Well its about time....

That's right, the procrastination bug has bitten again...

So here I am finally typing an update. For some reason working up the effort and energy to type up a blog or work on my website these days. There are a few things I can poke my finger at to blame, just cos that's what procrastinators do. One is that I work 7days a week at the moment, so the thought of using my spare time to 'work' is crushing. Plus I usually put Thursday nights aside to work on that stuff. For the last few months those Thursday nights have been poached by a friend who needs to hang out. I think however she has found her feet again, and I can now get back on track. Thing is, I had last Thursday all to myself, and all I wanted to do is play demo games and blob. I should really be taking advantage of the time I have at work on the weekends to do this blog thing...

I apologise for the following format, its just that I don't want to miss anything out.


Exercise - Yeah that's right, other than climbing the stairs at home or work, other than indoor soccer once a week. I bought myself Wiifit for my Birthday (I will address the age thing later in the post), and I am astounded at the amazing technology involved in the device (Ill do an actual review of if on my Review sight). The reason? I am sick of being fat. I have always been voluptuous, but lately my stomach size has been concerning me, and making me more self conscious than usual. The Wii has even told me that I am morbidly obese (only a very slight exaggeration of words there). So I have been making sure I do half an hour of aerobic exercise on it a day. After as week, I think that maybe I see a small change, Ill keep you updated on that one.


Birthday - Oh yay, 25! (said sarcastically) I usually have little quarter life crises around every bday, but this time its a real quarter century crises. I was supposed to be married by now with at least one child on the way... Damn life and the expectations we put on our selves. I was also supposed to be well on my way to becoming a famous film director, hmmmmm I haven't even made anything since Uni. So in a bid to get this overdue life on track I have of course taken on too many tasks and goals. I am working 2 jobs (seven days a week) in order to pay off my debts and actually make a little leeway during this GEC. That's going well, and at the rate I am going I should be in a good place come Christmas next year :) Somehow by that time I also have to; buy my macbook and camcorder, finish my screen play, and at least start filming my first movie, My man and I wish to be in our own house by then, hopefully with at least engagement ring, and we want to have a nice big new shiny TV. That's a lot to get done in a year and a half, especially now that I have taken on the role of unpaid marketing manager for my mans family business...


Cat/Dog situation - The Dog it appears is hopelessly in love with the Cat, much to her disgust. She still rules the roost tho, and he knows it. This Dog is a convicted cat killer, yet he lets her eat his food and drink from is bowl... We thought that maybe this is because he is getting old, 10yrs for a Staffy is impressive. He is definitely no longer the guard dog he once was, don't say it too loudly, but I think hes losing his hearing. No longer does he start barking when someone walks past our gate, or even come through it, not until they knock on the door does he notice... Plus he seems to be going off at ghosts lately... However he did shoot off after the neighbours cat last week, so not all is lost.


Education - I want some day to own a store/Internet cafe, a restaurant, a bar, and maybe even a clothing line. I know that these are lofty dreams, but I really really want them. I figure to help these things along the way I should to a management/business course part time via correspondence. This would mean even less me time... But I am certain it would be rewarding. And what the hey, what another couple of grand on a already large student loan? It is interest free... We will be looking at the beginning of the year intake next year. Which means I have to get my website and my mans family business website made and at a state that I only have to update them occasionally by New years... Now that's a time line... Especially for a procrastinator like me... Who is only really learning the website thing... Maybe I should start scheduling my time...

Gaming - The Man and I have been WoWing a little, we are now level 46 and successfully 2mand Scarlet Monastery last week. Also He bought me Guitar Hero World Tour (the band edition) for my Bday, when I have the time, I'm loving it :P


Mental health - It is my blessing and my curse that I put others above myself, all the time. As a result of this, the overwork, and my general mental un-stableness, I have been depressed for the last month. I do like that I am able to talk about it so matter of factly on this medium, something that I can only really do with a few men in my life. The Man, thinks that he has failed at making me happy, or that's what he says anyway, I am sure tho that he understands that that really is not the case at all. I am incredibly happy with him and everything he does for me, this is just different.


Holiday - On the note of being extactic with him, we went to Australia's Gold Coast in April. Despite the miserable weather (that is very uncharacteristic) we had a wonderful time, visiting all the theme parks, Movie World and White Water world being by far our favorites. It was exactly what we needed for our relationship and our bodies needed that holiday too.

Soccer - Last time I typed I mentioned reaching the final. Well we lost, really badly. Now we are sitting near the bottom of the table for this season. Its ok, we can make up for it again next season I suppose... I hope anyway. Now if only my damned ankle will come right.

Television - In closing, I hate living in NZ! Season 2 of True Blood started tonight in America, who knows how long it will be for us to get it. Season 1 only just finished. I really love it, possibly cos I lurvvveee vampires.... I was thinking the other day, if I was one Id be able to do all the things I want to do in my life easy, cos Id have forever to do it, wouldn't matter if I was a procrastination. If you haven't checked out True Blood, you should, and also if you haven't seen the website, go check it out at www.hbo.com/trueblood there are some really cool things there, including mock companies and advertising, or is it real?
