 on this wonderful on wordpress.com blog. I think there are more posts on here than I have had on any other site of this nature. Which is impressive, in my humble opinion.
I haven’t posted on here in time (apologies for the chav language, i am trying to curb my habit), so this will serve as an update to anyone who cares about my life, and he life of those around me. I’m currently at school, in M4 with Jim, Joe and Mole, trying to avoid exploding in a rant at Joe about just how rubbish beatdown is. UGH! Life, however, has been good to me recently, and everyday I find myself falling deeper and deeper in love. With………… MARZIPAN!!!!!! OH! MY! GOD! I knew i liked the almond based icing product before but I have truly and deply fallen for it. Especially as part of a chocolate fondue. Oh, and i’ve fallen in love with viki. But that’s not important :P
On top of this, Borderville have finally put music up on their myspace profile. Check it out here.

My first non-world cup post for a while

I’ve looked back and realised that my last 5 or so posts have been dedicated entirely to the world cup and nothing else. None of the other wonderous joys in my life have been even slightky mentioned

Firstly, i’ve no been going out with Viki for 3 months!!!!!! SCORE!!!! I’m shocked, I thought she’d have realised I’m a loser by now, but it hasnt happened.

Secondly, I HAVE THE NEW MUSE ALBUM!!!!! OMGZZZZZZ!!! It is absolutely awesome. Reccommend tracks include “starlight” “assassin” and “knights of cydonia”.

Spent earlier today in the Tesco’s cafe with kez, jen and their friend Sandy. Jen + Woody=AWWWWW!!!

Looking back at this post, it’s pathetic, just how dull my little life is. Oh well
