Lots of stuff

Still in my PJs at noon with Tharsis on the monitor.

Let's start with todays comic from the collection. Mmmm... coffee.

At the moment I'm still waiting to hear from HSBC. This is getting annoying. I want news, damnit! I'm sick of being broke. Although there are definitely things I will miss about working at home, the spastic income won't be one of them.

Last night was Evilyn's birthday. I was supposed to go to Myr's party and then meet Evilyn for cake. Well I ended up getting over ambitious with the drawing I was doing for her birthday and it ended up taking a couple more hours than I planned. I ended up skipping dinner and missing Myr's party in order to get to Death by Chocolate on time. So I ended up having cake for dinner. Not bad in itself, but following that up with drinking wasn't the most brilliant thing I have done lately.

The drawing in its frame

After cake and coffee it was off to Sanctuary for more fun. And it was fun for the most part. A whole bunch of Evilyn's friend's came out and the place seemed much more crowded than usual. Other than the unfortunate side-effect of the line at the bar being a bit long, having a good crowd is definitely a good thing. But things went a little sour at the end. This guy I am acquainted with, John, seems to have discovered drugs recently and has been seriously overdoing it. Last night he was on GHB and overdosed. Seems he split his face open when the convulsions stared and night came to a grinding halt as he bled all over the dancefloor and the paramedics were called in. Bloody idiot, in every sense of the phrase.

My sympathy is severely limited for this kind of irresponsibility. And I feel justified in my distain by the fact I have done equally stupid things (as the scar on my forehead will attest, although that was aquired through good, old-fashioned alcohol consumption and I wasn't so lame as to get the whole club shut down and wreck everyone else's fun). I'm just embarrased that I was actually over at this guy's home last week. I'm embarrassed by the association. I'm tired of mentally unstable, irresponsible idiots.

Evilyn opening the present

Not that I have ever been terribly tolerant of stupid people. I left Duncan to get away from this kind of idiocy. I stopped hanging around with people like Ken (the person who was feeding me drinks the night I split my head open) for the same reason. I've done my experimenting, learned my lessons, and I just don't want to be around people who still haven't grown up, or even worse, won't grow up.

This is disturbing

It bothers me that something this short and apparently meaningless could render such apparently accurate results. (My comments in italics)

Your view on yourself
Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener; they'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.

The type of girl/boyfriend you are looking for.
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true. Often to my own detriment.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship.
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person. It's true. I've always known, one way or the other. I just failed to heed my own instincts repeatedly.

The seriousness of your love.
Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education
Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own. Well, I've been on my own for a while, but I've always had a couple of favourite sayings on this: "In real life you can look in the book" and "Non scholae sed vitae discimus".

The right job for you.
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important; find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life. This is my mission lately.

How do you view success?
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of?
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel. Damn if this isn't bang on. Being out of control pisses me off to no end!

Who is your true self?
You like privacy very much because you enjoy spending time with your own thoughts. You like to disappear when you cannot find solutions to your own problems, but you would feel better if you learned to share your thoughts with a person you trust. I know precisely who I'd like to talk to, but she has too many problems of her own to deal with right now. The cats will have to suffice.
