So, here I am at almost 1am writing a blog entry that probably won't be commented or even read by anyone that I actually know. I don't sleep too well, I guess I've never slept too well so it's nothing to cry about. But here I am anyway, I'm going to write a master piece or a half decent blog entry!
When it gets late and I can't sleep/have nobody to chat to I find myself playing Robot Unicorn attack repeatedly until I get bored or my overall score starts getting much lower than it should be. It's an awesome game, but I should find an alternative game or something else to do (writing seems like a good idea). My high score is so high that I feel that my Facebook friends fear playing the game because their score is always compared to mine ... I'm not being big-headed here by the way ;-).
As I've demonstrated already, blog entries that I write at stupid o' clock are nothing but whiny, unstructured and about the most random topics. I'm the type of person who just goes off on one with my train of thought when I have nothing else to occupy me. I should really use this blog to rant about things that are worth while or talk about what I've been up to during the day. As I feel quite content today and have nothing sensible to rant about, I've decided that I'm going to tell you about my day.
So, today I've been Christmas shopping again and failed to finish buying gifts for family and friends, instead I've treated myself. I treated myself to Mark Watson's DVD (which I'm hoping to save until Christmas), a fancy bar of soap that I don't really want to open as the packaging is so pretty and present like, and more body butter that I've already started using. I've also been to Starbucks today and had an eggnog latte and a cinnamon swirl. I do actually feel quite festive now, despite still having a few gifts to buy and then wrapping!
After shopping I pretty much spent time in my bedroom feeling a bit sorry for myself as I do have a very sore throat and a cold. Instead of whining on Facebook I decided to watch a film. I watched "A Scanner Darkly", it was a really interesting film but sadly I couldn't watch the last 20 minutes of it as I watched it for free online and the website wouldn't allow me to watch the last part! What do you expect for free huh? Overrunning the tale, I really like the concept of the suites which change your appearance every second or so (I forgot what they're called). I'd love to own a suit like that, just for a day. Can you imagine the sort of things you could get away with, being anonymous and all that =P.
I realised today that 2012 is approaching us. 2011 was a pretty strange year for me. I guess I had a tough time at university (but not where grades are concerned), I also graduated from university and realised how hard it can actually be to reach your goals. I went through a period of depression and other problems. It wasn't easy, but I'm getting there now. I really hope that 2012 will be a better year for me, rather than just hoping, I'm going to make 2012 a better year. However, I do have a few people that I'd like to thank for things they did for me in 2011. so here in no particular order are a list of names and a short message/explanation for each of them.
James Watson
We've been friends for a long time but in 2011 I realised that we actually have similar problems and insecurities. This made our friendship much closer and I feel that we trust and understand each other a lot more now than we used to. He's managed to keep me happy by meeting me regularly for shopping and meals. Thanks for your support James.
Alexandria Meacham
It's been a hard year for Alex too, we've both had major problems this year and I do agree that at times we've just clashed and not seen eye-to-eye but this is because we've both had our own problems to suffer with and attempt to sort out. I would like to thank Alex for being so patient with me and listening to what I have to say, I really appreciate it.
Dr Chris Fullwood
This is possibly going to be the hardest message to write, especially publicly. I realise that from time to time over the past year I have been a complete cow and I've really not considered his feelings at all. I've treated him with a certain amount of disrespect but this is largely due to problems that I've had which I've not explained inside out and kind of exhausted. I would just like to thank Chris for being so understanding of me over the past year or so, I really appreciate it.
I probably have a lot more people to thank for things that they've done in 2011, for example my mom, various members of academic staff from university and a few friends from university who didn't believe the childish rumours and literally fought my corner until the end. I'll probably write another blog entry soon to thank others, but sadly that's it now as I'm starting to feel tired. It seems that writing helps me to sleep.
Take care,
Jodie
