hathycolHello shiny world.
For many assorted and slightly bizarre reasons involving LJ dying on me and then essentially having no free time, I feel a bit like I've been cut off from the world. Work has just, frankly, gone insane - now the drains have gone and there's nothing more fun than hauling buckets of water around and breaking most known health and safety rules. The thing si, though, people remain oddly cheerful whilst I just want to die. I'm not hating working there, but I'm ever so glad there's only another three weeks to go. The drains thing is goin to become a major issue when pretty much all of my job involves washing up.
Anyway. Today is the second of my two days off, and I spent the last two nights eating out. I feel ever so decadent, but to be fair, Simon's parents paid for Saturday night and I did my usual thing of "OH GOD WHAT IS THE CHEAPEST THING ON THE MENU THAT I CAN EAT" so I feel a bit less guilty. Fortunately, because Simon's parents do not have a Catholic heritage and somewhat twisted morality, I also spent the last two nights there. This was nice, and I'm getting a bit less twitchy around his family.
Now, however, he is on the road for NYO-related stuff. (I am refusing to be Teh Emo about this, because it is only two weeks, I am used to this, and it's not a though all I have to look forward to after those two weeks is just a weekend together, because it remains as the summer. Hurrah!) Because I am annoying like this, I will now take a moment to pimp Prom 30 which will be on the telly and I will be in the audience and Simon will be playing in. Gomehim!
Anyway, pimpage aside, today is also Megan's birthday. She is sixteen years of age and this terrifies me beyond belief. I bought her a Panic! At The Disco CD so I've done my sisterly duty. Unfortunately, the passing of my sister's birthday means that it's my birthday in about three weeks. Buggar. Well, not buggar, obviously, but people keep on asking me what I want, and honestly, I'm not fussed. Just a card would do, if I'm honest. There's nothing in particular I want, past the usual bunch of CDs, but even that I'm not too fussed about. Mostly, I just want some money. Is that terrible? And I know I'd complain if no one got me anything, but... eh. I think I'm too old for birthdays. How terrible.
Ho hum. I'm starving. What to eat? Choices, choices...

Date: 2006-07-23 09:26 pm (UTC)...that was a bit long and depressing really, oops.
I wanted to go to that Prom! It has Sibelius and other fun stuff, and most importantly is on a Saturday, so I will not be working, but unfortunately I will be in Durham instead, so bugger. Ah well. Enjoy! I shall probably listen at some point, if I remember.
