Yeah, well… um, yeah?

Ohhh OD (oh dear? open diary?). Why do I dislike writing here so much? I love reading all you guys, but I just can’t keep up. And to be honest, I don’t really want to write regularly, as it’s just going to be a lot of whinging or drama. There’s a lot of drama on OD as it is. I don’t think it’s that my life is particularly dramatic, but I think whatever you write in here can come off that way. I often find everyone’s lives on here are full of crazy woes, but of course, what else would you write about other than crazy woes?

There are those diaries where people just log their intake and that is BOR-ING. There are those that come on here to make a point about something, and they can be fun to read. Or excruciatingly ignorant. And there are those who just post surveys, for people who love to answer questions about themselves but have no idea no one reads the answers. Some people on here are just weirdo copy-pasters, pasting news articles, kittens and all sorts of crap (and even quotes by THEMSELVES). Urgh, seriously, it’s like:

"You can lead a philiosopher to water but you can’t make him THINK!"

-ME. MEMEMEME, ALL ME, I WROTE THIS. ME

Pshh. Anyway. Then there are the HOARDES OF COMPLAINERS, like me. COMPLAAAAAAIIIIINNNNN.

Perhaps it’s just that at this point in my life, I don’t like complaining out loud. I’d rather just get over it. Or try and solve the problem. And I feel like writing on here is the opposite of that. I know people IRL that just whinge about anything and everything, and have a downer on life, and I can’t be doing with it.

So this is the reason I don’t update. My life is like…. fine. It’s not great, it’s not awful. I don’t have any real complaints. And YES, I sure COULD write about things that aren’t complaints! But there really isn’t much going on in my life that’s going to be of interest to people.

1. I’m still with Mat. He isn’t so depressed any more. He sort of changed roles in his company so now he’s got some shittier shifts again but the same pay so meh, good and bad.

2. I still work for the same company, though debating looking for something else where I get to be a bit more creative, but I just never get around to making a portfolio and so until i do, I’m floating around wistfully.

3. I still live in my apartment, the white paint looks grubby in places now we’ve lived there for two years.

4. We bought a new laptop and printer the other day so now Photoshop runs better.

5. My Dad is weird and I haven’t heard off him in ages and when I do it is WEIRD. I suppose this is sort of interesting. I’ll just paste his latest email here (RARRRR COPY-PASTER TIME)

Over the summer break, our department employed a couple of new staff, and I had met one of them at her interview, Adinder van t’Kloister or something. She emailed round the dept to ask if someone could put her up for about 5 days while she moved down from Newcastle and sorted out her house. I turned out to be the only one who replied positively, so she came and stopped in that back bedroom. It was to be for 5 days, but ended up as 5 weeks, as she didn;t seem to understand that buying a house took over a week….. Anyway, she picked up her keys last Thursday and moved out on Saturday.
 
Prize winning going OK. Won £1000 worth of doors, duck dinner, a car baby seat, Marmite merchandise (pop art), hair gel/cream stuff, CDs/DVDs, Benneton jumper, Tickets to Lacuna Coil (have to give those away as it’s for tomorrow afternoon in Birmingham). Just waiting for the holiday win.
 
 
Like…. what?! He doesn’t even remember her name and she lived at his house for 5 months?! And how, in 5 months, did I get NO WIND of this?! 
And when he says ‘prize winning’, basically, he’s started entering every single competition he sees. It doesn’t even matter what the prize is, he enters it. 1000 quids worth of doors?! A CAR BABY SEAT?! LACUNA COIL?!!??!?!
 
It was such a random load of information, I don’t even know what to say. 
 
6. Can’t stop smoking weed. FFSSSSSSSS. Like, I love it so much. But it makes me so lazy. Ehhhh.
 
There you go. Sorry guys.
 
p.s. Also I get the feeling I’m offending people with the notes I leave on their entries, and I apologise if I have, it’s not my intention, it’s just a point of view!
