Song @ MindSay

The night before last I took a Hinder CD and a Disturbed CD, hopped in the car, opened the sun roof, drove to Bel Air and blasted "Indestructible" and "Inside the Fire" among other amazing songs.  I forgot how much I loved going out at night.  Mark was at work and for some reason, I feel very uneasy being at home without him... Not super very... I'd just rather be out...  Even if it's by myself.  Which is okay. :)  Going to Kohl's was a lot of fun... I didn't get much, just a few bras that actually seem to fit me (YAY) and some pj pants and boxers for Mark.  He seems to love them, and that makes me happy. :)  I don't get out too much, unless it's going to work.  And it just seemed... free-ing.  Just going out... doing what I love to do (smart shopping at Kohl's. ;) )  and I even got to have half of a guilt-free cigarette.

That reminds me... I think someone swiped my cigs yesterday.  They're GONE!  Either that or I left them on the bench... probably the latter.  God damn it.  But I need to quit... So does Mark.  And as soon as he starts his chemo on tuesday that'll be it for me... I  need to be strong for him... and I can't wave a cigarette in front of his face when he's sick and dying to have one and he knows he can't... or just doesn't have the stomach for it but he still wants one.

I close at Target tonight... which isn't that much of a problem.  2-10:30... typical close.  Same as last night.  Hopefully tonight will be better though.  Last night was just short of insanity on the front end. hahah  It'll be fun, I think.  It should be soon as soon as it gets darker, and there will be plenty of people in costume. :)

Fridays are so pointless. Well, the lesson itself isn't, but the fact it's right in the middle of the day and I need to go into college for just one and a half hours seems relatively pointless. :(
 
Because I didn't have to get up until fairly late, I made up my lost hours of sleep that I used last night to play Pokémon Ranger: Shadows Of Almia instead. Yeah, I said I'd finished it in my older blogs - but then there's the matter of the epic amount of sidequests. Being the obsessive completionist that I am - they must ALL be finished. It's the law.
 
Mam drove me into college about 10 minutes before Film Studies and I hung about on the ground floor playing Solitaire and listening to Judas Priest. My current 'play-on-repeat' song is Electric Eye. I've learnt most of the words - I'll be able to do it on GH:GH vocals soon. :)
 
(I'm writing this in the LRC at college and I'd just like to say that THIS SPACE BAR IS A PILE OF WANK.)
 
Anyway. Film Studies was one of those handout lessons. Sarah gave us a wodge of sheets about Mise en Scene and we were to fill in the blanks on them. I shot through this - I didn't even need to use the word banks at the bottom of the sheets. Tee hee.
 
With all this free time I'd rendered myself, I wrote a few more coursework notes in the back of my notebook and wrote the lyrics to Electric Eye all over the front cover. :)

On the way to the bus station, I stopped off at Home Bargains and landed myself a bag of tasty junk food items for £1.01.
Two bags of crisps, two Reisen bars and a can of Coke.
 
These were promptly taken home and enjoyed during my Super Paper Mario marathon. :)
I'm currently at chapter 7-2. It shan't be long now...

A song for fun
