So It's Not My Year...

which is rather devastating.
Whilst I can safely say I've gotten some of the best times out of this year, particularly music-wise, it's pretty much had the most lowlights too. Particularly the whole second failing of my Jap exchange thing.
Because of the stupid swine flu, I might not get to go.
Again.
This year was my last chance because the annoying exchange girl last year pulled out.

In other, happy news, J came over today, J being my best friend.
We keep in touch I guess, but we hardly ever see each other, but in the 3 hour period I spent with her today, I laughed more than I have the past fortnight.
The fact that we lead completely separate lives probably helps the whole friendship thing.
We've honestly only ever argued once.
Which is pretty amazing considering that my other best friend, K, and I argue about 42 times a day.

Besides keeping me entertained, she also restocked my anime collection baha.
So I'm finally watching Cowboy Bebop and possibly going to restart FMA, or at least watch the new version.
Oh, and that game on the DS, that Rhythm one...
it is SO addicting...
Honestly.

Should consider approaches to asking if I can go to my friend's 18th this weekend, wish me luck.

Fruit Juice

I'm home, yet again, sick.
This is the 3rd time in a month!
Considering that I'm sick for about a week each time, that's practically 3/4 of a month spent dwelling in a cloud of coughs, sneezes, blocked noses and tissues.
For once the doctor was actually of some use, she gave me swine flu medicine, just in case, and because it will help me get better either way.

I think I jinxed myself by saying that I've never gotten the flu. Before last week, I'd only ever had colds and now look what happened..

I've been told to drink lots of fruit juice and at least 3 litres of water a day...which is ridiculous considering I only ever drink about a glass of water a day, so now I have to at least 3 times more toilet runs.
Sickening really.

My mum called me this morning and told me that my aunt (who's a doctor) said that I should do handstands against a wall because they help clear your nose and throat or something...
Who knows?
It might just work.
It's just unfortunate that I have a horrible centre of balance when upside down and the last time I attempted a handstand against a wall, I ended up cart-wheeling into it.
Albeit, that was years ago but I've avoided them ever since.

Of Paper Stars & Crosswords

(not to mention Sudokus)

This image never ceases to amuse me.

And thus, I begin yet another attempt at blogging.
Triggered by yet another bout of inspiration, I'm starting to grasp at poetic blog names etc.

Apparently, a clutter free room is a reflection on one's life. If this is true, my life is clearly an organised mess but yes, I am accumulating clutter. Everything from strips of premade and prepackaged paper for making paper stars to puzzle pages from past copies of The Age and Herald Sun which I have yet to get around to completing.

Which leads me to a small, inconsequential dilemma in the face of my oh-so-important life choices, sudokus or crosswords?

It's not as simple as words or numbers.

I shall sleep on it.
And inevitably, never reach a conclusion.
Which really seems to be a recurrent conclusion to everything in my life.
