I need to be more active on here.
I'm not looking forward to Christmas! I never do, it's a horrible time of year where the original message has been lost forever, and it's replaced by a version made by corporate whores, who just make you feel like you need the latest aftershave, or gadget, and yeh, I hate forced fun. It's the same with New Year, I'm not a fan of that either, why should I be nice to someone for one week out of the year, when I thought that they've been a cunt for the other 51 weeks? Makes.No.Sense.
There, I've said it. Bah humbug, paint me green and call me the grinch :p
I am, however, looking forward to my two weeks off work! I can catch up on reading since I've got into that in a massive way, recently. I used to read a lot when I was a kid, then I grew up and was like "where the fuck has all the time gone?!"
It's my birthday in 9 days too. THIRTY TWO!! I'll be 32. It'll be the oldest I've ever been. It's weird as fuck hitting my thirties. I literally spent the last few weeks of my 20's crying in a corner, thinking my life was over, but my 30's have been pretty good. I went to Japan, started an awesome job, and developed my interests a lot. I've become a lot more settled in life, if I want to listen to Avril Lavigne, or East 17, and what? It's quite freeing actually. It is literally like I've walked through a door and locked it behind me.
However, I've always, always, always, got the mental image of my friend saying "yay, you're 32, that's one year closer to your death" - I've had that ever since I was 19, "you're 20 now, that's a quarter of your life gone" - I wouldn't mind if he was Yoda, or a Sequoia, but he's only 3 months younger than me! Wanker. Who needs enemies, right?
Next year's goals - be more social, go to more gigs, keep myself and those around me, happy.
I'm going through a phase of listening to A Day to Remember a lot, too. Awesome band!
