I've been living with Rani lately, which of course has its ups and downs. I haven't decided whether having no internet connection is actually a good or a bad thing. It does at least mean that I get a lot more reading done, but there's so much that I miss out on reading and doing on the internet that I do regret (and IRC is not one of them, I'm very proud to say--I think I've finally kicked the habit).
I guess at the moment its making ignoring everything happening around me a lot easier. I'm sitting in the middle of all the preparations for Alia's (very suprise) party at my mother's place in Chapel Hill trying to ignore everything thats been going on. Food and cakes and everything else, but there's a lot to be done and really the only thing that I trust myself to do in my current mood is the duty of going to get people who don't have their own transport from the train station or bus station in Indooroopilly.
Speaking of which, this does mean that I have my car back (a very good thing), even though I don't feel entirely comfortable driving around and doing stuff since I've had the 9th car accident that I've been in. I think I'm running for a world record here, especially for accidents which have written off or caused severe damage to cars, and merely lots of embarassment to drivers. I've also had a rude reminder about personal mortality, in that Adam (Slipspeed on livejournal) has very sadly passed away in what I very sincerely hope was a tragic accident last weekend at a nightclub called "The Beat". I made a comment in his journal which I hope was appropriate; it at least summed up my shock at the time, and I still don't know what to think. Its incredibly bad when you suddenly realise that you will never see a friend again, no matter if they were close or distant.
I've also missed out on reading Penny Arcade or catching up with any of the work I was supposed to be doing on deflexion.org--this is a bad thing, and I wish I had done some more work on it! I promise that I'll be getting around to it soon, even if you all know thats an empty threat, I'll probably just go off and do something else instead like partying and enjoying my newfound freedom when I move into the city.
My next ambition is to learn to type dvorak. You may have noticed the font change becasue I haven't mastered the input menu, and I honestly can't be bothered changing it back as long as it retains legibility.
