I need to be kept busy. As much as i'll complain about sleep deprivation, illness, exhaustion, no free time... i need to be busy. If i'm left alone, to my own devices, i go kind of nuts. I over-analyse, over-think. I get lonely and then i get gloomy. It's not fun.
Today, LozK had lunch with Hains, our history teacher from school. He's an amazing guy and he thinks we're great. As soon as we worked through the door, he said he liked my hat and he noticed that i'd dyed my hair (a fact that had even escaped LozK [and yes, i dyed my hair yesterday, it's nice and dark again]). We had lunch in the markets - woo, more chinese!! - and he analysed our love lives from the male perspective, which is always hilarious and rather spot on. Then we talked about the book on Jack the Ripper that he's getting published and the screenplay that is currently being read by important people over in London. He's decided that if it gets bought then he'll take us out for lunch at the Hilton, woo! Feeling the love. Lunch with him is always such good fun, he's a champ. We plan to do it again soon.
Afterwards, LozK and i went shopping. I bought shiny hot pink sequined shoes that cost a bajillion dollars and i've been wanting for months, a Nintendo DS Lite (that i'm half kicking myself over because i didn't buy the latest model... but it cost heaps more), a Poke'mon game, some jewellery, a purple hat, some books... i spent a few too many hundred dollars. But that's kind of ok, because i got my tax return and am apparently getting my Rudd bonus, so am somewhat in the money for a change!! It was lots of fun, even though none of the dresses i tried on fit my fat self (naturally, they all fit skinny LozK) and the pretty blue shoes i found weren't in my size. But on yhe whole, a very good shopping day.
I have a headache tonight and am feeling fairly sorry for myself. I thought i'd be seeing a friend of mine tomorrow, but turns out they don't really want to see me (enter the feeling sorry for myself) so now i have an entire day to fill so that i can't feel lonely and miserable... not an easy task. I'm planning to sleep late, spend some more money, try to find someone for a coffee date and then i'm off to see the new Harry Potter movie with the girls. It should be fun. I'm hoping i can stave off the impending misery that i can feel creeping slowly over me like a gloomy black cloud. Appropriate, considering the weather. I miss my people and i'm not good at being alone all the time... actually, at the moment, i'm not good at being alone for any extended period of time. Especially when i have to be away from those i love best. My own company just isn't good enough. I'm working on it.
I'm sure i'll be back tomorrow to tell you just how great the movie was. Until then, cross your fingers that i don't spend all of my money in an attempt to stop myself feeling crappy. And remind me to look at my beautiful shiny pink shoes if i need cheering up, because they truly are awesome.
