Daydream Believer

I really should give up smoking, I think. Since the parents have been away and due to my strange inability to actually tell them I smoke, I have been considerably over-indulging in the opportunity to stay indoors and smoke. With the unfortunate consequence that I seem to have managed to burn my lips and my tongue and then made this worse by eating salty popcorn. Scrubbing myself with toothpaste (don't ask) does not seem to have helped, and this is not pleasant.

So my week of having time to myself is ending, as my parents are coming home on Sunday. Dad just got back from Moscow, where apparently it is -18 degrees and where they have really interesting snow-ploughs. Apparently they collect the snow, heat it and then pour it into the river. Dad found this fascinating anyway.

I've been downloading lots of music, mostly of the old variety, which means I have sadly been listening to the Monkees. One of these days I really must start using napster or something else more legal, though I should point out that I am mostly replacing stuff I have on vinyl or cassette with mp3s now, rather than downloading things I've never heard before.

I've finished grand theft auto, and its taken me three months - so it was a good buy!

Still feeling slightly down but it is defiitely due to being alone too much, methinks. Yet for all that I don't really want mum and dad to come home, I like being independent again. No one ever tells you that if you live alone or with others at university and then end up having to move back home that it will be awkward.

My mother has decided I should have a "black baby". I have no idea why. She's evidently getting desperate for a grandchild, and has for some reason decided she wants a black one - except she does not wish me to marry/go out with a black man so quite how she expects me to manage this I don't know. Maybe getting a dog will take her mind off it, because this is just getting too strange.

I really need to finish my biology assignment, seeing as its three weeks late and I haven't got anywhere near finishing it yet! Sadly I'm working on strange time today, as I slept for four hours in the afternoon and am a wee bit confused by all this and not at all sure that it is Friday and not Saturday. Should be all sorted out by tomorrow and then I am going to stop watching recorded episodes of CSI, or strange old comedies, and I am going to work for once.

Like that will actually happen.
