I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. You know the kind of thought you have when you're consciously thinking about something, but in actuality you're subconsciously thinking about something else, although you're actually half-aware of it? That's been happening to me. It's a little hard to explain but I think that's the general gist of it.
This week progressed as the weeks usually do nowadays. I don't have much to say anymore because work takes up a third of my time, but in the third of my time when I'm not sleeping or working I've been playing through some old games like Phantasy Star 2, getting past places I got stuck at before, vegetablizing over the net, doing my hobby writing and other things too. I don't feel bad about being so nerdy anymore because it's better than just wasting my time away.
Well, today I woke up early and took the train to Penrith, where I picked up my pre-order of Hellsing Ultimate and the third DVD of Trinity Blood. I like Gonzo vampire animes. They're fun. After that I had some ice cream and took the train to Parramatta and browsed old book stores for about an hour. I found this place that had a zillion Michael Moorcock books, which was interesting, but I don't really like Michael Moorcock. My dad does. I phoned him in the store asking if I should pick him up an old rare Moorcock book but the one book he wanted; 'Behold the Man', wasn't on the shelves.
After wandering Parramatta for a couple of hours I took the train back to St Marys and went to the department store, where I bought a new notebook. This one will be the tenth book in my little collection. It's hardcover and light pink. While also at the department store I put a lay by out on a nintendo DS for myself and two DS games, Phoenix Wright and Hotel Dusk. I've heard lots of good things about the former and the concept of the latter game just fascinates me. I'll finish paying off and should get that stuff out on June the second. I could buy it right now if I wanted to, but it would totally destroy my budget and you all know just how adamant I am about keeping it.
Speaking of my budget I just recently made my May deadline, one month early! I'm so proud of myself! Time to set myself up a new one now! I want to have 10k in my savings by my birthday, November the twelfth! I can do it too, I know I can.
Gee... I was about to type something important but I just lost it in my excitement of actually achieving something for once. Well, it's only one more month until my two-year anniversary with Matty. I can't believe it's nearly been two years already. I mean, I can believe it because time looks short when you're glancing at it over your shoulder, but it looks so long and distorted when it's right in front of you. I should really do something extra special for him this anniversary. It's the last one we're going to have as just boyfriend and girlfriend, after all.
I've been having a bit of trouble fitting in my writing on the weekdays. I do enjoy doing it but when I get home all I wanna do is sleep. So, I've put my alarm back half an hour and I do my scribbling right after I wake up. Half an hour every weekday really does make a difference in the long run. That's two and a half hours a week. I seem to be able to write the most coherently when I'm barely even conscious. That's strange, isn't it?
I really need to get my hair cut. It's grown long enough to my butt and it needs about three inches cut off it to get rid of all the split ends. I keep putting off my appointment to the hairdressers because I hate the smell of those places. They stink to high heaven of yucky chemicals.
Tomorrow is Easter Sunday. I wonder if anybody is giving my chocolate this year? I of course know that I should demur any offerings of evil calories, but if anybody DID give me stuff I'd hate to waste it...
So what have I been thinking about that is so secret and important that the foreground of my brain doesn't need to know about it? ...I don't know, not just yet. If I did I wouldn't be wondering like I am. I do regret not updating this thing as often as I used to, but weekdays leave me so drained lately that anything I did post would be confused jabbering and possible whiny angst. I can have more perspective on the weekends and that's what I like to see in myself the most.
Sunday is the last day of my long weekend. I got work again on Easter Monday. I'd better use it well, huh?
