Moose Musings

11:25pm: Nah, not really, which is a shame...not that I haven't been enjoying myself, although I'm slacking on the fan fic, maybe I really do need to extra the digit as my mother would say and go somewhere else and actually sit at a table or something to work on it!

What else to report? Well, I've decided to use my acne cream on my face again since the pimples have returned. My only concern is I might end up bleaching my bed sheets or PJs, I probably should have put it on a bit earlier...although I haven't been able to find much info online about that.

Moving along, there was more ice skating to watch yesterday as the Junior Grand Prix event in Brisbane wrapped up. I missed like half of the ladies event which was a bummer, but I did at least get to see one of the Aussie girls. Yay! None of the Aussies finished very high, but hey it's the first event so there's nowhere to go but up. Also there was no pairs event in this one (which is weird, but OK) so our World Champions didn't compete. Fingers crossed when they do show up they'll go great!

Although watching the skating meant I didn't go skating, although I didn't really plan on it because I still have a cough from the cold so one shouldn't overdo these things, except that does mean I still haven't got my beanie from my friend! Ah well, next Saturday.

I also spent last night at the parentals because there was a fun-run this morning and Dad and I thought parking might be difficult in Dee Why for church, although as it happened there was hardly any traffic and plenty of parking. LOL. I guess that's how it goes.

Right, I better get going, it's almost 15 minutes 'til midnight and I've got work tomorrow morning and then volunteering! I be a busy Moose indeed!

Goodnight all!

11:05pm: I opened this tab like an hour and a half ago and I'm only just now starting to type in it. Pft, fail.

Anyway, I'm sorry to say my mental state is still kinda...off...I'm starting to wonder if not having a proper breakfast before taking my anti-depressant is behind it. I mean obviously I have to take it every day, but I do recall reading about the importance of taking it after eating. But maybe I need a bit more than a mandarin and a couple of spoons of yogurt.

Anyway, I felt upset this morning and like I've been saying since Wednesday I can't put a finger on why. I feel that something's missing, but what? I did IM crossover_chick and talk for a bit (thanks, Vic) which made me think maybe it's writing. Like I signed up to Camp NaNo this month with the intention of getting back in the game only to find...I don't know what to write? Like...I've got no inspiration! At all?! I usually make up little stories in my head all the time, even if I never write any of it down and they seem to have gone AWOL too. It's disturbing.

Although having written that out I can see why something seems to be missing...because it is! My creative mojo! Where did it go? Why did it go? And why have I only just noticed this turn of events? Because thinking about it, I'm sure the little narrator in my head has been quiet for a while now. But I just noticed it this Wednesday? Why then? I've been quite happy these past few months - the odd panic attack excepted - scratches head.

The only thing I can think of is that I've been slacking off on my reading since been told about needing to move from the Granny Flat - and even though that's all cleared up now - I haven't got back into it and now my brain is all quiet, with more time to think about bad stuff.

The book I'm currently halfway through is about Roger Federer and one fan's journey watching him play and whatnot. Which perhaps is a bit of a bad choice because sadly even switching channels last night and going to bed didn't work. The Fed-Ex fought back valiantly only to go down in five sets to Freddo. Sigh.

I do have a number of other books to read though so I could look at those! I really should get with the program.

I might also be a bit distressed because last weekend when I went to my grandparents' place I discovered I hadn't put the top on my wart removal stuff properly and some of it leaked on my purple shirt - the one I sewed by hand - and left a stain, which hasn't come off despite washing! Damn, what if it won't come out? I worked so hard on that shirt...

Shakes head.

Anyway, I turned the heater off in preparation for going to bed and now it's getting chilly in here so I'm gonna wrap this up now. Besides I skipped my Russian last night and I really ought to do it now.

Goodnight all!

10:26pm: I was of course supposed to come over here tomorrow on the 9:13pm bus, but there was some unpleasantness yesterday and I was feeling most distressed over it, so I came on over today instead.

Alas, M beat me soundly at Canasta, even though I managed to go out before her twice! Most unfortunate! But maybe we'll have a chance at another game tomorrow, or we could play Chinese Checkers.

I've kind of left my RP characters hanging because I can't get on the net here through my laptop so I have to use Grandpa's computer instead and he's only just finished with it. I suppose everyone goes on a break at some time or another.

In another news, I'm still considering my options after last night's unpleasantness, I haven't heard back from either of my interviews yet and I've got a bad feeling I'm still going to be jobless, which is such bullshit. I totally can't move out if I don't have a job, so this is most lame. :O( My grandparents recommend I be nice to my parents and do everything they say, but seriously I can't be the only person who finds that next to impossible when they're being jerkasses can I? Most annoying.

Anyway, the memes:

Thursday Thunks

This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by Kimber, the color of doom, and the number 999.

1. You walk into a room, someone turns and looks at you and laughs. What do you do?

Probably get really uncomfortable and leave, because I'm paranoid like that.

2. You find an egg, take it home and keep it warm. It hatches. What type of dinosaur is it? Do you keep it and name?

Wow cool! I'd say a triceratops, because they're herbivores and cool looking. I'd probably take it to the zoo though, because it'll grow way too big for me to keep. I'd name it Spikey though, LOL!

3. Which superhero would you want to be related to and why?

Tough one...I'd kind of like to be related to Spider-Man because he's my favourite...but Mr. Incredible sounds like a good option to.

4. A drunken sailor comes up to you on the pier...he begins harassing you in a most repulsive way....what'll be your defense?

Push the bastard of it and I'll make sure to throw a life ring in after him, so don't worry.

5. Entering a CLASS A piano bar, you're encouraged to sing atop the grand instrument...you grab the microphone and sing.....

Nothing because my singing voice is hideous and it'd be unfair to inflict it upon the people, especially in such a classy joint.

6. If you were a character in a Dr. Seuss book/movie, who would you be and why?

The Moose with Mousse, because it's delicious!

7. If you have just been called to be a substitute in the Winter Olympics for your country (apparently everyone else was busy), what sport(s) will you compete in?

Oh man...well I might be able to manage curling...but everything else? No way...

8. Did the audience from the piano bar in question #5 applaud when you were done with your song?

If I dared to sing one? Hell no!

Booking Through Thursday

Winter Reading

The northern hemisphere, at least, is socked in by winter right now… So, on a cold, wintry day, when you want nothing more than to curl up with a good book on the couch … what kind of reading do you want to do?

Thank you for acknowledging that, and so I'll answer! At the moment I think it'd be an Agatha Christie book, because they're fun to read, particularly curled up on the couch or bed.

Anywho, I best be off, M and I are going swimming tomorrow morning and she'll be getting me up around 9am, so I best get my zzzs.

Goodnight to you all!
