…how unfuckably cold it is outside,i am contemplating the need for a major wardrobe overhaul.
i know i’m not one who is in need of clothes(looking at how unbelieveably cluttered my closet already is), but seriously,the change in weather has left me outdated in fashion. i am most definitely in need of some new jeans(my current two,and most favourite pair are ripped in places i definitely would not want frostbite on), some nice new sockies to keep my twinkies from shrivelling off,a few good pair of leggings/pantyhoses(i never thought i’d see the day i’d actually wear them), and possiblely,but not definitely, a pair of gumboots(ever heard of the song?apparently it’s quite popular here in New Zealand and is very catchy!)
I would have gotten the leggings aforementioned if it hadnt been for that MASSIVE pullout of funds that so unexpectedly occured on wednesday,post-coffee date with the girls.there i was at Farmers,leggings already in hand,standing at the front of the line,waiting for the EFTPOS purchase to go thru when the cashier told me that my card had been declined(you should have seen the look on her face mind you).i was shocked to learn later on that my bank account was in overdraft,with me oweing the bank a casual NZD1,223.68. lucky me,i had funds elsewhere to cover the loses,but still,it was a pretty low blow and a very painful one to boot.needless to say,i hope the issue gets sorted out ASAP or i’ll be in a whole load of tripe(not that i am not already in a somewhat sizeable load already).
with winter not that far away, a girl needs to have her financial support in the form of cash in the bank so she know,with assurance,that should she ver need to indulge in a hot cup of hot chocolate or a big bowl of soup to fend of the chilly winter winds and rain that she can make such a purchase without having to call the bank to double check if she can actually afford it(hot chocolate and soup being the quintessential winter indulgence..aside from scarves and wooly things).
and of course,i cant afford to pile on the winter blubber seeing that my trip to tonga(THREE TO TONGA!!!!)is not that far away.i’ll probably need to restrict all activity to being indoor,not that i will get any(i’m absolutely hopeless at getting things done).i hope runnign around between classes,RA meetings and gigs and living my everyday life schedule will keep me in a tolerable shape to enjoy Tonga’s beaches without getting overly paranoid about my love handles(damned those trouble spots!).
oh well,enough on this rant,i have work to do(which i probably wont get done anyways knowing how well i like to procrastinate)

did i put on my knickers?

have you ever had one of those days when you were so busy you couldn’t remember if you’ve actually put a pair of knickers on?well, it’s not so much as to whether you have a pair of knickers on.that’s easy to know, you can feel if it’s on or not. but more importantly, do you remember which pair you plucked out of the pile of panties(hopefully the clean ones) and placed around your privates. see that illustrates how out of sync i am these days.not only am i unsure about which drawers i’ve got on under my pants, im also unsure of the hygiene level of the underpants sitting in my drawers. life is flying by at such a pace,everything is so hazy. but at times, the fast pace also brings in much needed relief. for example, the increasingly rapid approach of the end of the month means money coming in faster than it can go out. before i realise it, the end of the week come which means i’ll be one week closer to getting paid or one week closer to flying to tonga or one week closer to flying to NYC.

but itll also mean im one week closer to sitting for examsone,one week closer to losing Sha, i’ll have one week less to spend in NZ.

oh well.i just hope i’ll have enough clean laundry for when the time comes
