Had a full-on-ish weekend.
Sunday turned into the ‘get-nothing-done’ slum day again and I’m not happy.
Next weekend, I’m going out Sunday, if I can absolutely help it. I need to be tired before I go to bed.

Nothing much is happening, except – I ended up getting flights booked by Mum & Gran, so… Turns out I’m spending my 24th birthday in the Motherland. How… I dunno how I feel about that. I fear it would give the familial-units an excuse to force dinners and lunches and whatnot on me. I want to be free to choose who I hang around with.
I need to start making a rough itinerary, so that I don’t forget places I want to visit. I believe some perusal of mama’s tourism books is in order. Or perhaps, I can check whether roanri pranet has a recent publication. I’d be good – since it would have an up-to date map. Meh… I’ll be fine. I’ve got a wealth of human resources at my disposal.

So that’s that.

My old ‘Room Cleaning’ quest of a year and a half has now mutated into a desperate desire to rid myself of any and all belongings that no longer mean anything to me. I’m just sick of all the clutter, not that my room is that messy by usual society standards, but it’s still rather messy to me. I want to not have anything on my desk other than my laptop. Should I need to, remove it and put up all my art materials.
Yeah, it’s an old tune – but pin pointing the underlying issues and realizing that it’s not just a matter of ‘cleaning up’ the room, but rather – purging myself of items which are useless to me now, hold little to no meaning and are simply robbing me of space.

I missed the recent contest from , which was frustrating as I only realized the end date for it with only half a day to go. Add in the required sleep hours and there’s no way in hell I was going to be able to successfully produce something that would stand a chance of winning, regardless of how absolutely original my concept seemed to be.
I won’t disclose it because it’s my own, though some friends know of it and concurred that it was quite original. From what I glimpsed of the entries, it was one of the most original ideas. Everybody was beating the dead horses of ‘inner turmoil’, ‘angel vs demon’, which was disgustingly predictable. I had two concepts, with the one I was choosing being the best.

Oh well. Next time I see a contest I like – I’ll make a point of making several personal alarms in any form, so that I don’t miss out again.

|~=============================================~|

I bought myself a set of dumbbells only to have dad grumble at me that he has ‘everything’ of the sort up in the shed. Big wh00p, he let the awesome bench literally rot & rust, out in the rain and the rings on his dumbbells are wonky. I don’t like ‘em.
This arvo, I’ll take a look and if they’re half-decent, maybe I’ll just take back the weights. Goodness knows, $180 is good money, although I had planned to get these for months now.

Need to get JWhoa back in the panel-beaters after some twat came roaring down a freeway exit straight into the back of my STATIONARY car.
This was the Saturday before last.
"Oh... I didn't expect traffic to be backed up that far..."

1. ever heard of ‘Decrease Your Speed’ signs?
2. it’s called common-sense
3. remember the empty lane you had more than enough time to swerve into to avoid ramming into my car??

Seriously, it was bullshit. 24 hours after collecting it, it needed repairs again.
Sure, they’re almost non-visible, but it’s the utter annoyance of having to lose the car for another day, where they’ll proceed to shift my seat and mirrors around so I spend hours trying to put it back the right way.

I’m rather zombie-like today, since I impulsively decided at 11:40 pm to call up ~DoidaPorTi. That was smart. Sure, we had to revert to msn, since her phone didn’t like my international call, but still…
Not doing that again in a hurry. I’ve been half-decent with my sleep for a few weeks and I have to go and spoil it.

Anyway…
Over today already.

Ja, matta…
