this morning i have been budgeting using notepad to jot it all down (money moguls would be disgusted with me) and enjoying my bran flakes, with banana but mainly with goji berries. mm, mm. today will be successful if i do not have any chocolate at all; yesterday i had a double decker for the very first time - i wonder what ever stopped me before? it was absolutely delish. sat around gate 5 with our sweets with harcreet, olga and nyree, telling tales of anything and everything. nyree, who became a customer service manager at 20, and is a supervisor now at only 23 (practically my age, still) kind of makes me want to do something with myself. i'm waiting for november's paycheque so i can enrol on a graphic design short course and finally get some things rolling, like my creativity, for starters...
still no news on the doctors. all i ever hear is no, no, no. paul is going to give them a ring some time soon and see if he has any better luck. i should do a highstreet post but i never get round to it, even with all the photos lying around. i'm loving my three-day week this week and can't wait 'til another day off on friday; lazy shopping and coffee with my mother if she is feeling up to it. we enjoy seeing each other so much now we don't live in the same house, it's pretty nice. people keep telling me i'm losing/lost weight but i lay unconvinced until i buy a pair of scales. oooooh.

settled into SE22 quite nicely. moved on saturday morning at 9am amidst arguments that all my stuff wouldn't fit into one car (said my dad; i said it so would), then sped south of the river and got here, moved in (in one journey, i'm a winner) and said goodbyes in under 40 mins. since then the sorting of the stuff has been a little slow and half-hearted, mainly because i know that in a month, me & paul will be sorting it all out again to distribute over three rooms, what with claire moving out at the end of this (!!) month. so far i've mainly got all my media unboxed, and most importantly the stereo and my computer. been painstakingly sorting my clothes into the mega-big wardrobe that paul, james & dom found on CPR a few weeks' ago, to save a few bob, & i'm not even half done yet. ran out of hangers and ambled down to peckham rye in the rain to ask a lady in primark very nicely if she would give me some more for free. she sympathised, THANK GOD, and gave me a whole bagful. since getting home, via a trip to khans food stores (read: peckham cheapystores), i have not put good use to said hangers, and am instead hanging around without an appetite waiting for paul to get home so we can go give blood.
looking through recipes so i can actually learn to cook things that are not just rice and veg. found a lovely recipe for a smoothie-type-power-drink: 100ml carrot juice, 100ml orange juice, 4-6 cubes of ice & 3-4 dashes of tabasco sauce (or 6-7 if you've spice-loving tastebuds like mine), mix it all together with a spoon in a glass and voila. nice to sip lazily in the kitchen.
just thought i'd report in, really. today marks the start of october - my favourite month of the year - and i really resolve to make good use of it, even if it does mean just writing more.

| just a wee request |
[09 Sep 2007|08:07pm] |
amidst madly throwing myself into my huge amounts of overtime and learning the curve to beating tomas at the games of battleships we play every day at work, i would much appreciate it if people could keep things from my past (who cares if they're good or bad) in the past, where they duly belong and where i like to keep it. if you knew me enough, you'd know that i am always very-much-in-the-present. i don't really have much time for talking about events from my teenagerhood. don't get me wrong, i have nothing to hide. but on the other hand, they're not your tales to tell.
and everything else. time to heat up last nights pizza; ultimate comfort to prepare oneself for 14 hrs on shift tomorrow, followed by a 6 hr sleep before the next shift. yawn.

you gotta hope for the best and the best looks good now baby,
and i don't think a few words of sympathy are gonna make your world go round.
i'm sitting here looking at the tv and burning holes in everything that i get.
you better come right down, do it all over again.
i love you like i love the sun in the morning,
but i don't think a few words of mine are gonna make you change your mind.
i'm gonna spend the day in bed and i'm planning on sleeping my life away.
you better come right down, do it all over again.

i'm so out of the blogging habit recently. all i do is read, read, read entries. and also; go to work, eat at work, go to paul's, eat at paul's, sleep at work, sleep at paul's, and procrastinate about tidying up.
i'm still looking for somewhere to live.
i'm selling some things on eBay and this will continue until everything in my little 'eBay box' has been depleted, check out my auctions every now and then. you never know, you might find something you've been after.

amazing broken record phase time: going to work now. byebye!

on the subject of one thing, my boyfriend thinks i'm fucking sensible and my best friend thinks i'm a fucking twat. and really, when it swings that way, who knows what way to go?

KATE FLEMING, you have purchased the following:
Voxtrot
at Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen
Monday, September 10 at 8:00 PM x2
Stars
at Scala
Monday, October 8 at 7:30 PM x2
yay, my first two gigs in ages. is anybody else going? voxtrot are fastly turning into my band of the year; a song like 'mothers, sisters, daughters & wives' never fails to captivate me entirely, and it has been a long time since a song has done.

i want books. shelves stacked full of delicious books. bent corners and brown pages. books books books. and a fan please.
tomorrow i am going to middlesbrough to spend two days full of drink and dance and party and photographs and just being away from the city, and laughs and smiles, and spending 11 hours total on buses thinking about what i'm going to do and what i want to be and how i will make everything click into place and write lists and lists and follow them. have plans. i wake up at 5am to leave for work at 6am to get there at 6.30am to finish at 12.30pm to get home by 1pm to sort myself out and leave at 1.30pm to get to victoria at 2pm to have half an hour chill before the bus leaves at 3pm where it will race car crawl to cleveland by 8.50pm where i will be met and insulted and taken to show bleak cities what they have been missing by about 2am, hello nonstop day.
tonight i am drinking white vanilla tea whilst procrastinating over my untidy room and it's carpet of mess. i should throw together bags of clothes for binning and bags of clothes for selling and a bag of clothes for the north but but instead i sit here, tippy tap typing away.
i don't write here anymore, or not how i would prefer to. i kind of want to lots, write write. i don't though, and i don't reply to conversations i initiate anywhere and the mask of the internet just continues to piss me off. really i am just stubborn and trying to hide that i'm really not being myself but this can be cured when out of crushing locations. listening to lots of mindless self indulgence just to get lost in all the spazzy noise offers some solace. must think about that, sort it out. be easy. do whatever the fuck you want. etcetera.
gosh stop thinking.
(talking complete non-sense is actually more like me than not. so this is a breakthrough.)

3 things i really want for my birthday:
+ polaroid camera
+ tambourine
+ robo-penguin
2 ladies whose fashion i really dig:
+ kt tunstall
+ abi harding
1 thing i am desperately looking forward to:
+ the future
***
tonight i will do a hundred sit-ups. tomorrow i will drink only water & try not to catch a sunburn & work. sat, sun, mon, tues, wed, thurs, fri; work, work, work. saturday is payday, thank you, thank you.
maybe i will have more interesting things to say when i am done with my eight-day straight. to be honest, there are a lot of wonderful things going on, i just cannot find the time, energy, diction or bother to say any of them. i am such a bad lj-er.

i cannot wait for it to be 'this time next year' so at least the hardest part is over; the preparation, & all the graft, & the putting aside of the money i need to fulfil my itching dreams. by then, i will be smiling & gliding because i know i'd only have two months left, tagging bags & asking security questions every day; not 14 months.
don't get me wrong. i am SO glad i have a secure, pretty-much-(coming-up-for-)full-time job. i just, at the same time, cannot wait for this haul to be over so that i can be free once more. i've never quite been one to stick to one regime for long but through the fog of this painstaking trial, it will be all worthwhile in the end.
