A Long Ramble...
I am currently bored out of my mind, typing in Word. My comp has gone a bit weird, as I’ve got the page set on justified, and, for some odd reason, it is spreading my words out along the line until they all have normal spacing, once I’ve typed enough words. It’s never done this before, or at least not that I have noticed and I am oddly entranced. Yet, that is not why I started typing this…
I am basically doing this because I am actually bored out of my mind, yet not bored enough to actually do some work, despite the fact that I have plenty to do. It really isn’t good, but I can’t help it. Until it comes to the point when I can’t put the work off for another moment, I won’t do it. A very bad habit, I know, but that’s me for you. I’m not proud of it…but it’s just the kind of attitude that I have developed in the last two years, and I just can’t get rid of it.
If you are wondering, I am seriously just rambling at the moment, due to a lack of anything productive to do. There is no actual point to any of this, and if you just want to ignore it, feel free. I’m even not really in the mood to ramble, which is normally what I do when I’m bored. I don’t know what is up with me…I’m just so bored!
I read one of my books, Empress Orchid. That is what I managed to do for most of today…when not on the phone or watching TV or lazing about. Its good, and not in the least bit sordid or…explicit. I really liked it, and the best bit is that the authors note says that all the characters are based on real people, and all the events as accurate as possible. Its got me so interested in the history of China…I really don’t know what it is, but I’m just fascinated. There are so many places in the world with equally fascinating backgrounds, but its China that really interests me. Like I said, it may be due to my close friends usually being Chinese, nothing I aim for, but just happens…

That was written Thursday night, if I recall correctly…it’s now Sunday, once again am bored, despite the mountain of work that I have yet to do. Not in the best of moods…parents are being annoying and saying I go out too much, I can’t stand to talk to Susan for more than 5 minutes without yelling at her…and I have lots of work and no incentive to do any of it.
Since my last post…went to Dru’s party and s/o on Friday. That was fun…we met up early, before the guys were out of school (they have their half-term hols this week) and went to see Casanova. It’s a good film to laugh at, because the acting is quite crap. I hate Sienna Miller…don’t know why, but she annoys me so much. And her acting is awful, in my opinion. The storyline was interesting, if not a tad predictable, but I’ve never read the stories about Casanova, and didn’t see the documentary thing that the BBC did recently either. But it was fun…some parts made us all cringe, but, as Lainie pointed out, looking down the row of us (there were 9 people, I think) it was hilarious just watching everyone’s faces!
After that, we went and ate at Frango’s, our usual hangout. The people there know us, because we’ve been going a couple of times a month for over a year now. The cool waiter dude was there, who gave us free drinks, which was nice of them. And they let us sit in the smoking area, since there was such a large group of us, but, as there were no smokers, it just meant we got the area to ourselves. We had a pretty fun meal…me, Ju and Neshma were on one end of the table, and had a rather hilarious discussion about a load of random things…and we randomly tuned in to the discussions going on on the rest of the table. G-l, who didn’t come to the film, came and joined us, wearing a very cool hat (=D) and we ended up sitting there for nearly 2 hours, just chatting, waiting for the guys to finish school.
Met the guys at the bus stop, then got bus to ju’s. Randomly chatted and played games there…unfortunately for me, I get moody at parties. Don’t know what it is exactly, but little things start bugging me. And I always have an urge to clean…I think it’s because whenever there are parties that I go to with my families, they tend to be the kind of occasion where everyone has little plates with their snack food, and though we have tons of fun, we kind of immediately tidy up any mess that is made, all empty plates and stuff go straight into the bin and the place is just…clean. And when things are clean, there is less of a chance for accidents to happen and big tips to be made. So whenever I am at a party, I’m always tidying up sweet wrappers and stuff, and throwing rubbish into the bin…because otherwise it annoys me.
