Parents have been gone since Friday and I have been enjoying myself doing very little indeed. I have been watching my St Trinians dvds seeing as the player is now hooked up, and rented a Harry Potter one too (hem, I'm not twelve, really). Other than that I have been mostly playing Grand Theft Auto (I am just about to complete it), eating and smoking too much. As a result my lungs feel like they have sandpaper in them, which is probably not a good thing.

Today I had the joys of the Jobcentre once more. Apparently I am now on the voluntary sector option, which means that I have to take a literacy and numeracy test in two weeks time. Because having a degree does not mean I can read and write, naturally. Trouble is if I fail the numeracy they will think I am taking the piss, but my maths really is quite bad. Then after that I have to go for thirteen weeks in the voluntary sector, doing whatever they can find (though as I have found nothing at all jobwise I begin to doubt whether anyone can get me employed).

Though I was recollecting that I do have a good way to get out of having to do any jobs I dislike - I just have to be completely honest and truthful and tell them I'm bipolar. Madness is quite offputting, I believe haha.

I am supposed to go to Employment Solutions tomorrow and then to my course, where I have lots of work to hand in. However...I'm not going to. I can't be bothered and I don't want to leave the house. I shall hand in my work extremely late, next week. Hopefully they will accept it - I should think they will as Lucien (one of the guys on the course) always seems to be handing in his work really late, and no one says anything. I'll just say I was ill. Employment Solutions don't care if I turn up or not - according to their notes I've not missed a single session because I just get asked to back-sign in whenever I'm there. As I'm a nice quiet sort, they never notice I'm there. I don't know whether I'll be able to get away with not being there for the whole week though, so I'll have to see what I feel like. Which reminds me that I must check that I'm not having a practical or anything important in biology or physics because I shouldn't miss those. Well I shouldn't miss the lectures either but hey.

Actually I've been feeling slightly depressed lately. Which, as I tell myself, is entirely because I've been on my own and not speaking to anyone for several days, plus I'm keeping strange hours and eating only junk food. It comes on every now and again in any case, as does the other, but not badly, so I don't need to make any trips to the doctor thankfully. I have my little stock of pills in case it gets bad in any case.

I've been downloading a lot of music - mostly Silverchair and country music - from Kazaa at the moment, but I seem to have run out of inspiration and can't think of anything else to download which is a bugger seeing as I have plenty of time at the moment to let the machine tick away. So any suggestions?
