Lithium
Ah yes, Lithium, now I listen to it heaps. Glorious. But so depressing. Which is the mood I often take pleasure in, when it takes me, or at least thoughtfully, and of course when I have no motivation not to - ‘I want to stay in love with my sorrow’ - ah Amy Lee, you’re a god.
I wish I were even half as talented in putting things into words like she does.
And even ¼ as good looking.
Lithium, and pretty much all the other songs on the album are blissfully depressing.
Tends to make me nostalgic, in a rather heart breaking way.
I guess I better get onto other, brighter things, so here we go:
Well i must say, my house is sparkling, clean that is, not glittery. Which means i'm one of a few things:
a. An emotional wreck from boredom, nervousness or just a tad depressed
b. Have an assignment to do
And whether it is regrettable or not, today it’s the latter. i really have to stop avoiding my school work by doing other work. It will all get done on time, i know that, and of late I have actually had things being finished/at least started quite ahead of time. But as depressing as this sounds: it would be nice to have them both finished so I can start my exam study….dun dun duhhhh. But really, that and sleeping, because these are my last two assignments.
Yup, the last two, and naturally they are both major ones, one a Gender Studies essay worth 35% and the other a Psychology experiment write-up for 20%…..
And so what is libby doing on her Sunday off when she should be doing these?
Well,
1. She is writing a live journal post, that’s a few paragraphs worth of essay that could have been done
2. Cleaning the kitchen, bathroom, and, strangely, clearing up Rosie’s stuff
3. Drinking vast amounts of tea (it takes a nice 5 minutes in the kitchen and it means i turn music on:
4. Listening to music, you have to finish the whole song, duh.
5. Preparing dinner, and that’s still six hours away
6. i have done two, not one, two, loads of washing, both have been put out, one taken in and FOLDED!
7. Watered the plants
8. Labelled containers in the fridge, that’s perhaps the worse because its not like you couldn’t guess what most things were, and who ever knew that currants are supposed to go in the fridge anyway?
And many, many other wastes of time. Shocking hey?
Still, the work gets done, it’s just that ones due on Thursday, the other Friday, so I just don’t have that ‘oh my god this will never get finished’ mentality spurring me on.
As far as this morning goes that’s about it, apart from taking a Centrum and showering. Oh, I mean ‘popping a pill’, well, not quite, for those of you who don’t know, Centrum is a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement (supp). Which is packed with heeeeaps of things, I find it hard to believe that they can squish so many vitamins&minerals into one, slightly oversized orange pill. But its ‘Complete from A to Zinc, with 27 different things. So I’m impressed with it, can’t you tell I seem to be raving to waste time, subconsciously mostly.
And to continue wasting time, perhaps i will have to tell you about my week
Hrmm, well on Friday I went to see ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ and as always, Meryl Streep rocked, I reckon it was pretty good and worth seeing, amusing, even though I didn’t like the end. This one girl is on a diet where she eats nothing until she feels like she is about to faint, and then she eats a cube of cheese, that’s dedication, perhaps I’ll try that one with the centrum, heh.
But oh God, you have to see the Chanel boots that the main girl wears, whoa, I have no idea where they end but they disappear under a very mini-skirt, so that was pretty thrilling. Can you tell I like boots? Stuff Manolo Blahniks and Jimmy Choos, if you can wear those boots, you’re the girl for me. Well, in a very superficial world anyhow.
And Meryl Streep (Miranda) is such a bitch, it’s great.
While at the movies I went on those stupid skill testers, and as always won the jackpot, its almost a little mundane these days, I’m not blasting my own trumpet here, but gawd, I always win them; at AMF bowling, Intensity and wherever else they wish to put the flashing lights and ticket dispensers, watch out, cause I win. At most it usually takes me 3 goes and then once you have won, I find it useless to play again because the jackpot goes down to a stingy 50 tickets. Dang, I have, over 1000 of those AMF tickets cause I never bother spending them. But in Intensity, I got 3 (one for me, Rosie and Jessica) of those cute and rather disgusting little animals that squeeze goop out their backside, very charming and mature :-P and along with that I had another 50 or so tickets which I let Rosie buy a handful of bugs which are now stuck on her bedroom wall.
Wow, I talk about crap when I am wasting time too eh?
Pretty sad though, I go to the movies with my sister and her girlfriend. All the same, it’s a lot of fun, with a teaspoon of melancholy with my large diet coke…and I wanted a lollypop, but they don’t sell them at the movies nowadays, isn’t that a gyp?
But Gaz called me afterwards with good news so I was chuffed enough for an evening. Then went home and watched The Little Mermaid.
As far as the rest of the weekend goes, i haven’t done much at all, I had great intentions of doing more work yesterday evening but Jessica decided to make a surprise visit so we watched Beauty and the Beast as well as The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
So really, a very Disney weekend, which is fine by me because I love it.
Onto much more exciting and wonderful things, seeing as my weekend was not particularly eventful, I bought The Open Door, (Evanescence’s new album) so it’s been on constant repeat all through the house, when I think I can be absent from work, in the kitchen, in the bathroom and in my room when I’m getting changed/looking for something.
Ah yes, it’s beautiful. And very depressing and full of angst, as Evanescence music should be. And as I shouldn’t go on about as I already had my spiel about Lithium.
Oh, and on Friday, i happened to be down in the Law building waiting for Rosie to get her essay back, where I perused all of the election campaigns for this years TULs (a law society) and to tell the truth some of them were actually pretty amusing, perhaps you had to be there? But one girl, with a friendly face and the phrases, of course mocking, her attempt at the position of IT manager for TULs (School Law thiiiiing)
“Did you try turning it off and on?”
and
“Who is General Failure and what is he doing reading my hard drive?”
yup, i was impressed. And had great intentions of voting one, Lisa Lime, was it Lisa? Either way, my intentions didn’t get anywhere, i think the voting ended that day and no one was manning the office, slack as.
By the way my mind clicks I could swear I was manic.
Perhaps that’s right.
Cascades, like wonderful acid on the brain.
And unlike my annoying habit of counting left over from my more OCD days. I can still amazingly quickly count whatever I am looking at. Only these days I tend to be able to switch my brain away from it which is pleasing and no where near as mentally deadly in stress as it use to be.
Maybe I should go back and look at my resolutions in the next few posts, that would be a nice waste of time. Or perhaps an important one, as I have said before, life is all about self-improvement.
If only I could write an essay as fast as I can churn out these posts. It seems I’m only manic in things like this, or perhaps it’s just things I know about, its hard to cascade thoughts when you need to think about them ;-)
Sadly, because, well this post is just as long as my Psychology write-up needs to be…without the hundreds of formatting rules which my arse will be kicked for if I miss them out….
Get back to work libby.
Well everyone, have a beautiful day, and I urge you to get ‘The Open Door’ particularly if your in the mood for soul-searching, or even just a tad on the depressed side.
