I'm tired. Really damn tired. All the damn time. And the frustrating thing is the harder I try the worse everything gets/or starts to feel. All I ever seem to do is spend time cleaning and tidying this old house we bought, with more cleaning and stuff, and the renovations.. don't start me on these. There's uni. I've got my grades up to an HD (High Distinction which is 85-100) average now but maintaining it is going to kill me. I don't have time for uni. I want time to submerse myself in...

This thing Discoteque posted has really freaked me out. I think the reason for it is because the image of me as a child is actually fairly accurate, so it might stand to reason that this is a glimpse of me as an older person?
Anyhow, me as an older person:

Yes, it is the end of Mii. Playing Mario Karts on Wii with carpal tunnel is suicide. There is only one way to rectify this. Google - cheats. Who ever said cheating was wrong can kiss my lilly white and book me some physio to get a proper cast until surgery.

said the lady talking very loudly at the top of her voice this afternoon at my daughter's school. Yeah, I'm not really a people person, so I get you... I think. Anyway, the lady had a story, and dammit, everyone was going to her it. Now you are going to 'hear' it as well. Geez, the story is making international headlines.

Right, so she was apparently driving through a farm or a road yesterday and there were ducks. "8 of them!" she exclaimed. And she was going...

Damnit, I'm bored. No, I'm not bored, I'm procrastinating. The dogs are pawing at the back door because of the fireworks. I'm studiously avoing the MOST boring assignment ever devised. I haven't even really done my research yet... or picked the question I'll do. It's one of 2 choices. Maybe I'll flip a coin. God, why can't I be smarter. Danny Bhoy is on in the background. He's very funny. And really attractive. And Indian. What a combination.

Alright, here's a survey...

... Considering this is MY journal, and as a general rule, I don't shut up. Ever. No, I do ocassionally. Most often when other people are around. More irony. Ha.


Anyway, things have been so utterly busy. The house deal fell through. Not sure if this was because of the bank and the valuation department taking 2 goddamned weeks to get someone out, the agent who is satan spawn, or the vendor - who I won't even waste words on. They can all get fucked. There'll be another...

Hopefully, anyway. We'll find out tomorrow AM what kind of money we can offer on this house, which is sadly perfect. Sadly, because it's a relative dump, but perfect because it's huge, it backs onto the river, it's on nearly a 'quarter acre' block, it's zoned for extending and separate dwelling, and a whole bunch of etc's. It smells, though, which is fine because it's the carpet that stinks and the carpet is going before we'd even move in. That in itself is another shame because my dear mother...

What did you wish your name was? Cathy Taylor. I had the worst name, and thought this girl had the BEST name ever. It was so beautiful and ordinary.
Did you have an imaginary friend? No, but I did talk to myself. Ocassionally. Maybe a lot, but whatev.
If yes, what was his/her name? I talked to imaginary microphones because I thought that was the best way to get people to listen to me. The microphone didn't have a name.
Did you want to get married? I don't recall thinking...

See, I'm getting the cool by writing titles like Bonochick. Awesome.

I never wrote about my 100% failure rate with stray dogs before, have I? No, I don't think I did because I was too upset. My experience is limited to 1 dog, and that had a sad ending (I believe), and now I have found myself with another. This one is nicknamed Ratbag. He's an indistinguishable breed (possible Staffy, possible Boxer, even?), and only a little fella. Maybe 8 weeks old? He has a diamente collar....
