Grace Notes @ Snarkattack

So Google Earth freaked the crap out of me in a very “holy-fuck-I’m-having-more-than-an-existential-crisis” kind of way, well imagine stumbling upon the hospital you were born in, and seeing it listed on a website, entitled ‘Derelict London’ (as if I needed further proof that I’m trash! ha ha).

My cat has made a new friend. Wish I could say the same for his mistress.

Yea, so my admin hadn’t gone AWOL, just went away for a few days hiking and camping. I finally heard back from him, so he’s not ignoring me, and he’s not dead. Really, I should know better, he’s not the type to let anyone down.

My new lipglosses and glitter pencils arrived, and one of them even resembles one of those French fancies that are all coated with icing. I thought this would improve my mood somewhat. It did, but it didn’t seem to last very long, a bit unusual. But I did get a bright red nail polish that I can wear to a party where everyone is supposed to go as a rock star.

WEEK 3: random useless fact for the day

Monday 14th November, 2005

The phrase ‘to sweat like a pig’ is stupid because pigs don’t actually sweat, hence their love of rolling in mud. They are smarter than dogs, being able to learn 140 different things as opposed to dogs who can learn up to 90 (I think…been a long time so the numbers might be wrong BUT pigs ARE smarter than dogs) - one of the reasons Heathrow Airport in Britain uses them as sniffers for illicit drugs. Their organs also resemble that of humans most closely and pigs as emergency donors (when there are no human organs available) is an avenue currently being explored by the relevant medical community.

Going to see one’s psychiatrist is never fun.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I hate it. It, generally speaking, is a degrading experience. It isn’t helpful, either - I mean, not really.

There is nothing stronger than a person who has nothing.

Till yesterday, I had at least one friend that put up with my bullshit, and I swear I don’t mean to have bullshit but it’s so hard when the mood has dropped. But it’s not like I don’t give warnings.

It probably has something to do with Easter or the fact that he seems to spend every moment of spare, waking time with his significant other, or more likely, I’m simply just a demanding cow.

My MtG cards arrived today, but I haven’t opened all the packets, and miraculously in about 10 minutes, I’ve tried a new eyeshadow combination I’ve never worn…but as the title implies, a disaster of sorts occurs.

Trying new purples, a quickie ‘do’. I’ll keep it short, or try.

I hope NoMD (nerd of my dreams) finds this funny, but today, I had a most disconcerting thought.

I think I’ve become a bit of a techno-geek.

Why, you wonder?

WEEK 2: random positive observation/affirmation of the day

Mon 7th November, 2005

First random nice observation/compliment of the week!

Have to first up mention the cat, my cat. He’s the most faithful, loving creature. He still loves me even though I gave him a bath (for both our benefits - get rid of his loose fur so it doesn’t get all over everything but also stops the poor dear vomiting because of nasty furballs).

Lists, lists, lists. A random complaint for each day. Next week will be random compliments, methinks.

WEEK 1: random complaint a day

Mon 31st October, 2005

I hate that it’s getting hot. The sunroom in my house is like a sauna. But at night it’s freezing. Yea desert-weather.

…hate chronic pot smokers.

How ridiculously nasty of me. How socially suicidal of me: d’you have any idea how many people smoke pot on a regular basis?

The last few days have been horrendous, ugh. Hence, my apologies dear O for not yet replying to your e-mail, I promise I shall!

But today, things were starting to feel slightly normal, and I don’t really have the mental energy to do anything, so I’ve decided everyday for the rest of the week, to muck around with my makeup, and if that means wearing inappropriate shades, so be it. It’s not permanent, I can always take it off. And seeing as my MtG Ravnica cards have yet to arrive, why not.

It’s 4am, on Good Friday, and I’m watching this awesome but lame marathon of a programme on cable TV called Most Haunted. They are conducting some sort of ghost-hunting expedition in Clerkenwell’s House of Detention, in London.

Which leads me to Wikipedia. Yes, lame I know. At the bottom of the page are various places towns and boroughs in England (my gosh, there are a lot of them).

After the sadness, comes the medication increase. After the increase, came the numbness (for the first time on the medication I take currently).

After the numbness, came the return of feeling.

Not wanting all of you to think I’m a moany old git who doesn’t want to do anything to help myself out of my less than savoury mood, I’ve come up with a fairly cheery plan for autumn.

I’m going to try and find the best slice of chocolate mud cake and/or hot chocolate beverage I can in Melbourne, but only for autumn. It might extend to winter too. Hopefully walking around the city centre will help keep me from gaining too much weight.

Watching Lisa Loeb’s show again, and she’s just been on a date to the zoo and is looking at tigers.

I want to go to the zoo, to see the wild cats, and also the butterfly house.

Perhaps it’s not such a bad thing, this whole anti-depressant numbness thing.

Last week, I went on what (if it had’ve been a date) would easily have been classed as the date from hell. Even better, I somehow managed to turn He Who Would Classify As Being Dated from a sweet, gentle fellow, into a near-psychopath reminiscent of one of my chronic pot-smoking ex-boyfriends who got extremely paranoid when he smoked. Which was often. Hm.

I got an e-mail today from a fellow writing friend, and she’d made a comment about the miniblog being a bit more positive than the blog proper, plus I got some wonderful news from an overseas pal so I thought I’d give this positive thing a bigger shot.
