Mar. 25th, 2008 05:32 pmI 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.

Mar. 25th, 2008 10:34 pmOoooooh-kay.
Now we remember why it is a bad idea to move into a house without locks on the bedroom doors. I mean, yes, people borrowed my DVDs during the seven weeks I was elsewhere, and that's fine and I said they could do that and I have no problem with it. Just. When I left, I had a perfectly functioning copy of the Sims 2. I hadn't actually played it in months, because I've been busy working hard and doing my thing and - avoiding my thing and hiding under the covers and anyway. Key words: perfectly functioning copy.
I spent the last... er... 8 hours? Unpacking and cleaning and tidying and sorting paperwork and shopping and cooking and being efficient, and suddenly I decided that I'd worked hard enough and you know what would be fun? :O! SIMS!
CD's got a big-ass crack in it now and (unsurprisingly) won't work.
I kinda think I should go through my DVDs case by case, now - I've already discovered one disc of Bones missing - but to be honest I don't think I can face it. Don't want to know. It'll wait until the morning.
The flatmates are just lucky that they've all gone home for Easter, that's all I can say.
Now what do I do? I'd catch up on the three SG:A episodes that I haven't seen yet but new SG:A always stresses me out.
*kicks things*
I'm gonna go find something with a happy ending.
