I was supposed to go to Selkirk today to pick up a job application and do some shopping at Wal-Mart and Canadian Tire for the family. Sadly, the weather decided not to co-operate and I was forced to stay home. Booo.
Played Guitar Hero for an hour or so, that was fun. I get fairly good scores on medium, but when I mess up it's because I've done something stupid like confuse the yellow and red buttons. I must have some kind of mental block when it comes to these colours! Also, my hand does NOT open wide enough (or my pinky finger is not strong enough) to hit the blue button with any sort of speed or strength. Anything faster than 1/4 and I fail hardcore with the blue button.
I do enjoy playing, though, despite my shortcomings. It's a nice way to spend an hour on my feet instead of my ass. xD
Tomorrow I will bust out the DDR, though, I think. I've had a craving for a while now and I need to lose some weight. Might as well kill two birds with one stone! I just want to be careful that I don't hurt myself before I go to MTA, the last thing I want is for that trip to be cancelled. It's pretty much all I've got to look forward to right now. I guess I should start thinking of things to look forward to for when I get back from my trip so I don't fall into an emo pit.
What do you do when you need some excitement in your life, when you need something to look forward to? How do you find new things to do?
My website statistics page says that I had somewhere in the region of 65 pageviews yesterday, wow! Certainly wasn't expecting to see that many.
I've received a few lovely comments from people who have seen this website, and it's truly heartwarming to hear from everyone! It's amazing to think that a person can just throw a few words up on a tiny corner of the internet and connect with people all over the world.
The connection is really what I was looking for when I started this website (it's funny how I say that as though I've been doing this for ages, when it's only been maaaaybe a week) and so far I have been very pleasantly surprised by how many people I've heard from and how many other blogs I've been introduced to through Weebly.
That being said, I would love to hear from you if you're checking out the website! Even if you hate it, let me know what you think I can improve. Or even just introduce yourself. Meeting new people is great fun!
If I were to end my blog posts with a question (such as this one!), would it inspire you to leave a comment? What other things could I do to make this blog/website more interesting? Let me know! ♥
I had great things planned for today.
I was going to get up nice and early, have a shower, run some errands... pick up and fill out a job application, buy parking passes for when I start up evening courses at the college.
I read a couple articles in a recent Maclean's this morning that I wanted to write a blog post on.
I had a discussion with my family over supper that I also felt like writing something about.
Does it look like I've done any of that?
No. Instead of doing something productive (or even semi-productive) with all my free time, I spent the day reading Harry Potter fanfiction and making half-assed posts on avatar forums.
I also spent quite a bit of time feeling sorry for myself. This seems to be a frequent occurrence these days, and I hope it's only because I'm PMSing or something. I don't particularly enjoy feeling put out, especially when I know that I don't really have anything to complain about. Yes, my life has been thrown around recently because of these medical issues. Yes, there are certain aspects of my life that suck hardcore right now, but there's nothing that I can do about it. And there's no point in crying over spilled milk, right? But sometimes that's all I feel like doing. I just want to feel sorry for myself, I want to throw myself a pity party, I want to gorge on all these high-fat, high-carb foods, I want to be a whiney, weepy, pathetic mess. I want someone that I can be a whiney, weepy, pathetic mess with - without feeling guilty about it!
But then, that's wishful thinking. It's time to be an adult now, and I guess that means learning to deal with this on my own.
I'm trying, guys.
Today I decided to start up a new blog, on a new website. Mostly because I am sick of using Blogger. Also, my mother follows my old blog and there are some things that she really doesn't need to know about. I'm not trying to hide things, per se, it's just a little stifling to know that there is always the possiblity of her reading over my shoulder, so to speak, and getting horribly offended. It wasn't an issue when I was at university, but now that I'm living at home again I need to do everything I can to keep the drama at a minimum.
So, it looks like I'm going to spending the day getting this website and blog all set up and running! Hopefully it isn't overly difficult, and then I might be able to feel as though I've accomplished something today.
I don't expect that this website and blog will get many hits for a good, long while. I don't plan to give the link out to anyone until after my trip to Mount Allison in March, anyway, because I want to post about things on here that my friends at MTA shouldn't hear about before I get the chance to tell them in person.
In a way, I guess, this blog/website conglomeration is entirely mine for the next month or so. I'll have a chance to play around, get a system down... establish things for myself. This is good. Change is good.
I hope.
