Summer is summer like, and I'm to do summer school.
1st January 2004 - Circumcision of Our Lord.
OKay, I missed a few days, and I have no actual excuse.
I think the day after the last time I wrote I managed to exchange the game mum gave me for xmas and got The Sims: Makin' Magic. That would be all good except the game decided my nice official discs what I had all legitimately got wasn't the real CD, so I had to download a no-CD patch to make it work. I'm pretty sure as a legit owner I'm allowed to run a noCD patch for the game, I think.
For New Years eve last night I dragged Simon along to Midget's party. It was actually kind of fun, though I think Simon is probably of the opinion my friends are freaks. Not that he said anything, but I know I'd have thought that if I didn't know them. Then at midnight we were in the octagon to watch the city fireworks display - and were entertained the fact they accidentally set fire to a tree on the civic centre. Other than that the end of last year was spent playing The Sims.
Today I spent with extended family - but none of my immediate family. So it was actually pretty cool. I'm now tired, might explain today in detail later, I'm currently a bit too tired and sunburnt.
4th January 2004 - Oct. Holy Innocents, Martt.
Today I was in a very grumpy mood, and sat about watching DVDs as I didn't feel like playing Sims for the first time in ages. Then Si told me he had gone to RotK with someone else only days after we decided we'd go to it, and I was suddenly very, and irrationally, angry. Which is pretty not like me, considering how little I care about actually seeing the movie. At that point I realised I was super-grumpy. Possibly insane grumpy. So I organised to go wander over to my grandparent's for a visit and free dinner - which did wonders for my mood. The long walk - as they live way over the other side of town - really helped, and the hot joggers I passed along the way didn't hurt either.
And I start summer school tomorrow :(.
Anyway, on the first I went to my cousin Breffni's engagement party at her house on the beach in Harwood, and I got just a little burned, for all the sunscreen I had on. It was pretty cool, and Harwood is a very pleasant and safe beach to swim at.
The second I mostly just blobbed around playing The Sims: Makin' Magic, walking to Opoho to feed cats, had tea with Alana and generally didn't do much.
The third was the second but without the free food from Alana.
After I get some sanity, the next thing on my list of wants is a life.
Okay, I should go before I rant irrationally about irrational rantty crap.
And my stupid grumbling mood this morning was entirely induced by the stupidly warm weather and how much is messes with me. We hates the warm.
6th January 2004 - Epiphany of Our Lord
Summer school latin feels like third form, and the annoying mature student from my micro biology class last semester is in my latin class, and once again is asking stupid questions.
I could write more, but I'm too lazy for now, watching Buffy and having a Sims free day.
7th January 2004 - Keys of Septuagesima.
The annoying mature student in my Latin class is VERY annoying.
Other than my summer school class my life is entirely uneventful.
Ah well.
I might go off and sleep before I get irrationally grumpy at people for having lives, as I'm boring and no-one is entertaining me.
8th January 2004 - Mem. of Lucian, Presb. and his Compp.
I had a nice quiet day of doing laundry, playing on the net and watching about 12 hours of season five Buffy, maybe a little over. A day without latin classes is a good day.
And I think I'm coming down with something - which is not a happy thought. I always seem to get sick in the summer. I suspect it may actually be an allergy, although the symptoms are some what cold like - the every-year-ness of it makes me wonder.
Scary thing that happened today was looking at my window and seeing quite a clear face print in it. Lips, chin and nose all very visible, and very creepily those of someone looking into my room. It was someone a bit taller than me, but otherwise I have no clues, and it has me a little weirded out. I cleaned the outside of my window to get rid of it, it was not making me feel good.
So long as it doesn't happen again while my flatmate is on holiday, as that would be far too creepy.
11th January 2004 - Sun in Aquarius.
Before going to bed on Thursday night I finished watching Season 5 of Buffy, having only finished season 4 at lunch time on wednesday. It has all run together as one giant episode in my head. And what is disturbing is that Anya's juice speech in "The Body" still gets me.
