Smile

Smile: a facial expression characterised by turning up the corners of the mouth.

I’m happy today and I don’t know the entire reason why. I guess it’s because I’ve just been floating around the past couple of days indoors, taking my time doing things, watching DVDs and just releasing my mind from everything.
This blog will just be about unimportant things. I suppose it’s better than my previous blogs telling the world how pitiful my life is.
Accomplishing smaller tasks helps me feel accomplished?

Actually, I’m glad that I’m spending these days in the house.
Perhaps I should go out and find a job. Perhaps I’ll think more about that over the next couple of days.
My day has been exceptionally decent.

Got a haircut in the morning (: 5cm off and soft layers.
On my way into town this morning, I walked past several small children, playing. Two were running each other around. One chasing the other for a bag of home brand lollies.

Life was simple back then.

No internet and Facebook. No complex issues. No major care in the world besides who gets the swing or who’s IT in tag.
I wonder what age I decided that the street wasn’t good enough to play in and started spending my time indoors reading more, watching DVDs and on the computer.
I remember being outside when I was 11 and 12. When I hit high school I started to slowly spend more time indoors.

Perhaps I decided the streets, tar roads and green grass, weren’t good enough for me. Like I was above it all?
I’m not.

Anyway. I love getting haircuts.
Perhaps I may dye it again. I still have a packet left over from just before summer ended.
Time to spend the next couple of hours writing down every thought in my brain onto paper or in a word document.
Doubt that would make them go away, but for now I’ve decided to take a stand against them. To own up, and man up, to life.
That probably sounds lame.

Cleaning my computer desk, I found my scrapbook that I started at the very end of last year and decided to make it up to date by filling in five pages since New Years Eve. I had to dig around and find the bits and pieces I had saved since UOW Discovery Day, Soundwave, the farewell party we held for a friend at the end of the summer and the recent Sydney trip, oh and a friend’s 18th.
Flipping through the book made me remember those times, and the memories that went with them, shared with close friends; those who I love.
I hope to continue to create memories like the ones I have experienced so far this year.

I’ve been catching up on much needed sleep the past couple of nights. Sleeping for at least nine hours each night.
I feel freer.

I shouldn’t let those couple of issues that have been haunting me for over a year keep winning. In time those issues will fade as a scar does.
I love those around me, I depend on those around me.
I went to the Bank today to deposit some money into my account. If I owe you money, come collect it as I’ve put it aside.

I will leave you all now as I depart to go and dance to Justin Beiber, 3OH!3 and Calvin Harris among others on my playlist.
Today I promised my Nan that I would clean the bathroom sink and bath, do the dishes and perhaps I’ll even go one step further and clean out the cupboard next to the fridge that contains all my childhood books that I could give away to Vinnies.
Hope this happiness is here to stay.

Interesting Fact: Someone keeps ringing the house phone and then hanging up after five seconds. Three times in the last fifteen hours.

This blog is sporadic and meaningless, jumping from place to place as I ramble on.
