If Music Be

The divine and sassified Nilsa at SoMi Speaks posted a pet peeves list today and it really got me thinking about my pet peeves…so much so in fact that i thought i would do a list of my very own.

~ ithings. I have an iPod, i like the tech that goes into Mac products but for goodness sake i don’t care about every sneeze that Steve Jobs makes at a press conference. It seems like any social media ‘maven’ worth their salt has to cream over all things Apple or risk being thrown out of the ‘club’.

~ similarly those Windows 7 adverts where all the people claim Windows 7 was their idea

~ companies on twitter who don’t follow you back even though they have competitions that ask for DM’s (you can’t DM unless someone follows you) to enter

~ again, similarly, marketing bullshit on twitter. Autofollow is the bane of my life

~ forced contributions to collections for people at work who i don’t know. Especially being stared at when i say i don’t know the person and won’t be contributing and/or going to clap at their presentation (today when the applause started i may have said ‘congratulations you got knocked up, here’s a gift’ in earshot of a lot of people)

~ a million TV shows all starting in January that i love to watch. I am running out of hours in the day and i have study to do dammit

I could go on and on but i will save some for another time.

What are your pet peeves? Tell me, it’ll make you feel better

Too many projects keep cropping up to fit in around my work and none of them are inspiring me at all. They’re all things i need to get done so that other things get progressed but i still don’t have the inclination to do them.

Today on the way home from work i decided to go to the supermarket a few stops past mine on the bus so i could re-stock on cat food. Of course i forgot the road is closed to all but retail park traffic so i had to go on a detour. Which was fine except the bus windows were open and it was freezing and then i had to wait for the bus to get back to the supermarket again for 20 minutes. Shopping failure, big time.

I’m tired all the time but still find myself incapable of actually going to bed at a reasonable hour

Ooh the phone is ringing and i still don’t know that number so i am still going to screen it

and those are your vignettes for the day (i love that word)

Because i’m too brain dead to post today you’re getting the list of my celeb crushes so far this year

Ian Somerhalder

Zachary Quinto

Nigel Barker

Lauren Conrad

Jeremy Sheffield

the lovely Kirses just reminded me

Alexander Skarsgard

The ever lovely Smidge commented yesterday that maybe i’m not feeling the drama because i’m in a good place in my life. You know what, i think she’s right!

Sure i have major financial meltdowns every day or so and i want a promotion and my house to stop leaking but i think in myself i really am in a good place.

I am over the dickhead ex, i am happy with myself and i just need a bit of fine tuning to get myself into brilliant mode

Bring it on

This week seems to be the week of deep thinking and soul searching for many of you out there. Maybe it’s the time of year, a re-assessment of your perception of, not only other people, but also yourselves? Maybe its wanting to clear out old baggage along with the old decorations, or maybe it’s just a coincidence but it does seem to be happening more this week.

For me, it’s less of deep thinking and more of deep cleansing this week. Physically at least, i am clearing out my toxins and waiting for the better things to come along. Mentally i am probably just cruising along as i often do, i do feel like somewhat of an airhead when i read about all the internal dilemma’s you are all facing.

Maybe i’m just not that deep and meaningful. It’s a shame, i always wanted to be