Friday I had morning class then met Alana for lunch. We went to the new Indian place in the meridian, and we both got food poisoning. Which is not a good thing. Anyway, I didn't realise I'd been food poisoned until I was woken in the night by stomach cramps. On friday evening I went out for birthday nibbles at Bennu for Rachel. Then I came home sleep a tiny little bit and then be woken by stomach cramps and other effects of food poisoning best not mentioned in polite company.
Saturday I sat around in my flat feeling miserable.
Today I was a little better and went to RotK with Catriona. On the way there I bumped into "That-First-Year", who is now a fourth year, and who accused me of being a stalker - which wa entirely uncalled for. Appearantly going to the supermarket at the same time unknowingly makes me a stalker - who'd of known. Anyway, I went to Return of the King with Catriona, and I grumbled through the whole thing. It's one thing to make changes to the book to make it more movie-able, but they made changes that were against the feeling of the book and the characters, and which distracted from the flow of the movie. They really could have done a few bits of it much better.
And now I'm sitting around still feeling a bit gross and not studying for the Latin test I have tomorrow morning. I suck at vocab, so I really should be studying, but I still feel gross.
13th January 2004 - Oct. of Epiphany. Middle lessons of S. Hilary.
I'm bored of Latin, just a little. It's going okay, apart from the annoying mature student who I wish would die. I'm still not quite over the food poisoning, but I'm much better than I was.
I've been flatmate-less since Friday, and it's beginning to bug me. The food poisoning has been a good distraction from the loneliness - I don't handle loneliness well - but as I'm getting better I'm noticing how much there is just me in the flat. And my flatmates cat is pissing me off.
I guess I should just be happy that I have crumpled in pain from stomach cramps since last night.
Actually, I don't have much else to say, so bye.
16th January 2004 - Marcellus, Pope and Mart.
It's stupidly early, and I'm up because I was having guilt issues. I'm feeling guilty about being the way I behave around my ex, it makes me a crappy friend. I mean, I have all these stupid feelings which make it kind of explainable, except that came out wrong and just makes it sound like I'm trying to excuse things. They aren't excusable. Possibly understandable, but not excusable. I'm a crappy friend. Not only am I going to bad person hell, but I'm also heading toward whatever punishment is dished out to crappy friends. Yippee for me...
Okay, I'm ranting. But I'm having guilt - which is pretty common - but for once it is about things I've actually done - which is less common. And I'm possibly being irrational.
I think if I'm ever going to be a decent friend to my ex I have some serious getting over/moving on to do.
Stupid having feelings.
Maybe I need a lobotomy, and say goodbye to human emotion.
Anyway, to get away from ranting. Wednesday I had Latin and then came home and watched vids, enjoying the fact I'm recovering from the food poisoning. And I got an extra fun speech from my FormerBit about what I'm doing wrong in my life. Apparently it's my lack of casual sex with strangers. Something that would never have occured to me as a necessity of a normal healthy life. Or possibly it just points out the my FormerBit is a bit of a freak. I'm pretty sure even if I wasn't slightly prudish that I'd still not consider shagging strangers to be part of the ideal healthy lifestyle.
Yesterday I stuffed around watching vids and Dot visited and we watched the extended FotR (as she'd not seen it). In the evening I went around and visited my ex, and I was a complete freak. I'm a git. Entirely lead by my heart into being a crappy friend, I either need learn to suppress things better or move on and maybe even develop those kind of feelings for someone who hasn't already made it very clear that they aren't going to be returned.
Ok, I should go shower and get ready for class, otherwise I'm just going to start ranting again.
17th January 2004 - Sulpicius, Bp. and Conf. S. Antony, Conf.
I'm sick of summer. I could do with some blustery cold and rain.
And I've broken out in zits, not fun. I think it might be a physical manifestation of my guilt. I think watching Sister Mary Explains It All possibly didn't help with the mental place I've since managed to put myself in. Maybe I'm just insane.
