Songs-n-stuff

It's theme song time.

At this point in my life, this song would be my theme song. It would play randomly, the appropriate bits at the appropriate time because all of it, the tune, the instrumentation, the lyrics, they all seem to work into my life at various points right now.

I do this from time to time. I get a song under my skin and then I start to realise how it has woven its way into the fibre of my life (ooooh nice metaphor, Heather!) Life is a bit more interesting when you have a theme song that goes with everything.

I'm not the only one who does this right? You have a theme song? Do tell.

What A Week!

This last week sucked. I worked until late in the eve every night, but now it's done. Woo Hoo! This weekend was great fun. I helped Chad plan Gillian's surprise birthday party, which was Saturday. I almost spilled the beans about this to Gillian on Friday after 1 too many drinks, but I caught myself just in time. She said she didn't notice and had not a clue as to what was in the works. The look of surprise on her face was priceless.

So today I have brought no work home and was looking forward to writing more about my luck with cars when I realised that the draft of that blog that I had begun is on my work computer. I find it a bit pathetic that a piece I'm writing for enjoyment has ended up mixed into my work. It's an example of my working too much. Sad, really.

Tomorrow I begin a strict health plan. Or perhaps I should say that tomorrow I return the healthy lifestyle I was living in Autumn. However, today I will lounge around and overindulge a bit. Am about to head up to Linds's and perhaps eat pizza.

In other news the boots that I wanted for ages were 70% off and I got the last pair in my size.

It's good to finally have time to write for fun again, even if that writing is a bit banal.

Never Be Lonely

You know you are really over someone when 'the song' comes on and you don't want to vomit. Tonight I came home from the pub and turned on my computer, which I had put to sleep in the middle of its iTunes mix. Lo and behold, 'Never Be Lonely' by The Feeling started to play and I thought, 'Hey, it's been a while since I've heard this.' It was a song that my previous boyfriend liked enough for me for me to purchase and put on a CD for him for Valentine's Day last year. (As an aside I'd like to go on record as saying that I'm not really a fan of The Feeling. Neither is he for that matter.) Instead of feeling physically ill as memories of our previous relationship came flooding back to me as happened the last time I heard this song in July, I found myself smiling thinking of the fun we had and glad that we managed to remain friends.

Hopefully, I'll be one of those 'people in love' again soon. (Yeah that was cheesy, but I couldn't resist)

Now playing: The Feeling - Never Be Lonely

Yes, I know it's been ages...

since I've blogged, but I've been busy. Hellishly busy. It's that time of the year again where I find myself under a ton of marking with the Report Card deadline nipping at my heels. Ouch! Plus we have to do this UBD unit on curriculum map software that is a) clunky and b) is slow going thanks to our snail like server service at school. Grrrrrrrrrr.... Oh and I got into a row with a friend of mine on Saturday. Something that will blow over and is beginning to, but it ate away at me a bit throughout the last few days.

I did take a wee bit of time out for myself and saw Charlie Wilson's War on Wednesday. It was pretty good. I even forgot that Tom Hanks was Tom Hanks and that Julia Roberts was Julia Roberts. Philip Seymour Hoffman was brilliant as always. I'd write more about it, but I'm knackered.

I began the My Luck With Cars part 2 blog a while ago, but I've had no time to finish it. I had a decent idea for a music blog, but I have had no time to even start that.

I hate living most my life around work. I hate being stressed. It sucks.

On that note, thank you to the faithful who routinely check to see if I'm still here. I am.

Off to sleep now.
