Summertime, and the living is boring
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together. See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly. I'm crying. Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come. Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday. Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long. I am the eggman, they are the eggmen. I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob. Mister City Policeman sitting Pretty little policemen in a row. See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run. I'm crying, I'm crying. I'm crying, I'm crying. Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye. Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess, Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down. I am the eggman, they are the eggmen. I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.
2nd January 2002
The night of the 30th my Aunt Maggie, her husband Edwin, and their son/my cousin Duncan turned up and crashed for the night, so I had a decent catch up on stuff. I don't see then often at all. I doubt I've seen Duncan in five years. He went and grew up too, which was freaky.
I spent a far whack of the day time of New Year's Eve, stuffing around, and then headed down to the stupermarket to buy beverage to take partying. On the way I stopped at Alana's and stayed chatting to her for ages, after after shopping, I darted home and got changed from the night on the town, before returning to her place for a very yummy dinner. I SO want to swap mother's with her. Anyway, we then headed off to Midget's party.
The Midget's weird muso friends scare me. And one of them who is also friends with Bob is just a chamber-wench, plain and simple, with an emphasis on simple. The party wasn't TOO bad, I got a good chat in with Rachel, which made it all good, as I rarely see her anymore - darn her finding someone. Then after Claire's thing we headed in to the Octagon for the countdown and foreworks, all of which were pretty miscellaneous, though I had a load of fun wandering around with Rachel and Alana, and eventually walking Alana home.
Yesterday I did fun stuff like laundry, though the weather was pretty patchy so nothing dried. And I stuffed around a bit, watched my Gremlins DVD, played Alpha Centauri and messed with the faction editor for it. It was something to do. In the evening I walked into town to check on Becky's, and meet up with Si, who was feeling the need to go walking. It was actually a really nice wander through the back streets of town, and the evening was warm and the sunset was damn amazing. And we had a nice talk about pretty random stuff, including a bunch of stuff I probably should have already know, but somehow never found out.
Today I've stuffed around at home, watched Monsters Inc again, this time off VCD, where it has a little mini-movie at the start, also by Pixar, which Hoyts didn't give when I saw it. I played some puter games, and defragmented mum's hard drive in an attempt to make the CD burner not play up (I was following all the suggestions the program gave after it errored on me). I've also been having something of a bad head stuff day, but that's something of a norm for me of recent decades.
Someday I really have to get over my ex, we've been apart over three years, I really need to get over it all. Especially as I'm having chronic have-my-cake-and-eat-it-too issues at the moment. I really don't want to do anything that will screw up the friendship, but I still really want it to be something more than just a friendship, which is pretty much insane on my part. I actually decided on Monday that that was what my New Year's resolution was going to be. Admittedly the only New Year's resolution I ever keep was the one I made at the end of 1998, and that was to be a nastier person and stop letting people walk all over me as much. And I'm pretty sure I mostly managed it. I only let people walk over me when I don't care now, which is mostly always, but, oh well.
I am kinda depressed today. Which isn't good, coz I'm in that screwy "I should be alive" place, and that can't be the healthiest place to be. But them I'm way too much of a wuss to actually do myself in, and if I tried I'd probably fail at it, and just end up looking stupid-er.
And the CD writer still won't burn the stuff I want it too. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.
And my mood really isn't good, soI'm off to bed.
Today's quote from "I Am The Walrus" by The Beatles.
not that I mean to pry in what looks like your journal. But really, its quite amusing.
I actually thought the the entries varied between a man and a woman. I know, how peculiar. Anyhow, thanks for posting it. I'll save this among my favorites and check back at various intervals to see how your life is going. Justine

Damn I suck at keeping this thing up to date.
Mostly the last week was pretty uninteresting. Thursday I walked to my Grandparents for lunch, and then to Midget's for a visit in the afternoon. So I got good exercise in, before burning myself with hot fat making tea. Grrrrrrumble.
Friday I stuffed about the house, then headed into town in the evening to buy tea and spend some gift vouchers, and ended up playing cards at Si's neighbours with a bunch of people, and not spending any of my vouchers or having tea. But I'm too fat anyway, so a missed meal isn't really a worry.
Saturday, I'm sure I did something, but I'm pulling a blank, though I know I made really garlicky rice for tea, and it was good. Wait, I remember, I went into town in the morning, and bought a book of the whole of Lord of the Rings in one volume, so I can look up the foot-noted stuff.
Sunday I spent the day with Alana, and eventually Aaron aswell. It was good, and Alana's mum made tea, which is always good. I want to swap mothers with her. And I didn't leave her place till after 2am.
Yesterday, I went into varsity and tried to find out about my hons project, but they are all being slackers in the English department. In the evening I was kidnapped by Midget and Rachel and taken out to Bennu for hot chocolate. It was a nice end to the day.
Today I read a chunk more of Volume II of LOTR, went to lunch with "Nice" Peter, went to town and decided I couldn't afford anything, and bought mince on the way home. Then I made spagetti bolognese (well, egg noodle bolognese, the spagetti looked a bit cruddy) for tea, and it was all good. I'll be having it for lunch tomorrow too.
Anyway, I'm expecting Wormgirl to turn up. So, bye.
