sitting at home is boring
This is my very own personal LOLcat; Tibbles getting stuck in the bottom drawer of the filing cabinet while I was shoving all Mark's random paperwork in there just to get it out of the way. Mind you he completely murdered the pay slips file but it was pretty funny to have him in there. I'm amazed he fit, and then could get back out! I texted a picture to Mark with "I is in your cabinet stealing your files".
Tibbles has been a bit psychotic lately. I have legs and arms covered in scratches from him. He just likes to play. He is a kitten after all, he'll settle down soon. He conks out really quickly too, and he's so cute when he sleep and purrs. He sleeps in bed with us now too. Mostly on my pillow, or in between us under the doona if it's cold. And then he'll randomly wake up at about 4am deciding he's had enough sleep and will start attacking us. And so one of us will get up and take him downstairs and shut the door so he can't get back in, but then he'll claw at the door for like twenty minutes and meow really loudly and whingey like until he gets the message or we just fall asleep and can't hear him anymore. He is utter cuteness. Most of the time. When he's not trying to climb through the fly screen on the back window or hanging by the claw off your knee.
Over home the other day I was playing with the other kitties that Mum has. Tibbles's brother is really psycho and evil looking, you can't get anywhere near him. Louise kept a cat too that she named Busker. It's this little grey tiny fluff ball thing. It is cute, but I'd sneeze at it. Busker's brother is so little and so cute and there is something wrong with him. He must be really sick, cause Mum said he'd stopped eating and hardly moved and he was so skinny and boney and quiet and reserved and it was sad. I wanted to bring it home, but it was also fluffy so I wouldn't agree with it. And one kitty is enough.
I did this to my bookshelf today. I think it was Ally that said that I should hang my photos up around the place. I can't really nail holes into the wall for hooks, and I've tried blu-tacking things to brick and they keep falling down, and blu-tack on paint has a habit of taking the paint off. So I stuck them on my bookshelf, infront of photo albums and stationary and books and folders and note pads. I like it, because my bookshelf can get a little messy sometimes, and this is like artistic and space saving and practical and whatever. It means that I don't have to worry about frames and now what's on my bookshelf is private and no one can see the mess really. These are my six favourite photos; four colour and two black and white. I've got a whole heap of 5x7 that I want to put around the place too. I still have more photos that I could stick up around the place, but I don't know where I'd put them. I could stick them on the bookshelf down stairs like I did with this one. Maybe. We'll see.
I think I half have plans to go out and take photographs with a girl that Mark used to do his retail course with (who I'm friends with over Facebook now), but I'm not sure yet. I really really want to, but I have no idea what to go and photograph. She gets her friends to model for her, and she has some really cool shots, and I just don't know what I want to do yet. I need a model. I want a friend to volunteer. If Precious was still in town I know she'd do it for me. She'd do anything I want, except for nudes, although maybe she would, I don't know! I also really want to go out and take lots of Polaroids, because I'm sure the film that I have expires next month. I'm not sure, it could be May. Clare was saying something about getting film that was good until 2011. I want some of that! I want to take really random Polaroids, like of flowers and the sky and people and awesome little things and all that. I want to be creative and artistic and just plain awesome!
I bought a quilt today, for $50. And an awesome little shot glass set for $10, even though I hardly ever shot, and I have so many sets it's not funny. But these were just too cute. And I really should just not go shopping with Mum anymore because I always spend money. But at least a quilt is something that we need. We have a few doonas, well I have one and Mark has a blanket and a doona and we have a shared doona, but now I bought this one so I have two. I bought it because the other ones are doonas, where as this is a quilt, and we haven't got a quilt to put the quilt cover that I bought Mark for Christmas on so now we do. It's only a lightweight one, but I'm a hot sleeper anyway.
Tomorrow I'm going to get my pay slip from work and figure out exactly what money is going where because I am so sick of just spending money. I really just can't help it, so I'm going to work on it and write out a budget and stick to it. I still need to pay off my text books (which haven't arrived yet and I'm not happy about that).
I did a fair bit of housework and staying motivated today. I'm finding that I can't sit on the computer doing random stuff like I used to. I either have to be actually talking to someone (on MSN, Facebook, Bebo, email, whatever) or blogging or reading blogs or doing anything else to actually sit on here. Otherwise I get bored and restless and have to go and do something. It's good, because I always wanted to be on the computer less, just when I'm mindlessly on the computer. I can sit on here easy once I've got something to do, like sorting out photos or doing my LJ retagging or whatever. That reminds me, I want to print out more photos to put in my album this week. I haven't done any for a while. I think I made a deal with Mark regarding his time spent playing WoW. I divided the afternoon up into two parts, after work and after dinner, and asked that if he plays at one time, can he not play at the other because sometimes he sits on there all night. He can play all he likes after I go to bed, that I'm not caring about, but he needs to start helping me around the house and we need to spend more time doing coupley things.
My music tastes are changing. Well, not changing, just getting broader, which is a good thing. I downloaded some Imogen Heap, which mycellostrings suggested, and I like it so far. I also downloaded The Presets, after watching a couple dance to it on So You Think You Can Dance Australia last night, and I like them too. I downloaded some Arctic Monkeys too but haven't listened to it yet. I wonder if Ally will consider that happy enough, she's always on about how my music is so depressing, and it's not really, it's just what I relate to. I like a lot more music than I listen to, and I go through phases. This is my angsty/emo phase and I like it. I'm still in the process of broadening my tastes and putting everything I actually have onto my iPod and iTunes.
