The Passive Escape











{November 4, 2009}   Tomorrow is my last day..

Tomorrow is the last day of two things.

Unofficially, it is the last day of my work experience. Officially I continue to Friday, which brings us to the last ‘last’.

It will also be the last day of me being a single child. A state which I have rather enjoyed being. On Friday my sister returns from Colorado, and I will have a sister again. Instead of going to work experience, I’m meeting her at the airport and ‘babysitting’ her, as both parents are away.

I promised her I’d get all my homework out the way, so I don’t have it hanging over my head and we can just chill and hang out. She barely knows me any more, and I barely know her. On the Social Interview app on Facebook, she put the thing that I get most excited about as Tokio Hotel. I will probably dedicate a post to them in the future, but it must be said that I’m in a huff with them. If she was still here in England, she’d know to put Star Trek, Zachary Quinto, or Heroes! Pfff.

So I’ve still got a whole load of statistics coursework to do, my geography coursework to redo, and music to do. But I ignore music because I can’t do it, and I excercise the notion of ‘Out of sight, Out of mind’ with it.

I’ve got this song stuck in my head:

It’s so catchy! I really like their songs Hash Pipe and Pork and Beans also.



{October 18, 2009}   Halloween…

 

So, Halloween is coming up and I’ve got to think of a costume. At the moment, I have two events planned so I might as well just use the same costume twice.

My current idea, or hope, is to get together a Star Trek TOS costume, like Uhura’s. If given the choice, I’d actually prefer to be part of the science division but the dresses look best in red. Red shirts always die! Everyone know that.

I honestly do not have the kind of budget to pay £40-£50 online to get a ready made one, so I have no choice but to try and make one …

{October 17, 2009}   Shopping

The one thing that I really enjoy about where I live, is that to get into the centre of the town centre is merely a 5 minute walk.

Just the previous summer I had the unfortunate experience of discovering why I am really so lucky. My sister is staying across the pond, and whilst I was there I literally had nothing to do.

She was off at school, having adventures. My mother was off in New York meeting friends. My Grandmother was running the household. And I had nothing except a laptop with the worst internet connection ever.

Colorado in the summer is horrible. I was stuck in a ‘gated community’, in a place where everything is 2km away from all other things. I walked to the Walgreens, and to find a post-box so that I could send off for my Star Trek Tee. The roads are busy and noisy, there were no trees along the pavements for much needed shelter and it was naturally closer to the blistering sun. After that I vowed never to leave the blissfully cool basement.

Anyways, I went to do some shopping today …