Today's quote is an email I got from someone, I can't decide if I'm insulted or not..
your page came up on a web search so i checked it out....you seem like a really cool guy. well, you're a sagi so that is to be expected (i love sagi's....caring, happy, positive people) so i thought i would drop a line and express my appreciation for your appreciation (?) for musical lyrics (you picked some excellent songs to post). anyways, guess that's all. bye, katie

Well, Wormgirl didn't show, but there was a message on the answer phone warning me, I just hadn't checked it.
Wednesday the weather was very crappy, so I didn't make it further than the stupermarket all day. I basically just played 'puter games and fluffed around. Playing WAY too much Alpha Centauri: Alien Crossfire, mostly.
Thursday, much the same as Wednesday. Damn the weather. Though I did decide I had to venture to the Warehouse to buy blank videos, and in the process visit Alana at work, and Oli at his flat.
Friday, the weather looked better so I headed to my grandmother's for lunch. It was nice but on the way home the weather packed in again, and I was without anything waterproof. And so I was rather wet by the time I was going through town, and even wetter when I got home. In the evening I visited Nina and Paddy and watched them paint their room bright red. And Becky dropped me home, due to the rain.
Yesterday, well, I stuffed around most of the day, and in the evening my family returned from their weeks away. Within ten minutes I was sick of them. I want then to go away on holiday again. Then after Star Trek I headed to Nina's, and went with her, Paddy, Becky and Kez to see Ocean's Eleven, which is a damn fun watch, and there aren't too many plot holes either. Not what I'd call a great movie, but a good, fun watch. Afterwards Nina dropped me home.
Today I've done huge amounts of nothing.
Today's quote is another email I got from someone..
When I was young I never needed anyone And making love was just for fun Those days are gone Livin' alone I think of all the friends I've known When I dial the telephone Nobody's home
20th January 2002
Ergh, it's been a week, yet I have bugger all to write.
Last Sunday, I had tea at my grandparents, and then went to Alana's in the evening to watch The Avengers off TV with her and Aaron.
Monday..... I don't really remember all that much, so I doubt I did too much.
Tuesday, I went shopping with Aaron and Alana and bought absolutely nothing except a pile of junk food. Though I did finally return most of Catriona's Angel tapes.
Wednesday, I went shopping with Midget and got a preent for Rachel's 21st organised. It took us AGES.
Thursday I babysat, so was nice and warm at home, playing 'puter games, while in town it was flash flooding the CBD.
Friday I again went shopping with Alana and Aaron. It was kinda fun, but as usual resulted in junk food consumption. Then we visited Oliver for AGES, which was fun, and I found the perfect birthday present for Simon, I just can't track down one to buy, damn it. In the evening I went shopping with Tina for a while, and then watched Scream with her and her flatties (Bruno and someone I don't know all that well).
Yesterday I stuffed around, and then Fluffy visited and I burnt a CD for him, and then copied a few of his for my lil beast of a brother. And ended up running late for my ride to Rachel's party, fortunately my ride was running just as late. Rachel's party was great, though her family kept feeding us, and I ate WAY too much, I ended up feeling very gross. Especially after the number of brandsnaps and chocolate claires I ate. And after a very fun and sugar filled night, Rachel's mum dropped me home, so I didn't even get any exercise to burn the sugar off, and felt kind sick and couldn't sleep.
Today I'm grumpy. Well, I was until Tina visited, then the day got better, and we watched some of that last box of Angel tapes, which at some stage I shall have to return to Catriona. And Fluffy came to get a few of his CDs back. I should have gone to town today, to try and track down what I've decided to get Si for his birthday, but I didn't, and I have no idea when I'll get the chance again, I might have to take my beastly lil brother into town with me one day while I'm baby-sitting him.
Anyway, I might go play some more Pokemon Crystal, or maybe watch some more Ranma½.
Today's quote is All By Myself by Eric Carmen.
I've been biding my time Been so subtly kind I've got to think so selfishly 'Cos you're the face inside of me I've been biding my days You see Evidently it pays I've been a friend with unbiased views Then secretly lust after you So now you feel rusty you're bored and bemused You wanna do someone else So you should be by yourself Instead of here with me Secretly Trying hard to think pure Bloody hard when i'm raw You're talking out so sexually About boys and girls And your friggin' dreams So now you feel lusty you're hot and confused You wanna do someone else So you should be by yourself Instead of here with me Secretly
23rd January 2002
Monday, I had Tina over to visit and we watched a tape of Angel, it was fun. Then I got ready while she went home and dolled up, for our date. I had the voucher I'd won to use, and Tina's easy. The food was good, but after drinks and entrees, we barely had any room for our actual meals, and thus we both left lots on our plates. Afterward we went to her place and watched a video with her flatmate, Bruno (who lent me FFIX, which I've been playing since).
Spend yesterday morning playing Final Fantasy IX and then headed into town, finally got Simon's birthday present, visited Oliver, and made my lil brother walk (Mwahahahahahahahaaaaa).
Today, I've done some laundry, so I'll have clothes for my trip (I should hopefully be out of here tomorrow), and played more FFIX.
Yay, I should be out of here tomorrow :o).