Today has been too warm and all I've done is lie around watching Invader Zim. I was going to write some stuff up for Meg, which I was supposed to do months ago, but then realised my new 'puter still doesn't have Frontpage, and if I'm going to do it for her, I want to make it all nice and web ready. And I'm looking for reasons to be lazy and not do it yet. I am SO lazy.
I'm gonna go blob the night away, can't be bothered doing anything - possibly depressed. Dunno. Weird mood anyway. Kind of flat, so it could be depressed. Meh, I guess it doesn't really matter.
19th January 2004 - Wulfstan, Bp. Conf.
I got 100% in the latin test I had today. Go me.
Haven't really been upto much other than classes. Also a touch depressed, not helping hugely.
Yesterday was too insanely warm, and my 'puter started playing up. I think its little fan wasn't handling me making it do stuff on such a frelling hot day. I know I wasn't handling doing anything. At some stage I'll have to ask Si if that could explain the beeping coming from inside the case.
Anyway, it's late and I've been avoiding doing my translation for class in the morning, I should go do some work.
22nd January 2004 - Vincent, Mart.
I'm so fat.
My FormerBit made comments to the effect that I look like I've lost weight - which being that I haven't and it was coming from a chubby chaser, I'm taking as an insult.
Tuesday I had classes and was supposed to meet up with the FormerBit, who is down for a couple of days, in the afternoon. That didn't pan out, so after class I came home and played some Sims.
Wednesday I had my first lecture, then morning tea with the FormerBit, it was actually quite nice and it seems we get along well enough that we should actually make okay friends, which is nice to know. Then class again, followed by a student rep meeting (which was actually kind of fun). Then I visited Dot before going home and blobbing till dinner at Alana, followed by going to town for the Chinese New Year thing with Alana, Lyall, Oli and Briget. It was kind of fun - and the fireworks were good.
Today I blobbed, helped Midget move a little, and had dinner with my family.
27th January 2004 - Julian, Bp. and Conf.
Haven't really done much at all in ages. Just going to Latin and sitting around at home being fat.
I got my lowest mark so far in this weeks Latin test. Darn it, only 96%. Okay, I'm not actually THAT cut up about it. :-Þ
Other than that I've not much to mention. The Midget is now living on my block, which so far hasn't led to any horrible deaths, but it is early days yet. I think I'm getting on her nerves, as she seems to be perpetually annoyed at me.
Actually, over the weekend, for the first time in the two years I've been in my flat, I wandered the neighbourhood and introduced myself to neighbours. A tiny little dog turned up in my flat and I was trying to locate where it came from. Eventually I got it safely home. In the process meeting a hottie next door and someone I knew through Des a few houses away.
I wonder if Des is still alive. I guess so, I'm sure I'd have heard through someone if he wasn't.
I'm in a weird mood. Not sure why.
Oh, I got free hot chocolate out of a classmate today. I'm not sure if he is trying to make friends or just wanted help with the homework assignment. And I'm not too worried either way, I got a free hot chocolate, which is all that matters.

29th January 2004.
I'm wearing the world's ugliest flannelette PJs, I got rained on walking home and my clothes were soaked, but as it's late it seemed stupid to dirty up a whole nother set of clothes. So I've broken out the PJs that are normally just for when Tina is staying.
Yesterday I had class, and in the evening got paid in roast dinner for putting mouse traps in my mother's roof.
Today I went to the doctors to get my meds renewed and he decided to weigh me. I'm now officially obese by almost 3kg. A bit depressing. Anyway, I then went to WINZ, as they still haven't paid me and it is getting desperate, my savings are greatly diminished. They said it should be sorted and I should be back paid by monday. Heres hoping. Then I had lunch with my father and a relative from overseas whom I had never met. It was quite cool, and she reminded me a bit of one of Dad's sisters. This evening I was token boy at Rachel's hens night, and it was coming home from that that got me rained on. Anyway, I should go sleep, I have to get up early and do a latin assignment.
