Brain dump (cue world's tiniest violin) :p

[niennahirilfea]

So, I promised you a proper post.  This isn't it.   This is me after having an excellent evening at Fiona's birthday at Homer Place, having drunk a bottle of wine (yay cheap wine! Actually, it was rather nice, clearly my tastebuds have no class :p)  have danced a bit, and mingled with people, bummed a smoke,  got a lift home from marsden_online (thank you! :D)

You are really good at just being you. You should keep doing it.
And, maybe its a sign that BOTH our brains are broken, but I don't give a fiddler's fuck about earthquakes either. Since Feb I've only cried for two seconds about it, and that's when Cilla came home. So. Earthquakes can go fuck themselves. It's not like we're can do anything about them anyway, so why get all angst-ridden?

This is roughly how I feel about earthquakes - I tidy up what I can, and then let the professionals worry about it. That's what we pay the councillors for, right?

And BTW, I think LOTS of people would like being them as a full time job. That's why slaves, retirement, and robots exist and so many people fight for things like more wages and shorter hours. You're just lucky that you are allowed to do this, although on such a small budget that most people would quickly realise that working suits them fine. Keep posting - you make me happy. That is your worth.

*hugs* Thanks :) I'm glad I keep you entertained :p

You're Welcome!:D

I think I've -known- the answer to "what are you going to do instead" once during my lifetime, and that was when redundancy finally freed my mind from the shackles binding it to my previous job.

"What would I do instead?" is still something I have issues with though.

What's important (IMNSHO) is that you are leaving Uni with the best attitude - that you've proven something to yourself that you can take on with confidence in whatever you find to do next :)

Thanks :) I really appreciate that *hugs*

Yeah, I would have liked to have something to take away that I could point at, and go "See! See! I did a thing!" But I know it wouldn't actually change anything.

De-lurking briefly to say - there's no shame in taking a while to figure out what you're doing with your life. Good luck =)

I also have some thoughts on earthquakes and reactions to them, but I need to untangle those a bit before putting them somewhere Other People can see - I can't really say I don't care about the earthquakes - I certainly don't care for them though :P

[niennahirilfea]

Thanks :) *hugs*
With the earthquakes, I do care, I just...don't, at the same time? I mean, I care that it's upsetting my friends, and that people are out of work and homes, and that I now have friends who jump at passing trucks, I do care about that sort of thing. I just find it doesn't really affect me personally a whole lot, if that makes sense? I don't seem to be having the emotional reaction that most of the people I know have had/are having *shrug*

To be fair, I mainly worry about you sort of becoming a hermit buried under a pile of papier-mache and brass leaf. But ultimately, as long as you're happy, that's fine.

The piece of paper doesn't help. At all. Just saying.

[niennahirilfea]

*hugs* I know it doesn't, but part of me would still Quite Like to have managed it. Ultimately not worth it for me though.

I'm sort of worried I'll become a hermit buried under paper as well :p Although, it would be sort of cool to be like one of those things from the Labyrinth, with ALL THE THINGS strapped to your back. I could waddle about and scare small children. Sort of a human hermit crab.

But you wouldn't be able to talk to anyone properly. You'd live in a strange twilight zone between like two pm and seven am and only be able to say 'cat food' and 'eftpos thanks'.

That's why I want you to get Skype.

[niennahirilfea]

I still see nothing wrong with my phone. :p
And I like my twilight zone, it's free from burning daystars and pesky human interaction. It has tea.
