OK its been over a month since my last entry. I thought it was more and was feeling extra guilty. This blog is becoming essential for my mental wellbeing – despite the lack of people who read it.
What can i say? so much has happened to me this months yet i cant think of a word to say. Christmas was kind of sucky. It was potentially very good – but something was missing this year. I just wasnt feeling christmassy – im never a christmassy person but i usually feel it a bit on the actual day. It’s one day though and its so overrated.
I’m not christian – and even if i was I’d be celebrating a capitalist festival rather than a christian one. Christmas is basically a time where it gets very cold, everyone flutters around like chickens buying junk and children are told ‘wonderful tales’ about a big fat red coca-cola man (how totally NOT WESTERN! =/) who comes down the chimney and gives them gifts (which have all been made by transnationals)
I guess cynicism really does take the magic out of it. New Years was good though. I went to my dads. Aunty Carol was there (my dads friend) and her daughter Sian came and went with her husband. It was a great night though. Loads of alcohol. Always a great start to a year. I need (and deserve!) it!
And for starters I can’t believe its 2010. When 2008 started I couldn’t believe it was 2008. It felt so alien and like futuristic. I felt like it shouldnt even be the millenium yet. Time was going too fast and 2008 seemed uncomfortably surreal…
And then to make things worse 2009 came to make me feel time-sick. Now 2010 has just taken that feeling to a new level (‘Time-sickness’ is my new word for this condition.)
I can currently hear my sister watching slumdog millionaire in her room. Cuz i can hear the autotuned JAI HOOOO-OOOOOOOOOOOO. Which may I add is extremely catchy (im not sure its for the right reasons)
Also here in the UK weve had a hella load of snow and ice ever since mid-late december – which means a lot of falling over and college closures due to ‘health and safety’. Of course we all feel cheated if were made to go in DESPITE the snow.
I’ve become reacquainted with many friends i hadnt talked to over christmas. Lately im going to cafes and drinking coffee with friends and having a good talk with them. I enjoy doing that. But it makes me feel like such an adult. I was saying to F the other day, “I can tell I’m becoming an adult cuz I drink coffee with friends and am addicted to eastenders”.
Speaking of that, I am missing my best friend quite a lot. We don’t talk as much as I would like to. It’s so weird – the people closest to us we take for granted – yet we miss them very quickly whilst seperated.
I am still listening to the saturdays. I dont watch the live vids from the work tour. It’s depressing cuz it makes me want to go back to the night. I will have to see them live again. Their new album is pretty damn good.
And also I am so crap at writing essays at college. Tutors always write “HOW?!?!” all over my essays. I tend to just flimsy around the point then go to the next one. Not getting good essay grades. But i think my writing on this blog is very too the point. I’m not a wordshaker (forgive the term – it’s a saturdays song) like I am at college. I think it helps when you enjoy and believe in what youre saying. It’s easier to cuz i don’t plan these at all. I just start typing and see what happens. It’s a brilliant outlet.
But I’ve outletted enough for now. There is more. But I don’t want to force it. That’s like choosing to have a premature birth. Peace out people. xyz
