cathedrals of despair (service stations)

Went on a road trip to Leeds via Birmingham the other day (although not technically a road trip as i went by train) which made me realise that i need to do more things like it. It was so nice just to idly sit on a train and stare out of the window plus i bought a load of stuff- clothes mainly as i continue my attempts to become Seth Cohen but also the phenomenal Death Cab for Cutie album which i listen to at least 3 times a day. Now might need to be a little fruggle but having said that my plan for the day is to go and watch 5x2 at the UGC so not that money conscious then. Not really looking forward to my birthday next week (i always have issues with it) and am interviewing a councillor which should be cool (no really, i'm looking forward to that).
