I must've woken up on the wrong side of the metaphorical bed this morning: I've been stomping about intolerant of everything around me all day.
I find it easy to spot something negative in everything today. Arcade Fire and Bjrk are both playing at BDO in January but I hate festivals and $125+BF sounds outrageous to me.
I'm hating everyone that doesn't recycle or conserve water: if you don't want to participate in important community efforts (yes! these are important!) then fuck off to the desert and out of my community!
A little selflessness makes a much greater difference than a little selfishness.
So yeah, I'm just generally in a foul mood.
I'm usually a positive person but it's amazing how others can influence you so strongly. If you spend a lot of time with someone who nitpicks every little detail, you become a nitpicker; if you spend a lot of time with someone who is quick to judge others, you judge others quickly too. Not that I've been around either of these kinds of people recently, but still you get the gist.
Most of this is bound to be the result of being home again. Spending over a week with some of your closest friends and just enjoying their company makes anything else seem worse in comparison.
Nonetheless, I did manage to finish one of my uni tasks this morning. And installed some wiki software on one of my sites. So that's all good. Clothes are washed and waiting in the machine for me to hang out to dry. I have twelfty-thousand personal projects I could be working on - vague ideas floating around inside my head - but a lack of further compulsion and my brain just short circuits when I try and decide what to work on.
Also, the new Legend of Zelda for DS is awesome.
EDIT: Insult added to injury. I've just been instructed that I have to pay rent at my parents' house as their rent has been increased. Naturally I'm a bit pissed off about it. I'm here by their invitation and assurance that I don't have to pay rent, not because I enjoy their company and political views.
This just places more pressure on me to find a one-day-a-week job - enough to cover a room in a share house (Hi Tez!
) - and get out.
