Something to do.

Holy long time since there was a post! I would just like to apologise for our lack of effort that we have put into this blog in the last month; and by 'our' I mean 'mine' since Shady was the last person to post and he rarely posts anyway, so this is an improvement for him. Good work Shady.

This will be a slightly average post as I am only writing it so that I have something to do and so that the blog doesn't look like it has been abandoned like an old mattress on the curb of the internet.

Right now I am sitting at home watching The Bachelorette because I am waiting to be taken to my mother's house so that I can retrieve Ratchet and Clank and play it for the rest of the day. My amazing sister somehow managed to LOSE our PS2 memory cards and so I must restart the entire game. This will be the first day these holidays that I have been able to do something like that and I am looking forward to it so much that I am not really concentrating on this post so I apologise. My mind is elsewhere.

"My mind is elsewhere". This seems to be a common occurance in my life at the moment. No matter how much I enjoy something, I can never focus my mind on it entirely, and I can never take in everything that I should. I spent last weekend in Rosebud with 4 of my closest girlfriends, and I had an amazing time, but everytime we did something, I couldn't help but imagine something similar that I have always wanted to do, or remember something similar that I have already done, or even think of something completely different that is almost unrelated. Usually this does not cause any issues or problems besides the occasional embarrassing moment in which I am asked a question that I can't respond to due to lack of attention, but sometimes it can be a bit more of an issue. So far I have not had any dangers arise from this, but just yesterday I was trying to make mashed potatoes, one of the most simple foods in the universe to make, and as I thought about how I was jealous of my friend Sam because HE was eating artichokes, I added a hugely excessive amount of milk. The potatoes tasted awful and I suffered due to my lack of attention. This may not seem like an extreme example but I was REALLY looking forward to mashed potatoes because it is one of the only things that I can cook!

Apologies for the short post but I have other things to do now including eating and finally playing R&C! There are a million examples of annoyng things that result from my lack of mental commitment to what I am doing at the time, but I won't go through them all right now, or any more at all for that matter because my mashed potatoes that I made today are nearly ready... I will have to take extra care when adding the milk now because I'm determined to enjoy them! Thanks for reading.
