Aleatz Hates Filler (#3)

So I’m making a list of things I’ll be doing in the holidays. Everyone can’t wait for the holidays, but as soon as they come people start bitching about how they get bored. That’s why I have planned ahead, making a comprehensive list of high priority activities which need doing, as well as some things that are just there because they’re good fun.

  • Getting a major hair cut: This one needs to be done, in more ways than one. I need a trim, for a start. But also, I’ve never had ‘short’ hair, so it shall be interesting.
  • Writing 15 000 words of my story: I’m up to 23 000, so I want to add an extra 15 000 to it. Sounds like a plan. I’m not sure I’ll get past 10 000, but we’ll see how it goes.
  • Bug Lizie to illustrate book cover and write up with blurb: Not really a big deal, but it gives me a chance to poke her with a stick! One of my favourite activities.
  • Composer/sequence one new composition on Sibelius.
  • Clean room: Oh God, yes. There’s dust settling on my dust collection.
  • Read at least one book: I’m aiming for 1984, but if I’m not in the mood to get that one (which could be the case) then I’ll resort to my unread David Gemmell books littering my bookshelf.
  • Finish at least one video game: Ones which look promising in this respect are Advance Wars (latest), Fire Emblem (Shadow Dragon, because IS is dyslectic and couldn’t just say ‘DS’), Fire Emblem (Dawn of Radiance), Rune Factory 2 (yeah, I think I might need more than a month), Harvest Moon DS (oh Muffy, how patient for me you have been!), Trauma Centre 2, yadda, yadda, yadda…
  • Create banner for SES: Yep. It’s on the friggin’ list!
  • Finish SES CD: So is this.
  • Make TWEWY set: And this as well.
  • Help mum for about a week: I couldn’t get out of this.
  • Cook 5 new interesting things.
  • Make one new wallpaper.
  • Re-install all my programs on my shitty desktop: Fucking virus.
  • Sort out uni courses and timetables for semester 2: If I don’t past Stat I will be pissed.
  • Visit the gym at least 2 times a week: Hahaha… Not likely!
  • Spend quality time with friends: Not on Sims though.
  • Practise flute for old people thing at Christmas… Yeah, I don’t even know anymore.
  • Send postcards to all my overseas pals: With some rock fragments in the envelopes so they know I care about them as much as rocks (which is not as much as people tend to think).
  • Stock up on booze for future ‘cocktail nights’: We shall see if my wallet lets me.
  • Go shopping for clothes: I can’t believe this is on a list. Hate shopping. Hate it.

Think this will fill up a month? I hope so. Oh, and:

  • Write one blog post a week.

You are all witness to this one!
