Working Hard; Hardly Working.

I have had a very lazy day, and I am glad for it. When I woke up this morning, my first thought was of school, and homework, and assignments. Something just snapped in my head when I thought about doing work all day after working so hard all week to get things finished. So instead of working on things like my Dreamweaver assignment (which isn’t due for another week, anyway), I worked on the SQ Manual.

The further I get into ‘The Manual Project’, the bigger it becomes in my mind. I seriously do think about it just like that, capital letters and quotation marks and everything. There are a million things to do, and a million things that I want to do; I’m so excited about working on it; excited about gathering all of the information floating around that I can and presenting it cohesively, all in one place.

Geeky, I know. That’s ok. You can laugh; I laugh at myself when I realise how happy I am to be working on it. Seriously, who actually loves categorising, and sorting, and filing? Essentially, that’s all this project involves: filing. And yet, I’m ecstatic about it. I DON’T GET IT EITHER. Particularly not when I look around my room, and did I mention that I can’t actually do that? Because the junk has eaten my room.

The other thing that I did today, was play The Sims 2. This is exciting to me, because basically? The Sims 2 is awesome. I shouldn’t even need to say that. And you know, it isn’t all about the decorating, and the building, and the design. When I first started playing, I used to build these really awesome houses - hours spent building, literally - and the Sims were kind of secondary. I didn’t really play them, at all. Just killed them.

Since I started playing by the rules (thanks to a certain someone), I’ve discovered that it isn’t actually necessary to have ten copies of that fruit painting in your living room. It helps, but you can actually survive on that lousy twenty grand they give you. By sacrificing the beauty, I have come to appreciate the actual game. Mind you, I can still spend hours creating my Sims:

Tell me she’s not worth it, seriously.

P.S - I am turning comments off on some of these entries. I usually don’t get that many comments, and I think that some posts really don’t warrant it. There are other ways of contacting me and since this is, first and foremost, MY online junkroom, well. My call. =)
