December 2nd, 2008 In My New Home!
What, a Blog? This can’t be can it…
Wasn’t I only complaining on Sunday about the lack of an internet connection for two weeks? Well; in that respect you would be completely correct; but if I were to be brutally honest, I don’t actually have the internet if you get my drift!
So back to the past couple of days…
Well, it’s been a bit odd. Waking up in one house, going to bed in another, and both are “home”; weird. Everything has been a complete mess; and I’m sitting in my bedroom (I finally have the computer in my room), and it’s a shit-tip.
Although saying that, I haven’t actually got my beloved Bookcase from IKEA yet! How sad is that, I’m actually excited about having a Bookcase; and I can’t wait until I can go out – Book Shopping – and then display the brilliant pieces of literature in my room!
What’s even weirder, is that yesterday whilst I was awaiting for my Mum and Grandma to finish at my old house, I just sat in the living room for a bit; and I thought about really odd things like colour of the walls – which is magnolia by the way – and how I like it! I mean, magnolia is like a shade of beige, and I like it! There really is an essence of cool within me… Somewhere!
As for this weather, eh? What tripe!
I seriously hate the winter, Christmas, and generally this time of year. I find it unduly depressing, and bitter that there really isn’t much joy in it for me. I suppose to some extent, one wouldn’t be wrong in labelling me “Scrooge”, but I mean come on… I just went outside, and froze to death; I wake up in the dark, to walk to school freezing cold to leave a few hours later even colder than the morning in the dark! What on earth is joyous about that?
Then bloody Christmas! Eurgh, don’t get me started on it; it’s a horrible tradition which lacks any meaning or significance what-so-ever. The religious aspect has no connection to me (and it’s a Pagan holiday anyway); then I’m often confronted with the argument “Oh, well, it’s just been too commercialised”, well yes… And what’s nice about that? Un-spontaneous bouts of affection and willingness to spend far too many hours with relatives who you barely know or like… No thanks!
It’s like Valentines Day. Utterly pointless in its meaning; and let me explain.
You see, if I were in a relationship, and Valentines came around the other person better not hope for anything, because I wouldn’t buy anything. I would however expect that the person who I deem to “love” and “care for” to be able to prove their love and happiness with me on their own accord; and not just wait until a day dictates that they should. It’s that spontaneity that I adore far more than just the robust conformity of un-thoughtful cheap gifts… No thanks!
The same can be said for Christmas. It’s all too false it has no meaning, not many people are Christians, and it’s not a celebration of anything. I would much rather not have the holiday, remain productive, avoid the Christmas stress, and just carry on as normal… That though, seems to be an ideal that not many people share.
Anyways, I need to make more of an effort sorting out my bedroom, as I said it’s a complete tip. Of course the first thing to get sorted yesterday was my Computer. I’m not quite sure why I bothered seeing as my actual computer doesn’t have any internet or anything really. Although I feel really geeky having my computer and my laptop in front of me. Like those programmers who have dual screens… Hmm, if only!
