nnyI have mp3s of John Sheppard laughing. MY LIFE IS COMPLETE.
I'm totally procrastinating on the tidying front, but I have hoovered and sorted various things, and my room is evidently the TARDIS since I now have more room than I did before I brought everything back from my temporary other house. And I bought more stuff when I was there.
Plans for the next while: WORK DAMNED HARD. With a secondary target of writing more, because I'm not as bad as I thought, which is awesome. Also, tomorrow I intend to go have a look at the gym near my school and see how much it'll cost to join until September, because I could not be eating more healthily, really - I live mostly on vegetables, salad and couscous, with occasional houmous or yogurt as a treat (and occasional complete rebellion when I visit friends' houses and eat through hangovers...) - and I'm still a hideous lardarse, so. Plus exercise is good for your brain chemicals, which could definitely be helpful.
The other thing I'm considering for the summer - since I have the money and that doesn't happen often - is learning to drive. I really loved working in a rural school but didn't so much like the fact that a half hour car journey took two and a half hours on public transport with three train changes. The thing that worries me about driving, though, is not being in charge of a car, or the physical act of driving, because I've had some lessons before and I was reasonably good at that. What bothers me is the fact that I will have to know not only where things are, but also where I am at any one point. I exist in a state of general uncertainty about my place within the universe, not only in the mental and spiritual planes but also physically. I tend to follow the same routes every time I go somewhere in case I look up and find I'm in Narnia. (Sometimes, though, I like to get lost. In case I do.)
I'd kind of be really sad to let that go.