Anyway, people were telling me to stop tidying, which tends to annoy me more, because if I just cleaned up whatever it is that annoys me, then it won’t be there to bug me, and so that set me off as being a bit peeved. I was also in charge of organising the party, just because it tends to be something I do, because I like organising things…probably because I hate it when things aren’t organised as well as they could be. I’m a bit of a control freak, I guess…but anyway. I was organising food and stuff, and the money people owe me for Ju’s present (which is a graphics tablet) which kind of had me a bit more stressy, making sure I had the right money, that no one was going to go hungry and all that.
And since I was so stressy, little things started to annoy me. I wasn’t allowed to sit with Nick, though to be fair, I decided that as Ju is not well receptive of couples, so I thought that I would make sure she stayed happy by telling the couples (of which there are only 3) to kind of keep apart, instead of sitting in a corner snogging, or whatever, which does happen at some parties. He was slightly peeved about that, just because we haven’t spent any real time together for ages, and the one chance we get, I tell him we are not allowed.
But that meant instead I had to sit there and watch him chat to all the other girls, and have a laugh with them, instead of with me. To be fair, he had to do the same, and I realised yesterday talking to him, that despite the fact we weren’t together for most of the time, we still managed to know what the other person was doing…its hard to explain to the people that don’t know the situation, but basically one of the guys and me pretend that we are ‘together’ because it gets a laugh (bear in mind that in our group, everyone tends to have a ‘thing’ with at least 5 other people, half of whom are of the same sex, just because its funny…which, I guess, makes no sense unless you know my friends) but he only really does it because it tends to get Nick a bit annoyed. For example, on Friday, he came up to me and we were just chatting and he put his arm around me, but then looked and noticed that Nick wasn’t watching, and said something along the lines of ‘this is no fun when Nick isn’t watching’
I mentioned that to Nick, the fact that he only does it because it annoys him, and Nick said that he knew. Because he had noticed every time that the guy had talked to me, but just pretended he hadn’t been paying attention. Which is how I came to realise that we both did the same thing…
God, I am rambling a lot. Basically, the party was great, after the guys left we played truth and also this funny game which decided what we person will be like in the future (hard to explain, but fun to play) and just chatted for ages. We then all got changed into our pj’s and set ourselves up for bed, and watched a film (What a Girl Wants- purely for the Colin Firth factor) and then, at 4am, tried to fall asleep, which didn’t happen until we had a bunch of hysterics, when one person started laughing, for no apparent reason, and that set half of us off and we couldn’t stop for a good 15 minutes, until Ju threatened to throw us all out if we didn’t shut up.
I had a broken sleep, waking up millions of times, and half way though the night, Ju (who had been sleeping on a chair) muttered about her foot having gone dead, to which I told her to grab her duvet and join me on the floor… I woke up properly at 8am, to see that one other girl (Tat) was awake and we both chatted for a bit. It was odd, because I had thought it was more like midday, because I felt as if I had got a really good full sleep, even though I couldn’t have slept for more than 3 hours in total. At 9, however, we both kind of just managed to fall back asleep, and were all woken up at 10, by a friends alarm, as she had to leave at 10:30. Then Ju set about sorting out breakfast, and at the word, everyone (bar 1 or 2) scrambled out of bed to get the chocolate crossiants, as there was a limited supply…it was hilarious, seeing all these lumps that we thought were still asleep suddenly fling themselves across the room. Chocolate does that to a girl.
We left around 11, me and g-l, and wandered around Kingston for an hour, until g-l had to meet her mum and I needed to get the bus home. We had a good chat, which I love, about a load of random things…it was fun.
Came home, slept some more, did a bit of work, then everyone apart from me went to the shops, so I stopped working and read a book. After my parents came home, empty handed as the shop had had a power failure just as they were going to pay, we made dinner and then after sitting online playing games for a bit, I continued with my book, then talked to Nick and fell asleep. Now I’m sure you’re bored, so I’ll stop rambling now. My posts are always miles long…
