I should probably update, seeing as my last update failed miserably. Stupid thing deleted all of my text in between me clicking post and it actually posting *grumble* I should delete the entry but I can't even be arsed to do that. Yeah, I'm pretty grumpy - nothing particularly seriously bad is going on in my life, but I have had a nasty sinus-infection/flu type thing for about a week. I get really frustrated when stuff like this happens. A normal cold is annoying, but this has been the energy-killing staying in bed all day kind of deal. I'm getting better but, in between short bursts of feeling normal, I feel totally exhausted and drained. I would very much like normal service to be resumed now please! I have stuff to do!
A lot of this "stuff" that I have to "do" is basically housework. Manda and Danielle are coming on friday (SQUEE!!!) and the spare room is a bombsite. And the kitchen is in a perpetual state of disarray. It's not particularly dirty, just messy. The amount of recycling that just 3 or 4 people create in a few days is actually freaking breathtaking.
Debra's home at the moment, which is always awesome. Though selfish me thinks she's spending too much time working and not enough time goofing around with her big sister. Though we've managed to fit some general goofery in. Mostly in the form of watching Merlin and the general giggles and stupid in-jokes that I can't really explain in any meaningful way (eg. calling both each other and the cat 'Merlino' in a sort of wandering pan-european accent. Or saying 'HAY MERRRLEEENO! WHY YOU HANGIN' OUT WITH GAIUS? YOU GO OUT, GET SOME YOUNG FRIENDS! ENJOY YOUR LIIIFE!')
And in house-news, I finally got my hands on the contract, got it signed and sent off. I think once it's arrived and been processed that might be pretty much it for now in terms of Stuff That Needs Doing for my new flat! The next big step will be assigning rooms. I don't care which room I get as long as it's warm! Actually, I should look into which room is south-facing and try to get that one. Hmmm.
Oh and I'm nearly 25. 10 days left of 24ness and then I'm officially a quarter of a century old. I feel like it should be a big deal but I really can't be bothered. I don't even want any presents (which is unusual for me - I always want presents. Even when it's not my birthday. In fact, usually when it's not my birthday). I've accumulated 25 years' worth of stuff. My wardrobe is full of clothes I want to take to the charity shop. My cupboards are stuffed with random bits and bobs. I have 5 full bookshelves in my room and still some of my books are in boxes. I've filled one of those big DVD holder wallet things (and still have many DVDs in their boxes). I have so much stuff already. I think what I'd like for my birthday is to just have a nice day with my family, preferably under a warm april sun. I'd also like to spend more time with my friends instead of hermiting it up with my laptop. I don't know. Maybe in the next quarter century of my life I'll find a way to be more useful to society at large and more pleasant as a person.
