What's wrong with a little destruction?
Jul. 8th, 2006 01:19 amI am in a fairly bouncy (still) mood, as well as being tired. So...yeah Job! Hurrah! One thing that will definitely be bought as soon as I can afford it and before saving to travel starts in earnest - external harddrive for the computer. Or hell, maybe just a new computer. The extra harddrive is cheaper though, so will probably go for that first.
Mad Jake leaves tomorrow. YES!
Travel plans being worked out - I've got to go away sometime this year. Last year was the first year I haven't been abroad since I was 19, and I can't bear another one spent entirely here. Well, I went to Ireland last year but thar was both to see family, and for a funeral, so doesn't count. I'm thinking New York in November - 1) because on the run up to Christmas, there's nowhere else I'd rather be and 2) the urge to hit NYC again is so bad it hurts right now. So. Yes.
Next year - well, I already told Housemate Jen I'd go to visit her in Australia next year, when she's got herself settled down. And you know what? A flight to Tasmania costs about £600. A round the world ticket costs between £600 - £900. I figure I might as well get a round the world one and hit the America's and Far East at the same time. Hmm. Will see, depending on how the job's going. If I'm even still in it next year, which is unlikely to say the least.
I started writing my book again the other day. And strangely, the dread associated with it has sort of gone. I think it's because, before, I could never decide whether to write it in third or first person, how much to write as the truth and how much to fictionalize. Whereas now, I know it has to be in first person and I worked out it doesn't matter how much is gospel truth or not - it's all presented as something designed to entertain, so who cares? Just write it. And that way, it won't get me arrested either. Heh.
So. Having a rather good day today so far, now I just need to crunch some numbers and try not to get depressed at how much I have to save up for things. But it doesn't matter! There is light at the end of the tunnel! *glees*
Also today - Housemate Jen had a course today with her department at school, where they all had personality tests in order to be able to understand each other better. Hers was very accurate. She came home with the book they printed for her and did a rough test on me. It was also very accurate but the thing that made me laugh the most was - under the heading of 'Things you should do to improve your personality' - accept that other people's feelings are valid data, not a sign of intellectual feebleness.
Hahahaha! I'd take it more seriously if they didn't describe feelings as 'data' and use the word (brilliant though it is), feebleness. Still. It's probably true. Meh.
