Due to a variety of reasons, I haven't had the heart to post in awhile. One of the biggest is that my love people/hate people balance has tipped alarmingly to the "hate people" side and is only now leveling back off.
Mostly because when I'm online and people instant message me, they can't talk about anything interesting, relaxing, or fun. No, they have to be aggressively annoying and bug me about "why you don't have a job yet", offering millions of stupid suggestions and possible explanations. I don't want to think about it! I have been dying for an SLR for months now, and if I don't get a job, I can't afford one. Period.
People, don't stress out your already stressed-out friends. They will retaliate in kind as soon as they get an opportunity.
Two nice things: I bought Albert Camus' "The Stranger", and Agatha Christie's "The Murder of Roger Akroyd" a few days ago and will settle down to read them sometime soon. They're two books I've been longing to add to my (small) collection for months now. I am also going to order Rafaella Barker's "Summertime" off Amazon, and then call it quits...that "no job" thing getting in the way once more.
My room is near completion, but at a total standstill.
I need to get my portrait framed and hung before I can hang my bulletin board - and yet the picture is mysteriously "missing".
I need my bookcase mended so that it can be moved in and filled with my books, which are currently being kicked around the living room floor - but there is no time for that, even though there is plenty of time to lounge in the pool with a beer.
I need assistance to hang my mirror - but everyone is busy when I bring the matter up.
I need a screw placed in my ceiling so that my lantern can be hung from it - but it is never the right time to put a screw in the ceiling!
I should also like a shoe-rack to hold my 26 pairs of shoes that now sit all around my bed, and one of those square-shelved "bookcases" to keep my magazines in, as well as a computer chair so that I can sit at my desk without intense back pain from being at the wrong height...but everyone disappears when I mention a trip to Target or Ikea.
Funny, isn't it?
Ah. Apparently now is the time to go prepare the fish for dinner! I can only wonder when the time to prepare my room for completion will come...
