My lack of updating could lead anyone who cares enough to form an opinion about me to think that nothing ever happens in my life, or that i have no life at all. And although such an assumption may not be too far removed from the truth, it's not entirely accurate. There have been a few significant events in the course of the past two months, which haven't been put down in this journal due to pure laziness and my habit of procrastinating; significant, of course, being a relative term, ie. significant to my own little life, but not particularly significant to...the course of history for example.
ANYWAY...Christmas has come and gone, bringing and taking with it various forms of Christmas cheer. And despite my decidedly cynical attitude towards that overly happy and fluffy time of year, i found myself caught up in the general atmosphere; mentally picking out presents (and determinedly forgetting that i didn't have nearly enough money), smiling at fat mechanic santas in shop windows, and singing along to cheesy christmas carols under my breath.
My father has also come and gone, as has my friend; the arrival and departure of each bringing forth a rather conflicting range of emotions. With Anna i got to visit some wild and wonderful parts of Ireland like Killarney and Dubin.
I shamefully admit that while the rest of the world was popping champaign bottles, and lighting up the sky with fireworks while counting down the seconds to the new year, i was sound asleep, shattered from the trip to Dublin. Quite pathetic really, given all the hype for New Year's.
With Christmas over, there came the sales, which caused me to embark on an unprecedented shopping rampage. I spend a... sinful... amount of money on clothers and the like; money which could have been used for much better things. 'A lot of money' again being a relative term, ie. alot relative to what i or anyone of my age and financial status would spend. It's typical that i should feel guilty and remember the starving millions after i bought the stuff and used it just enough to make it past refund. So after a short period of being unusually loaded, i'm back to my accustomed state of permanently broke.
And now, back in school, i've resumed the monotonous trek through life, wishing every day away until saturday, which comes and goes too soon... *sigh*
