What a boring half-term

Well...I did have one or two things planned this half-term...
I wanted to go and take some photos of Mansfield Woodhouse...But, I just decided that "I can't be arsed"!
So, instead I've been playing Fallout 3 on the Xbox 360...I got quite far it must be admitted! From half-way through the story to the end. Fun times.
I also went into Mansfield with Patrick.
Now today...I really can't be arsed to do...pretty much anything, even get up off my arse!
It's shocking really. I need to clean the house up for the possible arrival of my girlfriend tomorrow. But, that is an if I can get up...
Patrick wants me to go out later, oh joy...I really can't be bothered! But ah well. It'll be okay. It must be a Thursday thing... :/

Good mood gone bad

I was in a really good mood earlier. Everything felt pretty damn good. It was abit nippy, yes. I was a little bored, yes...But I had Facebook, and the blog to keep me occupied, and my girlfriend was texting me. At any rate, I was in a good mood.

Then, tonight, simply killed it.
Things got off to a rocky start in 6th form. I got there, on time as usual. Went and waited outside my classroom for the class before to finish. When it did, I went and sat in, and of course waited for the rest to arrive. Usual day.

Of course, I had no idea just how boring that lesson was going to be. Miss Cooke, my Law teacher, began reading some crappy question sheet out. I think I lost track then, seeing as the next thing I remember doing was realising it was halfway through my law lesson, with the teacher still yacking at us about the question sheet in her boring Doncaster tone of voice.
We then went into the computer room. Oh how fun...Not.
I don't ever think I've been as bored as I was there, waiting for my goddamn teacher to tell us we could go for the day. I mean, really...She took forever to finish her crappy meeting. When we did leave I was bored witless on my walk home by myself (For half the journey). But the walk from Scotswood to my house does do that to you. After a while, you just get used to the boringness. It began to rain whilst I was walking home too. Fun. But...this is pretty much where the unfortunate, just turned bad.

I got into the house. No change there. Before I had left this morning I'd left a note to my brother and sister to put the washing from the washing machine into the tumble drier. No biggie, really. But, they can't do that can they. Oh no. Not at all.
Then I looked in the sink. It was FULL of blue water, right to the brim. Upon asking my two siblings what the smeg was going on, they couldn't tell me. Laura, had instead of trying to clean it up, just left it for me to sort it all out. Thanks, Sis.
Of course, I hadn't noticed that the back of the kitchen towards the door was almost entirely flooded with about half a centremetre of water. No. I cleaned that too. Greeaat!

After about half an hour of soaking up water with an old beah towel, mum and dad came home. They decided to give me their bad news. "My debit card has been cancelled, Ryan. It's been cloned. I can't use it until I get a new one"...
Now, at the best of times this is not what you want to hear. The words, Debit card, cloned, and cancelled are never good words to be used in the same sentence.

After this, my brother decided to be abit of a prick. Lately he's been trying to "push me" so to speak. Get a response, make me get annoyed at him, so I lash back. Then he has ammunition to fire back at me, and get me in trouble. I try to ignore him most of the time, but usually it just doesn't work. I can't help but get annoyed.

Towards the end of the night I decided to be a good faithful old boyfriend and ring my girlfriend again. Very kind of me. But, towards the end I did find myself wondering "Hey...what's the point"...
She was talking to me on the phone whilst watching Mock the week on dave. But I think she took priority with dave, seeing as if I asked her a question, I'd have to ask it 4 or 5 times until I got a valid response of any form. When I said I had to go she didn't hear me. I didn't even get a good bye. Shocking :\ I'm beginning to wonder why she watches it whilst on the phone to me. I think, personally, it should be more of a "one or the other" situation. You can't really have both.

To end the day, I had to do the pots. I wasn't in a good mood already. Of course. nothing can go wrong if you wash the pots. Unless you accidently make a plate shatter into well over 200 pieces and cut your foot.

Oh...How I love tuesdays... :\ Tomorrow just can't come fast enough.

THE BIG IDEA

So often these days, I find myself bored beyond all recognition, and as a result, I feel bad about myself, have a lower self esteem, and don't do as well as I could be doing. So...I had a revelation. An idea to keep myself focused.

Here it is. Bear with me. You might not think it a great idea, but in my messed up little mind it all works. I am going to create three lists.
A list of "things to do before I die", a list of "things to do" and a list of "things I haven't done". I think this will be able to give me a series of short term, and long term goals to make both myself happy and keep me from being as bored; because I could be doing a list item instead of nothing.

I'll explain each list, don't worry :)

"Things to do before I die": Right, well, everyone wants to do certain things in the 70 odd years they have on this planet, so why not write down these things I want to do, and then complete each one. Some, may be a little mental, but hey...gotta try everything once! Codenamed: Arthur

"Things to do": Okay, well...I have an idea of what I want to do when I'm older. So, until then, what do I do? Well, this list will give me an idea of what I could be doing rather than getting bored. The list items will be achievable and something which I want to do. Good idea. Right? Codenamed: Jerry

"Things I haven't done": Well...things I haven't done. Let's see...Some things I have yet to try. These could be good things, and bad things. So, I could of course keep track of them on this handy little list :) Codenamed: Chris

Now just to create these lists!
