... an' all that jazz.
May. 15th, 2007 09:39 amMan, I feel like shite today :P I've gotta shmoosy into town in an hour or so to the Job Centre to get my little book stampety'd, and I don't wanna goooo. I didn't sleep well at all last night, and right now I just wanna curl up in bed again with a hot water bottle, 'cause damn it I'm cold and slightly sick and I don't wanna stand out in the rain waiting for a goddarn bus that only runs once every hour and doesn't even come at the same time every hour ;_;
But all complaining aside... it's gotta be done. And the sooner I get a job and earn some money, the sooner I can start taking driving lessons again, and the sooner I won't HAVE to rely on said goddarn bus anymore. My mom DID suggest I should maybe think about getting a motorbike instead o.o And to be honest, I had a good think about it, 'cause 'bikes are cool and this 'ere county sure is Biker Central. Buuuut... Jei did make a good point about 'bikes not being the best transport in rough weather, and I'm not sure I'd wanna be riding a motorbike on busy roads, or especially on the motorway if (for example) I have a job that requires a commute into Bristol ^^; So I think maybe I'll just settle for a cheap little second-hand city car. An automatic, since it'll be quicker to get my licence than manual. I did start learning manual, but eh... I think it requires more coordination than I have XD
On the happy side of things, Jei and I are talking seriously about me going to visit her soon ^^ And by soon, I mean this week o.o I'm not gonna do that thing where I get my hopes up really high only to have them suddenly crushed into a fine powder and scattered to the winds, but heh! If it works out, that would be SO awesome ^_^ Jajaja...
Well, I feel better now after eating a nice warming bowl of Ready Brek ^^ So what if it's 'central heating for kids'? It's just as good for not-so-kids too! (I can't bring myself to say 'adults' ;_; I'm not one! *whine*). Yummy Ready Brek. Mm-hmm.
Oh! Talking of food, last night I cooked :P Yeah, yeah, I know... big whooping deal. But you know, I get so used to my mom cooking that sometimes I forget that I'm perfectly capable of it too n.n; So last night I decided to cook for my mom, before she got home. I cooked up some quinoa (it's kinda like couscous, a short-grain), and threw in some chicken and some red pepper, spring onion, and lettuce. Then I whipped up my patented honey-mustard dressing (plain yoghurt, strong english mustard, clover honey, lemon juice, and a squirt of tomato ketchup ;)), mixed it all up, threw in a handful of sliced olives, and voila! It was actually very good. My mom liked it, and mostly she liked that she hadn't had to cook XD So that was good.
Whelp, I'd better get going. I'm screwed if I miss that bus x.o So it'd better that I stand out in the drizzly rain for 45 minutes than miss it by a couple minutes ^^; Off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of jobs...♪
