Dear Diary

So I’ve been a little scarce to say the least. Swamped with work, lack of interest, just one more project tossed aside and abandoned in that bottomless pit of Shit I Started. Before I took up blogging I used to IRC every chance I got. Then I took a dabble at turn-based multiplayer online games and fantasy football. For all of 4 days. That quilt I’ve been meaning to finish for the last 5 years, the corrections of my thesis I’m supposed to submit before I can graduate all just add to the list of things I started then faded off like that cheap dress you washed once. But in spite of my attention deficit disorder I’ve managed to keep a diary ever since I got my first one on my 9th birthday. It was one of those Hello Kitty diaries with a tiny key, which I used to update obsessively with mundane details like whether I used Colgate or Signal to brush my teeth that morning and always started with "Dear Diary, today I...". Keeping record of my thoughts/feelings must be ingrained in my DNA, because year in year out it is the one project that has persisted throughout my life. I think I need to be heard, even if it’s just me listening. So here I go with another pointless post. If I keep at it long enough, one day I might actually find out that I have a steered myself into a serious journalist oozing with literary talent…
Sure. And I’m also a fairy princess with untold beauty and grace.

Anyway, I was going to Blog about my new apartment but I’m feeling moody and very irritable today, compounded by an extreme case of sleep deprivation. I still manage my fake sweet smile, but if you listen closely you’ll hear the obscene retorts between clenched teeth. My facial expression says Oh Lawrence, you’re so funny but I’m thinking Fucking twat. That’s the lamest joke I’ve ever heard.
So, I'll save it for another day.

She lives! Welcome back. :) I've missed your posts, even if they are by your definition pointless.

The dawn of a new era

Nah. Nothing that dramatic. Same ol' me will be doing the same ol' shit. Unless Monday is considered a 'new era'. Nevertheless, there will be one or two improvements around here. For one: Drumroll please, coz: TODAY IS THE DAY I QUIT SMOKING . Yup. Rip off the gas mask and take huge whiff of me as you hum to Kool & the Gang's " she's fresh she's so fresh ..." My fingers WILL twitch, I WILL develop a nervous jerk in withdrawal, but I WILL resist. To the 'quit somking' industry: if you think you're getting a penny off me with your pills, patches, sprays, gums etc, etc...you can pucker up coz you'll be meeting my ass. There's only 1 drug i need, and thats Determination. The reason I'm really driven to quit is i can see how its affecting my health. I used to be so active. I was an athlete. Ok i was 10 and won the potato sack race, but still, I was an athlete dammit. And now i can't even bend over to pick up something i d...

Hands up! Now step away from the computer...

I've had this PII for like what, 7 years now? Works great, no problemo. I don't tinkle with it, I don't buy new components, just threw in a CD writer extra RAM and then just let it be. It’s old and wheezes a little bit, but still keeps on chugging along just fine. But guys? Nooooooo. You're always upgrading something or other. Off fixin' some part that is clearly not broken, or just opening it up for the hell of it. You all think you were born mechanics or electrical engineers. Case in point, my kid brother has had my computer for all of 4 days, but then yesterday he calls to tell me that out of the blue it just went ‘poof’ and died. It went poof? Uh-huh. What do you mean it went poof? Huh? That’s the sound it made. I was trying to replace the fan unit. And this is because....? I was trying to fix the wheezing. Gee, thanks. You sure fixed it alright. Consider yourself banned from the vicinity of my PC. Twat. *edited to add:* I apologise for my abuse of the word ...

Paris

I must be missing something because I just don’t seem to get it. Try as I may to partake in the globally shared revulsion for Paris, I’m just not feeling it. I stumbled on yet another blog where the author feels the world would a better place if she was ‘shot into space and left there to die a slow and painful death’. So this begs the question: Why does everyone rag on Paris Hilton? - Could it be her sense of style? No she didint! Is that… *gasp*… the same dress she wore to that thing at that place last month!?! Not only is it REPEATED but also hopelessly OUTDATED! Holy MotherofGod, this must be the end of the world as we know it. So the fluorescent pink top does not go with the lime green mini skirt. Infact it couldn’t possibly go with any colour known to man. Boo-freaking-hoo. Let's line up the firing squad. - Maybe because she’s rich? Selfish bitch. Why didn’t she do the right thing and politely decline her inheritance: No thank you daddy. I would much rather spend my entire lif...
