Scarlet · Fever

However, I am pleased to read that generally Game Design/Graphic Design jobs are still paying well so if the jew keeps me he will make enough money for the both of us. My eggs remain firmly in this basket for the time being =P

Mmmmm...eggs.

Saying goodbye to people ~ working indoors when the sun is shining ~ weird dreams ~ paranoia ~ how skinny my cat is getting :( ~ being 'misunderstood' *tear* ~ Joe's snoring when he's passed out drunk ~ wishing I had the energy to stay out longer/stay up all day and night ~ buses ~ people in retail who ignore you and continuing talking to their colleagues while you stand there waiting to be treated like a human being instead of a consumer and are making a special effort to be nice as you remember your crummy days working in a shop ~ not knowing whether the man smiling at you on the street is being nice or wants to rape you, whether the woman smiling at you is being nice or snerky, whether the child smiling at you is being nice or going to happy-slap you ~ spending way too much time on facefuck ~ people at work who start new paragraphs when they're on the same subject ~ how do you do bullet points?!

And the likes:

Getting a 'proper' letter for the first time in years ~ microdermals ~ weird dreams ~ sit-ups ~ going round my Dad's for roast duck ~ going with me mam and Joe to look at/chase some chickens ~ the knowledge that this job doesn't have to be forever ~ new icon! ~ the tattoo idea ~ dancing ~ playing guitar again ~ The Moldy Peaches ~ singing along to Placebo in a Peter Griffin voice ~ Joe the Jew in general especially since he's grown his beard back! :D well done bb

I can't be bothered to think up anymore for now.

LJ is helping me to feel my age, which is not surprising as anything is likely to trigger that feeling lately as my 24th is coming up. I'm half-looking forward to and half-dreading the BBQ. I'm just going to pretend the fabulous glitter-covered Stay Beautiful last weekend was the true celebration, it feels better that way. It was great to meet rockandromance finally btw! But yeah, LJ...more specifically the tattoo communities I read in which my sarcasm is completely lost on 17 year old american sweethearts whose 'Mom' is offering to pay for their first crappy tatt when they hit 18...god how I want to slap them. And it's always wretched swallows and stars, although I've just about finished designing my star tattoo so I should shut up really, haha.

Zac Efron would be a better name for a printer than a person in my humble one.

What else to say? Some things have happened but I can't be bothered to backtrack. All I'm thinking about at the moment is that 2 of my best friends are leaving Canterbury and this is making me quite sad. I should take this opportunity to get to know other people better I guess. It's just a shame to have people go after they've helped you through bad times (and the good, god I'm sounding like a card now), you can't just develop that kind of relationship with other people instantly. Duh. That's what comes with living in a student city though, as we all know.

Joe only has one more year of college though before we run off into the sunset together ^.^ hahaha. Trufax.

* Post 3 things you've done that you believe nobody else on your F-list has done.
* If anybody responds with "I've done that," add another thing.
* Encourage your friends to paste this into their own journal to list the unique things they've done.

1) Been to Disneyworld - TWICE
2) Lived on a Pacific island for a year
3) Been asked out by an up-and-coming rock star - and rejected him >.<

Hmm, not things I've actually made myself do, tbh. I wish I were more accomplished, like my new housemate, who I'm determined not to resent straight away but it's hard because she's lived in London, is a web-designer/bar-tender/teacher, does boxing and salsa and is pretty with it. And has just got back from Slovenia.

I need to wean myself away from work and internet first though, yikes! It's been amazing having internet that works. I already have more media than I'll ever be able to get through, and I go straight from working on a computer all day to playing games like Wolf 3d all night haha. I'm going to go blind(er) and die of RSI, if that's possible.

Help me! D:

*Edit* 4) Eaten kangaroo in Australia

A microwave (I'm gonna hide it in my room and charge housemates to use it! This makes me both mature AND popular! =P)

Something for the weekend ;)

Theatre tickets.

Dental appointment. Turns out I've been chewing myself in my sleep, giving myself an ulcer on my gum which hurts. Lots. + Taxi fare + medicine.

A lamp.

A PC! Will arrive within 10 working days!

Oh well, it's not all that bad I guess.

I could start getting stuff out the attic ready for moving but I'm scared of doing it on my own with no-one standing underneath ready to catch me when I fall...Jew's busy doing college work which I wish he would do when I'm at work, argh! :(

I'm more than ready for a weekend without booze. Not looking forward to work tomorrow as I got absolutely slaughtered at my Friday welcoming do. I am mortified. Oh god I need a copy of Word desperately, so's I can send on my CV.

It's one of those days when you're so bored but you don't wanna see anyone or do anything. Fucking baked on the bus coming back here only to find it too chilly to sunbathe because of the damn sea breeze.

Gah I can't believe I'm using the remainder of my time off before I start the new job watching re-runs of sex and the freakin city.

I had to re-start my laptop 3x to get thru all my emails and f-list. When I move, I shall get a desk, and will be plonking a PC on that there desk. Ha and someone that most of you (chemically, rather than sociably) will know has said they're interested in moving in with me...hehehe.

Having general misgivings about taking on the job, and my reasons for moving back to Canterbury. What am I doing?! It would be nice not to be tied down to a contract. I have savings, I should be using them to travel or something, not to fritter away on rent! Haha yes like I'm ever going to find a travelling companion, or have the guts to do it on my own. Good one.

FATE. It's a four-letter word. Everyone name their favourite four-letter word. Maybe we'll make a short story or something.

For example - this one bloke, three prison sentences, physically/sexually assaulting staff...what does he get in return? Help filling in his wretched housing application form, and housing/council tax benefits.

I'm tired of people using mental illness to get off work/get a better result from their court appearances. I'm not saying all people with mental illness do this; I've just read and typed a lot of letters about the subject and it does seem to be escalating recently.

And don't get me started on ADHD/OCD/SAD and all those other acronyms >.<

Guess I'm just old-fashioned.

"Why not make lemonade from the lemon rather than sweep it under the carpet."

Why not, indeed.

Bye folks, I'm off to check under the carpet for hordes of lemons...
