Letting things slip

Living at ‘home’ again is a challenge.  I thought it would be easier than it actually is because my aunt and uncle are laid back people. And it’s nice, don’t get me wrong, I really like living there, but there are little things… little freedoms, that I no longer have and had no idea I would miss.

First, the size of my room makes it feel like it gets much more cluttered much more quickly. I don’t have room for my blankets, which are shoved in a corner right now and my cat seems to be much hairrier than she was before. I don’t understand how that happened.

I’ve been thinking that I need a second bookcase. I was just going to replace the one I have now with a new one, but I think I need a second one instead. Not just for books though. There are lots of papers and notebooks and binders full of drawings and story shorts that I no longer have a place for, as well as movies and game boxes that have been uncerimoniously shoved into every available cranny on my current bookshelf.

Or I could just get rid of more stuff.

I also need a wastepaper basket. I have an R2-D2 one, but I don’t like using it for wastepaper because it…well… it’s R2-D2.

I pre-ordered the iPhone 5 on Friday. I cannot even WAIT until it gets here! I have an old Palm Pre that uses an HP operating system and the whole thing completely sucks. It was cool in the beginning, but now it’s just a piece of junk and I don’t want anything to do with it any more. The phone isn’t actually released until like the 21st or something, which isn’t that far away, but I hate waiting. I’m getting new technology!

In other news, I let slip to Andy over the weekend that I have a certain amount of fondness for him. *shitshit! what’s wrong with you!* but it’s, strangely, not as awkward as I was expecting it to be. In fact, I’m not really sure what to think of it, and I’ve been cursing myself for being so unable to enagage in any sort of nonsense conversation. It’s so, so stupid!

*sigh*

In other news, Andy, we’ve suddenly decided, looks like the tenth Doctor, and we may have convinced him to be the Doctor for Comic Con next year. How badass would that be? Our friend Wayne has volunteered (though I think it was jokingly) to be the Tardis. I told Lisa she should be Rose because she would make the perfect Rose, and I want to be a Weeping Angel, or maybe Doctor Song, though my skin isn’t really dark enough to be her, and I would have to curl the hell out of my hair.. We’ll see how it works out. It would be so much fun!

Anyway, it was a good weekend. I worked on Saturday, but we still have a great time. I went to Sipz for the first time with Lisa and Wayne. It’s an asian styled vegetarian restaurant and was really good though the portions are huge. I need to start exercising again. There’s a pool in the backyard now, I should start using it.

It’s finally starting to cool down. The weekend was miserably hot with 102 and 107 degree days. I was dying. It was awful. But thank god the heat wave seems to have passed for the most part and I can now sleep at night.
